RS-1600SDI 16X16 Digital Video Switcher


The RS-1600 is a 16 input by 16 output digital video routing switcher supporting the SDI Serial Digital Interface video format. The router receives serial digital video signals (4fsc, 4:2:2), and connects any of the 16 inputs to any of the 16 outputs under local pushbutton control, or via RS-232/RS-422 serial commands.

The switcher features automatic cable equalization and data/clock recovery for all video inputs, the capability to drive up to 300m of coaxial cable from any output, and a user selectable reference video input (composite or SDI). The system is housed in a 1 rack unit (RU) enclosure.

Video connections are made via BNC connectors.
