Dual 2x1 or 4x2 HD / SD SDI Switch
A convenient and economical solution for systems requiring switching of up to 4 input video sources,
SDI and / or HD SDI, to 1 or 2 outputs.
The DSS-8224 can be congured as a pair of independent 2x1
switches or as a pair of 4x1 switches with common inputs. The
DSS-8224 accepts common serial digital signals at 143, 270,
360, 540Mb/s and 1.485Gb/s. All switches are performed in the
vertical interval, timed to an external reference. Each switch can
be controlled locally at the card-edge by an optional
RCM-8120 control module or by GPI. DashBoard and optional
SNMP monitoring is provided for input presence, reference
present and output status.
The DSS-8224 can be combined, on a common control system,
with the AVS-8764 to perform multi-level, analog video, AES
audio, and HD / SD SDI switching.
The DSS-8224 can be congured in auto-changeover mode. In
this mode, the secondary input is selected when the primary is
lost or lock cannot be achieved.
