(This product is discontinued.) The 9284 provides card-based solutions for SDI routing. Utilizing the openGear® open-architecture platform, the card offers scalable incorporation and the easy-to-use DashBoard™ setup and control operator interface. The video routing switch accepts up to eight SDI inputs and routes these inputs to up to four SDI outputs using DashBoard™ network remote control or generic serial-based command string protocol. All inputs are equipped with cable equalizers (which can be enabled or disabled as desired). All outputs are equipped with reclocking, which can independently be set for auto reclock, format-specific reclock, or reclock turned off. Source-to-destination routing is non-inverting, thereby allowing these cards to pass DVB-ASI signals.
The card switches on the correct line in the vertical blanking interval if a video reference is present at one of the two reference inputs on the rear of the openGear frame. Full user remote and card-edge monitor/control, as well as serial comm command string protocol allows full card status and control access locally or across a standard Ethernet network.
