DSS-8224
Multi-definition Dual 2x1 or 4x2 SDI/HD SDI switch
Provides a convenient and economical solution for systems that require switching of up to 4 input video sources, SDI and/or HD SDI, to 1 or 2 outputs.

The DSS-8224 can be configured 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, 540 and 1485 Mb/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 optionally 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-8064 and the DSS-8024 to perform multi-level, analog video, AES audio, SDI video and HD-SDI switching.
