About this Manual
The Extron SW4 3G HD-SDI switcher is a four-input, two parallel output, multi-rate switcher. It allows up to four SDI or HD-SDI video input sources to be switched to two identical outputs on female BNC connectors.
The SW4 HD-SDI supports multiple SDI rates, including 270 Mbits per second, 1.485 Gbps, and 2.97 Gbps.
The switcher can be controlled via the front panel buttons, or via RS-232 communication, using Extron’s Simple Instruction Set (SIS™).
It also features an auto-input switch mode that automatically switches to the highest numbered input with active sync pulses present. Executive mode is available to lock out the front panel as a security measure.
