    1. Prior to Starting 1-1. Overview The MFR-3100EX is a multi-format routing switcher that supports 12G-SDI (When MFR-8SDIGB/ 8SDOGB are installed), 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, SD-SDI, ASI, AES/EBU, MADI and analog audio signals. Inside the 4U case a matrix of up to 64 inputs/72 outputs can be configured. And by linking multiple units, they can be used as a large-scale routing switcher.

  • Page 12 MFR-16MV cards can also be installed to the router. A single MFR-16MV card provides 16 outputs (using two slots) and supports two multiview channels. To output multiview images, a multiview channel (MV OUT1 or MV OUT2) needs to be directly assigned to output ports. Instead of multiview images, you can also assign any destination channel to output ports as a single image.
