1080p and has convenient switching methods. How It Works Up to four 3G-SDI sources connect to BNC input jacks on one side of the Gefen 4x1 3G-SDI Switcher. A single 3G-SDI output connects on the output side. Power is applied to the 4x1 3G-SDI Switcher and a vibrant video picture is transmitted to the output device.
OPERATION NOTES READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THE 4X1 3G-SDI SWITCHER • The 4x1 3G-SDI Switcher will accept the following formats: SDI - SMPTE 259M-C (270Mbps) HD-SDI -SMPTE 292M (1.485, 1.485/1.001 Gbps) HD-SDI-SMPTE 424M/425M (2.97/3.0 Gbps)
FEATURES Features • Switches four 3G-SDI sources instantly without signal degradation • Streamlines equipment by eliminating unnecessary hardware • Switching is accomplished 3 ways -- by using the optional IR remote, the front panel selector button, or the RS-232 interface. •...
PANEL DESCRIPTIONS IR (Infrared) Receiver This receiver will accept command for switching between input devices using the included RMT-4IR remote control. Line of sight must be preserved between the remote and unit for proper operation. Power LED Indicator This LED will become active once the included 5V DC power supply is properly connected between the unit and an open wall power socket.
CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE 4X1 3G-SDI SWITCHER How to Connect the 4x1 3G-SDI Switcher Connect up to four 3G-SDI, HD-SDI or SDI source devices to the 4x1 3G-SDI Switcher’s inputs using user supplied cables. Connect a single 3G-SDI, HD-SDI or SDI capable device to the 4x1 3G-SDI Switcher’s outputs using a user supplied cable.
RMT-4IR REMOTE DESCRIPTION The included RMT-4IR remote control is used to switch between inputs on the 4x1 3G-SDI Switcher. Only one input can be selected at a time and this input is then output to the connected SDI output device. Switching Press the button 1 to switch to input 1 Press the button 2 to switch to input 2...
IR CODE CONFIGURATION Why would I need to change the remote channel? In some instances, the 4x1 3G-SDI Switcher may use IR codes that confl ict with other IR remote control devices. The unit may switch inputs when another brand IR remote control is used or the RMT-4IR may cause other brand IR controlled devices to behave unexpectedly.
RS-232 SERIAL CONTROL INTERFACE What features are available via the RS-232 serial communications port? The 4x1 3G-SDI Switcher can accept commands through the RS-232 serial communications port located on the rear panel. The current RS-232 control features are: • Switching/routing of inputs to the outputs without the RMT-4IR remote control.
