Know before you buy
The module can be mounted in either direction within the 8-Bay Reversible Rackmount Converter. This allows you to choose whether the SDI ports face the front or the back of your rack, making it much easier to manage cables based on your specific workflow.
Yes, the module supports 12G-SDI, which is capable of carrying 4K Ultra HD signals at up to 60 frames per second. It includes built-in signal reclocking and amplification to ensure your signal remains clean and stable across all eight outputs.
The unit supports 16 channels of embedded audio with 24-bit depth. As long as your SDI signal carries embedded audio, this module will pass it through to all outputs without needing separate audio cables.
No, the module features automatic signal format detection. It identifies the incoming SDI signal and adjusts accordingly, supporting various SMPTE standards including 12G, 6G, 3G, and HD-SDI.
While the module is designed for seamless integration into the Theatrixx 8-Bay Reversible Rackmount Converter, it is a modular component. It is intended to be used within that rack system to benefit from the magnetic power retention pins and secure housing.
The module is rated for an operating temperature of 0-40 °C and a humidity range of 0% to 90% non-condensing. While it is robust, it is intended for controlled broadcast or studio environments rather than extreme outdoor conditions.
