3G-SDI BNC to Fiber Optic 4×4 Mini Switcher,
(SFP TX modules included)
List Price: $1,795 USD
Overview
Matrix Switch Corporation’s Mini SFP SDI video routing switchers provide a powerful and flexible solution for routing SDI signals using pluggable SFP modules.
The MSC-FS44BFL router provides 4 BNC inputs and 4 SFP outputs. This router offers a compact, powerful, flexible, and low cost SDI SFP solution.
MSA compatible SFP slots provide many output signal options, such as our MSC-SFPTX-F 3G fiber optic transmitter module or 3rd party compatible modules.
Matrix Switch Corporation routers offer flexible and user friendly control, including a button interface, built in web page, our powerful but easy to use MASCOT protocol, and some common 3rd party protocols.
