Two inputs, one output
3G / HD / SD-SDI 2x1 Switcher
Two SDI feeds, one monitor or one transmitter feed: press the button and the other input goes on air.
A 2x1 switcher is the cheapest way to keep a second source on the same cable: a backup camera, a second playback machine, or a spare feed from the truck. Both inputs stay connected, one is routed to the output, and the choice is made at the box.
This unit is deliberately simple. It switches the SDI signal it is given, at SD, HD or 3G rates, and the front panel shows which input is currently selected.

Product
3G / HD / SD-SDI 2x1 Switcher
Two SDI sources on one cable path: push the button and the other input goes on air, with the front-panel LEDs showing which one is live.
What it does
- +Two SDI inputs on BNC, marked SDI IN1 and SDI IN2, and one SDI output on BNC, marked SDI OUT.
- +Changeover between the two inputs is made with the push button on the unit, without re-patching cables.
- +Accepts SD-SDI, HD-SDI and 3G-SDI sources, so older and current gear can share the same output path.
- +Front panel carries a POWER LED plus CH1 and CH2 status LEDs, so the selected input is visible without a monitor.
- +Rear panel DC input marked 5-36 V, which covers 12 V camera supplies and 24 V truck rails.
- +Compact metal case, small enough to sit behind a monitor or in a rack tray.
