Overview 

The 

6241N 4x1 SDI Switcher 

is a high-performance switcher for serial 

digital video signals. It takes any one of four SDI inputs, provides 
reclocking and equalization, and outputs the signal to one SDI output. 

The 

6241N

 features: 

 

A maximum data rate up to 540Mbps 

 

SMPTE 259M and 344M compliance  

 

Adjustment-free operation 

 

Automatic equalization for losses on 75

 coaxial cable

Reclocking the input signal to provide a low-jitter serial digital 
output 

 

 

8-bit and 10-bit video operation, automatically recognizing the word 
length 

To achieve the best performance: 

 

Use only good quality connection cables

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that 
may adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer 

6241N 

away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust 

 to avoid interference, 

deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated 
noise levels (often associated with low quality cables). 

 

 

 

Caution

 – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.
