LASSEN SDI™ 8 SERIES ROUTING SWITCHERS

 

LASSEN SDI 88 SERIES SERIES 

SDI VIDEO WITH STEREO AUDIO.

 

DESCRIPTION  

The Lassen 8 series are high performance routing switchers for SDI (SMPTE 259) and HD-
SDI (SMPTE 292) video signals. These units come in a compact 2U (3.5”) frame and can 
be ordered with or without digital audio. They can route any or all inputs to any or all 
outputs. HD-SDI models can input SDI and HD-SDI simultaneously, but there is no 
conversion between formats.
