RF-X Auto Video Switcher
RF-X is a seamless, zero-delay video switcher designed to work with multiple Bolt or Ranger receivers (RX) connected to the same transmitter (TX). Bolt and Ranger embed signal quality data into their SDI outputs, and RF-X uses that data to ensure that the highest quality picture is always present on its 12G-SDI output. When working with other sources, RF-X acts as a failover switcher. Video switching is completely seamless, adding robustness and redundancy for the most demanding jobs.
