Teradek Launches RF-X

The Teradek RF-X Auto Switcher provides smarter redundancy, stronger signal and superior quality, enabling ACs, DITs, technical directors and video engineers to replace complex manual solutions with a single intelligent device. The RF-X ingests up to six feeds from Teradek Ranger or Bolt receivers, automatically detecting and selecting the best available signal path. The device outputs a single, clean 12G-SDI feed, delivered via BNC or SDI fiber SFP, ensuring the highest quality video is delivered directly into the switcher or video-village monitor. The Teradek RF-X lists for $4,490. Follow Teradek on Facebook and Instagram. Keep up with American Cinematographer on Facebook and Instagram....more
