KanexPro 4-Output SDI Card for Modular Matrix

Bring scalable, broadcast‑grade video routing to your KanexPro HDMMX modular matrix with the KanexPro 4-Output SDI Card. This high‑bandwidth SDI module is designed to expand your output capacity without adding complexity, letting installers add or remove channels as needs evolve. The 3GSDOCARD supports SD, HD, and 3G‑SDI formats in adaptive fashion, providing reliable performance across a range of professional applications—from small studios to live event infrastructure and corporate AV installations. Built for demanding environments, this modular card integrates seamlessly with the HDMMX family, delivering consistent signal integrity and flexible routing you can depend on.

• 4 independent SDI outputs that can be added to your HDMMX modular matrix to expand output channels as needed, enabling scalable video routing without a complete system overhaul.
• Broad format compatibility including SD-SDI, HD-SDI, and 3G-SDI (adaptive), so you can accommodate a variety of sources and destinations with a single module.
• High‑bandwidth, reliable performance designed to preserve video quality and minimize latency across multiple routed paths in broadcast and live environments.
• Hot‑swappable modular design that simplifies expansion and maintenance, reducing downtime when you need to scale up or reconfigure outputs.
• Compact, rugged form factor engineered for KanexPro’s modular matrix ecosystem, with durable BNC connections and straightforward installation into the HDMMX chassis.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What formats does the KanexPro 4-Output SDI Card support?
• A: It supports SD-SDI, HD-SDI, and 3G-SDI in adaptive mode, enabling compatibility with a wide range of sources and destinations.
• Q: How many outputs does this card provide?
• A: The card provides 4 independent SDI outputs that can be routed from the HDMMX matrix as needed.
• Q: Do I need an external power supply for this card?
• A: No. The module is powered through the HDMMX chassis backplane, simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter.
• Q: Can I hot-swap or remove the card without powering down the system?
• A: While the card is designed for modular use, best practice recommends powering down the system before removing or reconfiguring modules to prevent any potential signal or backplane issues.
• Q: Is this card compatible with KanexPro HDMMX matrices from all generations?
• A: The KanexPro 3GSDOCARD is designed for HDMMX modular matrix switchers within its recommended product family. Check your chassis compatibility in the HDMMX product documentation or with your reseller to ensure exact model fit.
• Q: How can I verify signal routing after installation?
• A: Use the KanexPro control interface to assign each of the four SDI outputs to the desired destinations, then perform a test pattern or feed your actual sources to confirm signal integrity and format compatibility across all paths.
