Freakshow HD 1x8 12G-SDI Reclocking Distribution Amplifier
In the demanding world of professional video production, signal integrity is non-negotiable. The Freakshow HD MSX8-O Microsplit 1x8 Reclocking DA is the ultimate solution for distributing pristine video signals without compromise. Engineered for broadcast, live events, and post-production, this ultra-compact workhorse takes a single 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI source and flawlessly replicates it across eight reclocked outputs. Say goodbye to signal degradation and jitter over long cable runs; the advanced reclocking technology in the MSX8-O regenerates the SDI signal, ensuring each output is a perfect, jitter-free clone of the original. This means you can confidently feed monitors, recorders, switchers, and broadcast feeds, knowing your video quality is preserved.
Designed for the rigors of field use and the confined spaces of equipment racks, the MSX8-O boasts a robust, miniature chassis that can be deployed anywhere. Its intelligent design automatically detects the incoming video format—from standard definition up to stunning DCI 4K—and adjusts accordingly, making setup effortless. This future-proofs your workflow, ensuring you're ready for the highest resolutions today and tomorrow. The unit's signal extension capabilities are exceptional, capable of pushing a 4K 12G-SDI signal up to 246 feet using high-quality Belden 1694A cabling. For other formats, the reach is even more impressive, providing unparalleled flexibility in complex setups. This model features a professional, secure LEMO-type locking power input, preventing accidental disconnects during critical moments. Whether you're building a video village on set, equipping a mobile production truck, or upgrading your studio infrastructure, the Freakshow HD 1x8 Reclocking DA delivers the reliability and performance you demand.
