The Ultimate On-Set Signal Management Tool
Meet the Freakshow HD 2×4-L, the definitive solution for complex on-set video signal management, engineered for the demanding professional. In the fast-paced world of film and video production, reliable signal distribution is not a luxury—it's a necessity. This compact powerhouse is a complete video assist system in a box, designed to eliminate the headaches of routing multiple camera feeds to video villages, director's monitors, and remote focus pullers. Say goodbye to signal degradation and cluttered power cables; the 2x4-L is built to bring order to the chaos and ensure every monitor gets a pristine, rock-solid image every time.
At its core, the 2x4-L offers unmatched routing flexibility. With two inputs and four outputs, it can adapt instantly to any on-set scenario. Use it in 2x4 mode to send a single A-camera feed to four different destinations simultaneously. Or, with the flip of a switch, engage the dual 1x4 mode to manage two independent sources—perfect for A/B camera setups. This allows you to send your A-cam signal to two outputs and your B-cam signal to the other two, all from a single, self-contained unit. This adaptability makes it an indispensable tool for DITs, camera assistants, and video engineers who need to respond quickly to changing production requirements.
But the Freakshow HD 2x4-L is more than just a signal splitter; it's a guardian of your signal integrity. Featuring state-of-the-art re-clocking and equalization on all outputs, it actively regenerates the SDI signal. This process strips away jitter and corrects for data errors that accumulate over long cable runs, ensuring the signal that arrives at the monitor is as clean as the one that left the camera. It confidently extends two 3Gb/s SDI signals over an impressive 120 meters (nearly 400 feet) each, providing the robust performance needed for large-scale sets, live events, and complex studio configurations.
True freedom on set comes from cutting the cord. The 2x4-L’s built-in, high-capacity lithium-ion battery delivers a remarkable 12 hours of continuous operation, allowing you to place it anywhere—on a camera cart, a remote stand, or even attached to a mobile camera rig—without being tethered to an AC outlet. For studio use or integration with professional camera power systems, it also features a wide 12-36V DC input with a secure, locking power connector. Rugged, reliable, and incredibly versatile, the Freakshow HD 2x4-L is the go-to distribution amplifier for professionals who can't afford to compromise on quality or flexibility.
