Freakshow HD MSX2-L: The Ultimate Compact 4K/12G Reclocking DA
In today's fast-paced production environments, signal integrity and reliability are paramount. Every foot of cable introduces risk, and bulky equipment can slow you down. Enter the Freakshow HD MSX2-L Micro Split, a game-changing 4K/12G Reclocking Distribution Amplifier engineered to solve these exact challenges. We've created the world's most compact 4K DA to deliver pristine signal duplication and extension without the bulk, making it an indispensable tool for DITs, camera operators, and broadcast engineers.
At its core, the MSX2-L is a powerhouse of signal processing. It takes a single SDI input and flawlessly duplicates it across two outputs. But it doesn't just split the signal; it revitalizes it. Featuring the latest in automatic cable equalization and reclocking technology, the MSX2-L actively rebuilds the signal, eliminating jitter and correcting for degradation caused by long cable runs. This allows you to achieve astonishing transmission distances—up to 246 feet (75m) with a full 12G-SDI signal and over 700 feet with 3G-SDI—far beyond the limits of standard equipment. Say goodbye to signal dropouts and hello to rock-solid reliability, even at the highest resolutions.
Built for today and tomorrow, the MSX2-L boasts incredible multi-rate flexibility. It automatically detects and processes all major SDI formats, from legacy 270Mb SD-SDI right up to stunning 4K 12G-SDI, ensuring seamless integration with your existing gear while future-proofing your investment. Its minuscule footprint makes it the perfect companion for modern camera rigs, crowded DIT carts, or any mobile setup where space and weight are critical. Professional workflows demand professional hardware, which is why the MSX2-L includes a robust, locking LEMO power connector, eliminating the risk of accidental power loss during a critical take. Stop compromising and elevate your signal management with this tiny titan of technology.
