LASSEN SDI 88 SERIES SERIES
SDI VIDEO WITH STEREO AUDIO.
DESCRIPTION
The Lassen 8 series are high performance routing switchers for SDI (SMPTE 259) and HD-
SDI (SMPTE 292) video signals. These units come in a compact 2U (3.5”) frame and can
be ordered with or without digital audio. They can route any or all inputs to any or all
outputs. HD-SDI models can input SDI and HD-SDI simultaneously, but there is no
conversion between formats.
