SS 6.1 MLR/BNC – 6x1 Passive Switcher/Router - Broadcast Tools

SS 6.1 MLR/BNC – 6×1 Passive Switcher/Router

The SS 6.1 MLR/BNC is a transparent 6×1 BNC switcher designed for N+1 installations and other applications where composite/MPX baseband, AES-3id, or other unbalanced signal switching is necessary. Switching is accomplished using mechanical latching gold contact relays, which means that the unit can route a signal in either direction and it will keep routing signal even after losing power. The SS 6.1 MLR/BNC can be controlled and monitored locally via front panel controls and/or remotely with simple opto-isolated contact closure inputs and dry contact status relay outputs, as well with multi-drop RS-232 serial commands, or TCP/UDP commands over Ethernet.
