Monoprice 110319 3G SDI 2x1 Switch

The Monoprice 3G SDI 2x1 Switch is a compact signal routing device designed for professional video workflows where operators need to select between two SDI sources and output to a single destination — whether that is a monitor, recorder, or downstream switcher. Supporting the full SD-SDI, HD-SDI, and 3G-SDI specification range, it handles everything from standard definition 525i/625i signals through full HD 1080p at 50 and 60Hz, with a maximum throughput of 2.970 Gbps.

Color fidelity is well served with support for RGB, YCbCr 4:4:4, and YCbCr 4:2:2 color spaces at 8-bit, 10-bit, and 12-bit depths, ensuring the switch does not degrade signal quality in color-critical production environments. The straightforward two-input, one-output topology keeps operation simple — ideal for camera ISO switching, confidence monitoring, or small live production setups where a full-scale routing matrix would be overkill. At Monoprice's typical price point, it fills a practical gap for budget-conscious productions that still demand reliable SDI signal integrity.
