Intelligent SDI input switching based on signal integrity and full flexibility of input to output routing makes this product useful in any optical transport application, being in front of a transmission chain or at the receive end. Full hot-swap functionality with all electronics including optics placed on the main board ensures minimum service breakage in the event of card swap. The card brings higher density to modular conversion enabling up to 40 media conversion in 2RU. Multicon Gyda provides SNMP support and web interface for monitoring and configuration of the unit and with its on-board SDI probes this brings in-line monitoring of services running on the product.
