KanexPro 4-Input SDI Card for Modular Matrix

The KanexPro MOD-IN-SDI is a high-performance 4-input SDI module designed to extend and enhance the capabilities of KanexPro’s HDMMX modular matrix switchers. Built for broadcast-grade reliability and professional AV installations, this input card lets system integrators scale input channels quickly and efficiently by simply adding or removing cards from the modular chassis. With its emphasis on bandwidth and format versatility, the MOD-IN-SDI is an ideal choice for environments that demand flexible signal routing, minimal latency, and rock-solid SDI performance. Whether you’re building a compact production workflow or a large-scale live event system, this card delivers the essential SDI input capacity you need while preserving seamless integration with the rest of the KanexPro modular ecosystem.

  • Expandable input capacity for modular systems: Each MOD-IN-SDI card adds four SDI input channels to your HDMMX matrix. This modular approach lets you tailor input counts to the specific needs of your project, enabling rapid scalability as production demands evolve without replacing existing infrastructure.
  • Broad SDI format support: The card handles a range of SDI formats, including SD, HD, and 3G-SDI in adaptive fashion. This ensures compatibility with a wide variety of cameras, decks, and converters, simplifying integration in mixed-format environments.
  • Optimized for KanexPro HDMMX modular matrix switchers: Built to complement the HDMMX family, the MOD-IN-SDI maintains tight interoperability with KanexPro control logic, routing, and management tools. The result is predictable behavior, straightforward configuration, and a cohesive control experience across the entire matrix.
  • High-bandwidth performance for professional workflows: Designed to deliver dependable, low-latency signal processing across multiple inputs, the MOD-IN-SDI supports demanding AV and broadcast workflows where signal integrity and timing alignment are critical. Expect clean, reliable SDI transport even in complex routing scenarios.
  • Easy installation and maintenance within a modular chassis: The card is intended for straightforward installation into compatible KanexPro chassis. Its plug-in design minimizes downtime for capacity upgrades and maintenance, helping installers complete projects efficiently and with minimal disruption to ongoing productions.

How to install KanexPro 4-Input SDI Card for Modular Matrix

Installing the MOD-IN-SDI is straightforward for technicians familiar with KanexPro modular systems. Follow these steps to add four SDI inputs to your HDMMX matrix:

1. Prepare the chassis – Power down the KanexPro modular matrix chassis and disconnect power if you’re performing maintenance on other modules. Ensure the workspace is static-free and you have the appropriate ESD precautions in place.

2. Locate an available slot – Identify an open expansion slot in the HDMMX chassis designed for input modules. Confirm that the slot is compatible with the MOD-IN-SDI module and that there is adequate cooling for added heat dissipation.

3. Align and insert – Align the MOD-IN-SDI card with the slot’s connectors and gently slide it in until it seats securely. Avoid applying excessive force; the card should engage smoothly with the backplane.

4. Secure the module – Fasten the card with any required retaining hardware or screws as specified by KanexPro. This helps prevent movement and ensures stable operation within the chassis.

5. Reconnect power and configure – Restore power to the chassis. Use the matrix control interface to verify each input channel, assign routing rules, and set any necessary formatting or timing options to align with your production workflow.

6. Verify signal integrity – Connect SDI sources to the four input connectors and confirm clean video, proper audio routing (if applicable), and correct metadata handling. Run a short diagnostic to ensure all four inputs are recognized by the matrix and available for routing.

7. Document and test – Document the new input configuration for future maintenance. Run end-to-end tests to verify live routing behavior, latency, and synchronization with downstream destinations. This ensures operators experience consistent results during production or broadcast.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What does the KanexPro MOD-IN-SDI card do? A: It adds four SDI input channels to a KanexPro HDMMX modular matrix, enabling scalable input capacity and flexible signal routing within a single chassis or across multiple modules.
  • Q: Which SDI formats are supported? A: The card supports SD, HD, and 3G-SDI formats in adaptive fashion, allowing integration with a variety of cameras and devices in mixed-format environments.
  • Q: Is this card compatible with all KanexPro matrices? A: It is designed for use with KanexPro HDMMX modular matrix switchers and their associated backplanes. Always verify compatibility with your specific chassis model and firmware version.
  • Q: How is installation performed? A: Install the card into an available HDMMX slot with power off, secure the module, reconnect power, and configure inputs and routing in the matrix control interface, followed by testing to ensure proper operation.
