When operated as a port-based switcher it provides up to 128-ports in a mere 3RU. As a crosspoint router with up to 64 x 64 in 3RU, it’s the ideal companion for any Freeway or other Pro-Bel video/audio router. In port-based operation a connected device can function as a controller or ‘slave.’ With the one-to-many function, one controller can broadcast commands to multiple devices simultaneously, making easy work of tape duplication. With RS422 routers a common problem is ‘releasing’ connections when done so other operators can use them. Freeway gives you the choice to either automatically or manually ‘park’ connections when done, thus operating according to your specific needs and helping to eliminate ‘busy’ messages. Freeway RS422 routing provides flexible and workable solutions to answer real-world needs
