[ PANACEA Clean and Quiet Switch ]
Panacea Clean and Quiet Switch is the industry’s most powerful dual-channel clean video with embedded audio
routing switcher — providing more features, functions and signal outputs than any similar product available today.

Panacea Dual-Channel Clean and Quiet Switch 1RU

Two Clean and Quiet Outputs
The Panacea Clean/Quiet Switch provides
two clean and quiet outputs for SDI and
HD-SDI signals with embedded audio
along with additional auxiliary buses to be
used as presets or utility routing. This
unique feature permits routing of SDI and
HD-SDI signals simultaneously in an
HD-SDI wideband version of the clean
switch, allowing full use of your clean
switch investment while transitioning from
SDI to HD-SDI. The two copies of both
clean outputs can be combined with
flexible partitioning options of the 16 inputs
to fit any multi-format application.
