Description
RGBlink mini-edge SDI – 4K Video Switcher
The RGBlink mini-edge SDI is a professional all-in-one video production and streaming system designed for multi-camera live production.
It combines 4K HDMI inputs, 3G-SDI inputs, NDI connectivity, USB video, audio mixing, recording and live streaming in a compact system. This makes it suitable for customers who need to connect both modern HDMI cameras and professional SDI cameras to the same production system.
The mini-edge SDI supports up to four HDMI 2.0 inputs and four 3G-SDI inputs, providing a total of eight physical HDMI/SDI camera or video sources. It also supports UVC and NDI sources.
4K HDMI and SDI Inputs
One of the major advantages of the mini-edge SDI is its combination of HDMI and SDI connectivity.
It provides:
- 4 × HDMI 2.0 inputs
- 4 × 3G-SDI inputs
- 1 × USB-C UVC input
- 1 × NDI input/output
HDMI inputs support 4K signals up to 60 fps, while the SDI inputs support SD/HD/3G-SDI formats up to 1080p60.
This makes the mini-edge SDI suitable for mixed camera environments where HDMI and SDI equipment need to be used together.
Multi-Camera Live Production
The mini-edge SDI is designed for multi-camera productions where several video sources need to be managed from a single system.
It can be used with:
- PTZ cameras
- HDMI cameras
- SDI cameras
- Computers
- NDI sources
- USB video sources
The built-in 5.5-inch display provides local menu operation and video monitoring/multiview.
NDI and IP Video
The mini-edge SDI supports NDI/HX2, providing connectivity with compatible network video equipment.
The Ethernet connection can also be used for network-based control and streaming workflows.
This makes the mini-edge SDI a useful bridge between traditional SDI/HDMI production and modern IP video environments.
Live Streaming
The mini-edge SDI can be used as the central production device for live streaming.
Its USB streaming output can be recognized as a webcam by compatible computers and streaming applications. RGBlink specifically lists applications including YouTube, Facebook and Zoom.
It can therefore be used for:
- YouTube Live
- Facebook Live
- Online events
- Corporate streaming
- Education
- Houses of worship
- Live presentations
- Multi-camera content creation
USB Recording
The mini-edge SDI supports recording to USB storage in MP4 format.
It supports FAT32 and exFAT storage formats, with exFAT supporting larger storage devices.
This allows the same system to be used for both live streaming and recording.
PTZ Camera Control
The mini-edge SDI can provide manual PTZ camera control, including functions such as:
- Pan
- Tilt
- Zoom
- Focus
PTZ cameras can be controlled through VISCA or NDI.
This makes the mini-edge SDI particularly interesting for DVBGear because you are already selling PTZOptics cameras.
A customer can potentially build a complete system around:
PTZ camera + mini-edge SDI + streaming platform
Audio Mixing
The mini-edge SDI provides multiple audio connections and supports audio mixing.
The current specifications include:
- Phantom-powered microphone input
- Line input
- Audio outputs
- Embedded HDMI/SDI audio
- Up to 8-channel audio mixing
This allows customers to integrate microphones and other audio sources into the live production workflow.
Professional Monitoring
The built-in 5.5-inch TFT display provides local monitoring and menu operation.
The unit also provides two HDMI outputs for monitoring Preview, Program or other available video outputs.
This is useful when the operator needs to monitor multiple sources while producing a live program.
