About the ISIS Innovation 16x16 SDI Matrix Router

The ISIS Innovation 16x16 SDI Matrix Router is a highly capable and compact broadcast solution, designed specifically for professional environments like OB vans, live production studios, and control rooms where efficient signal routing and monitoring are crucial. This device distinguishes itself by offering dual functionality within a single, space-saving 1U rack-mount chassis: it operates as a full 16-input, 16-output 3G-SDI matrix switcher while also integrating a comprehensive multiviewer. This clever combination allows operators to route any input to any output simultaneously, while also displaying multiple video sources in customizable layouts on a single monitoring screen, complete with helpful overlays like UMDs, audio meters, and timecode.
The engineering behind this router focuses on professional reliability and seamless operation.

It handles various SDI rates—SD, HD, and 3G-SDI—automatically detecting the input format, which simplifies integration within diverse legacy and modern broadcast infrastructures. A key feature of the "seamless" variants of this technology is the built-in frame synchronizer, which ensures smooth transitions between signals of different resolutions and frame rates without experiencing disruptive black screens. Control is flexible, offering both physical front-panel buttons and knob control for quick adjustments, as well as remote management via PC software over a standard LAN connection or serial ports (RS-232/RS-422). The inclusion of a redundant dual power supply design further underscores its suitability for mission-critical applications where failure is simply not an option.

In essence, the ISIS Innovation 16x16 SDI Matrix Router serves as a versatile workhorse for broadcast professionals who require a high-density, reliable, and feature-rich routing solution in a small footprint. Its ability to pass all ancillary data and embedded audio without compromise makes it a truly production-ready tool. The product is frequently identified as a white-label version of the AVMATRIX MSS1611-S or similar professional OEM hardware, and can sometimes be found for purchase through specialized broadcast equipment suppliers.
