TERADEK RF-X Auto-Switcher for Bolt 4K/6 and Ranger RXs

TERADEK RF-X Auto-Switcher for Bolt 4K/6 and Ranger RXs

The Teradek RF-X (Radio Frequency Matrix) is an intelligent auto-switching system that continuously monitors up to six redundant Bolt or Ranger receivers (run over hardline SDI connections) and automatically selects the strongest available video signal.

The result is a single, uninterrupted 12G-SDI output, even in the most congested RF environments. Built for broadcast, live events, and cine production, RF-X delivers the best possible video quality across complex signal paths, operating with zero delay and requiring zero user intervention. From sports and concerts to cine productions, RF-X thrives in chaotic RF environments. As cameras, talent, and obstacles move, RF-X automatically locks onto the strongest signal to keep your feed clean and uninterrupted. No manual switching and minimal to zero dropped frames or video degradation. Just reliable wireless performance when every moment counts.

The RF-X is ideal for these applications

• Events and Stadiums
• Steadicam or other long tracking shots
• Car scenes
• Hospital, Military, or Airport Locations

Even simple set ups with known RF interference Because fiber is immune to RF noise, ground loops, and other electrical interference, it provides an additional, highly reliable signal path, further protecting your video feed from signal loss or degradation. This fiber connection can extend video to off-set DIT carts, Video Village, additional video switchers, or ancillary routing systems, even across long distances. Two or more RF-X units can be linked over single-mode fiber using the RF-X's SFP port.

Features

• Combines Multiple Bolt or Ranger SDI outputs into a single SDI output (RF-X is compatible with all models of Bolt 4K, Bolt 6, and Ranger Series. You must use all Bolts or all Rangers. You can’t mix and match.)
• Automatically chooses the best input signal based on the RF Strength
• Increases coverage area by "networking" receivers
• Removes the operator and equipment needed to switch multiple receivers
• Multiple RF-X units can be connected together via single-mode fiber using the SFP port

Connectivity

• 12G-SDI (6x Inputs, 2x Outputs)
• SFP (SDI Fiber) - connect 2 RF-X over fiber for extended range (SFP Module and Fiber Cable sold separately. Distances are based on SFP Module and can vary.)
• Ethernet for Web UI access and Firmware
• USB-C for Web UI access and Firmware
