Description
The ISO X2 is a True 12G SDI 1:2 (1 in 2 out) video distribution amplifier with a 12G isolator built in and re-clocked outputs (cleaner signal, longer runs, no glitches).
Mutiny's system was co-developed with FreakshowHD and features everything the MSX2 series offers and more. Mutiny's solution not only protects your 12G port on your camera, monitor, or other 12G SDI device, but also doesn't lose quality and can handle long distance cable runs (extending a DCI 4K signal up to 246′).
Instead of removing the 12G SDI cable from the camera when powering up/down the camera and between battery swaps, you simply switch (press button) from the signal (SIG) to isolation (ISO) mode. Once switched to ISO the red LED turns off and your signal feed to your monitor/wireless TX is cut while maintaining ground at all times. You then swap your battery with a fresh one. Once everything is on, you switch back to signal (SIG) the red LED turns on and your video feed is now live again.
The isolator does require power via a 2pin 0B input. Once the isolator is in ISO mode it retains isolation when power is removed between battery swaps.
Unlike other solutions on the market, Mutiny's 12G isolator features two levels of protection. The first level of protection is an ESD smart circuit that is AC coupled preventing any DC present on the signal. The second level of protection is a logic switch which is a button with electronic switching, that when engaged, cuts the signal path to the camera and to the monitor / wireless transmitter electronically, keeping only ground connected at all times. This arrests any power spikes from going back to the camera's sensitive 12G SDI port via the signal wire which is the center pin of the SDI cable.
