Switchblade LPU2 with 4x SDI and 4x HDMI inputs

The ultimate 8-channel vMix switcher solution for studio or remote production

The LPU2 is a compact, rackmount video switcher based on vMix live production software. Building off the success of Switchblade's popular vMix turnkey systems, including the LPU4 and Turbo, the LPU2 packs all the essential features and I/O for running multi-camera, multi-source live broadcasts in any location.

Today's live events rely increasingly on a combination of traditional physical inputs like SDI and HDMI, as well as IP sources, including NDI and SRT. The LPU2 handles both with equal ease, packing four (4) 3G-SDI inputs, four (4) HDMI inputs, a separate SDI/HDMI output, and vMix's native support for NDI, NDI|HX, SRT, RTMP, and RTSP network video sources.

The compact, short-depth 2U chassis makes this tiny rack-mountable platform ideal for smaller studio rack spaces and transportable flypacks. Even setups without rack cabinets will find its diminutive size small enough to use on top of a desk.
