RF-X - Overview

Stronger Wireless Signal for Production - From Sports & Concerts to Cine Productions, RF-X Thrives in Chaotic RF Environments!

Looking for even more robust signal connection when in the most challenging RF environments? Try using Teradek's RF-X auto-switcher, built specifically for Teradek Bolt RXs to secure the best possible signal every time.

Built For the Toughest RF Environments
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.

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.

RF-X was born for:

• Events and Stadiums
• Steadicam or other long tracking shots
• Car scenes
• Hospital, Military, or Airport Locations
• Even simple set ups with known RF interference

Increase the Coverage of Your Production
Daisy chain two or more RF-X units over an SDI Fiber SFP module. With support for long runs and immunity to electrical interference, SDI fiber extends the reliable signal path.

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.
