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

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. 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

Two or more RF-X units can be linked over single-mode fiber using the RF-X’s SFP port.

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.
