Switchblade LPU4 Elite 4U Rackmount vMix Pro Production System

Elite is the upper tier of the LPU4 family: the same short-depth 4U chassis, configured for 12G-SDI input and output or for 24 channels of 3G-SDI, and licensed for vMix 4K or vMix Pro rather than the base edition. It is the build Switchblade points at productions that have outgrown a 16-channel switcher.

The R variant adds replay, and the 24-channel build is the widest 3G-SDI input count in the LPU4 range; one configuration ships with the VMC24 control surface in the box, which is the 48-channel panel, so a rack and a working operator position arrive as one order. A separate Bluefish444 line swaps in that card's IP video I/O, running an 8-channel bidirectional SDI build or a 6-channel SMPTE ST 2110 build with 2 channels of SDI I/O alongside it, with an Enterprise tier of the 8-channel SDI build for larger deployments. Every Switchblade system includes its vMix licence outright, with no subscription.
