The best there is

Just great and super high quality! We use them to take a main and backup vmix output to the 2 sdi in and out to 2 liveu and recorders one fails simply hit the switch and now all on other unit with no loss. Instant failover. This is a must if you are a professional! Nothing comes close

Works great

Yes, in 2x4 mode the Freakshow HD 2x4 12G-SDI Switchable Reclocking Distribution Amplifier (Coaxial Connector) will take the A input and distribute to output 1 and 2. The B input will distribute to output 3 and 4.
