Double the capacity. Double the impact.
When your production outgrows a single-card setup, the Q8 PB42 is ready for you. Designed for mid-to-large-scale live events, broadcast environments, and complex AV installations, it delivers 32 inputs and 8 outputs — all through HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.2, and 12G-SDI. More sources. More destinations. The same zero-compromise performance. And like every Q8, it ships in a protective flight case, fully configured and ready to go.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Q8 PB42 is a professional seamless switcher supporting 32 inputs and 8 outputs across HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.2, and 12G-SDI. Built for mid-to-large-scale live events and broadcast environments, it doubles the input capacity of the PB21 while maintaining the same zero-compromise signal performance. Modular card architecture, fiber output, and rugged flight case included.
WHY Q8 PB42
More power, same precision
The Q8 PB42 is built for productions that demand more — more sources, more outputs, more flexibility. With twice the input capacity of the PB21, it handles the complexity of large-scale shows without adding complexity for your operators.
- 32 inputs, zero compromises. Handle a full roster of cameras, media servers, laptops, and playback systems simultaneously — all in HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.2, or 12G-SDI.
- 8 flexible outputs. Route your signal to eight destinations at once — screens, recording feeds, broadcast outputs, and more — with full fiber distribution capability built in.
- Modular by design. The Q8’s plug-in card system means you can expand, reconfigure, or future-proof your setup without ever replacing the main unit.
- Fiber-ready from the start. Long-distance signal distribution is built in — ideal for large venues, touring productions, and multi-zone broadcast environments.
- Flight case included. Arrives fully configured in a rugged flight case. Unbox it on site and you’re ready to go — no assembly required.
