The revolutionary idea behind Bittree's Integrated Patchbays is to combine the three main patching requirements - audio, video and data - into a single integrated unit.
Our Integrated patchbays therefore have the same professional quality and finish as the rest of our line, avoiding the loose pieces and sloppy look of modular patchbays offered by other companies.
Integrated patchbays are ideal for environments such as edit rooms and professional home studios that have multiple types of patching requirements (i.e., audio, video and data), but that have a minimal number of patching requirements. They are a cost-effective way to have the convenience, functionality and reliability of a multiple-patch system, without having to purchase three separate patchbays.
