SW9016 Switcher - can I stack them?

In the past i have always used BLU,but am thinking about going GRN for our next job as the sw9106 looks interesting and I hate the look of the BLU-10 compaired to the jellyfish.

I have a requirement to have a YPbPr switcher. I see that the video bandwidth of the sw9016 is 150 MHz which I think should work for 1080i. My question is, if I stack 3 units, one for Y, one for Pb and one for Pr will I have sync problems and will it work?

Also, why don't they make this for the BLU?

No sync problems and they're designed to work exactly that way. Each 9088 can control two "switchers". One designated "A" and one "B". However, one "switcher" can be multiple 9016s. Just run the serial cable out of the 9088 into the first 9016, out of the first 9016 to the second 9016 etc. You can use two 9016s this way for s-vid, three for component, four or five for the various flavors of high-res, etc. Just set all of the 9016s to either "A" or "B". As long as they are all set the same, they'll all switch together and act like a single switcher.
