Crystal Vision has released Q-Down Mini – a new version of its popular broadcast down converter and distribution amplifier. Q-Down Mini is Crystal Vision’s first minibox and has been designed for attaching directly to the back of SD monitors in space-challenged environments with no spare rack space.
