A VME barrel shifter system for event reconstruction was developed for the SDC experiment. A special semicustom switch IC was also developed for it. This system takes in fragments of a physical event through its inputs, combines and reorganizes the fragments and produces a complete data set of the event from one of its outputs. The complete output data set for successive events will be delivered to waiting computers at its outputs. Up to 3 Gbps signal trains can be fed through the switch unit. This system is VME 6U compatible and the switching can be controlled by a commercially available VME module. Building blocks of this barrel shifter system are switch modules, optical to electrical and electrical to optical converter modules and a dedicated crate. The switch modules are a dual-4 x 4/quad-2 x 2 unit and an 8 x 8 unit, and they can be combined to deal with very large number of I/O channels.
