The simplest solution to the divider and clock shaper is perhaps to use an LTC6954. The LTC6954 offers PECL/CMOS and LVDS outputs together with a low jitter (sub ps) programmable (SPI) divider (1-63).A couple of coax relays like those from Dow Key microwave together with some hardline and a couple of splitters could be used to implement the signal switching.
