12G HD-SDI 101 • Setup Guide
Introduction
This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer
to set up and operate the Extron 12G HD-SDI 101, a cable
equalizer for SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, 6G-SDI, and 12G-SDI digital
video.
The Extron 12G HD-SDI 101 is a 1 input, 1 output HD-SDI signal
equalizer that can recondition and equalize digital video signals
up to 12G-SDI due to losses incurred from long cable runs. The
equalizer is typically placed at the end of a long cable run.
