The following accessories, which are available from Kramer, can enhance implementation of your distributor.
For information regarding cables and additional accessories, contact your Kramer dealer.
SD-7108
- an adjustment-free, equalized, reclocking, multi-standard
Serial Video Distribution Amplifier
.
A parallel ECL reclocked output is also provided. The machine provides automatic equalization for
losses on 75-ohm co-axial cable (up to hundreds of meters of cable - depending on the cable and the
video standard), and reclocks the output to provide 8 low-jitter, serial digital outputs. Standard
recognition is automatic, and front-panel LEDs indicate the detected standard. 4f
sc
PAL, 4f
sc
NTSC,
Component 4:2:2, and high-definition 16:9 (wide-screen) standards are all recognized. The user may
adjust the serial video output level. The
CARRIER
LED indicates the detection of a signal at the input,
and the
SYNC
LED shows that horizontal synchronization has been detected. The machine operates for
both 10-bit and 8-bit video, automatically recognizing the word length.

7208
- an adjustment-free, reclocking, multi-standard
Serializer/SDI Distribution Amplifier
. The
machine embeds the clock and parallel data into an NRZI serial stream according to the SMPTE 259M
standard and reclocks the output to provide 8 low-jitter, serial digital outputs. Standard recognition is
automatic. A front panel LED indicates locking to the incoming signal. The user may adjust the serial
video output level. The machine operates for both 10-bit and 8-bit video, automatically recognizing the
word length.
SD-7401
- a multi-standard, adjustment-free digital to analog converter designed to accept one SDI
(4:4:2 serial digital video) input, and provide one analog output in four common signal formats. The
SDI input is equalized and reclocked, and the output can be set for composite video, S-video (Y/C),
RGsB, or Y, R-Y, B-Y. The
SD-7401
also has an internal 75% color bar generator, whose timing is
based on the SDI input. The
SD-7401
encodes 525 line signals to NTSC-M and 625 lines to PAL-B.
Versions designed for other standards such as SECAM, PAL-M, and NTSC 4.43 are available by special
request. When encoding NTSC, the unit may be programmed with or without a 7.5 IRE setup (pedestal).
