reporting capabilities
SHDSDA2S and SHDSDA2E Dual Channel Distribution Amplifiers, Rear Panel View
Module Description
The Dual Channel HD-SDI Distribution Amplifier
provides up to four electrical HD-SDI outputs from
each of two independent HD-SDI bitstream inputs.
Each electrical high definition serial digital (HD-
SDI) bitstream is input into the distribution amplifier
main board via a 75
Ω
BNC connector on a rear
panel interface card. Each HD-SDI input signal is
then equalised and re-clocked before being split to
provide four electrical HD-SDI outputs via 75
Ω
BNC connectors on the same interface card.
Two levels of monitoring sophistication are
available to the user. A standard operational level
is available on all boards, covering parameters
ranging from voltage supply status to the presence
of input signals. The optional enhanced monitoring
level provides a comprehensive analysis of the
incoming HD-SDI signals such as CRC error
detection,
line
standard
and
frame
rate
identification.
Detailed performance information can be obtained
via the RollCall interface.
WARNING…
THE FRONT PANEL OF THE UNIT MUST NOT
BE OPENED BY THE OPERATOR. ACCESS IS
ONLY PERMITTED TO FULLY QUALIFIED
INSTALLATION ENGINEERS.
It is recommended you write the System HD Order
Code of the board this manual accompanied in the
table on the following page. This will allow easy
identification of the monitoring level of the main
board when referring to this manual at a later date.
