1 HDA Single/Dual 3 Gbps HD-SDI Distribution Amplifiers
1.1 Introduction
The HDA-1911/1931 is a 3Gbps HD-SDI video DA supporting a variety of compressed and uncompressed serial
digital video signals. The HDA-1911/1931 provides 9 reclocked outputs with automatic equalization for up to 140
meters of cable (Belden 1694A) at 1.485 Gbps and up to 90 meters at 2.97 Gbps. The HDA-1931 also offers the
added benefit of implementing a dual 1x4 amplifier instead of a single 1x9.
When longer cable lengths are required, the HDA-1911/1931 are ideal since they can natively offer fiber connectivity.
Additional protection for critical applications is provided by an optional protection bypass relay available on selected
rears.
The HDA-1911/1931 will also support DVB-ASI on selected outputs.
