500DA2Q-3G 3G/HD/SD-SDI Dual Reclocking Distribution Amplifier
1. OVERVIEW
The 500DA2Q-3G Dual 3G/HD/SD-SDI Reclocking Distribution Amplifier provides the highest density DA
in the industry allowing up to 32-3Gb/s, HD-SDI or SD-SDI Distribution amplifiers in a 3RU rack space.
This module provides inexpensive distribution of your SMPTE 424M (3Gb/s), SMPTE 292M (1.5Gb/s),
SMPTE 259M (270Mb/s), DVB-ASI or SMPTE 310M (19.4Mb/s) or any other SDI signal within the
143Mb/s to 1.5Gb/s range.
The 500DA2Q-3G features two auto-equalized inputs and can be individually set via jumpers for either
reclocking or non-reclocking.
The 500DA2Q-3G is housed in the 500FR exponent frame that will hold up to 16 modules.
Features:
•
Normal reclocked mode for SMPTE 424M (3Gb/s), SMPTE 292M (1.5Gb/s) and SMPTE 259M
(270Mb/s)
•
Jumper selectable non-reclocked mode for all other SMPTE 344M, SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 310M and
DVB-ASI data rates
•
Fully hot-swappable from front of frame with no BNC disconnect required
•
Independent isolated output drivers to ensure no cross channel loading effects (i.e. no need to
terminate unused outputs)
•
Outputs maintain polarity from input to output for DVB-ASI applications
•
Tally output on Frame Status bus upon loss of input signal for quality monitoring
