Overview

DETOUR is a is a 12G capable point of use distribution amplifier with relay bypass. The bypass relay allows the 
unit to be used as a failsafe device to provide guaranteed on-air service in the case of a power failure.

DETOUR provides four active SDI outputs. This adds cable reach, signal conditioning and re-timing to MADI, 
SD-SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI and UHD-SDI signals.

A micro USB port provides an additional power source connection and may be configured as the alarm state 
detection method.   This is particularly useful when coupled with an Ultrix router. If Ultrix loses power, then the 
USB connection between Ultrix and DETOUR can trigger the bypass state.

Four LED indicators show the alarm state, signal presence, USB power and main external power.
