Before You Begin

Your QRA-8808 is an 3G/HD/SD Multi-Definition SDI distribution amplifier, capable of equalizing and reclocking 
all common serial digital signals. The LED indicator for each channel at the front of the card identifies the presence 
of incoming video, simplifying system troubleshooting. Each QRA-8808 equalizes the incoming SDI signal, which 
is then reclocked, with automatic rate detection for all popular data rates. 

Features

The QRA-8808 includes the following features: 

• Equalizes and reclocks SDI signals of 270Mbps, 1.485Gbps, and 2.97Gbps
• Accepts DVB-ASI (EN 50083-9), and SMPTE 310 signals
• Operates as a dual 1x4 + dual 1x3 
• Configure and monitor via DashBoard
• Automatic detection of incoming data rate
• Automatically mutes the channel output when a loss of input occurs
• Automatically performs a fail-over switch between two SDI inputs 
• LED indicator for signal presence
• Excellent input and output return loss 
• Fits DFR-8321, OG3-FR, and OGX-FR series frames
• Fully compliant with openGear specifications
• 5 year transferable warranty
