Overview
The TEA-8207 is a three channel Multi-Definition SDI distribution amplifier, capable of
equalizing all common serial digital signals. Support for both standard-definition and
high-definition signals makes the TEA-8207 an extremely versatile SDI distribution amplifier.
Each channel of the TEA-8207 equalizes the incoming SDI signal, compensating for up to 300m
of cable at 270Mbps and over 120m of cable at 1.485Gbps. One SDI channel provides 3 outputs,
and the two other SDI channels provide 2 outputs each. Special attention has been taken to ensure
the SDI outputs faithfully reproduce the incoming signals, with excellent jitter and return loss
specifications.
LED indicators at the front of the card identify the presence of incoming video, simplifying
system troubleshooting.
