1. Introduction

2. Features

The VDA-104-3GS-2 receives one SDI input, perfectly duplicates it, and re-transmits four SDI

outputs for real time multi-viewing. It is a reliable video device splitting a SDI, HD-SDI, or 3G-SDI

video source to four SDI compliant displays at the same time. Besides, built-in re-clocking &

equalization features provide the best performance for SDI distribution ampliﬁer.

• 3G/HD/SD triple-rate distribution

• Four separately buffered and re-clocked outputs

• Supported SDI format

»3G-SDI (SMPTE 424M, 425M level A,B up to 2.97 Gbps)

»HD-SDI (SMPTE 292M, 296M up to 1.485 Gbps)

»SD-SDI (SMPTE 259M, up to 270 Mbps)

• Cable equalization (Belden 1694A) and signal retiming

• Video bandwidth: 2.97Gbps, 2.97/1.001Gbps

• Automatic detection of 3G/HD/SD-SDI signals

• Dual color LED indication of input lock and rate

• Passes all ancillary data

• Provides automatic cable equalization

»[3G-SDI]* >120m (394ft)

»[HD-SDI] >200m (656ft)

»[SD-SDI] >300m (984ft)

• Re-clocks SDI signals for cascading and thus longer transmission

• Inter-locked power supply for better ﬁxedness

Note: The cable length depends on the characteristics and quality of the cables.
