500DA Serial Digital Reclocking Distribution Amplifier
1. OVERVIEW
The Evertz 500DA Reclocking Distribution Amplifier provides inexpensive distribution of your SMPTE
310M and SMPTE 259M serial digital video signal at rates of 19.4 Mb/s and 143 Mb/s to 540 Mb/s in
applications where a large quantity of outputs are required. The DA features an auto-equalized input with
nine reclocked outputs.
The 500DA has been designed for use as a SMPTE 310M (19.4 Mb/s), DVB-ASI or SMPTE 259M
distribution product. SMPTE 310M support is selected by setting a rate select jumper.
The 500DA is housed in the 3RU 500FR
Features:
• Normal mode for SMPTE 259M (143 to 360 Mb/s), SMPTE 344M (540 Mb/s) or DVB-ASI signals autodetects correct bitrate
• Jumper Selectable mode for SMPTE 310M (19.4 Mb/s)
• 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
Frame that will hold up to 16 modules.
