The MDA 4V HD-SDI is a compact one input, four output distribution
amplifier for SDI and multi-rate HD-SDI serial digital video signals up to

2.97 Gbps. It automatically recognizes and adapts to common serial
digital video signals that comply with SMPTE and ITU standards, including
SMPTE 259M, 292M, and 424M, and ITU-R.BT601 and BT.1120. The
MDA 4V HD-SDI is ideal for use in broadcast and video production
facilities, medical facilities, rental and staging, and other applications
requiring a single serial digital video source to be sent to up to four
displays at the same time.

The MDA 4V HD-SDI features automatic input equalization up to 1000
feet (300m) for all SDI and HD-SDI data rates from 19 Mbps to 2.97
Gbps. Output reclocking is provided for recognized SDI and HD-SDI
standard data rates, including 270 Mbps, 1.485 Gbps, and 2.97 Gbps.
A convenient front panel data rate indicator allows visual confirmation of
input data rates for quick visual identification of the incoming digital
video signal.

Housed in a rack-mountable 1U, one-quarter rack width metal enclosure,
the MDA 4V HD-SDI is ideal for easy integration into both new and
existing A/V systems, including broadcast and production facilities,
command and control centers, and medical imaging facilities.
