Introduction

The 2041RDA Wideband Rear Reclocking Distribution Amplifier provides
high HDTV distribution density with eight non-inverting outputs. It has
auto-detect and reclocking capability at all SD (standard definition) and
HD (high definition) data rates. The reclocking circuit can be bypassed to
distribute compressed signals down to 4 Mbps. The 2041RDA can be
removed from the rear of the frame without powering down the frame
(hot-swappable).

The 2041RDA features include:

• Eight outputs

•Module is hot-swappable

•Automatic data rate detection

•Reclocks at 143 Mbps, 177 Mbps, 270 Mbps, 360 Mbps, or 1.5 Gbps

•Distributes transport streams in bypass mode

•Auto-equalizing up to 100 meters for reclocked HD video or a bypassed
carrier and 300 meters for reclocked SD video

• Supports networked control and monitoring
