Key Features

•Supports SD/HD/3G-SDI rates up to 1080p

•Auto or manual input format selection

•Fiber-ready for fiber optic submodule option for receiving or distributing over single-mode fiber

The 8943RDA-DFR is a fiber-ready SD/ HD/3G-SDI reclocking DA with two dedicated electrical inputs and seven reclocked electrical outputs (in four output pairs). An optional fiber optic submodule can be installed to provide additional fiber optic inputs and outputs.

The module can equalize up to 90 meters for input 1 (J10) and 100 meters for input 2 (J8) of Belden 1694A cable for HD/3G-SDI. It can distribute either HD/3G-SDI or SD-SDI, making it ideal for mixed format applications or installations where an upgrade to HD/3G is planned. It is also completely DVB ASI compliant.

With its fiber-ready architecture, the 8943RDA-DFR can be configured as a fiber receiver, providing two fiber optic inputs that can be mapped to feed seven electrical outputs (in output pairs). The two fiber optic inputs are both active along with the dedicated electrical inputs. This makes the module ideal where redundant feeds are used.

Using the dual transmitter fiber option, this module can distribute two additional fiber outputs as well as the seven electrical outputs (in output pairs) allowing it to feed both local and remote locations simultaneously. This can also provide redundant fiber feeds.

With the transceiver option, the 8943RDADFR makes a flexible DA ready for either fiber in or fiber out applications. The fiber option makes it ideal for receiving signals from distant downlinks or transmitting to remote uplinks.

•Output jitter (for inputs conforming to SMPTE 259M and 292M standards):

<0.2 UI >100 kHz for 3G <0.2 UI >100 kHz for HD

<1.0 UI 10 Hz – 100 kHz for HD <0.2 UI 10 Hz – up for SD

DVB ASI: Seven non-inverted outputs (in output pairs)

Refer to the configuration block diagrams on the next page for illustrations of the mulitple uses for the 8943RDA-DFR with the available fiber optic submodule options. Note that all module inputs and outputs can be active at the same time and input to output mapping can be set as desired in configuration.

All parameters can be configured directly from the card edge or via a standard HTML Web browser when the 8900NET (Net Card) Network Interface module has been installed. The module operation and configuration, as well as the signal presence and format can be monitored using industry standard SNMP protocol via the 8900NET (Net Card) module.

Ordering Information

This module can be mounted in a GeckoFlex frame but not in other 8900 series frames including Gecko-A or Gecko-V frames.
