Scope of this Operation Manual
This is the operation manual for the System HD Single Channel Distribution Amplifier Module. It covers the
modules ordered under the following codes :
SHDSDA1S-S1 – Standard 8 output distribution amplifier with basic reporting.
SHDSDA1E-S1 – 8 output distribution amplifier with enhanced reporting
SHDSDA1S-S1 and SHDSDA1E-S1 Distribution Amplifier, Rear Panel View
Module Description
The Eight Output HD-SDI Distribution Amplifier
provides eight reclocked HD-SDI outputs from a
single HD-SDI input.
The electrical high definition serial digital (HD-SDI)
bitstream is input into the distribution amplifier main
board via a 75Ω BNC connector on a rear panel
interface card. The HD-SDI input signal is then
equalised and re-clocked before being split to
provide eight identical coaxial HD-SDI outputs for
the user via 75Ω BNC connectors on the backpanel
of the interface card.
Detailed performance information can be obtained
via the RollCall interface.
Two levels of monitoring sophistication are
available to the user. A standard operational level
is available on all boards, covering parameters
ranging from voltage supply status to the presence
of an input signal. The optional enhanced
monitoring level provides a comprehensive
analysis of the incoming HD-SDI signal such as
CRC error detection, line standard and frame rate
identification.
WARNING…
THE FRONT PANEL OF THE UNIT MUST NOT
BE OPENED BY THE OPERATOR. ACCESS IS
ONLY PERMITTED TO FULLY QUALIFIED
INSTALLATION ENGINEERS.
It is recommended that a record is made of the
System HD Order Code for the module in the table
on the following page. This will allow easy
identification of the monitoring level of the main
board when referring to this manual at a later date.
