This ML-1x6 receives one SDI input, perfectly duplicates it, and re-transmits six SDI outputs for real time
multi-viewing. It is a reliable video device splitting a SDI, HD-SDI, or 3G-SDI video source to six SDI compliant
displays at the same time.
Features
3G/HD/SD triple-rate distribution
Six separately buffered and reclocked outputs
Cable equalization (Beldon 1694A) and signal retiming
Dual color LED indication of input lock and rate
Pass all ancillary data
Provides automatic input cable equalization up to 300m (1000ft)@SD, 150m (500ft)@HD/3G
Reclocking SDI signals for cascading and thus longer transmission
Inter-locked power supply for better fixedness
