INTRODUCTION:
The AT-3GSDI-16 1x6 3G/HD/SD-SDI Splitter with Reclocking 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.
PACKAGE CONTENTS:
● 1x AT-3GSDI-16
● 1x 5V power supply unit
● 1x User's manual
FEATURES:
● 3G/HD/SD triple-rate distribution
● Four separately buffered and reclocked outputs
● Cable equalization (Beldon 1694A) and signal retiming
● Dual color LED indication of input lock and rate
● Passes all ancillary data
● Provides automatic input cable equalization up to 300m (1000ft)@SD, 150m (500ft)@HD and 90m (300ft)
● Reclocking SDI signals for cascading and thus longer transmission
● Inter-locked power supply for better xedness
