Note on the usage for installation
• Please read this user’s manual thoroughly prior to use the unit for its easy and
convenient use.
• Do not install the product where is in extremely low or high temperature conditions,
exposed to the rain, the snow, the vibration, the shock, the direct ray of sunlight, the
high humidity, and at the approach of oil and gas storage. Please avoid installation at
the places be exposed to radio waves (RF) or near the power lines too. It might cause
lower performance or the malfunction.
• Do not disassemble the products or put the foreign objects such as metals.
• The unit is subject to electric shock hazard. Be careful not to get an electric shock while
using the device.
• Only use safety approved power supply units with electromagnetic compatibility.
• Use this product only in the temperature range from -10°C to +50°C.
• Be careful of the connection of junction.
• Please check the cable insulating state before supplying the power.
• Please check the input power current and voltage before supplying the power.
• Make sure the power off prior to installation.
• Do not subject the product to the shock and vibration.
• Do not use the device when any smoke or smell is produced from device. It may cause
the fire. Please turn off or remove the power supply immediately and contact your
distributor to check the device properly.
• If the power does not turn On, please make sure the power cable is correctly
connected.
• Please Use the coaxial cables exclusively for HD-SDI signal transmission.
• Please refer to the table of transmission distance for each type of coaxial cable. It has a
different loop resistance depending on the cable quality.

1. Introduction
These devices are long distance HD-SDI signal boosters which consist of a transmitter and a
receiver for each model. They transmit HD-SDI signals up to 300m using RG59 Coaxial cable,
and the case of compact size comes into useful to save installation space. These devices are
very effective and economical solutions as they transmit HD-SDI signals in a long distance
without installing any repeaters and connecting cables on the middle of the transmission line.
1-1. Features
• Distance extension up to 410m (HD: 1.485G/Belden 1501A RG-59) without installing repeaters
• Easy for changing analogue system into HD-SDI by using the existing coaxial cable.
• Possibility to extend the transmission distance by using our repeater.
• Surge protection function
• Compact and light-weight case for easy installation.

Model: AB-HDB-65B DC 12V Only
1-2. Support Resolution
• Our HD-SDI transmission solutions conform to the SDI signal standards of the SMPTE(Society
of Motion Picture and Television Engineers).
• The SDI (Serial Digital Interface) is an innovative transmission system which can transmit
uncompressed video signals over a single cable. As SDI signals are digital, it is possible to
transmit signals over limitless distances without modification thanks to equalizing and re-
clocking feature at certain distance. Also, there is no aging or delay caused by compression.

# Please connect or extend the coaxial cables in the following way.
(Please use coaxial cable and BNC for HD-SDI signal)
BNC-M - BNC-JJ Connector - BNC-M
Î Make sure that the order of connection should be BNC-M - BNC-JJ Connector -BNC-M
as shown in the figure. If the cables are connected directly or the cable condition is bad,
the product does not operate properly or the transmission distance will be shorter. The
performance like transmission distance degrades if BNC or BNC-JJ connector for Analog
signal is used instead of connectors for HD-SDI signal.

• The distance between devices is always the same.
• It is recommended to use the recommended HD-SDI transmission distance stated above
because of the loss of the signals depend on the situations.
• Use BNC connectors with a low connection resistance.
• Avoid using excessive force when installing coaxial cable and BNC connection.
• Bind the coaxial cable with some space in order to prevent the cable from deforming by
tightening and vending the cable when installing in the back of the rack for in/output.
