8945EDA SD/HD Equalizing Distribution Amplifier
Key Features
Eight output SD-SDI or HD-SDI equalizing•
distribution amplifier
100% DVB ASI compliant•
Remote control and monitoring via•
Ethernet frame interface
Applications
Distributing HD signals or supporting•
SD/HD rate-agile installations
Installations that will upgrade to HD•
Distribution of non-standard wideband•
signals
The 8945EDA module is a single SD/HD
equalizing distribution amplifier. It provides
eight outputs and can equalize up to 125
meters of Belden 1694A cable for HD-SDI.
It can be used to distribute either SD-SDI
or HD-SDI, making it ideal for mixed-format
applications or installations where an upgrade
is planned.
