Quick Installation Guide
Overview
The 12G-SDI 1x8 Splitter, 4K/60 (500728) allows one (1) 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI
source to be distributed and amplified to up to eight (8) 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI
displays. The splitter supports up to 4K (3840 X 2160) video and HD audio, including
480i (SD-SDI), 720p/1080i (HD-SDI), 1080p (3G-SDI), 4K/30 (6G-SDI) and 4K/60
(12G-SDI). The device automatically detects the 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI signal and re-
clocks and regenerates the signal at the output for extending distances between source
and displays. Additionally, all connectors are on the rear panel for neater cabling.
Applications
Applications include video production, broadcasting, outside broadcasting vehicle, SDI
camcorder, studio-to-studio, post-production, live events, medical imaging display,
mobile video.
Installation
1. Identify the connectors on the 12G-SDI 1x8 Splitter as indicated on the
product labels above.
2. Connect the source to the 12G-SDI Input of the splitter.
3. Connect up to eight (8) display(s) to the 12G-SDI Outputs of the splitter.

4. Connect the 5 VDC power supply to the splitter first, and then plug the power
supply into an AC power outlet. If power is present, the power LED of the
splitter will be illuminated.
Note:Power ON the 12G-SDI 1x8 Splitter, 4K/60 only after all connections are
made.
5. Power the equipment and verify the image quality.
6. The appropriate Data Rate LED will be ON to show the input signal rate speed
and that the signal is locked.
7. The following diagram shows the final configuration.
Output Pairing
The outputs of this device work in pairs. Due to the high frequency and low jitter
requirement for 12G-SDI signals, to have the best performance it is strongly
recommended to use a 75ohm terminator if a paired SDI output port is not in use.
Please see the following table for the 12G-SDI output pairing:
Output Port
Pair A
Output 1 & 2
Pair B
Output 3 & 4
Pair C
Output 5 & 6
Pair D
Output 7 & 8
