Before You Begin
Your QRA-8808 is an 3G/HD/SD Multi-Definition SDI distribution amplifier, capable of equalizing and reclocking
all common serial digital signals. The LED indicator for each channel at the front of the card identifies the presence
of incoming video, simplifying system troubleshooting. Each QRA-8808 equalizes the incoming SDI signal, which
is then reclocked, with automatic rate detection for all popular data rates.
Features
The QRA-8808 includes the following features:
• Equalizes and reclocks SDI signals of 270Mbps, 1.485Gbps, and 2.97Gbps
• Accepts DVB-ASI (EN 50083-9), and SMPTE 310 signals
• Operates as a dual 1x4 + dual 1x3
• Configure and monitor via DashBoard
• Automatic detection of incoming data rate
• Automatically mutes the channel output when a loss of input occurs
• Automatically performs a fail-over switch between two SDI inputs
• LED indicator for signal presence
• Excellent input and output return loss
• Fits DFR-8321, OG3-FR, and OGX-FR series frames
• Fully compliant with openGear specifications
• 5 year transferable warranty

This chapter provides instructions for installing the rear module for your QRA-8808, installing the card in the
frame, cabling details, and how to upgrade the software on your card(s).
Before You Begin
Before proceeding with the instructions in this chapter, ensure that your openGear frame is properly installed
according to the instructions in its manual.
Static Discharge
Throughout this chapter, please heed the following cautionary note:
Unpacking
Unpack each card you received from the shipping container and ensure that all items are included. If any items are
missing or damaged, contact your sales representative or Ross Video directly.
Installing the QRA-8808
The QRA-8808 can be installed in the DFR-8321, the OG3-FR, and the OGX-FR series frames using the supported
rear module.
Supported Rear
The 8320AR-302 Full Rear Module is required.
Installing a Card
You must first install the rear module in the frame and then install the card in the appropriate slot within an
openGear frame. This section outlines how to perform both tasks.
To install the rear module in the openGear frame
1. Ensure that the frame is properly installed according to the instructions in its manual.
2. On the rear of the frame, locate the card frame slot.
3. Remove the Blank Plate from the rear of the slot you have chosen for card installation.
4. Seat the bottom of the rear module in the seating slot at the base of the frame’s back plane. (Figure 4.1)
5. Align the top hole of the rear module with the screw hole on the top edge of the frame back plane.(Figure 4.1)
6. Using a Phillips screwdriver and the supplied screw, fasten the rear module to the back plane. Do not
over-tighten.
ESD Susceptibility — Static discharge can cause serious damage to sensitive semiconductor
devices. Avoid handling circuit boards in high static environments such as carpeted areas and when
synthetic fiber clothing is worn. Always exercise proper grounding precautions when working on circuit
boards and related equipment.
Notice — Ensure that you install the QRA-8808 using the supported rear module listed below.
Installing the QRA-8808 with an unsupported rear module can damage the card, the rear module, or
both.

16 • Physical Installation QRA-8808 User Guide (v5.0)
Figure 4.1 Rear Module Installation in an OG3-FR Series Frame (Cards not shown)
7. Remove the wax sheet from the back of the Rear Module Label.
8. Affix the supplied Rear Module Label to the BNC area of the Rear Module.
9. Ensure proper frame cooling and ventilation by covering all rear frame slots with rear modules or blank metal
plates.
To install the card in the openGear frame
1. Locate the rear module you installed in “To install the rear module in the openGear frame” on page 15.
2. Hold the card by the edges and carefully align the card edges with the slots in the frame.
3. Fully insert the card into the frame until the rear connection plugs are properly seated on the midplane and rear
module.
Cabling
The 8320AR-302 Full Rear Module is required. Each rear module occupies two slots and accommodates one card.
This rear module provides one SDI input and four SDI outputs for Channel A, one SDI input and four SDI outputs
for Channel B, one SDI input and three SDI outputs for Channel C, and one SDI input and three SDI outputs for
Channel D via HD-BNC connections. (Figure 4.2)

QRA-8808 User Guide (v5.0) Configuration • 19
Configuration
This chapter briefly outlines how to configure the QRA-8808 using the options available in DashBoard.
Enabling the Failover Feature
The failover feature enables the QRA-8808 to use a backup input source when the primary input source is lost and
the backup input is stable for at least 3 seconds. Once the QRA-8808 determines that the primary input source is
stable for at least 3 seconds, it automatically switches back to the primary source. The Input field on the Signal tab
reports when the backup source is in use for each channel.
The source assignments are fixed for each channel as follows:
• Channel A — IN 1 is the primary input source and IN 2 is the backup source.
• Channel B — IN 2 is the primary input source and IN 1 is the backup source.
• Channel C — IN 3 is the primary input source and IN 4 is the backup source.
• Channel D — IN 4 is the primary input source and IN 3 is the backup source.
To enable the failover feature
1. From the Device View, select the Setup tab.
2. Select the Enable Failover box for the channel.
The box displays a check-mark.
Configuring the Equalizer for a Channel
You can choose to enable or bypass the equalizer for each channel. The equalizer enables the card to compensate for
noise and signal losses inherent in long coaxial cable runs. Refer to the chapter “Technical Specifications” on
page 27 for information on the cable equalization specifications.
You must bypass the equalizer when using signals of less than 125Mbps (such as SMPTE 310 signals). For
signals 125Mbps and greater (such as SDI signals), you must enable the equalizer.

20 • Configuration QRA-8808 User Guide (v5.0)
To enable the equalizer
1. From the Device View, select the Setup tab.
2. Select the Enable Equalizer box for the channel.
The box displays a check-mark.
To bypass the equalizer
1. From the Device View, select the Setup tab.
2. Select the Enable Equalizer box for the channel to clear the box contents.
Configuring the Reclocker for a Channel
This section summarizes how to enable the reclocker and select a data rate for the reclocker. This enables the card to
reclock to a specific data rate or automatically detects and reclocks the data rate. It also sets the input signal rate
type that the QRA-8808 will process.
The reclocker for each channel is enabled by default.
To enable the reclocker
1. From the Device View, select the Setup tab.
2. Select the Enable Reclocker box for the channel.
The box displays a check-mark.
3. Use the Reclocker Rate menu to select a data rate for the reclocker. Choose from the following:
•Auto — The QRA-8808 reclocks at the detected rate automatically.
•270 Mbps — The QRA-8808 is set to reclock at 270Mbps only.
•1.5 Gbps — The QRA-8808 is set to reclock at 1.485Gbps only.
•3.0 Gbps — The QRA-8808 is set to reclock at 2.97Gbps only.
To bypass the reclocker
You must bypass the reclocker when using DVB-ASI or SMPTE 310 signals.
1. From the Device View, select the Setup tab.
2. Select the Enable Reclocker box for the channel to clear the box contents.
Loss of Input
When enabled, this feature will indicate an alarm condition (red) in the Channel Status field of the Signal tab. This
occurs if the QRA-8808 does not detect a valid input signal for that channel. To verify which BNC to troubleshoot,
refer to the rear module labeling or the Input BNC status field in the Setup tab.
To enable an alarm for a loss of input
1. From the Device View, select the Alarms tab.
2. Select the Alarm on Loss of Input box for the channel.
The box displays a check-mark.
