Introduction

The Datavideo VP-901 is a 4K-compatible Distribution Amplifier supporting up to 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI video signals, it allows one source to be distributed and amplified up to eight outputs to multiple devices such as switchers, recorders and monitors.

The SDI input format is auto-detected and provides re-clocking and equalization to regenerate the signal at the output for extending distances between source and displays.

Features

• Supports 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI video with embedded Audio
- Driver-free, plug and play
• Automatic detection of the input formats.
- Equalization and Re-clocking ensure the stability of the SDI signal and longer-range transmission
- Provides LED indicators to indicate the SDI format of current SDI input source
- Its strong and rugged material makes it super sturdy and durable.

System Setup

Please follow following steps for setting your VP-901 system.

(1) Please turn off the power of all devices including monitor.
(2) Please use SDI cables to connect from the SDI OUT interfaces of the VP-901 to the devices with SDI IN interfaces. (Such as monitors or switchers).
(3) Please connect an SDI video-playing device to the SDI IN interface of the VP-901.
(4) Please connect a 12V DC power adapter to the 12V DC IN interface of the VP-901.
(5) Please turn on the power of the connected devices with SDI IN interfaces.
(6) Please turn on the power of the SDI video-playing source device.

Important Notices

Due to the fact that the ultra-high frequency characteristic and the low-jitter demand of the 12G SDI signal, if users want to achieve the highest performance, it is highly recommended that when one of the paired SDI interfaces is not in use, users must cover this unused SDI interface with a 75Ω terminator to prevent the “Impedance Mismatch” from happening.

There are 8 SDI output interfaces for the VP-901 which can be paired in 4 pairs including Pair A, Pair B, Pair C and Pair D.

Please see following table for the pairing details.

	Output Interfaces
Pair A	Output 1 & Output 2
Pair B	Output 3 & Output 4
Pair C	Output 5 & Output 6
Pair D	Output 7 & Output 8

Please pay attention that if you need to use the SDI output interface with even number (2/4/6/8), please be sure to connect these interfaces in pairs (A, B, C, D). If you need to use the SDI output interface with odd number (1/3/5/7), it is recommended that users should cover the unused SDI output interfaces with bundled 75Ω terminator. The bundled 75Ω 1/4W terminator is shown as following diagram.
