INTRODUCTION

The VDA-106-3GS is a compact and reliable distribution amplifier which accepts a single SDI input and provides six identical outputs. All embedded data is passed transparently. Signals are reclocked and cable equalization is provided to support long cable runs. The VDA-106-3GS is useful for providing video to multiple destinations (recorders, displays, encoders) from a single video source.

FEATURES

• 3G/HD/SD serial digital distribution
- Six separately buffered and reclocked outputs
- Cable equalization and signal retiming
- Dual color LED indication of input lock and rate
• Passes all ancillary data
- Provides automatic input cable equalization up to 300m (1000ft)@SD, 150m (500ft)@HD/3G

PACKAGE CONTENTS

• 1 x VDA-106-3GS
• 1 x 5V power adapter
