Frequently Asked Questions - AT-3GSDI-16 Atlona

What types of SDI signals does the AT-3GSDI-16 support?

It supports SD-SDI (270 Mbps), HD-SDI (1.485 Gbps), and 3G-SDI (2.97 Gbps) standards, including SMPTE 259M, 292M, 424M, and 425M.

How many outputs does it have?

It has 6 BNC outputs, allowing distribution of a single SDI source to up to six displays or devices simultaneously.

What is the maximum cable length supported?

With Belden 1694A cable, the maximum equalized length is up to 300 m (1000 ft) for SD, 150 m (500 ft) for HD, and 90 m (300 ft) for 3G signals.

Does it reclock the signal?

Yes, it features reclocking to regenerate the SDI signal timing, reducing jitter and allowing cascading for longer transmission distances.

What do the LED indicators mean?

The power/signal LED shows orange for power only and green when a valid signal is locked. The input LED indicates orange for 3G/HD-SDI and green for SD-SDI.

What power supply is needed?

It requires a 5V DC power supply with a minimum of 4A. The included inter-locked power supply ensures a secure connection.

Is it compatible with 4K resolutions?

No, the device supports up to 3G-SDI, which handles 1080p60 at maximum. For 4K, you would need a 6G or 12G SDI splitter.

How should I clean the unit?

Unplug the device and wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use cleaning fluids, aerosols, or immerse in water.

What is covered under warranty?

The product carries a 3-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. Warranty is void if damaged by accident, misuse, or unauthorized modification.

Can I cascade multiple units?

Yes, the reclocking feature allows you to connect the output of one splitter to the input of another for extended distribution without signal degradation.

INTRODUCTION:

The AT-3GSDI-16 1x6 3G/HD/SD-SDI Splitter with Reclocking receives one SDI input, perfectly duplicates it, and re-transmits six SDI outputs for real time multi-viewing. It is a reliable video device splitting a SDI, HD-SDI, or 3G-SDI video source to six SDI compliant displays at the same time.

PACKAGE CONTENTS:

• 1x AT-3GSDI-16
• 1x5V universal power supply
• 1x User's manual

FEATURES:

• 3G/HD/SD triple-rate distribution
• Four separately buffered and reclocked outputs
• Cable equalization (Beldon 1694A) 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 and 90m (300ft)
• Reclocking SDI signals for cascading and thus longer transmission
• Inter-locked power supply for better fixedness
