500DA

SDI Reclocking Distribution Amplifier

The Evertz 500DA Reclocking Distribution Amplifier provides inexpensive distribution of your SMPTE ST 310 and SMPTE ST 259 serial digital video signal at rates of 19.4Mb/s and 143Mb/s to 540Mb/s. Ideal in applications where a large quantity of outputs are required, the DA features an auto-equalized input with nine isolated reclocked outputs. The input also features an isolated return that is capacitively coupled to ground.

The 500DA has been designed for use as a SMPTE ST 310 (19.4Mb/s), DVB-ASI or SMPTE ST 259 distribution product. SMPTE ST 310 support is selected by setting a rate select jumper.

The 500DA is housed in the 3RU 500FR Exponent frame that will hold up to 16 modules.

Features

  • Normal mode for SMPTE ST 259 (143 to 540Mb/s) or DVB/ASI signals - auto detects correct bitrate
  • Jumper selectable mode for SMPTE ST 310 (19.4Mb/s)
  • Fully hot-swappable from front of frame with no BNC disconnect required
  • Independent isolated output drivers to ensure no cross channel loading effects (i.e. no need to terminate unused outputs)
  • Outputs maintain polarity from input to output for DVB-ASI applications
  • Tally output on Frame Status bus upon loss of input signal for quality monitoring
  • VistaLINK® capable for remote monitoring via SNMP (using VistaLINK® PRO) when installed in 500FR frame with 500FC VistaLINK® Frame Controller
