Cobalt ROYAL 9915DA-1x16-12G 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD SDI 1x16 Reclocking Distribution Amplifier

Tabs

Overview

The Cobalt ROYAL 9915DA-1x16-12G 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD SDI 1x16 Reclocking Distribution Amplifier supports an input channel which is distributed to 16 DA outputs. The 9915DA-1x16-12G also has the option to support 1) SFP fiber Input Rx and 1) SFP fiber Output Tx.

As demand for 4K continues to rise, distribution of 12G-SDI signals within a rack-space becomes increasingly important. The 9915DA-1x16-12G allows for copper runs of up to 45 meters, reaching most equipment within a rack room or truck.

Up to 10 of the 9915DA-1x16-12G cards can be installed in a frame to provide 10 channels of input, with distribution to up to 160 coax Outputs. Full user DashBoard™ or Remote Control Panel remote control allows full status and control access locally or across a standard Ethernet network.

-DA-SFP Adds daughter card to support two externally-accessible SFP cages to the 9915DA 1x16-12G card.

Option -DA-SFP must be ordered at the time of purchase. Cannot be retrofitted by the factory or in the field. The 9915DA 1x16 card can only accept 1) Tx SFP and 1) Rx SFP. The SFPs can be 3G or 12G.

Note: When option -DA-SFP is included, a second input (fiber OE) is in turn added to the card. As such, this exposes a full 2x16 crosspoint that allows both the coax and fiber inputs to be independently and simultaneously routed to various card outputs.

Rear Module Options

Rear Modules

Rear I/O Module output designations here correlate to output numbers for four DA quadrants as shown in the card block diagram. As such, SDI outputs within a quadrant group can only be sourced from a particular input at one time (for example, if the card is set to feed SDI IN A to quadrant SDI Out (1-4), the rear module outputs 1 thru 4 will all output SDI IN A). Dissimilar inputs cannot be routed within a quadrant group (for example, SDI OUT 1 sourced from SDI IN A and SDI OUT 2 sourced from SDI IN B).

All four SDI IN A thru SDI IN D are funcational only when mated to quad input card models. Dual and single card models omit SDI IN D as NC and progressively omit SDI IN C and SDI IN B as NC.

NOTE: Applicable only where -SFP options are offered. SFP 1 and SFP 2 details show SFP receptacle cage is included factory-installed on rear module (plug-in SFP modules are available with respective options).

NOTE: MPN 1144 may have reduced receive performance due to the larger IO size.
