Tabs

Overview

The Cobalt ROYAL 9910DA-4Q-3G-RCK 3G/HD/SD/ASI Quad-Channel Multi-Rate Reclocking DA with x4 Output Crosspoint supports four input channels which can be crosspoint-routed to any of 16 DA outputs. The 9910DA-4Q-3G-RCK is multi-rate with user enable/disable reclocking, and supports SDI and ASI/DVB on all inputs and outputs with non-inverting outputs. The quad-input capacity provides a one-card solution for distribution of 3G quadrant-division content over 3G/HD/SD-SDI interfaces.

The extremely flexible crosspoint (which is user-configurable via DashBoard™ GUI remote control) allows quad 1x4, dual 1x8, single 1x16 and other routing possibilities. Any of the four input channels can be distributed or duplicated across four groups of 1x4 DAs, and any of the four inputs can be set to use an alternate failover input upon loss of signal.

Excellent receive performance allows receive EQ for up to 120m 3G and 160m HD cable length (1694A). Card edge and DashBoard™ remote status monitoring indicates input lock for each input channel. Up to 10 of the 9910DA-4Q-3G-RCK cards can be installed in a frame to provide 40 channels of input, with distribution to up to 160 outputs.

Full user DashBoard™ or Remote Control Panel remote control allows full status and control access locally or across a standard Ethernet network.

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 (for example, SDI OUT 3 in diagrams below is tied to (driven from) DA quadrant "SDI Out (1-4)" in the block diagram; SDI OUT 5 in diagrams below is tied to (driven from) DA quadrant "SDI Out (5-8)" in the 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).

Note: Connector numbers with asterisks (*) here denote the connector generic designation number screened on the rear module PCB.
