The Cobalt® 9004 Dual-Channel 3G/HD/SD Distribution Amplifier (Non-Reclocking) is a dual multi-rate SDI distribution amplifier capable of equalizing 3G, HD, and SD signals. Excellent receiver EQ performance allows for up to 160m cable lengths for HD signals.
The 9004 can be set up as either a single-channel 1:8, dual-channel 1:4, or 1:8 with failsafe using DashBoard™ remote control software or card-edge switches. In failsafe mode, the card automatically switches to the secondary input if the primary input is lost.
