The Cobalt® ROYAL 9915DA-2×16-XPT-12G 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD Dual-Channel Multi-Rate Reclocking DA with x4 Output Crosspoint supports two input channels which can be crosspoint-routed to up to 16 DA outputs.
As demand for 4K continues to rise, distribution of 12G-SDI signals within a rackspace becomes increasingly important. The 9915DA allows for copper runs of up to 45 meters, reaching most equipment within a rack room or truck. For longer runs, the optional optical inputs and outputs allow the 9915DA to connect distribution from zones of much greater distances.
The extremely flexible crosspoint (which is user-configurable via DashBoardTM GUI remote control) allows dual 1×8, single 1×16 and other routing possibilities. Any of the two input channels can be distributed or duplicated across four groups of 1×4 DAs. The dual-input capacity provides a one-card solution for distribution of 8K quad-link content over 12G-SDI interfaces. Optional SFP Rx / Tx cages for fiber interfacing. A failover function allows going to secondary backup inputs should the primary input lose lock.
Up to 10 of the 9915DA-2×16-XPT-12G cards can be installed in a frame to provide 20 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.

Diagrams
Block Diagram
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.
