This 1x8 SDI distribution amplifier is provided for rental use, offering reliable signal distribution for SD-, HD-, and 3G-SDI workflows. The unit auto-detects the input format, re-clocks the signal to restore timing, and provides eight outputs that match the incoming SDI video automatically, simplifying multi-monitor or multi-recorder setups on location.

Key Features

• Single SDI input with auto-detection, supports SD-, HD-, and 3G-SDI.
• Eight SDI outputs that automatically match the input format for consistent distribution.
• Re-clocking to reduce jitter and improve signal integrity over long runs.
• Wide format support, including NTSC, PAL, 720p, 1080i, 1080PsF, 1080p, 2K p, and 2K PsF.
• Broad SDI compliance with SMPTE 259M, 292M, 296M, 372M, and 425M standards.
