SRA-8201A
HD/SD SDI Distribution Amplifier
Our best HD/SD 1x8 / 1x4 SDI distribution amplifier for all standard and high-definition SDI signals.

The SRA-8201A is an HD/SD SDI distribution amplifier, capable of equalizing and reclocking all common serial digital signals. With support for both standard-definition and high-definition signals, the SRA-8201A is the ideal universal SDI distribution amplifier.

The SRA-8201A equalizes the incoming SDI signal, compensating for up to 300m of cable at 270Mb/s and up to 100m of cable at 1.485Gb/s. The signal is then reclocked, with automatic rate detection for all popular data rates. The unit’s SDI outputs faithfully reproduce the incoming signal, with excellent jitter and return loss specifications.

The SRA-8201A operates as one in by eight out in the DFR-8310 series frame. In the DFR-8320 series frame the SRA-8201A can be operated as the traditional one in, eight out or it can be configured as an independent one in four out using the split rear module configuration available in the DFR-8320 series frame. In the one by four configuration the SRA-8201A outputs are non-inverting making it an excellent ASI distribution amplifier.
