TRA-8206
Triple Serial MD-SDI Reclocking Amplifier
Three independent channels of SDI distribution for Standard and High-Definition SDI signals.

The TRA-8206 is a three channel Multi-Definition SDI distribution amplifier, capable of equalizing and reclocking all common serial digital signals. Support for both standard-definition and high-definition signals makes the TRA-8206 a universal SDI distribution amplifier.

Each channel of the TRA-8206 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. Each channel is fully independent, and can run at different data rates.

LED indicators at the front of the module identify the presence of incoming video, and the identified signal data rate for each channel.

A special feature of the TRA-8206 is the ability to operate in a number of different channel modes. By simply changing a jumper, the TRA-8206 can be configured as:

• a single channel 1:7
• a dual channel 1:4 + 1:3 or 1:5 + 1:2
• a triple channel 1:3 + 1:2 + 1:2

The triple channel mode is ideal for applications requiring only 1 or 2 outputs, such as mid-cable signal boosters, router expansion, or signal cleanup. Up to 30 SDI distribution channels can be housed in a 2RU space.

The TRA-8206 is housed in our DFR-8310 series frames.
