Overview
The 9001 is a high quality 3G/HD/SD Reclocking Distribution Amplifier. It is capable of equalizing
and reclocking an SDI signal in 3G, HD, or SD.
The 9001 can equalize and reclock an incoming SDI signal using up to 300m of cable at 270Mbps, up
to 120m of cable at 1.485Gbps, and 80m at 3Gbps.
The thin profile and low power consumption of the 9001 allows twenty of the 9001 cards to be
installed in a single 20-slot frame (when used in conjunction with a 9001 split rear module).
