6.4 Getting to Know Your SD-7816 Digital Audio Distributor
The Kramer SD-7816 is a high performance, dual mode, distribution amplifier for digital audio
signals. The machine can be set to operate as a single-channel 1:16 or as a two-channel 1:8 unit. Several
digital formats are supported including AES/EBU, IEC 958, S/PDIF and EIAJ CP340/1201 professional
and consumer formats with sampling frequencies up to 96 kHz.
The machine provides 2 inputs, equalized to compensate for losses on twisted pair cables.
Reclocking at each input provides 16 low-jitter digital audio outputs. The SD-7816 uses 110-ohm twisted
pair cable on detachable terminal block connectors. All inputs and outputs are transformer coupled. The
front panel LEDs display the selected setup, the presence of digital audio signals, and the detection of errors
in the data stream.
Panel features of the SD-7816 are described in Figure 6 and Table 4.
