6.5 Getting to Know Your SD-7816B Digital Audio Distributor
The Kramer SD-7816B 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 75-ohm cables. Reclocking at
each input provides 16 low-jitter digital audio outputs. The SD-7816B is designed for 75-ohm coaxial
cables on BNC 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-7816B are described in Figure 7 and Table 5.
