6.2 Getting to Know Your SD-7108 Distributor / Deserializer
The Kramer SD-7108 is an adjustment-free, equalized, reclocking, multi-standard Serial Video
Distribution Amplifier. In addition, a parallel ECL reclocked output is also provided.
The machine provides automatic equalization for losses on the 75-ohm co-axial cable (up to 100s of
meters of cable - depending on the cable and the video standard), and reclocks the output to provide 8
low-jitter, serial digital outputs. Standard recognition is automatic, and front-panel LEDs indicate the
detected standard. 4f

PAL, 4f

NTSC, Component 4:2:2, and 16:9 (wide-screen) standards are all
recognized. The user may adjust the serial video output level. The CARRIER LED indicates the detection
of a signal at the input, and the SYNC LED shows that horizontal synchronization has been detected. The
machine operates for both 10-bit and 8-bit video, automatically recognizing the word length.
