2040RDA Wideband
Reclocking Distribution
Amplifier
Introduction
The 2040RDA Wideband Reclocking Distribution Amplifier provides high
HDTV distribution density with eight non-inverting outputs. It has
auto-detect and reclocking capability at all SD (standard definition) and
HD (high definition) data rates. The reclocking circuit can be bypassed to
distribute compressed signals down to 4 Mbps. Like any Kameleon 2000
Series analog or SDI (serial digital interface) distribution amplifier, the
2040RDA can be removed from the front of the Kameleon frame without
powering down or removing cables from the rear of the frame (hot swap-
pable).
The 2040RDA features include:
• Eight outputs,
• Module is hot-swappable,
• Automatic data rate detection,
• Reclocks at 143 Mbps, 177 Mbps, 270 Mbps, 360 Mbps, or 1.5 Gbps,
• Distributes transport streams in bypass mode,
• Auto-equalizing up to 100 meters for reclocked HD video or a bypassed
carrier and 300 meters for reclocked SD video, and
• Supports networked control and monitoring.
