8945EDA and 8945EDA-D
SD/HD Equalizing DA
Introduction
The 8945EDA or 8945EDA-D Wideband Front Equalizing DA provides
basic equalization and distribution of a standard definition or high defini-
tion signal up to eight outputs over 75 ohm coaxial cable in SD/ASI or HD.
The two models, 8945EDA (single) and 8945EDA-D (dual) must be
installed in a GeckoFlex frame.
These devices can be utilized in broadcast centers, video production facili-
ties, OB vans and production trucks. The main application of those prod-
ucts is the distribution of the incoming SD/ASI or HD-SDI signals to the
video processing devices (routers, switchers, tape recorder, monitoring
devices, etc.). Usually, those devices are located in the area of the reception
transmission signal.
Features
The features of the 8945EDA and 8945EDA-D include:
• Auto cable equalization for up to 330m of cable in the case of SD-SDI
and ASI signals and for up to 125m of cable in the case of HD-SDI sig-
nals,
• Accepts a wide range of standard definition or high definition input
signal on one electrical input (two electrical inputs for the 8945EDA-D),
• Non-inverted outputs allow distribution of compressed signals for han-
dling such as DVB-ASI,
• Eight HD or SD/ASI electrical outputs,
• Provides a bypass mode for non-supported signal rates,
• Provide alarm (signal presence detection) and status management,
• Supports SNMP MIB reporting basic board alarms, and
• Remote control and monitoring support: web pages, Newton control
panel, NetConfig management system.
