Maxtron RC-5400 HD/SD Serial Digital Re-clocking 1x4 DA

The Maxtron RC-5400 is a small, low-cost, 1x4 SD/HD (dual-rate) re-clocking distribution amplifier featuringfour separately buffered HD/SD-SDI outputs. The RC-5400 provides automatic input cable equalization up to175 meters at 1.45GHz. Output #1 is failsafe protected using a dry-contact 3GHz relay to provide signal passthrough in case of power failure.

An included adaptive equalizer measures the amplitude of the the signal applied to the RC-5400 and appliesequalization based upon this attenuated level. After the level has be compensated, the data is written intohardware registers and read out with a stable clock. Two of the major specifications for a reclocker are it'sjitter tolerance -- how much jitter can there be on the input, and the amount of residual jitter -- how muchjitter gets through to the output. The jitter tolerance for the RC-5400 is >6UI and the residual jitter at theoutput is <0.05 UI (typical) using colorbars.

Powered by standard 5V wall mounted power supply (provided), and protected with automatic reset fuses,these units incorporate built-in power surge and transit protection. All Maxtron products are RoHS andGreen compliant.
