BBG-DA-12G-1x6
12G/6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI / ASI /
MADI Reclocking Distribution
Amplifier With Input Status LED
The BlueBox™ DA-12G-1x6 Reclocking Distribution Amplifier (hereinafter "BlueBox™
DA-12G-1x6") provides a small "throwdown" package that offers a 1X6 DA with automatic
detect and reclock at 12, 2.970, 1.485, and 0.270 Gb/s. ASI is supported on 4 non-inverting
outputs. The DA-12G-1x6 can be powered from USB and/or 5-16 VDC using an AC adapter
(supplied).
The DA-12G-1x6 can be operated in automatic standard detect mode or in a manual standard
mode. Non-inverting ASI reclock is available on OUTPUT 1 thru 3 and 5 output ports.
LED Indicator
The LED indicates the following modes:
• Solid GREEN – Input detected (and of rate recognized by device). Normal operation.
• Flashing GREEN – No input (or input rate not recognized by device).
• Flashing AMBER – Settings have changed and are not currently saved (settings being written to memory).
• Flashing RED – Bootloader/firmware upgrade mode. Flashing red state persists while firmware is being
uploaded and ceases when upload is complete.

Connecting BlueBox™ DA-12G-1x6
1 Connect BlueBox™ DA-12G-1x6 power using either or both the USB port or the supplied
AC adapter. Dual source (simultaneous) use provides power redundancy.
2. Connect SDI, ASI, or MADI input. Note the specific output ports that can be used for ASI
(as shown on the previous page). This provides the basic connections. Other connections
do not require termination if unused.
Switch Settings
The 4-position switch allows
forcing a reclocking rate or allow
auto detect, and also allows mute
upon input loss as shown below.
Configure Using USB allows
BBG-DA-12G-1x6 to be configured
and monitored using a GUI which
replicates control settings shown
here. When set to Configure Using
USB, last-saved USB GUI settings
take effect. When set to Configure
Using DIP Switches, current DIP
switch settings take effect.
