DA4 12G HD-SDI • Setup Guide

Overview

The DA4 12G HD-SDI is a one input, four output distribution amplifier for multi-rate SDI. The DA distributes an SDI video
signal with embedded audio, closed caption, and time code to up to four simultaneous outputs. It is capable of handling rates
from 270 Mbps to 11.88 Gbps data rate. The DA also features automatic cable equalization and output signal re-clocking to
compensate for signal degradation in long cable runs.
This guide provides quick start instructions for an experienced installer to setup and operate the DA4 12G HD-SDI distribution
amplifier. For complete instructions, see the DA4 12G HD-SDI User Guide at www.extron.com.
