DRSS-1080 Digital Signal Splitter 1 x 8 Splitter DRSS/E1SS Splitter provides a means of non-intrusively monitoring or recording DAB Ensemble Transport Interface (ETI) bitstreams without loading the original signals. The source bitstream connection is made through one of two BNC connectors that are hard-wired in parallel. This means that the source bitstream passes-through the Splitter without any in-line curcuitry or delay.
