The 8949MDA-SXF is a monitoring distribution
amplifier with SD-SDI monitoring outputs. This
module is ideal for low-cost monitoring of HD-SDI
signals. The 8949MDA provides four monitoring
outputs and four reclocked outputs and can
be used to distribute either SD-SDI or HD-SDI
making it ideal for mixed format applications or
installations where an upgrade is planned. Aspect
ratio controls are active on the downscaled
outputs with an HD input signal.
With its fiber-ready architecture the 8949MDA
can be configured to support up to two fiber
connections in addition to its eight coax outputs.
Applications include use as an HD-SDI fiber
transmitter with additional monitoring and
reclocked coax feeds. Or the module can have
a dual receiver (two fiber inputs) or a transceiver
(one fiber input and one fiber output).
All parameters can be adjusted directly from
the module itself or via standard HTML Web
browsers or via the Newton Control Panel (when
installed in network-equipped frames). In addition
NetConfig and NetCentral can be used for remote
configuration and signal health monitoring.
This is a monitoring
device so, in order to
