A graphic representation of the timing and amplitude distortions is shown in an “eye diagram”, as below: Figure 1: Digital “EYE” Diagram Increase in jitter, and a decrease in amplitude cause the eye to “close”. It is clear that jitter of more than 50% would result in an irretrievable signal (cliff effect). KRAMER ELECTRONICS LTD. -

Interference from neighboring electrical appliances - These can have an adverse effect on signal quality. Balanced audio lines are less prone to interference, but unbalanced audio should be installed far from any mains power cables, electric motors, transmitters, etc. even when the cables are shielded.

Getting to Know Your SD-7388 Matrix The Kramer SD-7388 is an adjustment-free, 8x8 matrix switcher for SDI (serial digital) video signals. It is a true matrix allowing any input to be routed to any or all outputs simultaneously. It provides automatic equalization for losses on a 75-ohm co-axial cable, and reclocks each output to provide 8 low-jitter serial digital outputs. -

Getting to Know Your SD-7316 Matrix The Kramer SD-7316 is an adjustment-free, 16x16 matrix switcher for SDI (serial digital) video signals. It is a true matrix allowing any input to be routed to any or all outputs simultaneously. It provides automatic equalization for losses on a 75-ohm co-axial cable, and reclocks each output to provide 16 low-jitter serial digital outputs. -
Page 11: Installation
Connect up to eight (SD-7308, SD-7388) or sixteen (SD-7316) SDI sources to the input sockets. Connect up to four (SD-7308) eight (SD-7388) or sixteen (SD-7316) SDI acceptors to the output sockets. If required, connect the RS-232 port to a PC (or other controller), using a null-modem connection. -
Page 12: Rs-232 Communication Protocol For Sd-7308
RS-232 Communication Protocol for SD-7308 RS-232 communication with the SD-7308 is defined using a one byte protocol as defined below. The physical interface with the controller should be via a null-modem connection. Machine No. 1 New Switch Status N7 is only used for communication between the slave and the master and is always 0 for communication with the PC. -
