500DA2Q

Dual Reclocking Distribution Amplifier

VistaLINK® enabled

The Evertz 500DA2Q Reclocking Distribution Amplifier provides the highest density DA in the industry allowing up to 32 SD distribution amplifiers in a 3RU rack space. It provides inexpensive distribution of your SMPTE 259M (143 to 360Mb/s), SMPTE 344M (540Mb/s), or SMPTE 310M (19.4Mb/s) signals. The 500DA2Q features two auto-equalized inputs and can be configured either as a single DA with eight reclocked outputs or as two separate DAs with four outputs each. In the case of dual operation, each DA can be individually set via jumpers for either SMPTE 259M/344M or SMPTE 310M reclocking.

The 500DA2Q is housed in the 3RU 500FR exponent frame that will hold up to 16 modules.

Features
  • Normal mode for SMPTE 259M (143 - 360Mb/s), SMPTE 344M (540Mb/s), or DVB-ASI signals - autodetects correct bit rate
  • Jumper selectable mode for SMPTE 310M (19.4Mb/s) signals
  • Jumper selectable non-reclock mode for SMPTE 310M (19.4Mb/s) signals or any other SDI signal within the 143Mb/s to 1.5Gb/s range
  • Configurable as 1 DA with 8 outputs or 2 DAs with 4 outputs each
  • Fully hot-swappable from front of frame with no BNC disconnect required
  • Independent isolated output drivers to ensure no cross channel loading effects (i.e. no need to terminate unused outputs)
  • Tally output on Frame Status bus upon loss of input signal
  • VistaLINK® capable for remote monitoring via SNMP (using VistaLINK® PRO) when installed in 500FR frame with 500FC VistaLINK® Frame Controller
