Model MSC-HDDA4
4 Output 3G-SDI Video Distribution Amplifier
List Price: $250 USD

Overview
Matrix Switch Corporation distribution amplifiers combine exceptional performance with value. Their compact size allows for them to be utilized in space constrained situations and all external connections are on the same side making for a clean installation.
The MSC-HDDA4 employs Auto Rate Detection for standard 3G, 1.5G, and SD data rates, with “Power OK”, “Lock” and “HD” indicators.
Features
- Re-clocks standard SDI rates UHD (11.88 Gbit/s), 3G (2.97 Gbit/s), HD (1.485 Gbit/s), and SD (270 Mbit/s)
- Auto bypass of non-standard SDI rates from 20 Mbit/s to 11.88 Gbit/s
- Passes SDI embedded audio and ancillary data
- Complies with all relevant FCC, U/L, CE, and RoHS requirements
- Backed by a full 2 year manufacturer parts and labor warranty
