Monitor and distribute a feed using the same board

The DDAA132P is a single SDI to composite or Y/C monitoring encoder with distribution amplifier and four test patterns. It provides non-broadcast conversion of SDI sources to PAL/NTSC or Y/C.

It has one input and a maximum of four analogue outputs, which can be any mixture of PAL/NTSC and Y/C pairs.

Use it as a distribution amplifier

It also doubles as a distribution amplifier by providing extra reclocked feeds of the serial digital input - with up to four SDI loop-throughs available.

The DDAA132P is ideal for driving picture monitors, waveform monitors and vector scopes and for distributing SDI signals.

Easy to set up your picture monitors with four test patterns

The DDAA132P includes four very useful test patterns on the analogue outputs which can be selected by board edge or GPI and which are PLUGE, Vertical edge markers, Luma/chroma ramp and EBU colour bars.

This means you can use the DDAA132P to set up your picture monitors using the test patterns before monitoring and distributing a feed - all on the one board.

Many useful features

It has an 8 bit input with a 9 bit digital to analogue converter to maintain the composite signal resolution, and includes the flexibility of selectable blanking. It has continuously variable gain of +/-10% and a basic modulated ramp analogue test pattern which is useful for correct installation.

Flexible outputs

Flexible outputs are available with the rear module selected depending on the number of outputs required. The RM01 frame rear module gives two composite outputs (or one Y/C) with three SDI loop-throughs, while the RM02 and RM18 both give four composite outputs (or two Y/C) with four SDI loop-throughs.

Save rack space

The DDAA132P is a space-saving 100mm x 266mm module which is housed alongside any other product in the standard frames - available in 4U, 2U, 1U and desk top box sizes - and with up to 12 boards fitting in 2U.

Choose your control

The DDAA132P can be either controlled manually using board edge switches or by using GPI inputs.
