The SD406B is a “full monitoring” distribution amplifier providing two reclocked serial video outputs, two analog video monitor outputs and the stereo analog audio outputs of the selected embedded group.The SD406B also has an automatic cable equalizer, at the input, which provides reliable reception of high-data-rate (143-360 Mbps) digital signals over cable runs up to 300m long.

The multi-function SD406B includes demuxing, stereo analog audio conversion, 4:2:2 to PAL or NTSC conversion and signal distribution on the same card.The combination of these features makes the SD406B the complete, cost effective solution for monitoring the signal components of the serial video signal. Lower cost analog audio and video monitors can be used to listen to and view the serial signal.Using the SD406B saves valuable rack space and eliminates the need for external (in-line or rack mounted) conversion and/or encoding devices.

The SD406B has status indicators located along the front edge of the amplifier card to signal the presence or lack of a viable serial video signal at the input. On the SD406B, an LED signals whether both audio streams within the selected group are present.

The SD406B may be field programmed to demux any one of the four embedded audio groups.The SD406B can support 20 or 24 bit audio.The SD406B provides a level trim for in field calibration of the analog audio outputs.The analog audio outputs can be jumpered for stereo or mono.

The SD406B can be installed in any position in the MF100 or MF104 Serialboxx frame.The SD406B is supplied with a TB102 termination assembly.The TB102 mounts on the rear panel of the MF100 or MF104 directly behind the slot where the SD406B is installed.
