The VDA-2419 is a multi-rate SDI digital video distribution system for distributing up to nine signals from a common input or two groups of four signals from two inputs. It also can handle other data rates within the range and specifications of SDI signals. This is presented in a single slot openGear (OG) card that can be tandem along with a second card to share a rear panel and achieve a quad DA with four outputs each or dual DA with nine outputs each. But what makes the VDA-2419 truly unique is that it incorporates an integrated cross-point matrix that allows not only the ability to assign a given input signal to one or more outputs, but also to enable and disable outputs should the need arise. We have also incorporated an automatic fail-over mode that, when selected, will switch to the second input should the signal in the first input somehow fail or become corrupted. Optionally, the card can accept an SDI input signal via optical fiber and/or output a signal to optical fiber for installations with mixed cable topographies.
