Maxtron RC-5400 HD/SD Serial Digital Re-clocking 1x4 DA
The Maxtron RC-5400 is a small, low-cost, 1x4 SD/HD (dual-rate) re-clocking distribution amplifier featuring
four separately buffered HD/SD-SDI outputs. The RC-5400 provides automatic input cable equalization up to
175 meters at 1.45GHz. Output #1 is failsafe protected using a dry-contact 3GHz relay to provide signal pass
through in case of power failure.
An included adaptive equalizer measures the amplitude of the the signal applied to the RC-5400 and applies
equalization based upon this attenuated level. After the level has be compensated, the data is written into
hardware registers and read out with a stable clock. Two of the major specifications for a reclocker are it's
jitter tolerance -- how much jitter can there be on the input, and the amount of residual jitter -- how much
jitter gets through to the output. The jitter tolerance for the RC-5400 is >6UI and the residual jitter at the
output is <0.05 UI (typical) using colorbars.
Powered by standard 5V wall mounted power supply (provided), and protected with automatic reset fuses,
these units incorporate built-in power surge and transit protection. All Maxtron products are RoHS and
Green compliant.
