General

The DDA-4007 270 Mb/s serial digital video distribution amplifier provides the user with a single standard module to cover a wide range of distribution and monitoring functions for SDI or ASI signals.

The DDA-4007 supersedes the DVA-3007 and provides all of its predecessor's functions together with the added option of a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) monitoring module for use with IRT's SNMP system frame.

Due to the fact that standard loop through techniques used in the analogue domain are unsuitable to the digital domain most digital equipment comes with no facility to route the input signal to other locations. As a result a VDA is required at almost every point in the digital chain.

Serial digital signals also suffer severe deterioration over relatively short cable distances. The DDA-4007 provides a means of extending the working distances that can be achieved by equalising.

Where a large number of reclocked outputs are required the DDA-4007 may be used to provide reclocking and its outputs fed to one or more non reclocking DA's to provide the number of outputs required.

This provides a more economic solution than using multiple reclocking DA's and minimises jitter increase due to unnecessary re-clocking.

An optional rear assembly, ZDA-4006RL (sold separately), provides a bypass relay to switch the Input (SK1) to Output 1 (SK2) in the event of a power failure. When this bypass rear assembly is used, the number of outputs is reduced to 6.

The DDA-4007 is designed to fit IRT's standard Eurocard frames as well as IRT's 4000 series frame for use with IRT's SNMP system and may be used alongside any other of IRT's analogue or digital Eurocards.
