Osprey Video SDARD-4 1 x 4 USB Powered Equalized/Reclocked 3G-SDI Distribution Amplifier

The Osprey Video SDARD-4 is a top - notch 3G - SDI distribution amplifier. The SDI Distribution Amplifier series offers 12G, 3G, HD, SD, DVB - ASI models, making it highly adaptable for complex video workflows. There are both reclocking and non - reclocking versions for different needs. It's incredibly user - friendly, as it can be powered from any USB 2.0/3.0 port or with the included wall power supply using the lockable USB power cable. Crafted with the highest - quality components, this amplifier with automatic input detection can accept any single - link SDI input up to 12G. It then passes the signal directly to four outputs while keeping ancillary data and embedded audio intact. The automatic cable equalization feature helps reduce signal attenuation over long distances. To save power and maintain signal quality, you can easily turn off unused ports with the accessible dip switches. Key features include 1 input and 4 outputs, supporting 3G, HD, SD - SDI, and DVB - ASI signals.

Using the Osprey Video SDARD - 4 is quite straightforward. First, connect the SDI input source to the amplifier's input port. You can choose to power it either by plugging it into a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on your device or use the wall power supply with the provided lockable USB power cable. Once it's powered on, the amplifier will automatically detect the input signal. The signal will then be distributed to the four output ports, and you can connect your displays or other devices to these outputs. When using it, make sure the cables are properly connected to avoid signal loss. If you don't need all four output ports, you can turn off the unused ones using the dip switches. This will help save power and keep the signal strong. For maintenance, keep the amplifier in a clean and dry place. Periodically check the cables for any signs of damage and replace them if necessary. Also, make sure the power supply is stable to prevent any issues with the device.
