Description

The BC351 is a distribution amplifier for the distribution of 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, SD-SDI and ASI signals in a digital television facility. The incoming signal is auto-sensed and then equalised prior to being driven into the five available outputs. In non-reclocking mode the unit can operate with data rates from 10 Mb/s to 3 Gb/s. The BC351 occupies a single slot in the BC100-3RU 19″ rack-mounting frame which can hold up to 15 single slot cards. Some BC Series processing cards have dual functionality allowing up to 30 channels of video to be transmitted or received from a single 3RU frame. For stand alone applications the BC351 can be housed in an individual rugged enclosure.
