The CMA-8011A-7 provides convenient and cost effective dual purpose solution for signal distribution and picture monitoring requirements. Outputs are jumper selectable to allow for seven reclocked SDI streams with one composite analog monitoring output or six reclocked SDI streams with two composite analog monitoring outputs. The CMA-8011A-7 addresses high-quality image monitoring requirements by converting 8 MSb’s of the SDI signal to analog composite video. To achieve low artifact video output, it uses 10-bit DAC with a 10MHz bandwidth. The CMA-8011A-7 has several user-selectable settings. Some of the available modes are monochrome monitoring outputs, 75% color bar test pattern and vertical interval blanking.
