£135£2,695

The WS275 Wideband Digital Audio and Video Passive Splitter offers a full range of products to be used as HD 3G-SDI Passive Splitters. These wideband devices can be used for all signals from 3G-SDI digital video down to AES3 digital audio. These splitters are available in a single-channel standalone in-line unit or a range of multi-channel 19″ 1RU rack mounting units. The rack mounting splitters are offered in a combination of signal routing configurations which include front only connections, rear only connection, front inputs with rear outputs, or rear inputs with front outputs.

These units are available online, or you can contact us or your local distributor.

Description

WS275B – Wideband Digital Audio and Video Passive Splitter

The WS275B is a multi-channel Wideband Digital Audio and Video Passive Splitter for use as an ASI/SD/HD  and AES3/MADI splitter. Offering both in-line and rack mounting formats this high performance unit meets the requirements of ASI, SD-SDI, HD-SDI, and 3G-SDI.  Due to its wideband operation it is also compatible with MADI and AES3 digital audio signals. The 19″ 1RU rack mounting units are available in 6-channel, 10-channel, 12-channel or 20-channel variants. In addition, a number of different connection options exist.

Highlights:

  • Conveniently split a single source into two outputs
  • Up to 20 independent channels
  • High performance design with minimal insertion loss
  • Supports  ASI, SD-SDI, HD-SDI, and 3G-SDI digital video formats
  • Supports MADI and AES3i digital audio digital video formats
  • Passive device
  • Fault tolerant operation
  • 19″ 1RU rack mounting or in-line variants
  • Multiple rack mounting connection options
    • Front panel only
    • Rear panel only
    • Front to rear routing
    • Rear to front routing

Description:

The WS275B Wideband Digital Audio and Video Passive Splitter  conveniently splits a single source into two signals for distribution with minimal loss. Since it is a passive device, there is no requirement for power, therefore enabling easy and convenient deployment of the HD splitter within any facility.

Firstly, the WS275B Wideband Digital Audio and Video Passive Splitter  has been designed with reliability for critical applications in mind. Consequently, this HD Splitter is fault tolerant due to the high isolation between the outputs. As a result, the high isolation allows an open-circuit, short-circuit or incorrect termination on one output to have almost no effect on the quality of the remaining output.

Secondly, the design of the complex transformer arrangement minimises output and insertion losses. As a result, it will outperform a simple resistor splitter and provdes a very wideband performance allowing a ‘one splitter fits all’ solution.

The WS275B Wideband Digital Audio and Video Passive Splitter  will support all of the SDI and AES transmission rates between 2Mb/s and 3Gb/s. Therefore it is compatible with all digital video formats including ASI, SD-SDI,  HD-SDI, and 3G-SDI as well as digital audio signals conforming to AES10 (MADI) and AES3 and offers a cost effective alternative to powered distribution amplifiers. The WS275B is available in a in-line or compact 19″ 1RU rack mounting unit.
