HD-SDI Repeaters for Long-Distance Digital HD-CCTV Extend HD-CCTV Links up to 1.0 km with Power Over Cable and Camera Control Link Over Single Coax Cable Implementation Each repeater supports a data rate of 2.97 Gbit/s (3G-SDI). A link of up to 220m can be achieved with a data rate of 1.485 Gbit/s, depending on cable quality*. For longer cable lengths, lower speed camera are supported. For example, a cable length of 720m supports SDI cameras. Up to five repeater units can be daisy chained together, all powered over the coax cable by the first repeater. Summary Microchip's EQCO-SDI30-7501 is an extender solution for HD-SDI links, operating over a standard 75 coax cable. Each unit receives an attenuated HD-CCTV signal and extends it up to 220m over the coax cable. The repeater contains three critical components to correct and then retransmit the signal: Adaptive Equalizer to return the signal to its original amplitude and modulation Reclocker to resynchronize the signal--bringing it back to its original condition Cable Driver to retransmit the signal with its original characteristics restored The repeater design offers these unique benefits: Power can be transmitted from the recorder (DVR) side to the camera over the coax cable Up to five repeaters may be powered from the first repeater at the DVR side over the cable; if only one or two repeaters are used, the remaining power may also be adequate to power the SDI camera at the remote end A control signal (RS485) can be transmitted from the recorder (DVR) side to the camera over the coax cable The repeater enables simultaneous signal transmission camera control, and power, over a single cable. The repeater nearest the recorder can be provided with the system power and the camera control signals. Similarly, the control signals and power (if needed) can be fed to a camera by the nearest repeater to it. Camera control is accomplished via RS485, the most commonly used communications protocol. It supports a control signal bandwidth of up to 38.4 kbps.
