Product News: Distribution Amplifier: DA-2HD

Product News: Distribution Amplifier: DA-2HDA few years ago, one of our Military customers asked us whether we had thought about making a DA that did not require external power. We already had products available that used a small 5V power supply so we suggested those to them. However, our customer explained to us why a DA without external power would be a better solution...

Military applications often rely on UAVs (Unmanned Arial Vehicles) for surveillance and other missions.

Since every mission needs to be recorded, they needed two simultaneous outputs; one for the operator and another one for the recording device. However, if the power supply fails on the DA, the operator can no longer observe the mission. Thus, a DA that requires power introduces a possible point of failure. In order to record the mission without a passive device like the DA-2HD, a video camera records the monitor in real-time.

Here at Apantac we love a challenge, and therefore a few months later we introduced the DA-2HD splitters/distribution amplifier.

BUT, theres more.... After this tidy little solution was on the market a while, our broadcast customers started asking for a single rack-mount of these units for a particular application for feeding redundant servers. Why? Because.....

No single point of failure

Uses no power at all

Uses less space

Zero rack space if mounted at the back of the rack

More cost-effective

Therefore, we built the DA-2HDX-16, a rack mount for up to 16 DA-2HD units.

A TYPICAL APPLICATION: Feeding a production switcher and a router from the same sources
