ROSS SRA-8901-R 12G-SDI Relay Bypass with 1x4 Distribution

12 G Bypass Protection Switch with Output Distribution

The SRA-8901-R is a bypass relay protection card designed to be installed in the openGear frame. It offers support for SDI signals ranging from SD to 12G, provides DashBoard control and monitoring capabilities, reclocked distribution of the primary signal, and adjustable switching parameters.

Protection for Critical Signals

As facilities transition to UHD, the cost of downtime for critical feeds is a significant concern. In air-chains and other applications, the SRA-8901-R offers the essential ability to automatically transfer to a stable bypass source in the event of primary signal failure.

Reliable, Robust, and Cost-Effective

The SRA-8901-R enhances the reliability of SDI signal paths up to 12G in a cost-effective manner. Even under adverse conditions, such as upstream equipment failure or power loss to the frame, the SRA-8901-R ensures continuity of the bypass signal.

High-Density and Flexible openGear Solution

The SRA-8901-R is a high-density solution that can protect up to 20 signals within a single openGear frame. Configuration and monitoring are centralized through the DashBoard interface, which allows you to customize switching characteristics to match the requirements of your signal chain.
