Description
Wideband Digital Audio and Video Passive Splitter
The WS275 is a Wideband Digital Audio and Video Passive Splitter for use as a 3G/HD/SD-SDI, ASI 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 from a single channel unit up to 21 channels depending on input to output configuration.

Description:
The WS275 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 splitter within any facility.
Firstly, the WS275 Wideband Digital Audio and Video Passive Splitter has been designed with reliability for critical applications in mind. Consequently, this 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 provides a wideband performance allowing a ‘one splitter fits all’ solution.
The WS275 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 WS275 is available in a in-line or a range of compact 19″ 1RU rack mounting units.
