The KanexPro 1x8 SDI unit can 
split, re-clock, and amplify SDI 
source video to 8 SDI outputs 
providing full HD 1080p resolution 
to up to 8 displays simultaneously 
for faster broadcasting and 
production.
The splitter accepts one SDI 
input from the SD-SDI, HD-SDI, 
or 3G-SDI video source such as 
VTR, SDI recorders and other 
sources. After replicating the 
signal perfectly, it automatically 
deploys cable equalization to 
simultaneously transmit SDI signals 
as far as 1000 feet (300 m) over 8 
x BNC coax runs to 8 monitors. For 
HD-SDI video, the splitter goes up 
to 500 feet (150 m) and for 3G-SDI 
video, up to 328 feet (100 m).
Ideally used with SDI based 
surveillance systems, rental & 
staging facilities, post-production, 
TV studio, digital cinema, or 
other A/V applications where you 
need to split and extend from a 
camera or other device equipped 
with 3G/HD/SD-SDI outputs to 8 
SDI-compliant displays or video 
processors.
