Description

The VanCryst VS146 6-Port 3G/HD/SD-SDI Splitter is a robust distribution amplifier engineered for broadcast, production, and professional AV environments. With a single SDI input and six SDI outputs, it enables real-time viewing and monitoring across multiple displays, ensuring you never miss a critical frame. Designed to handle 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI formats, the VS146 preserves video integrity and embedded audio while delivering dependable performance even in demanding setups. Automatic cable equalization helps compensate for signal loss over long cable runs, enabling flexible rack layouts and room-to-room signal distribution without compromising picture quality. The device’s re-clocking capability refreshes timing on SDI streams, reducing jitter and skew as the signal traverses multiple outputs. This makes it an ideal choice for studio control rooms, OB vans, post-production suites, sports facilities, and live event environments where multiple displays must stay perfectly in sync. Additionally, the VS146 is TAA compliant, supporting government and enterprise procurement strategies, while its compact, rack-ready form factor facilitates easy integration into existing infrastructure.

  • Six-output SDI distribution: 1 input is retransmitted to 6 outputs for simultaneous monitoring across multiple displays or recording devices.
  • Broad format support: Handles 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI signals, preserving both video and embedded audio across all outputs.
  • Long-distance capability: Automatic cable equalization enables reliable SDI transmission over extended cable runs, up to 300 meters, with minimal degradation.
  • Signal integrity through re-clocking: Re-clocks SDI signals to maintain timing and reduce jitter when routing to multiple destinations.
  • Procurement-ready and compact: TAA compliant with a space-saving, rack-friendly design suitable for professional studios and control rooms.

How to install VS146

  • Plan placement in your rack or enclosure so the VS146 is easily accessible for cabling and maintenance, with adequate airflow around the unit.
  • Connect the SDI source to the 1 x SDI input (BNC) using high-quality SDI cables suitable for your signal type and length.
  • Route six SDI outputs from the VS146 to your displays, recorders, or monitoring devices. Ensure each destination supports the same SDI format as the input.
  • Power the VS146 using the appropriate external power supply. Verify all connections are snug and seated properly to prevent signal interruption.
  • Power on the system and check each output for a clean, synchronized signal. If you notice discrepancies, confirm cable integrity and ensure there are no mismatched formats on the input.
