04
Modular Card Type
Two types of modular cards (12Gbps and 3Gbps) are available for the Pacific
DA-204, supporting distribution of SDI inputs with different data rates and
transmission distances. Each card operating independently truly achieves no
single point of failure operation, and flexible combination of up to 8 cards in one
1RU enclosure aims to meet various application needs.
05
Manual Routing Configuration
By configuring the DIP switch setting corresponding to each modular card, the
Pacific DA-204 can be set to perform signal distribution in one of the 3 manual
routings as follows:
Fixed 2-OUT
Fixed one input to two outputs
First IN 4-OUT
Input 1 signal to all four outputs
Second IN 4-OUT
Input 2 signal to all four outputs
06
Automatic Routing Configuration
By configuring the DIP switch setting to automatic routing, the Pacific DA-204
will intelligently perform signal distribution based on the presence of valid inputs.
Less than 60 milliseconds response time to detect signal presence and finish
altering signal routings.
If signal presence is detected at both
input 1 and input 2, each input will be
automatically fixed and routed to two
outputs
If signal presence is detected only
at input 1, this input will be
automatically routed to all four
outputs
If signal presence is detected only
at input 2, this input will be
automatically routed to all four
outputs
07
Reliable Backup Solution
Featuring automatic signal presence detection, Pacific DA-204 automatically switches to the valid input in case
when loss of signal occurs at either input, forming a low-cost backup solution to maintain signal distribution.
For mission critical applications such as broadcasting of sports events, TV newsroom and studio where sources
need to be distributed to multiple destinations, continuous signal feeds with no interruption are required. The Pacific
DA-204 provides a signal distribution solution with simple yet robust backup scheme. In case of signal drops at
input 1 which serves as the primary source, the secondary source (input 2) will be automatically routed as backup to
corresponding outputs within 60 milliseconds.
