Be at the forefront of broadcast technology with the LOG-1832 Dual MD SDI Distribution Amplifier, an essential tool for professional video distribution within the openGear ecosystem. This versatile device is engineered to support a wide range of video formats, including Standard Definition (SD), High Definition (HD), Three Gigabits (3G), Three Dimensions (3D), and Dual Link, making it a truly multi-definition (MD) solution for your Serial Digital Interface (SDI) needs.

The LOG-1832 excels in signal integrity, restoring incoming SDI signals to their original amplitude, reshaping them through automatic equalization, DC restoration, and re-clocking processes. This ensures that your video content is delivered with the highest quality and minimal signal degradation over extended distances.

With maximum equalized cable lengths of up to 750 feet for SD at 270Mbit/s, 200 feet for HD at 1.485Gbit/s, and 100 feet for 3G at 2.97Gbit/s, the LOG-1832 is designed to maintain signal strength across various setups and environments. It also supports both 3G Level A and 3G Level B video signals, providing further versatility for your distribution requirements.

The LOG-1832 is user-friendly, offering control through the intuitive Dashboard software, which provides a graphical interface for easy configuration and monitoring. Alternatively, users can opt for manual control via onboard DIP switches, offering flexibility for different operational preferences.

This distribution amplifier is not only capable of operating as a DVB-ASI distribution amplifier at 270Mbit/s but also supports a broad range of data rates from 270Mbit/s to 2.97Gbit/s, catering to a variety of broadcast standards and ensuring compatibility with a multitude of devices.

The front card edge of the LOG-1832 is equipped with LED indicators for operational status, including signal lock detection, ensuring that users can quickly assess the device's performance at a glance. The unit's configuration is highly adaptable, with the full 10 BNC rear cell providing eight outputs. It can be set up as a single input 1 X 8 MD SDI DA or as a dual input 1 X 4 MD SDI DA, with the second set of outputs capable of functioning as a 2 X 1 switcher or for detecting the presence of SDI on the first input.

Designed for seamless integration, the LOG-1832 is compatible with both openGear 10 and 20 card frames and can operate alongside cards from various manufacturers, ensuring a harmonious and flexible system setup. The commitment to quality is evident, as evidenced by Link's 10-year warranty, promising years of reliable and outstanding performance.
