Deluge VDOHub DVB-ASI Hub

VDOHub DVB-ASI Hub/Splitter/ExtenderThe VideoPropulsion VDOHub is a stand-alone, cascadable device that is used to convert, split, or extend DVB-ASI links.

Data input can be either DVB-ASI-C (75 ohm Coax copper cable with BNC connectors) copper or DVB-ASI-O (62.5 µm optical cable with SC connectors) optical.  Three data outputs are provided: two DVB-ASI-C, and one DVB-ASI-O. Several VDOHub units can be cascaded to enable larger configurations.

Extender

Each VDOHub can be used to double the maximum distance between DVB-ASI devices.  Complete clock information is recovered from the incoming data stream, and used to fully re-time the outgoing data.  This allows multiple VDOHubs to be connected in series in order to form arbitrarily long links.

Converter

The VDOHub can be used to convert between copper and optical DVB-ASI links.  Since the data input can be either copper or optical, and outputs are provided for copper and optical, both types of conversion are supported.

Splitter

The VDOHub can be used to split a single DVB-ASI link for delivery to multiple destinations.  All three outputs are always driven, so a single source can be split to three destinations. Multiple VDOHubs can be cascaded together to support larger configurations. For example, a 6 port DVB-ASI hub can be configured using 3 VDOHub units cascaded together via the optical ports to create a 'daisy chain'.
