Engineered for professional broadcast environments, the SIIG 1x2 12G SDI Distribution Amplifier - 70M is a compact, rock-solid solution for real-time, multi-view monitoring and simultaneous feeds. This device takes a single 12G-SDI input and cleanly duplicates it into two identical 12G-SDI outputs, enabling you to run two displays, recorders, or monitoring chains from one reliable source without introducing latency or signal integrity concerns. Whether you’re in a studio, on location, or in a production truck, this distribution amplifier helps you maintain pristine video and audio quality across critical workflows. Built to handle high data rates typical of modern 4K workflows, it ensures a stable feed even when cables stretch across large rooms, studios, or outdoor stages.

When accuracy and reliability matter, the SIIG 1x2 12G SDI Distribution Amplifier delivers. Its automatic equalization technology compensates for cable loss so you can extend your reach without sacrificing picture quality. This makes it an ideal tool for multi-monitor setups, live event coverage, and studio environments where precise signal replication is non-negotiable. The unit’s streamlined, plug-and-play design means you can integrate it into existing SDI chains with minimal setup. No complicated software, no installation headaches—just dependable distribution that keeps your feeds in sync across devices and locations. And because the device is purpose-built for field use, its rugged construction and straightforward operation give you the confidence to rely on it every time you need to monitor or capture your source from multiple angles.

• 1x2 SDI distribution for multi-viewing: Duplicates one 12G-SDI input into two identical 12G-SDI outputs, enabling real-time monitoring on two displays or recording devices without latency or phase issues.
• Automatic equalization and long-distance support: Input signal automatically equalizes to compensate for cable loss, extending transmission distance to approximately 180 meters (594 feet) at 3G-SDI and about 100 meters (330 feet) at 6G-SDI. Perfect for on-location shoots, large studios, and remote setups where runs exceed typical limits.
• Broad compatibility with SDI standards: While optimized for 12G-SDI, its design supports interoperability across SDI generations to maintain compatibility with a wide range of legacy and contemporary equipment in your chain, ensuring your investment covers current and future projects.
• Reliable, plug-and-play installation: Drop this distribution amplifier into your workflow with minimal effort. Connect a single 12G-SDI feed to the input and two SDI cables to the outputs, then power on—the unit instantly provides two synchronized outputs for reliable monitoring and recording without extra configuration.
• Compact, durable design for field work: The slim, rugged enclosure is built for travel and demanding environments, making it a dependable companion in production trucks, studios, or on-set rigs where space and resilience matter.

How to Install SIIG 1x2 12G SDI Distribution Amplifier

• Step 1: Position the distribution amplifier in a convenient, ventilated spot within your SDI chain. Ensure it remains clear of excessive heat, dust, and physical stress.
• Step 2: Connect your source device (camera, switcher, encoder, or other 12G-SDI equipment) to the input port using a compatible 12G-SDI coaxial cable.
• Step 3: Connect two separate 12G-SDI cables from the amplifier’s outputs to your displays, recording devices, or monitors requiring the same feed.
• Step 4: Apply power to the distribution amplifier according to the included power supply or the specified power input for the unit. Verify the unit powers on with any indicated status indicators on the chassis.
• Step 5: Verify that both outputs display an identical signal with synchronized video. If you notice any discrepancies, re-check cable connections and ensure the input source is delivering a clean 12G-SDI signal.
• Step 6: Strategically manage cables to minimize interference and maintain a clean workflow. Keep SDI paths as direct as possible and use proper shielding and cable quality suitable for your environment.
