A simple and great quality converter. Except... there is no indication that the device is on/off, working/not-working, nothing. No lights or indicators to help you with troubleshooting.

Comments about AJA HD5DA 1x4 HD-SDI Distribution Amplifier:
I had to get this piece of equipment for one, not manycamera houses in LA carry this. 2, I can subrent this for a chunk of change and it only cost [$]. I rent this little guy for $75 a day and that is still a steal.

Comments about AJA HD5DA 1x4 HD-SDI Distribution Amplifier:
I consistently had a loss of sync with a 300 ft run of BNC. I put this DA in the middle of two 150ft runs and the problem is gone!

Comments about AJA HD5DA 1x4 HD-SDI Distribution Amplifier:
We are using this amplifier on a TV show. Since we are shooting digital these days, there is more need for information to be picked up between the camera and sound departments and to keep signals stronger as the crew gets spread out at times. This has been a big help to facilitate these needs for the crew. Ultimately, it is a way to save time which saves money.

Comments about AJA HD5DA 1x4 HD-SDI Distribution Amplifier:
The test of a DA is whether it amplifies the signal properly. We had a 500 foot HD-SDI run - past the 300 foot max - and used it to send an embedded HD-SDI signal. Performed flawlessly. Plug-and-play capable which is great in a pinch.
