Ideal for use in modern recording and broadcast studios, the DIGI-TOOL F622 from Lake People is a distribution amplifier and digital splitter designed to deliver up to 16 wordclock or AES-iD signals for one input. The F622 features two separate 24-bit modules, both with one unbalanced BNC input and eight unbalanced BNC outputs, and can be operated as either two separate 1x8 splitters or one 1x16 splitter.

The unit features high output voltages for maintaining signal strength over very-long distances, and a high input sensitivity helps to regenerate weak input signals. The F622 also sports failsafe operation thanks to its switchable multimode power supply, which automatically detects power input and switches to the appropriate voltage between 90 and 260 VAC.

For Studio and Broadcast Use    Two BNC Inputs, 16 BNC Outputs    2 x 1-In/8-Out or 1 x 1-In/16-Out    S/PDIF Wordclock and AES-iD I/O    24-Bit Operation    High Input Sensitivity for Signal Regen    Large Output Voltages for Long Cable Run    Auto-Switching Multimode PSU

One of the most important features of any professional distribution amplifier is the signal strength of the output, as a strong signal is vital for high-quality broadcasts and complex digital signal routings. Oftentimes, a studio may need to feed digital signals over very-long distances, resulting in significant loss.

To address this issue, the F622 sports AGC amplifiers to produce 5 Vpp output signals for wordclock and 1 Vpp for AES-iD, more than enough to cover extremely long cable runs while maintaining optimal signal integrity. Both the inputs and outputs feature transformers for ensuring ideal signal strength, even allowing the unit to recover (regenerate) lost signal strength when receiving weak input signals.

The F622 is a rack-mountable distribution splitter that can be a vital asset for any broadcast studio or recording facility. With two separate modules, the F622 can feed two separate S/PDIF sync data streams via wordclock or AES-iD to multiple destinations. These functions are aided by the following:

• Jumpers for switching the output impedance from 75 to 50 ohms to drive improper wordclock inputs
• Jumpers to switch to AES-iD operation
• Jumpers that switch to Superclock 256 Fs
• Unbalanced BNC sockets with high input sensitivity and output voltages 
• Clear LEDs for indicating if a module is active or no input signal is detected

Q: 4. Can language be configured for this item or does it only come with English keys?

A: We only sell this with English keys.

Q: 5. The specs for this item list that it can be used with both aperture and shutter priority modes. One of the user reviews seems to imply that it only works in shutter priority.Can you please clarify as I am looking specifically for something to use in aperture priority?Thank you

A: This is a shutter priority only meter. The shutter speed is entered in full stops and the aperture reads in 1/10th stops. I have been collecting light meters for 30 years and find that this Kenko meter is better made than theMinolta it replaces. It is a fine and accurate meter that fits the hand just right.

Q: 6. Does this adapter also work with the televid 77 spotting scope?

A: This product is merely a "T2" ring that allows you to connect a Leica M-series bayonet mount to a third-party lens with standard T2 thread or some sort of photographic accessory allowing you to attach the lens or accessory to a Leica M camera body. It does not mount to a Leica Televid. Years ago, Leica made an accessory, part # 42301 - SLR Photo Adapter for Leica Televid 77 / 62 that had T2 screw thread at the basal end (allowing mount of any camera body through use of T2 adapter). It replaced the eyepiece and converted the scope to an 800 mm, manual focus, fixed aperture telephoto lens. However these accessories were discontinued when these scopes were discontinued and replaced over a decade ago, so they are generally only found in the used market place. To mount an modern M with "live view" to an old Televid 77 you would need to find the 42301 somewhere AND use this T2 ring between the adapter and the camera body.

Q: 7. Can I fire my flash from (with) this meter

A: If you attach a sync cord or a wireless transmitter to the sync port of the KFM-1100 Auto Digi Meter, it could fire a flash.

Q: 8. Which one is closer in color to procyc? The Chimera chroma green or the chimera digi green?

A: We would suggest chimera digi green for a better keying experience.

Q: 9. does this have spot metering ability and if so is it 1 degree?

A: The KFM-1100 can accept a 5 degree spotfinder, B&H # KEKFM100 , http://bhpho.to/18Gjvp0.

Q: 10. Is the lens-mount a standard T2, usable with any T-mount lens?

A: The Leica Digi-Adapter T2 for M Series Cameras is a standard T2 adapter designed to connect a Leica M-mount to any binocular, telescope, microscope, or lens that uses standard T-mount threads.
