Model 5300 Video ADC

MODULE OVERVIEW

The 5300 Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) Module converts NTSC or PAL composite video or RGB or Y,Cr,Cb analog component video into serial digital outputs conforming to

CCIR656 format. As shown in the block diagram on the following page, the composite and component inputs are independent of each other.

The composite input has a dedicated BNC for the following NTSC or PAL formats:

• NTSC composite with or without setup

• PAL composite

(Note that Secam and Y/C video cannot be converted.)

Three dedicated BNCs are available for converting the following analog component formats:

• 714 mV RGB without setup, with sync: none, green or all

• SMPTE Y,Cr,Cb

• Beta Y,Cr,Cb with setup

Both signal types are buffered, clamped and filtered before entering analog to digital conversion circuitry. This video is processed through a color space converter where component video is transcoded and composite video is passed through. The signal then enters a decoder circuit where the composite video is converted to component using a decoder that provides a number of user selectable Y/C separation filters.

If the optional 5310 or 5315 submodule is installed on the 5300, time base correction

(TBC) and frame synchronization allows for removal of time base error on the composite input. The reference input for the TBC functionality can be derived from a number of inputs to the module, including a reference BNC to the 5300, the System Control module in the frame or the incoming composite or component video. The 5315 submodule provides increased flexibility by offering a serial digital video input. The options also allow the module to accept asynchronous inputs and deliver serial outputs locked and time to the house reference. When using the 5310 and 5315 options, the System Control module is recommended. With the System Control module installed in the frame, Touch Screen and

Avenue PC can be used to adjust module parameters such as output timing. Without the

System Control module the output video is in time with the external reference video feeding the module.

The component video from this output is then multiplexed in the decoder and sent to EDH insertion processing and serializing circuitry before going to the four serial digital outputs.

Power is derived from the ± 12 volt frame power. It is regulated to the required +5 volts for the digital circuitry and ± 8 volts for the analog circuitry by on-board regulators. The module is fused with a resettable fuse device. If the fuse opens due to an overcurrent condition, the module will lose power. After pulling the module, the fuse will reset automatically requiring no replacement fuse.

The on-board CPU can monitor and report module ID information (slot location, software version and board revision), and power status (+5 volts or ±8 volts) to the optional frame

System Control module. This information can be accessed by the user or set to register an alarm if desired using the remote control options available.

INSTALLATION

5310 /15 Time Base Corrector/Frame Synchronizer Option

Plug the 5310 or 5315 Time Base Corrector/Frame Synchronizer module onto the two

40-pin connectors on the component side of the 5300 Video ADC module. The connectors are keyed such that the submodule can only be installed to match the connector keying.

5300 ADC Module

Plug the 5300 module into any slot in the 1 RU or 3 RU frame and install the plastic overlay provided onto the corresponding group of rear BNC connectors associated with the module location. Note that the plastic overlay has an optional adhesive backing for securing it to the frame. Use of the adhesive backing is only necessary if you would like the location to be permanent and is not recommended if you need to change module locations.

This module may be hot-swapped (inserted or removed) without powering down or disturbing performance of the other modules in the system.

CABLING

Refer to the 3 RU and 1 RU backplane diagrams of the module on the next page for cabling instructions. Note that unless stated otherwise, the 1 RU cabling explanations are identical to those given in the 3 RU diagram.

5300-6

Model 5300 Video ADC

3 RU Backplane

Cable the four serial digital output BNCs,

Out 1 - Out 4, to the desired serial digital destinations.

For 5315 option module:

Connect a serial digital input to this BNC.

Connect a sync input from the house reference to the Ref In BNC if using the 5310 or 5315.

Alternately, use the master timing reference input on the frame.

Connect the component signal to be converted to the corresponding

Y/G In, Cb In and Cr In

BNCs.

(For RGB no sync on G, see note below.)

Connect the composite signal to be converted to the Cpst In BNC.

The CONTROL 15-pin connector is not used at this time.

NOTE: For applications using an RGB signal with no sync on Y/G, insert a composite sync source into the Cpst In BNC and set the format to RGB no sync.

1 RU Backplane

5300-7

Model 5300 Video ADC

The configuration parameters for each Avenue module must be selected after installation.

This can be done remotely using one of the Avenue remote control options or locally using the module front panel controls. Each module has a REMOTE/LOCAL switch on the front edge of the circuit board which must first be set to the desired control mode.

The configuration parameter choices for the module will differ between Remote and

Local modes. In Remote mode, the choices are made through software and allow more selections. The 5300 Parameter Table later in this section summarizes and compares the various configuration parameters that can be set remotely or locally and the default/factory settings. It also provides the default User Levels for each control. These levels can be changed using the Avenue PC application.

If you are not using a remote control option, the module parameters must be configured from the front panel switches. Parameters that have no front panel control will be set to a default value. The Local switches are illustrated in the Front Panel Controls and

Indicators section following the 5300 Parameter Table.

Avenue module parameters can be configured and controlled remotely from one or both of the remote control options, the Avenue Touch Screen or the Avenue PC Application. Once the module parameters have been set remotely, the information is stored on the module

CPU. This allows the module to be moved to a different cell in the frame at your discretion without losing the stored information. Remote configuration will override whatever the switch settings are on the front edge of the module.

For setting the parameters remotely using the Avenue PC option, refer to the Avenue PC

Remote Configuration section of this document.

For setting the parameters remotely using the Avenue Touch Screen option or Avenue

Express Panel, refer to the Avenue Touch Screen Remote Configuration section of this document following Avenue PC.
