1 SDA-122i Digital Video Distribution Amplifier

1.1 Introduction

The SDA-122i is a high-quality 10-bit serial reclocked digital video distribution amplifier supporting

525 and 625-line formats for 4:2:2 or 4fsc signals. The module offers ASI support for DVB

applications and provides automatic equalization for up to 275 meters of cable and full

regeneration of the signal. It also supports all serial digital video signals from 143 to 540 Mbps.

The SDA-1221i is a member of the imaging family of digital video cards and therefore requires the

imaging Quartet, imaging Quartet-C, imaging Quartet-M, imaging Quartet-M-A-75 (bottom row

only), imaging Quartet-M-A-110 (bottom row only), Symphonie, or imaging Solo tray for mounting

and power. The Symphonie-R-C or Symphonie-R-M rear module is required for Symphonie

installations.

2.1 Unpacking

Make sure the following items have been shipped with your SDA-122i. If any of the following items

are missing, contact your distributor or Miranda Technologies Inc.

• SDA-122i Reclocked Digital Video Distribution Amplifier

• SDA-122i rear panel labels (3)

• This manual

2.2 SDA-122i Mechanical Installation

The SDA-122i must be mounted within Quartet, Quartet-C, Symphonie (using R-CX, R-C or R-M

rear module) or Solo imaging frames in order to provide power to the module. This section

describes how to install the SDA-122i in any of these frames. Note that only the Symphonie

imaging frame using the R-CX rear module allows to use the 7-output capability of the

SDA-122i. It is not necessary to switch off the power from these frames when installing or

removing the SDA-122i.

2.2.1 imaging Quartet and Quartet-C Frames

To install this module into Quartet or Quartet-C follow these steps. For a closer look at module

installation and removal, refer to the frame's Guide to Installation and Operation.

1. Remove the frame's front panel by rotating the thumb screws counter-clockwise. Pull on the

handles.

2. Select an empty slot.

3. Carefully place the SDA-122i between a set of module guides and gently push the module

towards the rear of the frame until the module's edge connector is secured to the backplane.

Pull lightly on the module verifying that it does not move.

4. Replace the frame's front panel. Make sure to rotate the thumb screws clockwise in order to

secure it to the chassis.

2.2.2 imaging Symphonie Frame

To install this module into Symphonie follow these steps. For a closer look at module installation

and removal, refer to the frame's Guide to Installation and Operation.

1. Remove the front panel door by pulling on the door handles and gently lowering it.

2. Select an empty compartment.

3. Carefully place the module between the module guides and slowly push the module towards

the rear of the frame until the module's edge connector is secured to its rear module. A light

pressure to mate the connectors may be required. Pull lightly on the module verifying that it

does not move.

4. Replace the front panel door.

2.2.3 imaging Solo Frame

To install this module into Solo follow these steps. For a closer look at module installation and

removal, refer to the frame's Guide to Installation and Operation.

1. In order to remove the frame's front panel, gently pull on it.

2. Carefully place the SDA-122i between the module guides and gently push the module towards

the rear of the frame until the module's edge connector is secured to the backplane. Pull

lightly on the module verifying that it does not move.

3. Replace the frame's front panel.

2.3 Rear Panel Label

Connector labels have been shipped with the SDA-122i. These labels are to be installed on the

frames’ rear panel in order to identify the module's external connectors.

2.3.1 imaging Quartet/Quartet-C/Solo Frames

To install the Quartet/Quartet-C/Solo label, follow these steps while referring to Figure 2.1.

1. Remove the screws associated with the SDA-122i connectors.

2. Carefully apply the label to the connectors.

3. Replace the screws making sure not to damage the label.

2.4 SDA-122i Electrical Installation

When connecting the SDA-122i to external equipment, make sure that all serial digital

connections are point-to-point.

For instance, there must be a point-to-point connection between

the source equipment and the 4:2:2 IN BNC. If a T-connector is used to connect other equipment,

the maximum specified cable length is no longer valid.

Also, make sure that the input and output serial cables have a maximum length of 275 m (900')

for signals up to 270 Mbps or 180m (600’) for signals up to 540 Mbps.

Refer to Figure 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 and to the following descriptions for a complete SDA-122i

installation.

•

••

• 4:2:2 IN - serial digital input

Connect a serial digital video signal, conforming to the SMPTE 259M-ABCD standard, or to the

proposed EN50 083-9 DBV-ASI standard (270 Mbps)

to the BNC labeled 4:2:2 IN. The SDA-122i

will automatically switch to the detected standard.

• 4:2:2 OUT - serial digital outputs

Connect destination equipment to any of the serial digital video output BNCs labeled 4:2:2 OUT.

All five outputs conform to the SMPTE 259M-ABCD or to the proposed EN50 083-9 DBV-ASI

standard (270 Mbps)
