A Word of Thanks

Overview

Congratulations on choosing the openGearTM 9011 Standard Definition D/A 10-bit SDI to Analog
Composite, Y/C, RGB and Component. The 9011 is part of a full line of modular conversion gear for

broadcast TV environments. The Cobalt Digital openGear
encoders, audio embedders and de-embedders, distribution amplifiers, format converters, and much
more. Cobalt openGear
well into the future.

Should you have questions pertaining to the installation or operation of your 9011, please contact us at
the numbers listed on the back cover of this manual. We are happy to help with any questions regarding
this or any other openGear

The 9011is a high quality standard definition digital to analog converter for converting 525/625 4:2:2
SDI signals to analog Composite, Y/C and Component signals (YPbPr or RGB). The 9011 auto­detects the line input standard and outputs the corresponding NTSC or PAL standard. The user can
configure the default PAL outputs to be PAL-B/D/G/H/I, PAL N or PAL 60 and NSTC M or N.
Pedestal selection can be enabled or disabled for NTSC operation.

The 9011 can be externally configured to three different analog output configurations: all Composite,
dual Composite with Y/C or Composite with Component. The 9011 supports four different Component
output modes: BetaCam™, MII™, SMPTE/N10 and RGB. The encoding process is 10-bit with
sample up-conversion from 4:2:2 to 8:8:8 (2x output mode) or 16:16:16 (4x output mode). Full user
digital processing (proc.) controls are available to the end user for adjusting black level, Y Gain,
Saturation and Hue. Advanced controls include VBI Blanking, line by line VBI Pedestal control,

extended filtering, DNR and Gamma configuration. All adjustments can be saved to non-volatile
memory or Factory defaults can be restored. A De-jitter VCXO is included to reduce input jitter from
high frequencies down to 2Hz.

The 9011 has four reclocked digital output copies of the input SDI signal or three when the Genlock
input is used, and one BNC reserved for Black Burst input. The user must adjust the SDI source’s H­Phase for horizontal sync alignment. A full 360 degrees of SCH phase is user adjustable on the 9011.

The input and outputs of the 9011 are the following:

Inputs:

 One 10-bit SD-SDI video input
 One black burst reference input for color framing purposes

Outputs:

 Four reclocked SD-SDI video outputs
 Four analog SD video outputs

Color Framing

Although an SD-SDI signal ca rries more information than a composite si gnal, it does not properly
encode the SCH (Sub-Carrier to Horizontal) phase of the original composite signal. SCH phase is a
measure of the relationship of the start of the color burst to the start of the horizontal sync. In NTSC
each field has an SCH phase of 90° more than the previous field, thus the SCH sequence repeats every
four fields. Since each SDI field encodes the field type (odd or even) but not the SCH phase, a given
video encoder cannot recreate the SCH phase without a reference signal. This creates problems when
trying to align the signals to the inputs of certain switching device that rely on the color phase being
unified across channels.

The 9011 gets around this problem by accepting reference on either of the two frame inputs, or on a
dedicated BNC on the rear IO module (rear module RM20-9011-A only). When reference is detected,
the card will automatically ensure that the SCH phase of the output matches that of the reference signal.
The reference must be synchronous with the input video for this to work, due to the nature of the
comparison.

There is a control to adjust the offset between output SCH phase and detected reference SCH phase. It
is not needed in most applications.

Software Version

 This manual is written for software release number 1.1.

Static Discharge

Whenever handling the card and other related equipment, please observe all static discharge
precautions as described in the following note:

ESD

Susceptibility

Unpacking

Unpack each card you received from the shipping container, and check the contents against the packing
list to ensure that all items are included. If any items are missing or damaged, contact your sales
representative or Cobalt Digital directly.

Static discharge can cause serious damage to sensitive
semiconductor devices. Avoid ha ndling circuit boards in high
static environments such as carpeted areas, and when wearing
synthetic fiber clothing. Always exercise proper ground ing
precautions when working on circuit boards and related
equipment.

9011 Owner’s Manual •••• (V 1.1) Page 10 of 22

Rear Module Installation (Optional)

If you are installing the card in a 8310-C-BNC or 8310-BNC frame (one with a 100 BNC rear module
installed across the entire back plane), skip this section.

If you are installing the card into a slot with no rear module, you should have ordered and received an
appropriate 9011 rear module. You will need to install it in your frame before you can connect cables.

Use the following steps to install a rear module in a frame:

1. On the rear of the frame, locate the card frame slot.

2. As shown in Figure 2, seat the bottom of the rear module in the seating slot at the

base of the frame’s back plane.

Figure 2. Rear Module Installation

3. Align the top hole of the rear module with the screw hole on the top edge of the

frame back plane.

4. Using a Phillips driver and the supplied screw, fasten the rear module to the frame

back plane. Do not over tighten.

All modules are installed using the same method above.

Rear Modules Available for 9011

This section provides instructions for connecting cables to 9011 rear modules. Connect the input and
output cables according to the appropriate following diagram. Split rear module RM20-9011-A/S
allow two cards to be installed in adjacent slots.

Board Installation

Use the following steps to install the card in the frame:

1. Refer to the frame product manual to ensure that the frame is properly installed

according to instructions.

Warning

Heat and power distribution requirements within a frame may dictate
specific slot placement of cards. Cards with many heat-producing
components should be arranged to avoid areas of excess heat build-up,
particularly in frames using convection cooling.

2. After selecting the desired frame installation slot, hold the card by the edges and

carefully align the card edges with the slots in the frame. Then, fully insert the card
into the frame until the rear connection plugs are properly seated on the midplane and
rear modules.

3. Connect the input and output cables according to the diagram for the rear module

being used. The inputs are internally terminated with 75 Ohms. It is not necessary to
terminate unused outputs.

This completes the procedure for installing the card in the frame.

reserved for future use

Reference Configuration and Termination

The 9011 can use either a reference connected to the openGear™ frame, or a reference connected

directly to BNC 2 to align the SCH phase of the output video. To use BNC 2 as the reference, set S12 to BNC-

2. To use the openGear™ frame’s reference, set S12 to FRAME and then select which of the two frame
references to be used using S11. It is important to note that the 9011 does not operate as a frame synchronizer.
The output video timing will always match the SDI input timing.

Factory Default Settings

The factory default settings are as follows

1) S1.1-3 Output is composite on all ports

2) S1.4 - Color is On

3) S1.5 – Test Pattern is Off

4) S1.6 – Setup is On

5) S1.7 – Output Sample Mode is 16:16:16

6) S1.8 – De-Jitter Filter is On

1. Visual Review  Performing a quick visual check may reveal many problems, such

as connectors not properly seated or loose cables. Check the module, the frame, and
any associated peripheral equipment for signs of trouble.

2. Power Check  Check the power indicator LED on the distribution frame front

panel for the presence of power. If the power LED is not illuminated, verify that the
power cable is connected to a power source and that power is available at the power
main. Confirm that the power supplies are fully seated in their slots. If the power
LED is still not illuminated, replace the power supply with one that is verified to
work.

3. Reseat the Card in the Frame  Eject the card and reinsert it in the frame.

4. Check Control Settings  Refer to the Installation and Operation sections of the

manual and verify all user-adjustable component settings.

5. Input Signal Status  Verify that source equipment is operating correctly and that a

valid signal is being supplied.

6. Output Signal Path  Verify that destination equipment is operating correctly and

receiving a valid signal.

7. Module Exchange  Exchanging a suspect module with a module that is known to

be working correctly is an efficient method for localizing problems to individual
modules.
