Software updates are field-installed without any
need to remove the card from its frame.
A new manual is expediently released whenever a
card’s software is updated and specifications
and/or functionality have changed as compared
to an earlier version (a new manual is not
necessarily released if specifications and/or
functionality have not changed). A manual earlier

CAUTION
CAUTION
CAUTION
T o redu ce risk of electr ic shock do not remove line voltage service barrier cover on frame
equipment containing an AC power supply. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
This device is intended for environmentally controlled use only in appropriate video
terminal equipment operating environments.
This product is intended to be a component product of an openGear® frame. Refer to the
openGear frame Owner's Manual for important safety instructions regarding the proper
installation and safe operation of the frame as well as its component products.
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 only convection cooling.
The 9084 has a moderate power dissipation (15 W max.). As such, avoiding placing the
card adjacent to other cards with similar dissipation values if possible.
CAUTION
CAUTION
1-4 9084 PRODUCT MANUAL 9084-OM (V4.4)
If required, make certain Rear I/O Module(s) are installed before installing the 9084 into the
frame slot. Damage to card and/or Rear I/O Module can occur if module installation is
attempted with card already installed in slot.
If card resists fully engaging in r ear I/O module mating connector, check for alignment and
proper insertion in slot tracks. Damage to card and/or rear I/O module may occur if
improper card insertion is attempted.
Introduction 9084 Functional Description
9084 Functional Description
Figure 1-1 shows a functional block diagram of the 9084. The 9084 provides
HD/SD-SDI RGB color correction with frame synchronization that supports
all popular SD and HD video format s includin g 525i, 625i, 720 p, 720f, 1080i,
1080p, and 1080psF. Input video format is auto-detected by the card. The
9084 accepts either an HD SDI input (1.485 Gbit) or an SD SDI input (270
Mbit) and automatically equalizes for cable loss. The 9084 also provides
processing-bypassed reclocked SDI outputs.
Processed video is synchronized to either a frame-wide reference or a local
reference. For further flexibility in resolving system timing problems,
additional fixed delay can be added to the video. Ancillary Data (VANC) is
protected, and is passed from input to output ensuring data is not lost during
the frame sync operation.
9084 Input/Outputs
The 9084 provides the following video inputs and outputs:
• Inputs:
• HD/SD-SDI IN – dual-rate HD/SD-SDI input
• Outputs:
• HD/SD-SDI OUT – four dual-rate HD/SD-SDI buffered video
outputs
• RCK OUT – four dual-rate HD/SD-SDI reclocked buffered video
outputs

Introduction 9084 Functional Description
Color Corrector
The 9084 color corrector converts the YCbCr SDI input video to the 4:4:4
RGB color space (where the color correction is applied), and then back to
YCbCr SDI on the output. Controls are available to adjust each RGB level
independently for both white levels (gain) and black levels (offset). Gamma
can also be independently adjusted for each RGB channels. Various controls
can be ganged to provide adjustment for all three color channels
simultaneously.
Video Processor
The 9084 provides full video processing control (luma gain and lift, chroma
gain, and color phase) of the output video. The 9084 video processor also
provides white, black, and chroma clip control. Clipping can be applied with
either a hard or soft white clip and a lso a chroma saturation clip. Luma and
chroma gain controls can be ganged to provide adjustment for both gain
controls.
Frame Sync Function
AFD Inserter
This function p rovide s for fra me s ync co ntrol usin g e ither one of t wo ext ern al
EXT REF IN (1,2) reference sign als di stri buted wit h the ca rd fra me, or the inpu t
video as a frame sync reference.
This function allows horiz ontal and/or ver tica l of fset to be added bet ween the
output video and the frame sync reference.
A Reset Framesync function r esets the fra me sync following any horizontal or
vertical offset changes, clearing any buffered video and re-establishing the
frame sync .
In the event of input video loss of signal, this function provides for disabling
the video, going to a des ired color raster, or freezing to the last intact frame
(frame having valid SAV and EAV codes).
This function provides for assignment and insertion of AFD codes into the
SDI output video. Using this function, AFD codes in accordance with the
standard 4-bit AFD code designations can be applied to the output video.
This function checks for any existing AFD code within the received video
input. If a code is present, the code is displayed. When used in conjunction
with a separate downstream card capable of providing AFD-directed scaling,
the image can in turn b e scaled in accord ance with th e AFD coding embedd ed
by this card.
The function also allows the selection/changing of the AFD code and
ancillary data line number for the outputted AFD code.

Note: Although the OGCP-9000 Remote Control Panel can be used with the 9084,
the OGCP-9000/CC Remote Control Panel is specifically designed for use
with 9084 cards and provides the most intuitive and simplest interface of all
the methods described.
9084 Rear I/O Modules
The 9084 physically interfaces to system video connections at the rear of its
frame using a Rear I/O Module. All inputs and outputs shown in the 9084
Functional Block Diagram (Figure 1-1) enter and exit the card via the card
edge backplane connector. The Rear I/O Module breaks out the 9084 card
edge connections to BNC connectors that interface with other components
and systems in the signal chain. These required BNC connections are
provided by either an 8310-BNC or 8310-C-BNC frame (which both have a
built-in BNC connector backplane module), or by using an optional 9084
Rear I/O Module.
