Safety Summary

Warnings

! WARNING !

Cautions

CAUTION

T o re duce 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.

If required, make certain Rear I/O Module(s) is installed before installing the 9363 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.

CAUTION

9363-OM (V1.2) 9363 PRODUCT MANUAL 1-3

If card resists fully engaging in rear I/O mod ule mating connec tor, 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.

9363 Functional Description

Figure 1-1 shows a functional block diagram of the 9363. In addition to providing four reference output signal pairs, the 9363 also provides a synchronized AES/word clock output.

The 9363 can select from external references from openGear™ frame reference distrib uted signals received via a rear module BNC connector.

The 9363 is compatible with the input formats and rates (including AES and basic word clock signals), and provides multiple output formats and rates as listed in Table 1-1. Using the card’s internal generator source, the 9363 can also generate reference outputs without using any external reference.

Available Output Formats/Rates

Table 1-1 lists the available output formats/rates for input references supported by the 9363. Note in Table 1-1 that when converting between formats and rates, various lock states exist for different conversions (for example, when going from a progressive-format reference to an interlaced format output, the card cannot provide an output that is assured always to indicate an odd or even field). Described below are the three types of lock states provided for various conversions provided by the card.

Output is synchronized with source reference in bot h fram e and field (where applicable)

Field Lock

When an interlaced format is deri ved from a progressive source, field lock is achieved. However, timing does not reliably mark odd or even field.

Four pairs of outputs are provided, with each pair

reference outputs. Each of the outputs can be independently configured for any rate/format related to the source reference format, and can additionally be independently delayed or advanced (in terms of vertical lines or horizontal pixels) relative to the source timing. If the card internal reference clock source is used, the four output pairs operate as described above, with the internal source instead serving as the timing basis.
