MODULE OVERVIEW

The 5130 module is a digital reclocking distribution amplifier (DA) providing one serial
digital input with four serial digital outputs for distributing 270 Mbs serial digital video.
Composite encoding provides four 8-bit composite monitor outputs for monitor viewing
and distribution. Setup on the monitor output is user selectable with an on-board jumper.
Reclocking signal processing performed on the input data stream provides improved jitter
performance and cable equalization of up to 300 meters.

As shown in the block diagram below, the serial input signal passes through a serial
receiver circuit where cable equalization and input monitoring is done. This output passes
to the reclocking circuitry and is then AC coupled to the four serial outputs. The reclocked
video is also routed through a deserializer and is then encoded to composite video for
feeding the four monitor outputs. The input standard (525/625) is detected automatically.

Power is derived from the ± 12 volt frame power. It is regulated to the required +5 volts
for the module by on-board regulator. 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), equalization (cable length), and power status 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.

APPLICATIONS
Serial DA with Composite Monitor Outputs

The 5130 is ideal for applications requiring both serial distribution and composite moni­toring. The application shown in the block diagram below illustrates how the 5130
module can distribute serial digital video to digital destinations while providing composite
monitoring of these signals with a single module.

INSTALLATION

Plug the 5130 module into any one of the slots 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 below for cabling instruc­tions. Note that unless stated otherwise, the 1 RU cabling explanations are identical to
those given in the 3 RU diagram.
