MODULE OVERVIEW
The 5150 module provides analog distribution of composite video signals, NTSC and PAL
and AES audio. Nine buffered composite video outputs can be accessed from the one
analog video input source.
Input signal validity is displayed locally and can be monitored through the Avenue remote
control options. Gain can be adjusted locally as well as remotely. Remote control is
accessed via the optional Avenue Touch Screen Control Panel and Avenue PC Control
Applications.
As shown in the block diagram below, the signal passes through an input buffer circuit
then goes on to the gain adjust circuitry. Overall gain can be adjusted locally with the trim
pot on the module front panel or remotely with one of the remote applications as
explained in the Front Panel Controls and Indicators section of this data pack.
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 the module ID information (slot location,
software version and board revision) and signal presence detection which can be reported
by the optional frame System Control module to the optional interfaces available.

APPLICATIONS
As shown in the example below, the 5150 DA can be utilized to distribute a master
reference source throughout a facility. The master reference genlock signal is inserted into
the 5150 input then distributed to up to nine destinations. The Avenue remote control
system can be set up to report an alarm if there is a loss of the house reference.
The application below shows the 5150 used a video presence detector. The Program
Output signal from a master control device is fed to the 5150 input and then the output of
the DA is sent to the transmitter. An alarm can be set in the Avenue control system to
send an alert if the sync signal to the transmitter is lost.

Three 5150 DAs can be utilized as RGB distribution amplifiers as shown in the example
below. The RGB signals from a camera can be distributed throughout the facility to a
switcher, monitor and other equipment.
