MODULE OVERVIEW
The 5155 Dual Analog Video /AES DA module provides analog distribution of composite
video signals, NTSC and PAL and AES audio. The 5155 is a dual distribution amplifier
with two inputs; each input distributed to four outputs.
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.
Each input signal passes through an input buffer circuit then goes on to the gain adjust
circuitry as shown in the block diagram below. 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 5155 DA can be utilized to distribute master reference
sources throughout a facility. The master reference genlock signals are inserted into the
5155 Ch A and Ch B inputs then distributed to four outputs each. The Avenue remote
control system can be set up to report an alarm if there is a loss of the house reference.

INSTALLATION
Plug the 5155 module into any one of the slots in the 1 RU or 3 RU frames 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.

Connect the analog video
signal sources to be distributed
to the Input A and Input B
BNCs.
NOTE: These inputs are selfterminated on the module, if the
module is removed, the input
will become unterminated.
Connect four analog
output destinations to
the Out A 1-4 BNCs.
The 15-pin connector is not
used in this application.
