MODULE OVERVIEW
The 7410 module is a stable timing source suitable for local reference generation for use
in broadcast, remote trucks and post-production. Four simultaneous HD tri-level sync
reference outputs are provided. Each output can each be set to a different HD standard.
The 7410 can operate from an internal precision frequency reference as a stand alone
master sync generator or lock to a PAL or NTSC video reference from an external source.
There are two video reference inputs on the 7410 module for maximum system flexibility.
The module can also lock to an external 10 MHz source such as an atomic standard or
GPS receiver for more precision.
Each of the four outputs can be timed with respect to the selected reference to any point
in the television frame. Timing adjustments are configured independently and the 7410
can be configured to output 525 and 625 standards simultaneously.
As shown in the block diagram below, the time base reference is selected from either the
Master reference or of of two Genlock (external) references. The selected reference passes
through a precision sync separator to derive the required sync components. The separated
sync signal provides the timing reference for the PLLs.
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), 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.

Digital, Analog and Audio Reference Generation and Distribution
Another application shown below, illustrates how the 7410 HD TLS Generator module
and the 5400 SPG/TSG module can be combined to provide complete digital, analog and
audio reference outputs which can then be distributed throughout a facility.

INSTALLATION
Plug the 7410 module into any one of the slots in the 3 RU frame or 1 RU frame. 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 on the next page for
cabling instructions. Note that unless stated otherwise, the 1 RU cabling explanations are
identical to those given in the 3 RU diagram.
