Installation

Overview

The Extron HDSDI-ACR 100 converts a high definition (HD) serial
digital interface (SDI) input (SMPTE-292M) to either analog component
or RGB video. The converter supports the 720p, 1080i, and 1080p HDTV
rates. The 1080p rate is limited to a maximum 30 Hz refresh rate and
includes 1080p segmented frame 23.94/24. DIP switches select between
RGB and component video, and, for component video output, between
bi-level and tri-level sync, and sync on the Y output or on all outputs.

The Extron SDI-AVR 100 converts an SDI (4:2:2) video input at the
270 Mbs rate to analog video. When an SDI input is applied, the
converter produces simultaneous composite and S-video outputs, and
either component (Y, R-Y, and B-Y) or RGB video. A DIP switch selects
between a component or RGB video output. The SDI-AVR 100 accepts
NTSC, PAL, and Betacam (Beta 50/60), autodetects the format, and
deserializes the input. The converter can output NTSC or PAL color
bars, which are DIP switch selectable.

Figure 1 — Typical HDSDI-ACR 100 and SDI-AVR 100
applications

The input signal is equalized for distances of 330 feet (100 meters)
(HDSDI-ACR 100) or 1000 feet (305 meters) (SDI-AVR 100) on high
quality cable such as Extron SHR cable. A reclocked loop-through
allows the HDSDI/SDI input to be sent to other equipment.

The user must select between an RGB or component video output using
a DIP switch. The converters output separate H and V sync signals and
composite sync simultaneously. Selecting the sync-on-green output
requires changing a DIP switch position.

The converters have internal switching power supplies.

Installation

1. For optional rack mounting, mount the converter on one side of a
19" 1U Universal Rack Shelf (Extron part #60-190-01) (figure 2).

Set Up switch (SDI-AVR 100 only) — Set this switch to the On position

to output an NTSC signal that is on the 7.5 IRE pedestal. Set the
switch off to return the signal to the normal level.

Beta switch (SDI-AVR 100 only) — Set this switch to the On position to

set the color level of the YUV output to the Betacam level. Set the
switch off to restore the YUV output to the normal level. If a
Betacam signal is input, the switch should be set to On to output
the Betacam format. Otherwise, the output will be NTSC or PAL.

Color Bars switch (SDI-AVR 100 only) — Set this switch to the On

position to output NTSC or PAL color bars. Set the switch off for
the converted video input.

NTSC/PAL switch (SDI-AVR 100 only) — Used in conjunction with

the Color Bars switch only, set this switch to the On position to

output PAL color bars. Set the switch off for NTSC color bars.
