2000GEN Genlock Timing Module

Introduction

The 2000GEN Genlock Timing Module locks to reference black burst and
provides clock and pulse timing references for the applicable modules in
Kameleon Series frames.

Key features of the 2000GEN module include:

• Support for NTSC, PAL-B reference input signal,

•A low-jitter 27 MHz reference clock generator,

•A generated common reference pulse stream containing:

•Reference field pulse,

• Frame bit,

•Color-frame bit,

•AES 5 frame sequence bits,

•Differential LVDS (low voltage differential signaling) lines that dis­tribute signals to each front module slot,

•Reference blackburst locked with burst lock PLL as default, and

•Remote control and monitoring support.

Installation

Installation

Module Placement in the Frame

The 2000GEN module can be plugged in and removed from a Kameleon
Series frame with power on. When power is applied to the module, LED
indicators reflect the initialization process (see

Power Up

on page 8).

There are six cell locations in central control module section of the 3 RU
frame to accommodate network and reference modules. The 2000GEN
module plugs into Slot 15 (see Figure 1). The 1 RU frame has two central
control module slots. Slot 6 is used for the 2000GEN module.

Install the module by inserting it into the appropriate slot of the frame.

Verify that the module connector seats properly against the midplane
connector.

Cabling

3 RU Frame

Cabling to the 2000GEN module is done on the BNCs on the rear of the
frame. Refer to Figure 2 for a detailed illustration of the rear connections
referenced below.

Reference Inputs

The 2000GEN will accept any of the video standards listed in the Input
specifications in Table 1 on page 17. Connect a video input to the Reference
BNC. In the 3 RU frame, terminate the looping connector if the signal is not
looped to other equipment.
