8947RDA-D/-FR SD/HD Reclocking DA Modules

Introduction

This manual covers installation, configuration, and operation of the
8947RDA-D Dual SD/HD Reclocking DA and the 8947RDA-FR SD/HD
Reclocking Fiber Ready DA, both of which must be installed in a Grass
Valley GeckoFlex frame.

The 8947RDA-D is a dual SD/HD re-clocking distribution amplifier with
automatic format detection. It provides four (in dual mode) to eight (in
single mode) reclocked outputs and can equalize up 125 meters of Belden
1694A cable for HD-SDI. It can be used to distribute either SD-SDI or
HD-SDI making it ideal for mixed format applications or installations
where an upgrade is planned. It requires the 8900WE-R rear module.

The 8947RDA-FR is a fiber-ready reclocking distribution amplifier with
automatic format detection. It provides eight reclocked electrical pouts and
can equalize up to 125 meters of Belden 1694A cable for HD-SDI. In addi
tion, the module supports fiber optic inputs and outputs when an optional
fiber optic SFP device is installed.

-

One of three SFP devices can be used: Dual Transmitter (two fiber optic out­puts), Dual Receiver (two fiber optic inputs), or Transceiver (one fiber optic
input and one fiber optic output). It requires the 8900WFR-R rear module.

The modules can also distribute eight non-inverted DVB-ASI outputs
making them ideal for receiving signals from distant downlinks or trans
mitting to remote uplinks.

Installation

Installation

The front and the rear modules are delivered together as a set: 8947RDA-D
front module with the 8900WE-R rear module or the 8947RDA-FR front
fiber-ready module with 8900WFR-R rear module. The optional fiber optic
SFP device used on the 8947RDA-FR is ordered and shipped separately.

The front modules can be plugged in and removed from a GeckoFlex frame
with power on without disrupting operation on adjacent running modules.
When power is applied to the module, LED indicators reflect the initializa
tion process (see Power Up on page 24).

Installation of the 8947RDA module set is a process of:

1. Placing the 8900WE-R or 8900WFR-R rear module in a rear frame slot,

2. Configuring the local onboard settings if not using an 8900NET (Net

Card) (see Local Configuration on page 14),

3. Placing the front module in the corresponding front slot, and

-

4. Installing an optional Fiber Optic SFP device in the 8947RDA-FR

module rear cage if being used.

Module Placement in the GeckoFlex Frame

There are ten front and rear cell locations in the 2 RU GeckoFlex frame

Figure 1) to accommodate either audio, analog and digital video modules.

(
The 8947RDA module set may be plugged into any one of the available
GeckoFlex frame slots. It requires a single rear slot.

Installation

Module Installation Precautions

Please read and follow the precautions listed below before installing the
front and rear modules and any optional fiber optic SFP device
(8947RDA-FR models only):

• Use standard anti-static procedures during installation. As modules
can be installed or removed when the GeckoFlex frame is powered up,
before removing the cover, please use an anti-static bracelet tied to a
metal part of the frame.

• Install the rear module first, then the front module, then the optional
fiber optic SFP device if being used on the 8947RDA-FR.

• When installing or removing a rear module, loosen or tighten the
screws holding the retainer clips to the frame manually with the
retainer clip tool provided inside the front cover of the frame or use a
2 mm (5/64”) hex screwdriver. Please do not use an electric screw­driver.

Note On newer 751- version GeckoFlex frames, a Rear Retainer Clip removal tool

and 2 extra retainer clips and screws for installing them are provided on the
inside of the frame cover.

• Make every effort to leave the screws holding the retainer clips in place
(do not remove them completely). They are very small and can easily
drop into other equipment causing a shorting hazard. (Two turns of the
screw should be enough to loosen the screws, 3 turns or more will
remove it.)

• When installing a rear module, tighten the screws on the retainer clips
just until snug. Do not apply more force than is necessary to seat the
rear module. Refer to the

page 53.

• If using an optional fiber optic SFP device on the 8947RDA-FR fiber
ready module, handle it carefully, use anti-static precautions, and read
the Fiber Optic Cleaning Requirement on page 18 before cabling.

Rear Module Installation

8444_23r0

Use retainer clip or
needlenose pliers
to pull out blank after
removing retainer clips

1. To remove a blank rear adapter cover (or a rear module already

present), manually loosen the two screws holding each retainer clip on
the rear adapter cover or rear module to the frame with the retainer clip
tool provided inside the front cover of the frame (751- model frames
only) or a 2 mm (5/64”) hex screwdriver.

Note To remove a rear module already installed, follow the same steps. It is helpful

to first remove the front module so the rear can be pulled out more easily.

1. After loosening the retainer clip screws, pull up on each retainer and

completely remove it, leaving the screws in place.

2. Remove the blank rear adapter cover by inserting the retainer clip tool

or needlenose pliers into the slots in the blank cover and pulling it off
(Figure 2).

3. Insert the rear module into the empty slot, guiding it carefully into

place.

Installation

4. Replace each retainer clip over the two screws on both sides of the

module and push down to seat the retainer clip.

5. Tighten the two screws on each retainer clip just until they come into

contract with the retainer clip then tighten about a 1/4 turn more
(maximum torque is 4-5 inch-lb/0.45-0.6Nm). Do not force or torque
the screws too tightly. The clips should not bend or be bowed.

Note All unused rear slots in a GeckoFlex frame should have a blank rear adapter

cover installed.

Front Module Configuration

If you have an 8900NET module (Net Card) in your frame and will be con­figuring the module remotely with a web browser or the Newton Control
Panel, you may configure and monitor the module remotely over the
network with the web browser.

If you do not have an 8900NET module in the GeckoFlex frame for remote
monitoring and configuration, you will need to configure the module using
the local onboard controls before installing it in the frame.

Do this configuration before installing the front module into the frame.

Local Configuration

Local configuration of either model 8947RDA consists of two DIP switches
(S1 and S2) highlighted in the lower left corner of

on page 15 for configuring the 8947RDA-D and for Tab le 2 on page 16 for

configuring the 8947RDA-FR.
