8949MDA-CFR and 8949MDA-SFR Modules
Introduction
The 8949MDA-CFR or 8949MDA-SFR performs SD/HD equalization, and
reclocking for distribution of SD/HD signals among electrical connectors
and/or a fiber optic SFP device and downscaling of HD video signals to
SD- SDI video (-SFR) or analog video signals (-CFR) for monitoring appli
cations.
On the 8949MDA-SFR module with an SD-SDI video input, the module
will distribute the SD-SDI signal (including embedded audio) on all
outputs (distribution and monitoring). With an HD-SDI video input, the
module distributes the HD-SDI signal on the HD-SDI distribution outputs
(including embedded audio and HANC data – horizontal ancillary); the
downscaled monitoring SDI outputs do not pass embedded audio or
HANC data from the HD video input.
-
Features
The two models, 8949MDA-CFR (composite downscaler outputs) and
8949MDA-SFR (serial data interface downscaler outputs) must be installed
in a GeckoFlex frame and require the presence of an 8900WFR-R rear
module. Optical interface requires the presence of an optional fiber optic
SFP plug-in device.
The 8949MDA module features include:
• Multi-format HD/SD video on one electrical input and/or up to two
optical input/outputs (refer to Cabling on page 19),
• In HD input mode:
• Up to four reclocked HD electrical outputs and up to two reclocked
HD optical outputs,
• Up to four downscaled HD to SD or composite (SDI signals in the
case of 8949MDA-SFR or composite signals in the case of
8949MDA-CFR) electrical outputs,

Installation
Module Placement in the GeckoFlex Frame
Installation
The front and the rear modules are delivered together as a set:
8949MDA-CFR front module or 8949MDA-SFR front module with the
8900WFR-R rear module. Optional fiber optic SFP devices must be ordered
separately. The types of optional fiber optic SFP devices available are listed
in
Tab le 2 on page 17.
The 8949MDA-CFR and 8949MDA-SFR front modules can be plugged in
and removed from a GeckoFlex frame with power on. When power is
applied to the module, LED indicators reflect the initialization process (see
Power Up on page 22).
CAUTION Use anti-static precautions when installing and removing the optional fiber
optic SFP devices, see Optional Fiber Optic SFP Device Installation on
page 17.
There are ten rear and front slot locations in the 2 RU frame to accommodate
either audio or video modules (
into any one of the available GeckoFlex frame slots. The 8949MDA
modules require a single rear and corresponding front slot.
Note Use anti-static precautions when handling the module. As the module can be
changed when the GeckoFlex is powered on, before removing the cover,
please put an anti-static bracelet tied to a metal part of the frame.

Installation
Module Installation Precautions
Please read and follow the precautions listed below before installing the
front and rear modules and any fiber optic option SFP device:
• 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 fiber optic
SFP device option if used on the module.
• 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 43.
• If using a fiber optic SFP device on the fiber-ready module, handle it
carefully, use anti-static precautions, and read the Fiber Optic Cleaning
Requirement on page 17 before cabling.

Local Configuration
See Table 1 on page 14
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 the front module.
Local configuration of the 8949MDA-CFR and 8949MDA-SFR consists of
two DIP switches (S1 and S2) outlined in the lower left corner of
Refer to Ta bl e 1 on page 14 for setting S1 and S2. A summary of Local and

The 8949MDA-CFR/8949MDA-SFR configuration and monitoring can also
be performed using a web browser GUI interface or a networked Newton
Control Panel when the 8900NET Network Interface module is present in
the GeckoFlex frame (8900FFN). Each of these interfaces is described below.
8900NET Module Information
Refer to the 8900NET Network Interface Module Instruction Manual available
online in PDF format for information on the 8900NET Network Interface
Module and setting up and operating the GeckoFlex 8900 frame network.
Note Upgrade software and instructions for the 8900NET can be downloaded from
the Grass Valley web site.
Newton Control Panel Configuration
A Newton Control Panel (hard and/or soft version) can be interfaced to the
GeckoFlex frame over the local network. Refer to the documentation that
accompanies the Newton Modular Control System for installation, config
uration, and operation information.
Control panel access offers the following considerations for module configuration and monitoring:
• Ability to separate system level tasks from operation ones, minimizing
the potential for on-air mistakes.
• Ability to group modular products—regardless of their physical locations—into logical groups (channels) that you can easily manipulate
with user-configured knobs.
• Update software for applicable modules and assign frame and panel IP
addresses with the NetConfig Networking application.
• Recommended for real-time control of module configuration parameters, providing the fastest response time.
Note Not all module functions are available with the control panel, such as factory
default recalls.
Newton Control Panel parameters are listed in Ta bl e 10 on page 49.

There are a number of ways to monitor frame and module status. These
methods are summarized here. For more detailed information, refer to the
8900NET (Net Card) Network Interface Module Instruction Manual and the
8900 Gecko or 8900 GeckoFlex Frame Instruction Manuals.
All modular product documentation is available on-line in PDF format at

modules,
• SNMP traps, captured by Grass Valley’s NetCentral or another SNMP
Manager Application.
Note SNMP trap information is only available when an SNMP Agent has been
installed and configured.
External Frame Alarm
An external Frame Alarm output is available on pins 8 and 9 of the RS-232
connector on the rear of the frame. The Frame Alarm outputs a voltage
level indicating there is an alarm condition on the Module Health Bus or
one of the other frame components reported to the Frame Monitor module
in a Gecko 8900TF or GeckoFlex 8900FF frame or the 8900NET module in
an 8900TFN and GeckoFlex 8900FFN frame.
• The Module Health bus is a separate line on the frame motherboard
that provides a means for older or less capable modules (such as DAs
with no microprocessor) that cannot communicate over the Frame
(serial) bus to report warning and alarm conditions to the external
Frame Alarm. All media modules in the frame report a voltage level to
this line when a warning condition occurs on the module. The specific
warning or module location is not reported, only an indication that an
warning condition has occurred.
• Frame alarm reporting from other frame components can be enabled
and disabled using DIP switches on the Frame Monitor and 8900NET
module. For frames with an 8900NET module, the Frame Alarm
Reporting web page allows configuration of the alarms and warnings
that are reported to this external Frame Health Alarm.

LED Reporting
Web Browser Interface
LEDs on the front of media modules, the Frame Monitor or 8900NET modules, and the front covers of the 8900TF/TFN and GeckoFlex FF/FFN
frames indicate status of the frame and the installed power supplies, fans
in the front covers, and module status. (The 8900TX-V/A and GeckoFlex
8900FX frames have no LED indicators on the front cover.)
• LED reporting from the modules in the frame to the 8900NET module
is configurable using the 8900NET LED Reporting web page.
• The Status LEDs for this module are described in Operation Indicator
LEDs on page 22. LEDs for the 8900NET module are described in the
8900NET (Net Card) Network Interface Instruction Manual.
The 8900NET module controls a web browser GUI that indicates frame and

The Gecko 8900 Series system uses the Simple Network Monitoring Protocol (SNMP) internet standard for reporting status information to remote
monitoring stations. When SNMP Agent software is installed on the
8900NET module, enabled status reports are sent to an SNMP Manager
such as the Grass Valley’s NetCentral application.
Status reporting for the frame is enabled or disabled with the configuration

Power-up Diagnostics Failure
Troubleshooting
The 8949MDA modules make extensive use of surface-mount technology
and programmed parts to achieve compact size and adherence to
demanding technical specifications. Circuit modules should not be ser
viced in the field unless otherwise directed by Customer Service.
If the module has not passed self-diagnostics, do not attempt to troubleshoot. Return the unit to Grass Valley (see Module Repair below).
Electronic Circuit Breaker
Service
-
The electronic circuit breaker works during a fault condition or an overcurrent which stops the module.
Remove the module and replace it in the frame. If the problem persists,
please refer to the Grass Valley Customer Service.
Module Repair
If the module is still not operating correctly, replace it with a known good
spare and return the faulty module to a designated Grass Valley repair
depot. Call your Grass Valley representative for depot location.
Refer to Contacting Grass Valley on page 4 at the front of this document for
information on contacting Grass Valley Customer Service.
