8949MDA-CXF and 8949MDA-SXF Modules

Introduction

The 8949MDA-CXF or 8949MDA-SXF module performs HD/SD equalization and reclocking for distribution of SD/HD signals. It also provides four dedicated downscaled electrical outputs for viewing the input video in SD-SDI format (with the 8949MDA-SXF module) or composite format (with the 8949MDA-CXF module), with aspect ratio controls for down scaled HD video on both models.

The 8949MDA-CXF module will distribute the original SD-SDI or HD-SDI input signal on four dedicated electrical outputs as well as up to two optional fiber optic outputs. The input signal from one electrical input or one of two optional fiber optic inputs is downscaled to composite video and distributed from four dedicated electrical outputs. Controls are pro vided for setting the aspect ratio of downscaled HD video for the desired monitor viewing. A color bars test signal may be enabled and a control is provided for enabling or disabling setup on NTSC outputs.

The 8949MDA-SXF module will distribute the original SD-SDI or HD-SDI input signal on four dedicated electrical outputs as well as up to two optional fiber optic outputs. The input signal from one electrical input or one of two optional fiber optic inputs is downscaled to SD-SDI video and distributed from four dedicated electrical outputs. Only the EDH CRC packet data from the original video input is included in the downscaled output signal. Controls are provided for setting the aspect ratio of down scaled HD video for the desired monitor viewing.

The aspect ratio controls include Anamorphic, Letterbox, 4x3 Center Cut, or 14x9 Center Cut. Aspect ratio controls are only available when an HD input signal is being downscaled.

Fiber optic interfaces can be added by ordering one of three types of optional SFP Fiber optic submodule kits to add two fiber inputs (Dual Receiver), two fiber outputs (Dual Transmitter), or one fiber input and one fiber output (Transceiver). The optional SFP strap-mount optical sub module device is mounted on the module circuit board and must be ordered separately. See

8949MDA-CXF/-SXF — Instruction Manual 9

Ta bl e 2 on page 16 for submodule types.

Introduction

Local Configuration

Installation

The front and the rear modules are delivered together as a set: 8949MDA-CXF front module with the 8900WFR-XFR rear module or 8949MDA-SXF front module with 8900WFR-XFR rear module. Fiber optic submodules are optional and must be ordered separately. Fiber optic sub module options available are listed in Tab le 2 on page 16.

The 8949MDA-CXF and 8949MDA-SXF 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 25).

CAUTION Use anti-static precautions when installing and removing the optional fiber

optic submodule, see Fiber Optics Submodule Overview on page 16.

If there is no 8900NET (Net Card) 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 modules consists of two DIP switches (S1 and S2) highlighted in local controls. A summary of Local and Remote (web page and Newton Control Panel) parameters is provided in

Figure 2 and Tab le 1 on page 12 for using S1 and S2.

Module Placement in the GeckoFlex Frame

There are ten rear and front slot locations in the 2 RU frame to accommodate audio/video modules (Figure 3). The 8949MDA-CXF/-SXF module set may be plugged into any one of the available GeckoFlex frame slots. The module requires a single rear 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.

Figure 3. GeckoFlex Frame

Installation

8949MDA-CXF/-SXF — Instruction Manual 13

Installation

Module Installation Precautions

Please read and follow the precautions listed below before installing the front and rear modules, and any fiber optic option submodules:

• 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 or heel strap tied to a metal part of the frame.

• Install the rear module first, then the fiber optic submodule option (if used) on the back of the front module circuit board, then install the front module.

Note If using onboard configuration, set the configuration switches described in

Configuration Switches S1 and S2 on page 12 first before installing the front

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. Do not use an electric screwdriver. Refer to the rear retainer screw torque specification in the

page 50.

Mechanical section of Tab le 5 on

14 8949MDA-CXF/-SXF — Instruction Manual

Rear Module Installation

To install the rear module, refer to Figure 4 and the instructions below:

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 (newer model frames only) or a 2 mm (5/64”) hex screwdriver. Do not remove the screws.

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 needlenose pliers or

the retainer clip into the slots in the blank cover and pulling it off.

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

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

module and push down to seat the retainer clip.

Installation

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 specification is 4-5 inch lb/0.45-0.6 Nm). Do not force or torque the screws too tightly. Clips should not bend or bow.

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

cover installed.

Restore upon Install checkbox on any

When the Restore upon Install checkbox on any media module Slot Config web page has been selected, the current configuration from that module is saved in slot memory on the 8900NET module. This allows the current module to be removed and when another module of the same part number, and software version is installed, the configuration saved to the 8900NET module will be downloaded to the installed module. The checkbox must be selected before the current module with the saved con figuration is removed.

Note Make sure all modules of the same model type are running the same software

version and have the same part number silk-screened on the printed circuit board. Downloading a configuration to a module with a different software version or part number can produce unexpected results.

8949MDA-CXF/-SXF — Instruction Manual 47

Status Monitoring

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 this link:

www.grassvalley.com/docs/modular

The main status monitoring methods include the following:

• External frame alarm output on the rear of the 8900 frame with

• LEDs on the Frame, 8900NET module, and individual frame media

• Web browser status reporting for each frame component, and

reporting from the Module Health Bus and other frame status alarm reports,

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.

48 8949MDA-CXF/-SXF — Instruction Manual

LED Reporting

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 25. LEDs for the 8900NET module are described in the

8900NET (Net Card) Network Interface Instruction Manual.

Web Browser Interface

The 8900NET module controls a web browser GUI that indicates frame and module status on the following web pages:

Status Monitoring

• Frame Status web page – reports overall frame and module status in

colored graphical and text formats. Refer to Figure 16 on page 29 for an example.

•Module Status web page (Figure 18 on page 33) – shows specific input

and reference signal configuration error status to the module along with module status and information (part number, serial number, hardware version, software/firmware/boot versions, and Asset number (as assigned on the Slot Config web page).

• A Status LED icon on each web page reflects the module status on the

module Status web page where warnings and faults are displayed and is a link to the module Status web page.

SNMP Reporting

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 DIP switches on the 8900NET module. Most module status reporting items can be enabled or disabled on individual configuration web pages.

The 1310 nm Dual Transmitter (SFP-13103G-M1DTX) and Transceiver (SFP-13103G-M1TRX) require no attenu-

ation between fiber transmitter and receiver connections at any length.

Attenuation Requirements

Some shorter length cable runs will require attenuation to prevent overdriving the receiver causing bit errors to occur on the fiber link. Use the following guidelines for adding attenuation:

• The Dual Transmitter requires no attenuation between fiber transmitter and receiver connections at any cable lengths.

• All CWDM devices used in a point-to-point configuration with a cable run from 0-20 km (12.4 miles), must be attenuated by 5 dB between fiber transmitter and receiver connections.

• CWDM devices used with 8939FCA modules for a mux/demux configuration with a cable run from 0-12 km (7.5 miles), must be attenuated by 3 dB between 8939CFA COM ports.
