8964DEC Four-Channel NTSC/PAL to SDI Decoder
Key Features
Four NTSC/PAL to 270 Mb/s SDI decoders •
On Screen Display (OSD)•
— Configuration information keyed onto
video output simplifies local card-edge
controls
— Signal inputs NTSC or PAL
— Supports NTSC with or without setup
Processing includes: clamping, AGC (sync •
tip referenced), ACC (burst referenced)
Reference input NTSC/PAL analog color •
black
Picture detail enhancement •
Four 270 Mb/s SDI outputs with •
independent:
— Line sync mode for horizontal timing
— Proc. amp controls
— Line-by-line VBI processing
— Test signal generator, includes color
bars and pathological signals
Options:•
— Frame synchronizer, offers full frame
output phasing
The 8964DEC offers four independent fullfunction decoders on a single Gecko series
card. Typical applications include cost-effective
analog conversion for a digital server, switcher,
or router. Up to 40 decoders can be housed in
only 2 RU of space.
The 8964DEC has a robust analog input
circuit, which easily accommodates noisy
signals such as satellite and microwave
links. Most adjustments to this card can be
performed on the module’s card-edge controls.
The on-screen display capability included with
each module greatly simplifies card-edge
configuration.
