Grass valley 8964FS DATASHEET

8964FS Four-Channel SDI Frame Synchronizer 43

Key Features

•Four 270 Mb/s frame synchronizers

•One output per input

•Looping color black reference input

•Automatic 525/625 lines selection

•Output timing locked to reference input and adjustable in 37 ns steps over a full frame

•Passes or blanks horizontal ancillary data (HANC)

•Passes or blanks vertical interval ancillary data (VANC)

•Monitors its input signals for EDH errors

•Inserts new EDH on output

•Hot swappable

•Freeze mode

•On-screen display simplifies local configuration and control

•Compatible with Ethernet-based Newton control system

The 8964FS provides a very compact and low-cost alternative to the 8981FS by providing four complete SDI frame synchronizers. Using the latest technology enables the 8964FS to achieve unsurpassed density, providing 40 full featured frame synchronizers in just 2 RU. This module can also operate in a fixed delay mode with no reference required. In either mode,

the output can be phased relative to input or reference up to one frame in increments of 37 ns. All adjustments can be performed on the module’s card edge controls. The onscreen display capability greatly simplifies card-edge configuration.
