The 8995UDX is a compact, broadcast-quality, fiber-ready, up/down/crossconverter and synchronizer. Conversion is of the highest quality in all modes, with pixel-adaptive motion processing. In addition, the 8995UDX provides the most robust signal handling with the low hysteresis synchronizer, redundant reference, and perfect-picture mode of the 8985FS.

It is fully featured with color-space conversion and a powerful video proc. amp that includes RGB color correction with gamma and component adjustments with clip level controls on either HD or SD video. The user can also control hue, chroma, and luma similar to a traditional analog proc. amp.

Powerful embedded audio handling includes channel-level and Dolby E stream routing. PCM audio processing eliminates the clicks caused by the video synchronizer dropping or repeating frames and hot upstream video switching. VITC conversion and Closed Captioning are supported for same frame-rate conversions.

One of three types of optional SFP fiber optic submodules can be installed in the fiber optic rear cage connector to provide two fiber inputs (Dual Receiver), two fiber outputs (Dual Transmitter), or one fiber input and one fiber output (Transceiver).

Refer to the rear module pinout and the block diagram on the next page.

Synchronizing mode = in Minimum Delay Mode (synchronous input): Nominal: 1 frame (±1 pixel) User-adjustable range: 1 frame to 2 frames minus 5 lines

Additional adjustable delay: 0 to 6 additional frames

Conversion

Method: Motion adaptive

3:2/2:2 cadence: Automatic detection

Input: 1080i or 480i @ 59.94 Hz, 1080p @ 23.98, 1080sf @ 23.98 or 720p @ 59.94 Hz

Output choices: 1080i or 480i @ 59.94 Hz, 1080p @ 23.98, 1080sf @ 23.98 or 720p @ 59.94 Hz

•Adjustment: 0 to 1 frame in 1 SD pixel steps

Timecode and Closed Caption

VITC timecode and Closed Caption SD to HD or HD to SD translation: same frame rate and output line select for VITC and Closed Caption. NOTE: VITC and CC may not work accurately in 23.98 Hz 3:2 pulldown from higher frame rate conversion

Control And Monitoring

SNMP: Yes

Web page configuration: Yes Local configuration: No Newton support: Yes NetConfig support: Yes NetCentral support: Yes

Applications

•Where incoming feeds may be in either 1080, 720, or SD formats

•For live production where low latency conversion is required

•For conversion of signals with embedded audio

Ordering Information

This module can be mounted in a GeckoFlex frame but not in other 8900 series frames including Gecko-A or Gecko-V frames. As this module has no card-edge controls and in order to configure this module an 8900NET (Net Card) Network Interface module is required.
