Getting Started
Packaging
The shipping carton and packaging materials
provide protection for the module during transit.
Please retain the shipping cartons in case
subsequent shipping of the product becomes
necessary.
Product Description
The C AD 5131 is a high performance 12 Bit Video
A/D Converter for component analog YUV and Svideo signals and is designed primarily for
broadcast and professional applications.
One out of two sets of input signals can be
selected. The input Architecture is differential to
assure optimal resistance against distortion. 525/625
Input detection is automatic. Either an external
loop-through reference or the internal rack
reference (black burst signal) can be used to linesynchronize the two SDI outputs.
The C AD 5131 features a wide range of available
adjustments (via optional Rack Controller) basic
adjustments are possible using via the local multifunction switch and integrated display.
CardModules are installed in the series 5000 card
frame that can accommodate up to 10
CardModules. All modules are hot swappable and
Options include full redundant power and a range
of controller options.

Caution
Use static precautions when handling the
PCB. Static discharge could result in serious
damage to the module.
Connections
Video Connections
The C AD 5131 CardModule is configured with
standard 75 Ohm BNC connectors. Connection is
self-explanatory. We recommend the use of high
quality video cable for digital video connections to
reduce the risk of interference or errors due to
excessive cable attenuation. Some guidelines for
max cable length are shown below.
250m (820 feet) Belden 8281 (270Mbits/s)
Note. Due to the compact design of the
connection plate it will be necessary to use a
connection tool to secure the BNC video
connectors.
Reference Manual C AD 5131 Version1.1
Page 11
Installation
Caution
The CardModule is shipped in a
protective anti-static bag. Please take
suitable precautions to avoid static
discharge onto any part of the PCB or
components when handling module or
serious damage could result.
Each Card Module is supplied with a rear
connection panel and two mounting screws.
Please follow the following procedure for
installation of the card module into the Series 5000
Card Frame.
a) Select a slot in the card frame where the
CardModule will be located
b) Remove the blank connection panel from the
rear of the rack (if fitted)
c) Install the rear connection panel using the
screws supplied. Do not tighten the screws fully
d) Slide the card module into the card frame and
carefully check the CardModule easily
connects to the rear connection plate. The
card should fit easily and should not require
excessive force to insert, if you feel any
resistance, there could be something wrong
with the rear connection panel location. Do not
try and force the connection. Remove the rear
connection panel and check alignment with
the CardModule.
e) Insert and remove the CardModule a few times
to ensure correct alignment and then tighten
the two screws to secure the rear connection
plate

Settings and Control
The C AD 5131 has an integrated micro-controller,
which enables the module to be configured and
controlled locally using the multifunction switch and
4 character dot matrix display, or from remote
when using one of the optional controllers and
control software.
Once set, all settings are automatically saved in
non-volatile internal memory. (Flash ram) The
module will always recall the settings used prior to
power down.

Using the Local Display Menus
Making local adjustments to the module is done
using the multifunction switch and the integrated 4character dot matrix display (figure 3). The menu
system is layered, and navigation through the
system is done using the UP and DOWN functions of
the switch. ENTER is used to move between menu
levels and also enter a selection.
Navigation
Local Adjustments Available
All of the critical adjustments to the module are
accessible using the local display and multi function switch, these include:
• Input Signal A/B select
• Input YCrCb – YC mode select
• External / Rack Internal line sync reference
select
• Analog input filter on/off
• Genlock mode
• Luma-/ chroma filter settings
• Auto-/ manual gain control
• Test signal select
A set of extended adjustments is possible when
using a controller option and LYNX control software.
Adjustments (in addition to the basic adjustments
above) include:
Switch Function Operation
UP Move UP within a level
DOWN Move down within a level
ENTER Change levels / Make selection

• Adjustable Coring function
• Adjustable Contrast, Saturation, Brightness and
Hue
• Analog / digital clamp disable
• Automatic Gain Control mode reference select
• Luma / Chroma shaping filter for YC (S-Video)

• Maximum IRE adjust
Menu Structure
The Menu structure is defined in the next table, and
should be used when navigating through the
system.
Notes / Tips.
ENTER moves between Levels
UP/DOWN moves between items within the level
When you enter a new setting the system will jump
back one level in the menu system.
The “back” selection in the menu structure will take
you back one level when selected.
When an item is selected which has several setting
possibilities the first value displayed will be the value
currently stored in the system. The order of the
available settings for any menu item in the table
supplied does not represent the order he settings
will actually be displayed.
If left unattended, the menu will default to the root
display after a preset timeout.

Locate Function
For larger systems which may have multiple cards
of the same type in a single rack, or multiple rack
systems on a large central control system we have
added a useful utility which will help to visually
locate a suspect module quickly (When used in
conjunction with the optional control system and
software)
Once the specific module has been selected on
the control system there is a locate button on the
top of the GUI:
Locate Function in Control System
When Locate is selected the status indicator on the
GUI and the alarm LED will flash yellow in the
following continuous sequence.
3 short flashes…. Pause…. 3 short flashes …
Use of the locate function will not interfere with the
normal operation of the module.
For more details on this feature please check the
documentation supplied with the controller
software.
