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 DA 5005 is a 5 channel Monitoring 8 bit video
D/A converter designed primarily for broadcast
and professional applications.
The Module accepts 5 SDI input signals and
provides one CVBS output per channel. The outputs
can be switched to a test signal output (color bars).
The C DA 5005 has a variety of features, which
includes:
• PAL or NTSC operation, auto detect
• Internal color bars
• Internal 2x over sampling (27MHz)
• Local DIP-switches and LED's for control and
status monitoring.
• Microprocessor controlled.
• Remote control interface.
The module has a built in micro-controller with local
controls, status and alarm indicators and well as
internal flash ram for storing setups. Any operational
parameters configured and stored into the module
are recalled when powered up. Remote control
and remote status monitoring is possible when using
the optional rack controller
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 DA 5005 CardModule is configured with
standard 75 Ohm BNC connectors. Connection is
self-explanatory. We recommend the use of high
quality video cables 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.

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 DA 5005 has an integrated micro-controller,
which enables the module to be configured and
controlled locally using integral 8 position dip switch
and the multifunction switch 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.
Figure 3 – Switch and LED locations
Reference Manual C DA 5005 Version1.0
Page 13
Control Modes
There are two modes for the use of the dip switches
and the corresponding LEDs:
Channel Status Mode:
In this mode the Dip Switches are used to switch
the test signal (color bars) ON or OFF for the
corresponding channel. The corresponding LED is
then GREEN for “Signal Present”, YELLOW for “Test
Signal ON” and RED for “Signal Lost”.
Alarm Enable Mode:
This mode is used to define which channels are part
of the combined alarm indication provided on the
single Alarm LED.
Any channels (used or unused) can be configured
to be part of the unified alarm reporting.
Example
. If only three of the five channels are
being used, with the remaining two disconnected
then these channels will report a continuous “input
missing” alarm condition and the Alarm LED would
be constantly red. Removing unused channels from
the alarm reporting will prevent this.
Reference Manual C DA 5005 Version1.0

Switch Settings
Below the switch settings for the 8-position dipswitch are defined. Please see the section following
the table for more detail on the switch function.
There are two modes for the use of the dip switches
and the corresponding LEDs:
1) Channel Status Mode: The Dip Switches switch
the test signal (color bars) ON or OFF for the
corresponding channel. The corresponding LED
is GREEN for “Signal Present”, YELLOW for “Test
Signal ON” and RED for “Signal Lost”.
2) Reference Configuration Mode: The Dip
switches define which channels form part of the
combined alarm reporting for the module. Any
channel (used or unused) can be added or
removed from the Alarm configuration

ALARM ENABLE MODE
Switch Function Detail
All settings are stored in Flash Ram inside the
module (see Auto Store section in this manual).
Settings will be recalled on power up.
Dip Switch 1
This switch enables local control using the dipswitches. ON enables local control and makes
selections on the dipswitch active, and OFF
disables local control (locking out any local
changes)
Note.
When Switch 1 is initially switched to ON, the static
settings currently set on the dip-switches may not
reflect the actual configuration stored in the
module. This is because all settings can be
changed from the remote control system. This
overrides the local dip switches regardless of Switch
1 ON/OFF setting. To ensure the module reads the
local dip switch settings it is recommended to
toggle Switch 1 ON-OFF-ON before making any
local changes to the dip switches
.

This switch selects either the Channel Status Mode
or Reference Configuration Mode as described
above. ON = Channel Status Mode, OFF = Alarm

Dip Switch 3
This is used to select what type signal is output for
channels with input signal lost. ON selects Color Bars
and OFF selects black as output.
Dip Switch 4-8 (CHANNEL STATUS MODE)
Switch 4 = Channel 5 … Switch 8 = Channel 1:
ON selects test signal color bars OFF selects normal
operation.
Dip Switch 4-8 (ALARM ENABLE MODE)
Switch 4 = Channel 5 … Switch 8 = Channel 1:
ON Channel alarm is enabled OFF Channel alarm

Factory Preset Condition
The C DA 5005 is delivered preset for the following
mode of operation:
• Local control ENABLED
• Channel Status Mode
• Test Signal Color Bars
• Test Signal OFF – Normal operation for all
channels
• All channels “Alarm Enabled”
If this is the mode of operation required, then no
adjustments are necessary.
Auto Store
If no parameters are changed for 10 seconds then
the current settings will be written into flash memory
automatically, this can be seen by the alarm LED
flashing yellow four times.

Alarm/LED Status Indicators
The C DA 5005 module has six LED indicators, which
serve as alarm and status indication for the module
(Figure 2 or 3). Function is described below.
Status Indicators
5 Status LEDs are provided on the module edge
Alarm Indicator
There is also a general alarm LED on the lower edge
of the module, which can be seen when the rack
front cover is fitted. The status of this LED is defined
by the alarm enable settings as explained above.
LED OFF indicates power is lost, or there is a power
supply fault.

Locate Function
For larger systems which may have multiple
MiniModules 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 module LED`s will flash yellow in the
following continuous sequence.
3 short flashes…. Pause…. 3 short flashes …
This uses the alarm LED located on the front of the
module and in some cases any channel or status
LED`s that may be used in the module.
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.
