Getting Started

Most CardModules are installed into the rack frames and system tested in the factory. If
this is an upgrade part, or service exchange item then the module is supplied in a padded
cardboard carton which includes the CardModule, rear connection plate and mounting
screws.

Packaging

The shipping carton and packaging materials provide protection for the module during
transit. Please retain the shipping cartons in case subsequent shipping o f the product
becomes necessary. Do not remove the module from its protective static bag unless
observing adequate ESD precautions. Please see below.

ESD Warning

This product is static sensitive. Please use caution and use preventative measures to
prevent static discharge or damage could result to module.

Preventing ESD Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage occurs when electronic assemblies or the
components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failure.

Do not handle the module unless using an ESD-preventative wrist strap and ensure that
it makes good skin contact. Connect the strap to any solid grounding source such as any
exposed metal on the rack chassis or any other unpainted metal surface.

Caution

Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should
be between 1 and 10 Megohms.

Product Description

The D VD 5830 is a high quality triple channel 3GBit/s / HD / SD SDI/ASI distribution
amplifier designed primarily for broadcast and professional applications.

Flexible configurations allow the D VD 5830 to be used in dual 1 to 4 applications or 1 to
8 applications. Inputs can be reclocked, or non-reclocked. Auto detection of multirate
digital video bit rates in reclocked mode (143Mbit/s, 177Mbit/s, 270Mbit/s, 360Mbit/s,

1.485 GBit/s, 2.985GBit/s) and will transparently pass data from 15 Mbits/s to 2.985 GBit
Mbits/s in non-reclocked mode.

All outputs are ASI compatible.
Note: To ensure high signal quality the SDI receivers are located on the connection plate.
The D VD 5830 is part of the 5000 series of CardModules, which offer high quality,

modularity and flexibility in a small form factor ideal for applications where space is at a
premium.
