1 ASD-111i 4:2:2 Analog to Digital Converter

1.1 Introduction

The ASD-111i is a high-quality 10-bit analog to digital 4:2:2 video converter. A wide
range of component analog video (CAV) inputs are supported including GBR,
SMPTE/EBU, Betacam, and MII. Its microcontroller-based technology simplifies
switching from one standard to another. As an EDH inserter, the ASD-111i will insert
EDH Check Sum and Flag information into the outgoing serial signal. The ASD-111i's
powerful automatic calibration feature can accommodate a non-standard video or
correct a calibration defect in the incoming video signal. Factory set with 11 different
formats, all user configurations are stored in non-volatile memory for ease of use.
The ASD-111i's digital oversampling offers the best signal quality, while digital
processing eliminates the need for analog adjustments. A total of three 4:2:2 serial
digital video outputs are supplied; all 4:2:2 outputs conform to the SMPTE 259M
standard.

The ASD-111i is a member of the imaging family of digital video cards and therefore
requires the imaging Quartet, Quartet-C or Quartet-M, imaging Solo or imaging
Symphonie housing frame for mounting and power.
