3.1 Power Supply

The power supplies LKS-WSA and LKS-WSE, for 110V and 220V
operation respectively, are used to power the SDA-172p. Each
power supply provides a regulated +5VDC@1A power source.

Plug the power supply into a wall or power bar outlet. The SDA­172p uses a mini XLR-3 connector for its power needs; figure 3.1
provides a detailed pinout of the male connector.

3.2 Serial Digital Video Input

Connect a serial digital signal to the BNC labeled IN. The serial
digital input signal must conform to the SMPTE 259M-ABCD
standard or the proposed EN50 083-9 DVB-ASI (270 Mbps).

Make sure that the input signal cable has a maximum length of
250 m (850’) for a 270 Mbps input signal or 170 m (560’) for a 540
Mbps input signal. Also ensure that all serial digital video equip­ment are connected point-to-point. For instance, there must be a
point-to-point connection between the IN BNC and the source
equipment. If a T-connector is used to connect other equipment,
the maximum specified cable length is no longer valid.

3.3 Serial Digital Video Output

The three serial digital output signals are provided by the BNC
labeled OUT 1, OUT 2 and OUT 3. The serial digital output sig­nal conforms to the SMPTE 259M-ABCD standard or the pro­posed EN50 083-9 DVB-ASI (270 Mbps).
