1 SER-800D/810E HD Video Deserializer/Serializer

1.1 Introduction

Part of Miranda's family of SER serial coders are the SER-800D
High Definition Video Deserializer and the SER-810E High
Definition Video Serializer. The SER-800D converts HD serial
digital video to HD parallel video, while the SER-810E converts
HD parallel video to HD serial digital video. Refer to the section
on specifications for accepted digital video standards.

1.2 Features

- Compact HD Parallel to Serial/Serial to Parallel conversion

- Plugs directly into D-SUB 50 parallel connector of source
equipment

- Powered by wall plug-in or rack-mounted SER-CPS for up to
10 coders

- Automatic format detection

- 2 serial HD SDI outputs (SER-800D)

- Jitter removal circuitry (SER-810E)

- Supports the following formats:

-720p @23.98/24/25/29/29.97/30/50/59.94/60 Hz frame freq.

-1035i @59.94/60 Hz field freq.

-1080sF@23.98/24 Hz frame freq.

-1080p @23.98/24/25/29/29.97/30 Hz frame freq.

-1080i @50/59.94/60 Hz field freq.

1.3 Unpacking

Make sure the following items have been shipped with your SER­800D or SER-810E. If any of the following items are missing,
contact your distributor or Miranda Technologies Inc.

- SER-800D or SER-810E

- This manual

- A female-to-female D-SUB 50 cable adapter

To operate, the SER-800D/810E requires either a wall plug-in
power supply - SER-WSU (110/220V) - or a centralized power
supply when up to 10 coders are used (SER-CPS).

3 Operation

3.1 Powering Up

To power the SER-800D/810E coders, follow these steps.

1- Insert the power plug from the power supply into the coder's

power jack.

2- Plug the DC power supply to an AC outlet.

3.2 SER-800D Operation

HD-SDI Video Video Input

Connect a HD serial digital video signal to the IN BNC input con­nector. The input must conform to SMPTE 292M (1.485 and

1.485/1.001 Gbps).

Parallel HD Output

The decoded HD parallel video signal is output by the D-SUB 50
connector. You can attach the SER-800D directly to the destina­tion equipment by securing the mounting screws to the destina­tion equipment female connector.
The output conforms to SMPTE-260M (for 1035i format), 296M
(for 720p format), 274M and 295M (for 1080sF, 1080i and 1080p
formats).

3.3 SER-810E Operation

Parallel HD Video Input

Connect a HD parallel video signal to the male 50-pin input con­nector. You can attach the SER-810E directly to the source
equipment by securing the mounting screws to the source equip­ment female connector.
The SER-810E accepts all popular 720p (SMPTE-296M),
1080sF, 1080i, 1080p (SMPTE-274M, and 295M) and 1035i
(SMPTE-260M) standards.

HD-SDI Video Output (2)

The two HD SDI video signals are output by the two OUT BNCs
connectors. The output conforms to SMPTE 292M (1.485 and

1.485 /1.001 Gbps).

3.4 Mode Selection

Figure 3.1 indicates the location of the miniature slide switch on
the SER-800D/810E.

Note: All signals are of differential input/output type.

- Luminance channels are represented by Data0 thru Data9 for 10-bit

systems, and Data2 thru Data9 for 8-bit systerms.

- Chrominance channels are represented by Data10 thru Data19 for

10-bit systems, and Data12 thru Data19 for 8-bit systems.

3.5 Status LED

The bi-colored status LED, located next to the SER-800D input
connector or the SER-810E output connectors, is provided to
identify any input error or power supply malfunction. The follow­ing lists the possible situations:

Green: Indicates that the SER-800D/810E is powered and has

detected a valid HD parallel video input signal.

Red: Indicates an error with the input signal has been

detected or simply, there is no input cable connected.

Off: The unit is not powered on. Check that it is connected

to the power supply, and the power supply is properly
connected to a power source.
