Quick Start Guide for ADC-SDI-CC
Without GYDA controller (This is the default setting upon shipping)
1. Set DIP-switch 1 on (towards backplane), switches 2 and 3 according to the input mode you want (see
Table 2 on page 9).
2. Insert ADC-SDI-CC into a slot in the sub-rack.
3. Attach Analogue input (CVBS, S-Video, RGB+sync or YPbPr) and SDI-output to the backplane
module (see Figure 2 on page 7).
4. Power on. After some seconds the ADC-SDI-CC will be running, and the input detected. All LED’s
will be green and the SDI output active. If this is not the case, please see section 5.2 Front Panel Status Monitoring on page 12.
With GYDA controller (firmware> 1.1)
Insert ADC-SDI-CC into a slot in the sub-rack.
Attach Analogue input (CVBS, S-Video, RGB+sync or YPbPr) and SDI-output to the backplane module
(see Figure 2 on page 7).
Power on. After a few seconds the ADC-SDI-CC will be running, and the card detected by GYDA. Use
GYDA to set up which analogue video format to use, CVBS, S-Video, RGB+sync or YPbPr. All
LED’s will now be green and the SDI output active. The card settings are stored on the card which
means that the card will remember its configuration despite any eventual power loss.

1. General
The flashlink ® ADC-SDI-CC is a high quality digital video decoder that digitises and decodes all
popular baseband video formats into SDI 4:2:2 digital component video. The ADC-SDI-CC supports the
analogue-to-digital conversion of component RGB and YPbPr signals, as well as the decoding of NTSC
and PAL composite and S-video into component digital video. This decoder features four 10-bit A/D
converters running with 2 x oversampling (27MHz), which are then digitally filtered and decimated to the
1 x pixel rate giving a higher signal-to-noise ratio for each input channel.
When used with the GYDA control system, gain adjustments may be made to each analogue input.
Composite video decoding utilises a 5-line adaptive comb filter for both the luma and chroma signal
paths to reduce cross-luma and cross-chroma artefacts. A alternative chroma trap filter is also available.
On composite and S-video inputs, the user can control video characteristics such as contrast, brightness,
saturation and hue via the GYDA control interface. The GYDA system controller is used with all
flashlink and flashlink modules providing a common control and monitoring platform.
ADC-SDI-CC features:
• Multi-standard NTSC, PAL, YPbPr, RGB Decoder/Converter
• 10 bit 4:2:2 SDI video quality
• 5 line adaptive comb filter for NTSC/PAL decoding
• EDH generation and insertion
• 2 x oversampling of both composite and component video
• 10 bit component 8:8:8 oversampling with digital 4:2:2 decimation and down-conversion
• VBI data transparent
• 3 SDI outputs
