The DAC-9213-PVM has a full 10-bit data path, with 11-bit data processing.
The front panel of the DAC-9213-PVM chassis provides power and status
LEDs for visual reference. In addition, user-selectable switch settings are
available to select the preferred mode of operation.
The DAC-9213-PVM provides analog conversion of 525i, 625i, 720p, 1080i,
and 1080p SDI signals (SMPTE 259M-C and 292M). The DAC-9213-PVM
also has two reclocked SDI outputs. Special measures have been taken to ensure
excellent return loss at both input and output. This ensures error-free
performance with short or long cables.
