A Word of Thanks
Congratulations on choosing the openGearTM DAC-104 Standard Definition D / A 10-bit SDI to
Analog Composite, Y/C, RGB and Component. The DAC-104 is part of a full line of modular
conversion gear for broadcast TV environments. The Sierra Video Systems openGear
video decoders and encoders, audio embedders and de-embedders, distribution amplifiers, format
converters, and much more. Sierra openGear
conversion needs now and well into the future.
Should you have questions pertaining to the installation or operation of your DAC-104, please contact
us at the numbers listed on the back cover of this manual. We are happy to help with any questions
regarding this or any other openGe ar
Overview
The DAC-104 is a high quality standard definition digital to analog converter for c onverting 525/625
4:2:2 SDI signals to analog Composite, Y/C and Component signals (YPbPr or RGB). The DAC-104
auto-detects the line input standard and outputs the co rresponding NT S C or PAL standard. The user
can configure the default PAL outputs to be PAL-B/D/G/H/I, PAL N or PAL 60 and NSTC M or N.
Pedestal selection can be enabled or disabled for NTSC operation.
The DAC-104 can be externally configured to three different analog o utp ut co nfigurations: all
Composite, dual Composite with Y/C or Composite with Component. The DAC-104 supports four
different Component output modes: BetaCam™, MII™, SMPTE/N10 and RGB. The encoding
process is 10-bit with sample up-conversion from 4:2:2 to 8:8:8 (2x output mode) or 16:16:16 (4x
output mode). Full user digital processing (proc.) co ntrols are available to the end user for adjusting

black level, Y Gain, Saturation a nd Hue. Advanced controls include VBI Blanking, line by line VBI
Pedestal control, extended filtering, DNR and Gamma configuration. All adjustments can be saved to
non-volatile memory or Factory defaults can be restored. A De-jitter VCXO is included to reduce
input jitter from high frequencies down to 2Hz.
The DAC-104 has four reclocked digital output copie s of the input SDI signal or three when the
Genlock input i s us ed, and one BNC reserved for Bla ck Burst input. The us er must adjust the SDI
source’s H-Phase for horizontal sync alignment. A full 360 degrees of SCH phase is user adjustable on
the DAC-104.
The input and outputs of the DAC-104 are the following:
Inputs:
One 10-bit SD-SDI vid eo input
One black burst reference input for color framing purposes
Outputs:
Four reclocked SD-SDI video outputs
Four analog SD video outputs
Color Framing
Although an SD-SDI signal carries more information than a composite signal, it does not properly
encode the SCH (Sub-Carrier to Horizontal) phase of the original composite signal. SCH phase is a
measure of the relationship of the start of the color burst to the start of the horizontal sync. In NTSC
each field has an SCH phase of 90° more than the previous field, thus the SCH sequence repeats every
four fields. Since each SDI field encodes the field type (odd or even) but not the SCH phase, a given
video encoder cannot recreate the SCH phase without a reference signal. This creates problems when
trying to align the signals to the inputs of some sort of switching device that relies on the color phase
being unified ac ross channels.
The DAC-104 gets around this problem by accepting reference on either of the two frame inputs, or on
a dedicated BNC on the rear IO module. When reference is detected, the card will automatically ensure
that the SCH phase of the output matches that of the reference signal. The reference must be
synchronous with the input vi deo for this to work, d ue to the nature of the comparison.
There is a control to adjust the offset between output SCH phase and detected reference SCH phase. It
is not needed in most applications.

Rear Module Installation (Optional)
If you are installing the card in a 8310-C-BNC or 8310-BNC frame (one with a 100 BNC rear module
installed across the entire back plane), skip this section.
If you are installing the card into a slot with no rear module, you should have ordered and received the
DAC-104-A rear module. You will need to install it in your 8310 frame before you can connect cables.
Use the following steps to install a rear module in an 8310 openGear
1. Refer to the openGear
properly installed according to instructions.
2. On the rear of the 8310, locate the card frame slot.
3. As shown in Figure 2, seat the bottom of the rear module in the seating slot at the
base of the frame’s back plane.

This completes the procedure for installing the card in the openGear
components should be arranged to avoid areas of excess heat build-up,
particularly in frames using convection co oling.
2. After selecting the desired frame installation slot, hold the card by the edges and
carefully align the card edges with the slots in the frame. Then, fully insert the card
into the frame until the rear connection plugs are properly seated on the midplane and
rear modules.
3. Connect the input and output cables according to the diagram for the rear module

Reference Configur a t ion and Termination
The DAC-104 can use either a reference connected to the openGear™ frame, or a reference connected
directly to BNC 2 to align the SCH phase of the output video. To use BNC 2 as the reference, set S12 to BNC-
2. To use the openGear™ frame’s reference, set S12 to FRAME and then select which of the two frame
references to be used using S11. It is important to note that the DAC-104 does not operate as a frame
synchronizer. The output video timing will always match the SDI input timing.
Factory Default Settings
The factory default settings are as follows
1) S1.1-3 Output is composite on all ports
2) S1.4 - Color is On
3) S1.5 – Test Pattern is Off

1. Visual Review Performing a quick visual check may reveal many problems, such
as connectors not properly seated or loose cables. Check the module, the frame, and
any associated peripheral equipment for signs of trouble.
2. Power Check Check the power indicator LED on the distribution frame front
panel for the presence of power. If the power LED is not illuminated, verify that the
power cable is connected to a power source and that power is available at the power
main. Confirm that the power supplies are fully seated in their slots. If the power
LED is still not illuminated, replace the power supply with one that is verified to
work.
3. Reseat the Card in the Frame Eject the card and reinsert it in the frame.
4. Check Control Settings Refer to the Installation and Operation sections of the
manual and verify all user-adjustable c omponent settings.
5. Input Signal Status Verify that source equipment is operating correctly and that a
valid signal is being supplied.
6. Output Signal Path Verify that destination equipment is operating correctly and
receiving a valid signal.
7. Module Exchange E xchanging a suspect module with a module that is known to
be working correctly is an efficient method for localizing problems to individual
modules.
