Table 3-2 lists and describes the function submenus for 9411 thru 9414 Rx
cards.
Table 3-2 9411-9414 (Rx) Card Function Submenu List
Control/Status Tab (9411-9414 Rx)
Provides controls for selecting fiber input-to-SDI output
crosspoint sources for the card fiber input channels,
and reclocker/automute disable. Also provides signal
status displays for the up to four signal channels.
• Output Channel Crosspoint / Status Display
• Crosspoint (Input Select) Controls From Input 1 thru From Input 4 range in source selection drop-down lists
selects fiber input for each of the four SDI output channels.
SDI output channels can select from any of up to four fiber inputs, with
same fiber input on multiple SDI outputs, thereby providing a fiber-to-SDI
DA function, if desired.
Note: From Input 1 thru From Input 4 full choice available only on 9414
(4x4 Rx) card. 9413 thru 9411 cards have correspondingly fewer
drop-down fiber source choices.
Output Rate and Reclocker status displays show the current SDI output status and signal format of the four card SDI outputs
as follows:
• Output Rate: If a recognized SMPTE rate is detected on an output, the SMPTE video format is correspondingly displayed
(e.g., 3G, HD, SD). If the received signal is usable by the card but is not recognized as a SMPTE rate, Valid is displayed.
• Reclocker: If a recognized SMPTE rate is detected on an output, Locked is displayed. If the outputted signal is passed by
the card but is not recognized as a SMPTE rate, LOS is displayed. This can indicate a signal, in which to be reliably
processed by the card channel, should be set to bypass reclocking (see Reclocker/EQ Automute Bypass below).
The example above shows Input 1 receiving and locking a 3G (SMPTE 425) signal, Input 2 receiving a non-SMPTE signal,
and Input 3 and Input 4 showing no signal present.
EQ/reclocking is tailored for signal ranging from 19 Mbps to 3 Gbps. EQ/reclocking is applied before the automute function,
allowing the automute to blank signal transfer when a signal is not reliably locked by reclocking. When handling non-SMPTE
signals (specifically signals slower than 19 Mbps), the card’s reclocking and automute functions can be bypassed so that
non-SMPTE signals are not rejected by these functions.
