Model 5150
Video Generator Module
wires are required to connect the module
to the data bus. GPI and GPO connections
are made using a 3-pin header. After all the
connections have been completed the mod-
ule can then be secured into the designated
mounting location.
Coaxial (BNC) SDI Output
The Model 5150 provides an SDI output
that utilizes a broadcast-standard BNC
socket. This output is referred to as the
coaxial (BNC) SDI output. Refer to Figure 2
for a detailed view of the connector’s loca-
tion on the rear of the module. The coaxial
(BNC) output, depending on operating
conditions, will be either a SMPTE-
compliant HD-SDI (1.485 Gb/s nominal) or
a 3G-SDI (2.97 Gb/s nominal) signal. The
exact format/rate combinations supported
by the Model 5150 are listed in the Specifi-
cations section of this guide.
Coaxial (BNC) SDI Input
An SDI source can be connected to the
Model 5150 by way of a broadcast-stan-
dard BNC connector. This is referred to
as the coaxial (BNC) SDI input. Refer to
Figure 2 for a detailed view of the connec-
tor’s location on the rear of the module.
The coaxial (BNC) input is compatible
with SMPTE-compliant HD (1.485 Gb/s
nominal) and 3G (2.97 Gb/s nominal) SDI
signals. It is not compatible with standard
definition SD-SDI (270 Mb/s nominal) sig-
nals. The exact format/rate combinations
supported by the Model 5150 are listed in
the Specifications section of this guide.
A configuration setting must be made for
the coaxial (BNC) SDI input to be active.
Refer to the Configuration section of this
guide for details.
