Model 5152
Video Generator/Audio Embedder Module
Installation
Integration of the Model 5152 into a select-
ed application should prove quite simple,
only connecting SDI input and output sig-
nals, digital audio sources, and DC power
is required. Some applications will also re-
quire connection to the module’s data bus.
The coaxial (BNC) input and output con-
nections are compatible with most HD-SDI
and 3G-SDI signals. If the specific Model
5152 being installed also includes opti-
cal support one or two single-mode fiber
interconnections will be made. The fiber
connections utilize miniature LC plugs.
Up to four AES3-compliant unbalanced
digital audio signals can be connected
by way of a 9-pin D-subminiature (DE-9)
connector. Each of these four digital audio
signals supports two channels of audio.
The DC power source is nominal 12 volts
with an acceptable range of 10 to 18 volts.
It’s possible that the module will be part
of a local data bus that’s associated with a
Studio Technologies’ Model 5190 Remote
Access Module. If so, two additional wires
are required to connect the module to
the data bus. After the connections have
been completed the module can then be
secured into the designated mounting
location.
Coaxial (BNC) SDI Output
The Model 5152 provides an SDI output
that utilizes a broadcast-standard BNC
socket. This output is referred to as the co-
axial (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 an SMPTE-
compliant HD (1.485 Gb/s nominal) or 3G
(2.97 Gb/s nominal) SDI signal. The exact
format/rate combinations supported by the
Model 5152 are listed in the Specifications
section of this guide.
