Model 5152
Video Generator/Audio Embedder Module
After all the connections have been com-
pleted 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 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 5152 are listed in the Specifi-
cations section of this guide.
Coaxial (BNC) SDI Input
An SDI source can be connected to
the Model 5152 by way of a broadcast-
standard BNC connector. This is referred
to as the coaxial (BNC) SDI input. Refer
to Figure 2 for a detailed view of the con-
nector’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 5152 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.
Optical SDI Output
This section applies only when the spe-
cific Model 5152 module being installed
was configured at the factory to provide an
optical output. A video SFP (small form-
factor pluggable) optical module is used to
provide the optical SDI output. A range of
SFP modules can be installed in the “cage”
at the back of the Model 5152. These
