Submodule Installation

Submodule Installation

Install the 8900GEN-SM submodule on the circuit board of the host module
according to the steps given in the specific host module instruction manual.
If you will be using the frame buses, you will need to enable the specific
Frame Bus jumpers on each host module circuit board. The jumper
numbers and placement will depend on the GeckoFlex host module.

Cabling External Reference

The external reference fed to the Genlock submodule is input to the
Genlock Loop BNCs on the corresponding host rear module. The Genlock
submodule must then be configured to one of the frame rates in the refer-
ence Input Standard Selection pulldown on the Genlock web page.

Table 1

lists the available frame rates in the pulldown and the compatible reference
inputs that will report a locked condition on the Genlock web page.

Note

If the Input Selection Standard selected on the Genlock web page does not
match the reference input exactly, a warning will be generated. Refer to

Figure 8 on page 26
