8949MDA-CFR and
8949MDA-SFR Modules
Introduction
The 8949MDA-CFR or 8949MDA-SFR performs SD/HD equalization, and
reclocking for distribution of SD/HD signals among electrical connectors
and/or a fiber optic SFP device and downscaling of HD video signals to
SD- SDI video (-SFR) or analog video signals (-CFR) for monitoring appli-
cations.
On the 8949MDA-SFR module with an SD-SDI video input, the module
will distribute the SD-SDI signal (including embedded audio) on all
outputs (distribution and monitoring). With an HD-SDI video input, the
module distributes the HD-SDI signal on the HD-SDI distribution outputs
(including embedded audio and HANC data – horizontal ancillary); the
downscaled monitoring SDI outputs do not pass embedded audio or
HANC data from the HD video input.
The two models, 8949MDA-CFR (composite downscaler outputs) and
8949MDA-SFR (serial data interface downscaler outputs) must be installed
in a GeckoFlex frame and require the presence of an 8900WFR-R rear
module. Optical interface requires the presence of an optional fiber optic
SFP plug-in device.
Features
The 8949MDA module features include:
• Multi-format HD/SD video on one electrical input and/or up to two
optical input/outputs (refer to
Cabling on page 19 ),
• In HD input mode:
• Up to four reclocked HD electrical outputs and up to two reclocked
HD optical outputs,
• Up to four downscaled HD to SD or composite (SDI signals in the
case of 8949MDA-SFR or composite signals in the case of
8949MDA-CFR) electrical outputs,
