8949MDA-CFR and
8949MDA-SFR Modules
Introduction
The 8949MDA-CFR or 8949MDA-SFR performs HD/SD equalization, and
reclocking for distribution of HD/SD signals among electrical connectors
and/or a fiber optic submodule and downscaling of HD video signals to
SD SDI video (-SFR) or analog video signals (-CFR) for monitoring applica-
tions.
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); the downscaled monitoring
SDI outputs do not pass embedded audio or HANC (horizontal ancillary)
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 SFP optical
submodule 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
),
•
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,
