8949SVM-LOC/-UMD—Instruction Manual
Introduction
•
Auto sensing of monitor resolution and scan rate via EDID,
•
Temporal conversion to display video on non-video (PC) monitors,
•
Built-in display compensation for color and black stretch,
•
Patterns for monitor setup including Pluge,
•
Frame lock modes to ensure no skipped or repeated frames, and
•
Support of aspect ratio conversion to suit 16:9, 16:10, 4:3, and 5:4
monitor screen sizes when fed with 16:9, 4:3, or 16:9 anamorphic picture
sizes.
Applications
Common applications for using the 8949SVM modules include:
•
Monitoring video on flat-panel displays,
•
Using low cost display types for viewing HD-SDI signals, and
•
Creating a complete monitor station with high-resolution viewing and
stereo audio.
Module Placement in the GeckoFlex Frame
The 8949SVM-LOC model consists of a two module set including an
8949SVM-LOC-F front module and an 8900AVM-R rear module.
The 8949SVM-UMD model consists of a two module set including an
8949SVM-UMD-F front module and an 8900AVM-R rear module.
System requirements for this model include the following:
•
The 8949SVM-LOC/-UMD must be installed in a GeckoFlex frame with
a front cover with fans (8900FF or 8900FFN).
•
The module does not communicate with the 8900NET (Net Card) over
the frame serial bus. See
Module Configuration and Monitoring on
•
Module configuration is performed using the two paddle switch con-
trols on the front edge of the module. Refer to
.
There are ten rear and front slot locations in a GeckoFlex frame to accom-
modate all types of 8900 video or audio modules. The front module can be
plugged into any one of the GeckoFlex frame front slots. The companion
rear module plugs into the corresponding rear slot. The rear module should
always be installed first.
Note
As the module can be installed or removed when the GeckoFlex frame is
powered up, before removing the cover, please put an anti-static bracelet or
heel straps tied to a metal part of the frame.
