8949SVM-LOC and
8949SVM-UMD Single
Viewing Modules
Introduction
The 8949SVM-LOC and 8949SVM-UMD Single Viewing modules display
HD-SDI and SD-SDI signals on flat-panel monitors such as video or com-
puter TFT displays. The output of the modules is via a DVI-I type connector
type and can be used to feed DVI monitors as well as analog VGA style
units. Both 8949SVM models support a wide range of monitor resolutions
and refresh rates. The input is auto-sensing for HD and SD. The output is
auto-sensing for monitor resolution and scan rate. These auto-sensing fea-
tures provide the convenience of installation without user configuration.
The 8949SVM modules includes a de-embed capacity to provide analog
audio feeds on balanced connectors for easy stereo audio monitoring.
Uniquely the 8949SVM will both scale and frame-rate convert to drive the
monitor at its native resolution and frame rate. This ensures high-quality,
consistent image processing on a wide variety of screen types.
The 8949SVM-UMD has the added features of UMD text and tally func-
tions that can be driven from a central controller via the module’s own
Ethernet connection.
Both 8949SVM models consist of a front and rear module set that uses a
single slot of a GeckoFlex frame. This model uses local on-board controls
for all setup procedures.
Module Features
The 8949SVM has the following key features:
• Monitor HD or SD-SDI video on flat panel monitors,
• Drive video or low-cost computer monitors with DVI-I or VGA inputs,
• Balanced analog audio monitoring outputs,
• Audio delay compensation for both module and monitor processing,
