8964DEC 4-Channel
NTSC/PAL to SDI Decoder
Introduction
The 8964DEC module offers four independent, full-function, high density
decoders on one module. With 10-bit A-to-D and full-adaptive decoding,
the 8964DEC provides high quality conversion of NTSC/PAL video into a
broadcast quality component 4:2:2 signal from even the noisiest inputs
such as satellite and microwave links. A frame synchronization option is
also available.
The 8964DEC features:
• 4 NTSC/PAL to 270 Mbs SDI decoders with independent controls for:
• Line sync mode for horizontal timing,
• Frame sync (option) adding vertical timing and freeze modes,
• Automatic gain and chroma controls (AGC and ACC),
• Monochrome In signal support,
• Processing amplifier,
• Line-by-line VBI processing with remote control,
• Test signal generator (color bars and pathological signal outputs),
• EDH insertion for error tracking, and
• Picture detail enhancement.
• User adjustable 2D adaptive comb decoding,
• An OSD (On Screen Display) can be keyed in and out of video output,
• Analog color black NTSC/PAL reference inputs,
• Up to 10 8964DEC decoders in a 2 RU Gecko™ 8900 video frame pro-
viding up to 40 decoders in one frame, and
• Remote interface with the 8900NET module (version 3.2.0 or later):
• Web browser configuration and control,
• SNMP traps for use with NetCentral, and
