8981FS Digital Frame
Synchronizer Module
Introduction
The 8981FS is a component digital frame synchronizer module compatible
with the 8900 series frames. The video input and output are 270 Mb serial
digital and reference is analog color black. The module can also be operated
as a fixed delay with adjustable output timing offset relative to the video
input. This mode does not require a reference input.
The 8981FS combines the best features of a frame synchronizer, frame delay
and digital processing amplifier in one module. It is designed to handle
various environments and applications including asynchronous input
video signal timing, manual color correction, and production freeze frame
applications. It operates as a companion to the 8916 AES/EBU Auto-
tracking Delay DA for audio synchronization applications. The 8981FS
offers several control modes including:
■ Local onboard controls,
■ GPI (general purpose interface) for freeze mode trigger, and
■ Ethernet control over a LAN/WAN using the optional 8900NET control
system.
