2.1 Unpacking
Make sure the following items have been shipped with your DEC-1023. If any of the following items are
missing, contact your distributor or Miranda Technologies Inc.
• DEC-1023 12-Bit Composite to SDI Decoder
• DEC-10NN-DRP Double Rear Panel (see figure 2.2)
2.2 Installation in the Densité frame
The DEC-1023 must be mounted in a DENSITÉ frame. The installation includes both the DEC-1023 module,
and the rear panel module. It is not necessary to switch off the power from these frames when installing or
removing the DEC-1023.
When used in conjunction with an audio module such as the UAP-1781, the ABUS flat cable needs to be
installed between the ABUS connector of the DEC-1023 and the connector of the audio module. The ABUS
flat cable is supplied with the audio module.
Detailed instructions for installing cards and their associated rear panels in the Densité frame are given in the
Densité Frame manual.
When the double-width rear panel has been installed, the module must be installed in the right-most of the
two slots covered by the panel in order to mate with the rear panel connectors. Should it be installed in the
wrong slot, the front panel LED will flash red. Move the card to the other slot for correct operation. No
damage will result to the card should this occur.
2.3 ABUS Connection to Companion Audio Cards
When the DEC-1023 is used in conjunction with one or two companion audio cards (Miranda’s AAP, DAP or
UAP series), the ABUS flat cable must be installed between the ABUS connector of the DEC-1023 and the
connectors on the audio cards. The ABUS flat cable is supplied with the audio card.
