Safety Precautions
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol,
within an equilateral triangle, is intended to
alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
"dangerous voltage" within the product's
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk to persons.
The exclamation point, within an equilateral
triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.

-
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS OWNERS MANUAL AND THOSE MARKED ON THE UNIT, RETAIN THIS
BOOKLET FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
This set has been designed and manufactured to assure personal safety.
Improper use can result in electric shock or fire hazard. The safeguards incorporated in this unit will protect you if you observe the following
procedures for installation, use and servicing. This unit is fully transistorized and does not contain any parts that can be repaired by the user.

to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
Product Overview:
The SD10DAC standard definition SDI to Analog Video Encoder is a broadcast quality
converter designed to demanding quality specifications utilizing the finest components
available. The SD10DAC is useful for video monitoring, dubbing and desktop video
applications.
The SD10DAC accepts 10 bit SDI (SMPTE 259M-C) video supporting NTSC/PAL video
standards by automatically detecting the format of the SDI stream input format and
outputs 10 bit analog video in YPbPr, Betacam, SMPTE, RGB, Y/C or Composite video
according to user selection.
The SD10DAC includes an LED indicating the presence of a locked SDI signal. The
equalizer is optimized for 270 Mb/sec with excellent return loss (>15dB). The deserializer
converts 525 or 625 SDI (SMPTE 259M-C) with EDH (Error detection and handling),
NRZI-to-NRZ decoding and descrambling.
The video encoder features high quality 10 bit DAC’s with super sub-alias filters with
extended luminance frequency response providing studio quality video playback in
PAL or NTSC with or without pedestal.
Features:
• 10 Bit end to end processing
• 4 - 10 bit Video encoding DAC’s
• Low Band-Pass video reconstruction filters
• Automatic detection and switching to NTSC or PAL
• User Selectable output to YPbPr, Betacam, SMPTE, RGB or simultaneous CVBS and Y/C
• NTSC Pedestal (0 or 7.5 IRE)
• SDI Signal present LED indicator
• Color Bar test signal (SDI signal must be present)
• 4 position dip switch for user selectable settings
• Rugged Aluminum and Steel enclosure
• 5 VDC (110-240 50/60 Hz) Locking Power Supply
The Product includes:
• 1 each - SD10DAC Video Encoder
• 1 e - 5 VDC Power Supply with Locking Connector
• 2 each - Velcro Strips for easy mounting
• 2 each - 4-40 standard rack mounting screws
• User Guide
