This manual introduces the DLC170 function modules, which are available in the following models:
•
DLC170AD—Converts NTSC or PAL analog video and audio to 270 Mb/s Component SD-SDI (SMPTE
259M) with embedded audio. For more information about this module, see the
Using the DLC170AD” section on page 2
•
DLC170DA—Converts optically received 270 Mb/s Component SD-SDI to composite analog video
(NTSC or PAL) and de-embeds audio to analog or AES digital. This module can also be used to repeat
the received optical signal. For more information about this module, see the
Using the DLC170DA” section on page 21
.
You can use the modules separately or as a set. When used as a set, these modules ensure full TV-1 RS250-C
Short Haul analog performance over a true SMPTE 259M SD-SDI optical transport link.
Provisioning and monitoring of the DLC170 modules is accomplished using DIP switches, LEDs, front panel
monitor jack, or Artel’s DL Manager, which is an element management system (for more information, see the
DL Manager Setup and Operations Manual
). The modules also have a set of major and minor alarms for
indicating problems related to the power supplies, optics, temperature, and input signals.
Both DLC170 modules can interoperate with other DigiLink platform video function modules and other SDI
optical transmitters and receivers.
