Overview
The REF-1801-FR1 is a reference module that distributes a Universal Reference Signal
(URS4D) to all the cards within a Densité 3+ FR1 frame.
The unique URS4D concept provides significant advantages as it generates a digital
reference signal and simplifies inter-format processing by using a unique reference signal
for all video and audio frame rates.
The REF-1801-FR1 extracts timecode from the input as per the SMPTE-318 standard, which
allows for perfect audio / video phasing.
The REF-1801-FR1 should be installed in the dedicated system slot of a Densité 3+ FR1
frame.
Features
• Digitally generated reference for intra-frame distribution
• Time code extraction and embedding
• Supports SMPTE 318M for perfect audio/video phasing
• Easy control & monitoring
