This module can be mounted in a GeckoFlex
frame when ordered with the 8900V-R GeckoFlex
Video rear.
8964ENC
Four-channel SDI to NTSC/PAL encoder with line
synchronizer
8964ENC-FS
Four-channel encoder with frame synchronizer
The 8964ENC is a high-density, four-channel
module that converts four 270 Mb/s serial
component digital signals to four NTSC or
to four PAL composite analog outputs on a
single module. Typical applications include
cost-effective analog VTR interfaces, composite
analog production switcher inputs, and
analog transmitter feeds. Up to 40 encoders
can be housed in only 2 RU of space. Most
adjustments to this card can be performed
on the module’s card-edge controls. The
on-screen display capability included with
each module greatly simplifies card-edge
configuration.
