Input Modules (PX-IB)
PX-IB Input Module General Overview
The
PX-IB
is a generic Video Input Module designed for the Platinum IP3 Frame. It supports signals up to
3 Gbps.
The
PX-IB
Input Module accepts digital video signals, equalizes and retimes data streams, detects
standards and formats, and distributes signals to the MI backplane to be switched by the crosspoint
matrix.
PX-IB
input modules are hot-swappable.
The
PX-IB
accepts an input data stream for each of the nine channels. Cable losses are automatically
compensated for, if the cable length is within the maximum length limitation. The maximum cable
length is a system specification, not solely dependent on the input card. It is measured by bit error
limitation (not jitter).

The
PX-IB
is designed in front module plus back module structure. A single common front module (FM)
combines with different back modules to provide several IO variations.
