Operation
Figure 108:
PT-DEC-IB Module
The
PT-DEC-IB
analog video to SDI decoder input module converts a block of eight composite NTSC or
PAL video signals to high quality, 10-bit serial digital signals (SDI) for routing within the Platinum
platform. This module also may be used for "analog to analog" video routing with the optional PM-ENC-
OB or
PT-ENC-OB
encoder output module.
Hardware Reporting
Each of the eight channels will provide standard reporting of signal presence using a card-edge mounted
LED in each channel for on-site troubleshooting and via the frame control system. These additional
system LEDs are available:
Power supply indicator
Control system acknowledgment
Input usage warning
Composite Analog Input Processing
The
PT-DEC-IB
accepts eight 1 Vpp analog NTSC or PAL video signals terminating into 75
BNC
connectors. Using the built-in automatic (AGC) or manual gain settings, the input signal level can be
adjusted ±6 dB in each channel to compensate for variances in upstream equipment. As well, each input
