INSTALLATION 

Make sure you have ordered and received the ENC-1103 
and its associated rear panel. If any of the following items 
are missing, contact your distributor or Miranda 
Technologies Inc. 

ENC-1103 SDI to Composite/CAV/RGB Encoder 

ENC-1103-SRP or ENC-1103-DRP Rear Panel (see 
figure) 

The ENC-1103 must be mounted in a DENSITÉ frame. 
The installation includes both the ENC-1103 module, and 
the rear panel module. It is not necessary to switch off 
the power from these frames when installing or removing 
the ENC-1103.  
 
When used in conjunction with an audio module such as 
the UAP-1781, the ABUS flat cable needs to be installed 
between the ABUS connector of the ENC-1103 and the 
connector of the audio module.  The ABUS flat cable is 
supplied with the audio module. 
 
Detailed instructions for installing cards and their 
associated rear panels in the Densité frame are given in 
the Densité Frame manual.  

Rear Panel Options

 

The ENC-1103 has different output types:  composite, 
CAV and RGB.  Three composite outputs or one 
CAV/RBG output is available on the single-width rear 
panel;  six composite outputs or two CAV/RGB outputs 
are available with the double-width rear panel.  
 
When a double-width rear panel has been installed, the 
module must be installed in the right-most of the two slots 
covered by the panel in order to mate with the rear panel 
connectors. Should it be installed in the wrong slot, the 
front panel LED will flash red. Move the card to the other 
slot for correct operation. No damage will result to the 
card should this occur. 
 

 

OPERATION 

Overview 

The DENSITÉ frame incorporates a central controller 
card, located in the center of the frame, it is equipped 
with an LCD display and a control panel. The controller 
handles error reporting and local and remote control for 
all cards installed in the frame. The display and control 
panel are assigned to the card in the frame whose 
SELECT button has been pushed.  

User Interface

  

Pushing the SELECT button will cause the on-card 
STATUS LED to flash yellow, and the card identification 
and the current status will be shown on the controller 
card’s display. The STATUS LED will revert to it’s normal 
state upon a second push of the button, or after a short 
delay. The messages which may appear are shown in 
the top line of the menu chart on page 3 

Status Monitor LED 

The status monitor LED is located on the front card-edge 
of the ENC-1103 module, and is visible through the front 
access door of the DENSITÉ frame. This multi-color LED 
indicates module status by color, and by flashing/steady 
illumination, according to the following chart (which also 
indicates fault reporting for this card on the DENSITÉ 
frame’s serial and GPI interfaces).  

A “Flashing Yellow” Status LED indicates that the 
SELECT button on the front panel has been pushed, and 
the controller display and control panel are now assigned 
to this card.  

The LED color assignments for some error conditions 
can be reconfigured by the user (see the chart and menu 
for details).
