Board Installation 

Use the following steps to install the ADC-8032A in a RossGear 8000 series digital distribution frame: 

1.  Refer to the User Manual of the RossGear 8000 series frame, to ensure that the 

frame is properly installed according to instructions.  If this module is to be installed 
in any compatible frame other than a Ross Video product, refer to the frame 
manufacturer’s manual for specific instructions.  

2.  Please note that heat and power distribution requirements within a frame may dictate 

specific slot placement of cards.  Cards with many heat-producing components 
should be arranged to avoid areas of excess heat build-up, particularly in frames 
using convectional cooling. 

3.  After selecting the desired frame installation slot, hold the ADC-8032A card by the 

edges and carefully align the card edges with the slots in the frame.  Then fully insert 
the card into the frame until the rear connection plug is properly seated. 

Cable Connections 

This section provides instructions for connecting cables to the ADC-8032A when mounted in 
RossGear 8000 series Digital Products Frames. See the following frame rear panel diagram for BNC

Figure 3. ADC-8032A BNC Designations for RossGear Frames 

Connect the BNC cables as follows: 

1. Connect 

the 

Analog Composite IN

 BNC connector to the output of your analog 

composite device.  

2. Connect 

BNCs 

1

 through 

4

 to the inputs of four component SDI devices. 

3. Connect 

BNC 

6

 to any device that needs to track the video delay through the 8032A 

or 8032A-S. (RossGear ADL-8520 AES/EBU Auto Tracking Audio Delay) 

 

The TTL Tracking Delay Pulse is a positive 5V pulse. Its width tracks the video 
delay as it passes through the card. The ADC-8032A TTL pulse tracks up to 2 video 
lines, the ADC-8032A-S up to 2 fields. 

4.  If you wish to use the Comlink functionality, connect the BNC end of the Comlink 

adapter cable (not supplied) to BNC 

7

. See Chapter 6, “

Comlink

” for details on this 

optional feature. 

5.  Connect a video reference one of two ways:
