Specification 

 
The following refers to the specification for the SB10 receiver module only. 
 
Power:   

 

+5VDC ± 5% @ ~450mA. 

Dimensions: 

 

120mm x 75mm x 27mm. 

Video standards:  

NTSC-M, PAL. 

Luma bandwidth: 

6.75MHz ±  1.5dB (Anti aliasing filter bypassed). 

Chroma bandwidth: 

1.3MHz -3dB. 

Latency:  

 

<100µs. 

Gain control range: 

-3 to +18dB. 

HDMI:      

  

10 bit 4:2:2 YCbCr format. 525i (NTSC) or 625i (PAL). 

 

The following NTSC/PAL measurements were made using a Tektronix video pattern generator, the 
SB10 evaluation board and a Tektronix WFM700 SDI waveform monitor (via a Blackmagic HDMI to 
SDI converter).
