2430DAC-HD - 1
2. INSTALLATION
The 2430DAC-HD is a compact module that has two BNC connectors and one high density 15 pin D
connector for video, and a serial port for firmware upgrades.

2.1. POWER
The 2430DAC-HD comes with an auto-ranging DC voltage adapter that automatically senses
the input voltage. Power should be applied by connecting a 3-wire grounding type power
supply cord to the power entry module on the DC voltage adapter. The power cord should be
minimum 18 AWG wire size; type SST marked VW-1, maximum 2.5 m in length. The DC cable
of the voltage adapter should be connected to the DC power jack on the rear panel. A green
LED located beside the power connector will be illuminated when there is power applied to the
2430DAC-HD.
2.2. VIDEO IN AND OUT
HD INPUT:
Input BNC connector for 10-bit serial digital video signals, compatible with the
SMPTE 292M standard. The 2430DAC-HD automatically selects the video standard.
HD OUTPUT:
This BNC connector is used to output a reclocked copy of the input video.
VIDEO OUTPUT:
This female HD 15 pin D connector is compatible with standard VGA monitor
connectors. The outputs can be programmed as standard VGA signals or Y, Pb, Pr or RGB
outputs from the 2430DAC. These outputs can have either bi-level or tri-level sync
superimposed. The output signals available are selected using DIP switches 1 to 4. (See
Table 5-2) When the VGA mode is selected you can connect a standard VGA monitor using a
straight through VGA Cable. When other modes are selected you can connect a standard
broadcast monitor using the 15 pin D to BNC adapter cable provided with the module (Evertz
