8964DEC/-FS 4-Channel
NTSC/PAL to SDI Decoder
Introduction
The 8964DEC module offers four independent, full-function, high-density
decoders on one module. With 10-bit A-to-D and full-adaptive decoding, it
provides high quality conversion of NTSC/PAL video to broadcast quality
component 4:2:2 signal despite the noisiest inputs (satellite and microwave
links). A frame synchronization version is also available (8964DEC-FS).
The 8964DEC features:
• 4 NTSC/PAL to 270 Mb/s SDI decoders with independent controls for:
• Line sync mode for horizontal timing,
• Frame sync (option) adding vertical timing and freeze modes,
• Automatic gain and chroma controls (AGC and ACC),
• Monochrome In signal support,
• Processing amplifier,
• Line-by-line VBI processing with remote control,
• Test signal generator (color bars and pathological signal outputs),
• EDH insertion for error tracking, and
• Picture detail enhancement.
• User adjustable 2D adaptive comb decoding,
• An OSD (On Screen Display) can be keyed in and out of video output,
• Analog color black NTSC/PAL reference inputs,
• Up to 10 8964DEC decoders in an 8900 Gecko video frame or a
GeckoFlex frame providing up to 40 decoders in one frame, and
• Remote interface with the 8900NET module (version 4.3.0 or later):
• Web browser configuration and control,
• SNMP traps for use with NetCentral, and
• Newton Control Panel interface.
