Symphonie or Solo imaging housing frames in order to provide power to the card. This section describes how to install the ASD-111i in any of these housing frames. It is not necessary to switch off the power from these housing frames when installing the SDM-111i.
2.2 Rear Panel Label 2.2.1 imaging Quartet/Quartet-C/Quartet-M/Solo Connector Label A connector label has been shipped with your ASD-111i. This label is to be installed on the housing frame's rear panel in order to identify the ASD-111i external connectors. To install the label, follow these steps.
Rear module 2.3 ASD-111i Electrical Installation When connecting the ASD-111i to external equipment, make sure that all serial digital connections are point-to-point. For instance, there must be a point-to-point connection between a 4:2:2 OUT BNC and target equipment. If a T-connector is used to connect other equipment, the maximum specified cable length is no longer valid.

CAV inputs Supported CAV input formats include GBR, SMPTE/EBU, Betacam, and MII. After installing the CAV inputs make sure to program the ASD-111i for the appropriate input format. Refer to section 3, Operation. 4:2:2 Serial digital video outputs 4:2:2 Serial digital component video signals are provided on the BNC connectors labeled 4:2:2 OUT (1 to 3).
3 Operation 3.1 ASD-111i User Interface Figure 3.1 outlines the ASD-111i's user interface situated at the front end of the card. The interface components include, from left to right: • Line format status and error detection. • Input signal format selection.
The following indicators provide information on the ASD-111i's line format status. Refer to Figure 3.1 for the correct indicator location. • This LED lights up to indicate the ASD-111i has detected a CAV input with a 525 line format. •...
3.3 Input Signal Format Selection The ASD-111i must be informed on the type of CAV input installed. The choices of CAV inputs, as they successively appear when scrolled through, is shown in Figure 3.3 below. In order to program the appropriate format, use the FORMAT push-button to scroll through the choices of CAV inputs.
3. Depress the CALIB. push-button for more than 2 seconds in order to execute automatic calibration. For several seconds, the ASD-111i will attempt to conform the output 4:2:2 signal to the SMPTE 259M standard. During this time, the ERR calibration LED will flicker. The flickering will stop automatically after a complete and successful calibration.
1. Make sure the ASD-111i is programmed for the type of input CAV signal being processed. Use the FORMAT push-button to make any modifications. Refer to the note following this procedure. 2. Depress the SELECT push-button. The Y GAIN, B-Y GAIN and R-Y GAIN LEDs light up.
V ANC jumper. Perform the following steps in order to mask vertical ancillary data or to allow it to pass through the ASD-111i. 1. Locate the V ANC jumper situated on the left side of the ASD-111i (refer to figure 3.2 for location).
1. Locate the CORING jumper (LK2) situated on the left side of the ASD-111i (refer to figure 3.2 for location). 2. To enable the coring function set the jumper in the ON position. In order to remove the coring effect, set the jumper in the OFF position.
