3417 Introduction The 3417 is an HDTV digital to analogue converter designed to be used in the ICON series of 1RU or 3RU frames. It offers Y, Pb, Pr analogue outputs or SVGA output and two reclocked HD-SDI outputs. It handles interlaced serial digital signals of 1.485Gb/s and 1.485/1.001 Gb/s conforming to SMPTE specification 292M - 1080i 30Hz and 1080i 30/1.001 Hz.

HDTV Digital to Analogue Converter I/O connections The 3417 is used with the 30mm K3417-3 rear connector. The HDTV input uses one BNC whilst re-clocked versions of the input are available on two further BNCs. Component outputs provided comprise Y, Pb and Pr on BNCs and an SVGA monitor feed on a 15 pin high density connector.
DIL switch settings control the following output and pattern generator modes: Setting the output mode The 3417 may be used in either the Y, Pb, Pr mode or the VGA mode. Make the selection with front edge DIL switch 0 as shown in the following diagram:...

3417 Adjusting the analogue video output Individual adjustments are provided for Y, Pb and Pr output amplitude. These adjustments are pre-set at the factory and should not require re-adjustment. Access to these controls, which are sited near the module edge connector, is not normally available with the card fitted in a rackframe.
