  • Page 2: Module Overview

    Model 5450 Digital Video Frame Synchronizer MODULE OVERVIEW The 5450 Digital Video Frame Synchronizer accepts a serial digital signal for frame syn- chronization and timing with full 10-bit processing. Four serial outputs, one active loop- through and two composite monitors outputs are provided, in addition to a reference input.

  • Page 4 Model 5450 Digital Video Frame Synchronizer APPLICATIONS The 5450 Digital Video Frame Synchronizer is ideal for applications where serial (601) inputs to a device such as a router or switcher require retiming. Serial signal sources such as satellite feeds, studio signals and timing sources that are not synchronous or are out of time with the facility can be brought into time and made useful for destinations that have limited input timing capability or auto-timing windows.

    Model 5450 Digital Video Frame Synchronizer INSTALLATION Plug the 5450 module into any one of the slots in the 1 RU or 3 RU frame and install the plastic overlay provided onto the corresponding group of rear BNC connectors associated with the module location.
  • Page 6: Module Configuration And Control

    Model 5450 Serial Frame Synchronizer MODULE CONFIGURATION AND CONTROL The configuration parameters for each Avenue module must be selected after installation. This can be done remotely using one of the Avenue remote control options or locally using the module front panel controls. Each module has a REMOTE/LOCAL switch on the front edge of the circuit board which must first be set to the control mode you will be using.
