  • 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.
