  • Page 47 The RD-70 AFD implementation preserves the native AFD code from the video elementary stream and is inserted into the SDI ancillary data output on DID/SDID 0x4105. The SDI output is not modified in anyway based upon this data. SDI line number for AFD carriage is configurable via the VBI tab.
  • Page 48 Genlock System The RD-70 can synchronize its SDI and CVBS outputs to an external sync signal using the SYNC IN input and the Genlock control system. The SYNC IN input signal's frame synchronization is used to generate SDI and CVBS output pixel clocks, frame synchronization and audio clocks that are locked to the SYNC IN reference.
