8083XDS-AD Analog and SD-SDI XDS Encoder
Evertz does not recommend altering the jumper settings for port A, as it may
make in-field firmware updates very difficult for the user.

we recommend using a small slot-style plastic screwdriver or
one with a plastic guide over the tip. This will prevent possible
shorting to nearby components on the circuit board if the
screwdriver slips off the adjustment screw.

Preview Video Connections
SDI PREVIEW OUT: A BNC connector for output of 10 bit serial digital
video signals compatible with the SMPTE 259M standard. This
video will be the SDI video input with data inserted onto it when
the bypass relay is NOT activated.
activated, this connector will have NO video output.
DECODER OUT:
Two BNC connectors for composite analog output of
the SDI video signal, with the captions decoded and inserted as
open captions over the video. The front panel menus are used
to determine which data channel will be decoded. This output
can be connected to any analog monitor to verify that the
captions or XDS data has been encoded correctly on the SDI
program path. If the bypass relay is activated, this connector
will have NO video output.
ANALOG PREVIEW OUT:
analog video signal, with the captions decoded and inserted as
open captions over the video. The front panel menus are used
to determine which data channel will be decoded. This video
will be the analog video input with data inserted onto it when the
bypass relay is NOT activated and can be connected to any
analog monitor to verify that the captions or XDS data has been
encoded correctly on the analog program path. If the bypass
relay is activated, this connector will have NO video output.
2.1.3 Serial Port Connections
PORT A: A 9-pin male 'D' connector for connection to a computer with
XDS control software. The front panel Engineering menus are
used to set the correct baud rate, word size and parity for use
with your captioning software. (See section 3.3) This port is
also used to update the firmware in the XDS Encoder (See
section 5.4)
As configured from the factory, the pinout of this connector is
designed so that you can use a readily-available "null modem"
cable to connect to your computer via RS-232 port. Jumper
settings inside the unit may alter this pinout, and reconfigure for
RS-422 communications. Please refer to Figure 2-4 and Figure
2-5 for typical port pinouts and connections to a computer.
