Figure 2-1: 8950-SID Rear Panel
The following sections describe the purpose of the rear panel connectors of
the 8950-SID. Sections 2.1.1 to 2.1.2 describe the specific signals that
should be connected to the 8950-SID.
2.1.1. Digital Video Connections
SDI IN:
A BNC connector for input of 10 bit serial digital video
signals compatible with the SMPTE 259M standard.
SDI BYPASS: A BNC connectors for output of 10 bit serial digital video
signals compatible with the SMPTE 259M standard. This
video will normally be the video input with VITC (encoded
with source ID information) and characters inserted onto it.
When the SDI bypass relay is activated (on power failure or
from the front panel) the SDI BYPASS output is a direct
relay connection to the SDI IN.
SDI OUT:
A BNC connectors for output of 10 bit serial digital video
signals compatible with the SMPTE 259M standard. This
video will be the video input with VITC (encoded with source
ID information) and characters inserted onto it. When the
SDI bypass relay is activated (on power failure or from the
front panel) the SDI OUT output will not have any video
signal on it.
2.1.2. Tally Connections
FAULT TALLY OUT: A BNC connector for output of a SMPTE 269M fault
tally. The output will be open circuit when the 8950-SID is
processing video normally.
when the SDI bypass relay is active.
Revision 1.0
The output will be grounded
