Page 10: Overview
• For applications requiring even tighter frequency tolerance, or to ensure frequency coherence with house sync, the user can provide a 310 input and set the ASI-310 to lock its output bit rate to it. • The ASI-310 accepts a Transport Stream having a rate much higher or lower than the selected output 310 rate, provided that the net input rate (input rate not including null packets) is less than or equal to the selected 310 rate. -

• “Operator” and “User” refer to the person who uses the ASI-310. • “Board” and “Card” refer to the ASI-310 card itself, including all components and switches. • “System” and “Video system” refer to the mix of interconnected production and terminal equipment in which the ASI-310 operates. -
Page 14: Quick Start
Quick Start Assuming you have an openGear frame, an ASI-310 card and a suitable rear module, the following steps will get you started with ASI to 310 conversion: 1. Connect the frame to your LAN, using the instruction sheet "Connecting the openGear Frame to a Network", supplied with the frame. -
Page 15: Installation And Setup
Unpacking Unpack each ASI-310 you received from the shipping container, and check the contents against the packing list to ensure that all items are included. If any items are missing or damaged, contact your sales representative or Ross Video Ltd. -
Page 16: Rear Module Installation
Figure 3 shows two rear modules mounted on an openGear frame. If you received a rear module with your ASI-310, you will need to install it in your frame before you can install the ASI-310 itself or connect cables to the slot you have chosen for it. -
Page 17: Board Installation
This completes the procedure for installing the ASI-310 in an openGear distribution frame. Rear Module Labels Affix a connector label, if supplied, to the rear of the rack frame at the position occupied by the ASI-310, unless it was already attached to the rear module that you installed. -

Figure 6 shows a typical DashBoard screen. After it has established its connection to the frame containing the ASI-310, a list of modules is displayed at the left side. Clicking on a frame and then double-clicking on an ASI-310 causes a window for that module to be opened, resulting in the display shown here. In this simple example, there is only one device, the ASI-310, open. -

Overflow (ASI) means that the ASI input data rate, minus any nulls, is higher than the 310 Output rate. Consequently, data is being lost from the Transport Stream. Unknown Rear Module means that the ASI-310 does not recognize this rear module and thus may not work properly. -

ASI to 310 Settings Figure 11 shows the ASI to 310 settings menu, used to setup the ASI-310 converter. Figure 11: ASI-to-310 Settings 310 Output Bit Rate sets the output data rate to either 19.39 or 38.78 Mbit/sec. Output Packet Size lets you adjust the number of bytes per packet in the 310 output. This is normally 188 bytes, but you can set it to 204 or 208 bytes if needed for your application. -
