GRASS VALLEY 8949SVM-UMD Datasheet

8949SVM-UMD/-LOC SD/HD-SDI Single Viewing Module
Key Features
• Monitor SD or HD-SDI feeds on flat-panel
monitors
• Drive video or low-cost computer monitor
panels
• Support for digital DVI or analog VGA-style
monitors
• UMD and tally control from an external
controller via Ethernet (8949SVM-UMD
only)
• Analog audio monitoring outputs
• Audio delay compensation for both module
and monitor processing
• Auto-sensing of monitor resolution and
scan rate via EDID
• Temporal conversion to display video or
non-video (PC) monitors
• Built-in display compensation for color
and black stretch
• Patterns, including PLUGE, for monitor setup
• Frame lock modes to ensure no skipped or
repeated frames
Applications
• Monitoring video in the production
environment on compact, high-quality
flat-panel displays
• Using low-cost computer displays for
viewing HD signals
• Creating a complete monitor station with
high-resolution viewing and stereo audio

The 8949SVM module displays SD-SDI
and HD-SDI signals on flat-panel monitors,
including video or computer TFT displays. The
output is via a DVI-I type connection and can
be used to feed digital DVI monitors or analog
VGA-style units. The 8949SVM supports a
wide range of monitor resolutions and refresh
rates. The input is auto-sensing for HD and SD.
The output is auto-sensing for resolution and
scan rate. These features can provide for zero-
configuration installation.
The 8949SVM-UMD includes on-screen UMD
text and tally indicators. The UMD and tally
facilities can be driven from a central controller
via the module's own Ethernet connection.
The module includes balanced analog audio
monitoring outputs. Display of 50 Hz video
formats on 60 Hz monitors is supported. The
picture can be tuned using the built-in black
stretch, color space conversion, and RGB proc
amp controls. These adjustments are usually

Frame Rate Conversion
The table below shows approximate available output
frame rates:
Output
Input
50 Hz 59.94 Hz
23.98 Hz
50 Hz Yes
59.94 Hz Yes
Output modes only available where supported by
the monitor. Shaded modes in the table above apply
temporal conversion. Computer scan rates are often
close but not exactly equal to 60 Hz. The 8949SVM
adjusts the blanking and vertical blanking to provide
60 Hz scan rate.
On-Screen Display
Tallies: Two (red and green)
UMD Text: 16 characters (standard ASCII characters
plus an extended character set)
Important Note: Configuration of the module
parameters is done with local on-board paddle switch
controls. The configuration for the UMD and tally
connections is not through the frame's 8900NET (Net
Card). For the 8949SVM-UMD, the UMD and tally
are connected through the module's own Ethernet
connection and managed by an external system
supporting TSL protocol.

missing from the monitor itself. This module
supports 16:9, 16:10, 4:3, and 5:4 monitor
screen aspects when fed with 16:9, 4:3, or
16:9 anamorphic (SD) pictures. The input is
auto-sensing for non-anamorphic HD and SD
units. SD inputs with anamorphic aspect ratios
can be displayed but the aspect ratio must be
set manually.
