8964FS Four-Channel SDI Frame Synchronizer
The 8964FS provides a very compact and
low-cost alternative to the 8981FS by providing
four complete SDI frame synchronizers. Using
the latest technology enables the 8964FS to
achieve unsurpassed density, providing 40 full
featured frame synchronizers in just 2 RU. This
module can also operate in a fixed delay mode
with no reference required. In either mode,
the output can be phased relative to input
or reference up to one frame in increments
of 37 ns. All adjustments can be performed
on the module's card edge controls. The on-
screen display capability greatly simplifies
card-edge configuration.
