Introduction In This Chapter This chapter includes the following sections: • A Word of Thanks • Overview • Functional Block Diagram • Supported Audio and Video Formats • Documentation Terms A Word of Thanks Congratulations on choosing the openGear 9034 Analog to Digital Converter with Audio Embedding and Frame Sync. - Page 7 Audio rates are always 48kHz nominally but discrete AES inputs pass through sample rate converters to align them with the output timing. The sample rate converters can be disabled if necessary. Output AES is always precisely locked in time with the output video. Analog audio is differential input and sampled at 48 kHz with 0 dbFS digital equivalent to a +24 dBu analog.

Page 13: Board Installation
Board Installation Use the following steps to install the card in the openGear 8310 frame: Refer to the Owner’s Manual of the openGear 8310 frame to ensure that the frame is properly installed according to instructions. Heat and power distribution requirements within a frame may dictate specific slot placement of cards. -
Page 14: Card Control And Status
Card Control and Status Card Status The card indicates the status of the input signal with the four blue LEDs labeled with the different supported formats (1080, 720, 625, 525). When the card has locked to a particular input format, that LED will be illuminated. - Page 15 Proc Phase This is Chroma (C channel) phase adjustment, expressed in degrees, ranging from –360 to +360 in steps of one degree. Decoder SD Input Selects the input format for SD analog video. This must be changed to reflect the analog video format on the input for the 9033 to lock correctly.
- Page 16 Audio Delay Specifies the amount of additional audio delay after matching video delay. When the change is under one and a half frames, the change in audio delay will be applied without interrupting audio. When changing audio delay more than a frame and a half at a time, there will be a slight audio glitch. Video Delay Reports the current amount of video delay in ms.

Output Gain The gain of each output is adjustable from +30 dB to –100 dB in 0.1 dB steps. After –100 dB gain is set to –Inf, which means that output is present, but muted. Output Polarity If set to “Norm” output polarity is the same as input polarity, if set to “Inv” the output polarity is inverted. -
