  • Page 4: Product Overview

    The Flashlink ADC-SDI is a high-quality 10-bit NTSC/PAL composite 4:2:2 to digital video converter. ADC-SDI user parameters can be changed via switches on the unit, or via the GYDA control interface. To aid digital to analogue conversion of the digital output the ADC-SDI may generate a white pulse to mark first field of an 8-field-PAL/4-field-NTSC signal.

  • Page 11: Operation

    Figure 3. A switch is on when the tap is displaced in direction of the back-plane. The ADC-SDI card is shipped with all switches, except switch 1, 6 and 10, in the Off-position. Switch number 10 should always be in the On-position. The switches are discussed in logical rather than numerical order.
  • Page 12 5.2.1 Switch 1 - Manual mode Switch 1 is the manual mode switch. If set to on, the ADC-SDI is primarily assumed to be operated with switches alone. If set to off, the ADC-SDI is assumed to be used with a GYDA controller.
  • Page 13 5.2.8 Switch 10 - Programming mode Switch 10 is purely used for service upgrade of the ADC-SDI card. It should always be in the on position. If switch 10 is in the off position, the CardState LED will light up red, and the ADC-SDI card will enter programming mode.
