  • Page 5: About This Manual

    This manual describes the features of a specific module of the 8900 Series Distribution Amplifier family. As part of this module family, it is subject to Safety and Regulatory Compliance described in the 8900 Series frame and power supply documentation (see the 8900 Series User’s Guide ). 8914 Instruction Manual...

    This is due to the relatively large processing times associated with DVEs and switchers. The 8914 provides a low cost and easy-to-use solution to the lip sync errors associated with these large delays. Minimizing space require- ments, the 8914 provides two fully controllable delay paths on a single board, allowing up to 20 delays (ten modules) in a two rack unit frame.

    8914 Dual AES/EBU Delay Distribution Amplifier Module Installation There are ten cell locations in the frame to accommodate either analog or digital modules. These are the left ten slots. Refer to Figure The two cells on the right are allocated for the power supplies. For addi- tional information concerning the Power Supply module, refer to the Power Supply manual.

    For example, setting Coarse to 0 and Fine to 1 produces 2 ms of delay. Each additional Fine switch increment adds 2 ms. Setting Coarse to 1 and Fine to 0 produces 32 ms of delay. Each additional Coarse switch increment adds 32 ms. 8914 Instruction Manual...
