Modules are selected by the user to suit their particular requirements. The SMS 8301A CAV to Serial Component Digital Converter Module accepts a component analog video (CAV) input (525 or 625 line) and converts it to an 8 or 10 bit 270 Mb/s serial component digital signal per SMPTE 259M/EBU Tech 3267 standard.

SMS 8301A Component Analog Video to Serial Component Digital Converter Signal Processing The three video input channels (Y/G, B-Y/B, R-Y/R) are passed through Analog Processing and Filtering circuitry then applied to the Analog–to–Digital Converter and Digital Filter block. Three A/D converters sample the video at 27MHz and converts it to 10–bit data.
Function Timing and Control The Microcontroller interfaces between front panel controls and the crosspoints and registers of the Digital Matrix and Blanking Gate Limiter and Rounder circuits. The controller also configures the chroma channel low pass filter ASICs and feeds registers which determine the mix coefficients for the Digital Matrix.

Installation Vertical Blanking Width Selection JP1 selects between Narrow or Wide vertical blanking width when operating in the 525 or 625 line standard. See Figure 2 below for the location and settings of JP1. NARROW WIDE NARROW WIDE Figure 2. JP1 Jumper Settings...
SMS 8301A Component Analog Video to Serial Component Digital Converter 8/10 Bit Output Selection JP101 selects between 10 bit or rounded to 8 bit serial data outputs. Figure 3 illustrates the location and settings for JP101. JP101 JP101 Figure 3. JP101 Jumper Settings...
Installation MII/BETA Format Configuration JP102 alters the parameters associated with the BETA and MII input selector switch on the front panel. It provides selection of US (setup 7.5 IRE present) or JAPAN (no setup 0 IRE) versions of the 525 line BETA and MII CAV formats. Figure 4 illustrates the location and settings for JP102.
SMS 8301A Component Analog Video to Serial Component Digital Converter GBR Format Internal/External Sync Selection JP103 selects a synchronizing pulse source for the GBR input CAV format, it does not affect the sync source for other CAV input formats. For all other CAV formats, the input Y channel sync is used as a reference regardless of the position of JP103.
Installation Chroma Filter Selection JP600 selects digital chroma channel low pass filter responses. In the NORMAL position, the chroma channel filter response is very flat and has a rapid roll off at the high frequency cutoff. The fast cutoff of the NORMAL filter can result in some overshoots and ringing on fast waveform edges but provides the best frequency response if the same video must be filtered multiple times.
SMS 8301A Component Analog Video to Serial Component Digital Converter External Sync Source JP900 selects an external sync source. Position A selects the loop through frame reference. Position B selects a terminating reference input used for this module only. NOTE: JP900 does not have to be set unless GBR Format Internal/ External Sync Selection (JP103) is in the External Ref position.
Installation Module Installation Follow the steps listed below to install a module into the SMS 8000 Frame. Insert the module into the frame so that the left and right edges of the module slide inward between the card guides. Press the front-panel retaining/ejecting tab in to lock the module in place.
SMS 8301A Component Analog Video to Serial Component Digital Converter Rear Connectors Inputs/Outputs The frame rear panel for each module consists of six BNCs, and one 9-pin D connector. Each module uses a unique overlay which labels the connector set appropriately for the function of that module.

Installation The calibration waveform consists of a four-video-line sequence within an eight line sequence. It starts with a line which contains the upper 1/4 of the 10-bit Y channel dynamic range and a Y channel 100% peak reference level. The next two lines are the upper or lower 1/8 of the C then C channel 10-bit dynamic...
