  • Page 9: Product Environment

    Introduction Product Environment The 8949MDA-CFR and 8949MDA-SFR modules can only be installed in a Geck- oFlex frame (8900FF, 8900FX and 8900FFN). The devices can be located in broadcast centers, video production facilities, OB vans and production trucks. The main application of those products is the jitter reduction, the distribution of the incoming SD or HD signals to the video processing devices (routers, switchers, tape recorder, monitoring devices, etc.) and the downscaling of HD video signals...
