HO3EF-400/12

This card serves the same purpose as the standard SDI Output card with the added features of being able to either: 1. Selectively replace the embedded audio with audio signals delivered to this cardfrom a TDM crosspoint, or 2. Shuffle the embedded audio within one video channel to the user’s requirements. The distinction between these two functions is based on a different type of firmware loaded in the boards, and a different sub part number. The 121405-1 is the embedder card, and the 121405-2 is the shuffler card. Each card has 12 fully independent video channels that allow for different video standards on adjacent channels. Audio timing information, which is only required for the Embedder version of the card, is derived from the TDM stream delivered to the board. The video path on the card includes a de-serializer / serializer pair that is always enabled in part of the signal path. Regardless of the state of the embedders or shuffler, the delay associated with this serialization / de-serialization is approximately 4 micro seconds. The video data is reclocked within this process, ensuring an output with the lowest possible jitter. The serializer component also includes a differential driver to feed the SFP modules on the rear panel. All portions of the video path are capable of passing SMPTE 259 and 292 (SMPTE 424 is not supported). Because this path is specific to SMPTE SDI signals, no other signal types can be passed through this card.
