Installation and Setup In This Chapter This chapter includes the following sections: • Static Discharge • Unpacking • Rear Module Installation (Optional) • Board Installation • BNC Connections • Menu Structure • Factory Defaults Static Discharge Whenever handling the card and other related equipment, please observe all static discharge precautions as described in the following note: Static discharge can cause serious damage to sensitive semiconductor devices.
Rear Module Installation (Optional) If you are installing the card in a 8310-C-BNC or 8310-BNC frame (one with a 100 BNC rear module installed across the entire back plane), skip this section. If you are installing the card into a slot with no rear module, you should have ordered and received one of the RM-9032-A module. You will need to install it in your 8310 frame before you can connect cables. Use the following steps to install a rear module in an 8310 openGearTM frame: 1.

Board Installation Use the following steps to install the card in the openGearTM 8310 frame: 1. Warning Refer to the Owner’s Manual of the openGearTM 8310 frame to ensure that the frame is properly installed according to instructions. Heat and power distribution requirements within a frame may dictate specific slot placement of cards. Cards with many heat-producing components should be arranged to avoid areas of excess heat build-up, particularly in frames using convection cooling. 2.
Card Control and Status Card Status The card indicates the status of the input signal with the four blue LEDs labeled with the different supported formats (625, 525). When the card has locked to a particular input format, that LED will be illuminated. When the card has not locked to a particular video format, the card will search all possible formats, and the lights will cycle rapidly. Menu Navigation The card can be configured from a menu system built in to the front card edge.
Proc Phase This is Chroma (C channel) phase adjustment, expressed in degrees, ranging from –360 to +360 in steps of one degree. Decoder SD Input Selects the input format for SD analog video. This must be changed to reflect the analog video format on the input for the 9032-SD to lock correctly. Valid SD formats are GBR, Component SMPTE, Component MII, Component Betacam, Component Y/C, and Composite. SD Pedestal (Setup) Selects between 0 IRE and 7.5 IRE of setup (pedestal) on the input analog SD signal.
Video Delay Reports the current amount of video delay in ms. Reset Frame Sync Resets the frame sync, clearing any buffered audio and video. You must reset the framesync after manipulating the horizontal and vertical offset in order re-establish correct audio and video co-timing.
