... About the Timing Mode There are two versions of the ADC-8032A available. The standard ADC-8032A can be timed within one line in 37ns increments. The ADC-8032A-S with the frame synchronizer can be timed within one video frame in 37ns increments. The fine phase potentiometer (RV1) is provided for sub-pixel adjustment ...
Page 32
... The advantage of this mode is that as long as all input sources are timed the same line, the output timing stays constant, regardless of which input is selected. This is very useful in that all sources to the ADC-8032A (for example, from a routing switcher) only need to be lined up to the same line. ...

Page 38
... Bank C-B: Hotswitch Mode The ADC-8032A uses a phase-locked-loop (PLL) to synchronize its pixel clock to the incoming signal’s line rate. Because of this, any disturbance to the incoming line rate, such as an untimed switch outside the lock window of the PLL, will cause the PLL to lose lock. It can take several fields before the PLL can regain lock, and until it does so, the decoder cannot properly decode the incoming video ...
Page 39
... In all other cases, the output timing will be disturbed any time an untimed switch is made at the input of the ADC-8032A. This function sets the mode or disables it. Three choices are available: • Off - disables the Hotswitch Mode. • ...

... Overview The SMPTE 269M Fault Reporting system, also known as an SMPTE “alarm”, provides indication if one or more frame modules encounter a fault or an abnormal condition. The ADC-8032A module provides a jumper to enable SMPTE-269M fault reporting. The card connects by means of an internal interface circuit to an auxiliary telco connector on RossGear 8000 series frames. When the frame connection is interfaced with a customer-designed system of LEDs or audible alarms, faults can be traced to a specific frame when a card fault occurs within that frame ...
Page 42
... Jumper Setup If fault reporting for the ADC-8032A is desired, use jumper JP4 - 269M Fault Report to set up the card access the jumper, remove the card from the frame by pressing down the white card ejector tab and pulling the card from the frame slot. ...
Page 43
... Although the interface is RS-485, the Comlink can function with most modern RS-232 equipment, thereby making it easy and convenient to use with standard PC COM ports. To connect the Comlink between the ADC-8032A and your PC, you require a coax adapter cable with a BNC connector at one end, and either a 9-pin or 25-pin RS-422 or RS-232 connector at the other end. ...
