9363 Multi-Format Reference Generator

Tabs

Overview

The highly flexible 9363 Multi-Format Reference Generator generates four reference signal pairs that are independently configurable as composite black burst or tri-level reference sources. Each output can be any industry standard rate related to a received input reference source, or can be generated using the card's internal clocking source. Timing for each output pair can be independently offset (in vertical lines or horizontal pixels) from the received reference or internal clock.

Features

Flexible, single-card source for any NTSC or PAL SD/HD broadcast or film reference rate
Develops output reference using external analog reference or stand-alone internal clock source
Outputs can be independently set for frame rate and delay relative from input/internal reference, or from each other
Genlock to output rates of 1:1, 1:2, or 2:1 relationship with clock source. Field Lock for interlaced format outputs from progressive clock sources.
AES/Word Clock output synchronized to any of the four card reference outputs
Remote control/monitoring via DashBoard™ software
Hot-swappable
Five year warranty
