Cautions
EMC Compliance Per Market
! WARNING ! To reduce risk of electric shock do not remove line voltage service barrier cover on frame
equipment containing an AC power supply. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
CAUTION This device is intended for environmentally controlled use only in appropriate video
terminal equipment operating environments.
CAUTION This product is intended to be a component product of an openGear® frame. Refer to the
openGear® frame Owner's Manual for important safety instructions regarding the proper
installation and safe operation of the frame as well as its component products.
CAUTION The BBG-1002-2UDX-DI FPGA is designed for a normal-range operating temperature
around 85° C core temperature. Operation in severe conditions exceeding this limit for
non-sustained usage are within device operating safe parameters, and can be allowed by
setting this control to Disable. However, the disable (override) setting should be avoided
under normal conditions to ensure maximum device protection.

Introduction BBG-1002-2UDX-DI Functional Description
BBG-1002-2UDX-DI Functional Description
Figure 1-1 shows a functional block diagram of the BBG-1002-2UDX-DI.
The BBG-1002-2UDX-DI dual-channel card provides two independent signal
paths (Path 1 and Path 2) of UDX conversion, frame sync, and audio
embedding and de-embedding on a single card. The two paths share an input
and output SDI crosspoint to receive and send two discrete SDI inputs and
outputs. The BBG-1002-2UDX-DI also includes AES de-embedding. Using a
basic signal presence input failover function, the card inputs can be set to
failover to an alternate input source in cases of signal loss. Frame sync
function can provide test patterns that can be enabled to serve as a confidence
check even in cases where the input video image is lost.
The BBG-1002-2UDX-DI also provides timecode/closed-captioning
conversion from packet-based timecode formats and CEA608/708 HD
formats to HD ATC, SD_ATC, and SD VITC waveform-based timecode.
BBG-1002-2UDX-DI Input/Output Formats
The BBG-1002-2UDX-DI provides the following inputs and outputs (which
can be independently used for Path 1 and/or Path 2:
•Inputs:
•3G/HD/SD SDI IN A thru SDI IN D –four 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs.
SDI IN A or SDI IN B can be set to failover to Aor Bin absence of
opposite channel of this pair.
•Outputs:
•3G/HD/SD-SDI OUT (1-4) –four 3G/HD/SD-SDI buffered video
outputs. Each output can be independently set as processed output
video or selected input video reclocked.
•AES OUT –BNC (AES-3id, 75Ω) ports as AES outputs (number of
ports dependent on model).
Note: Input select also allows internal connection from one processing path output
to the opposite processing path input. This allows “serial”processing
connections without requiring external jumpering on the unit rear panel.
