5360 AND 5365 OVERVIEW
The Avenue 5360 and 5365 modules convert four channels of analog video and audio to
four streams of SD SDI with embedded audio. Use these modules with routers, switchers,
remote trucks or any application that requires many channels of high quality video and
conversion. This is a perfect solution for satellite installations that need to feed a large
number of analog signals from IRDs into a monitor wall. Refer to the block diagram on the
following page.
12 bit analog to digital conversion, digital decoding of the composite input, and adaptive
comb filtering ensure superior output signals. Proc amp functions allow adjustment of
video, chroma, setup and hue.
Analog audio inputs are digitized at 24 bits of resolution and then embedded into the asso-
ciated video signal.
5360 (but not the 5365) also has a genlock reference input and a TBC/Frame Sync for each
of the four conversion channels. The 5360 can accept noisy asynchronous inputs and is
well suited for feeds from remote trucks and satellite receivers. Additionally, the 5360’s
outputs are independently timeable.
Like all Avenue modules, every function and parameter of the 5360 and 5365 can be con-
trolled from an Avenue Touch Screen, Express Control Panel, or the Avenue PC Control
Application. The Express Control Panel works very nicely for live shading with its
dedicated video, chroma, pedestal, and hue knobs. The continuous rotation velocity
sensitive knobs are responsive and dependable.
5360 and 5365 module memory registers can be used to save the complete configuration of
the modules, making it easy to change instantly between different configurations.
Modules at software version 2.2.0 or later support SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol) monitoring. For each applicable signal processing module, module, signal, and
reference status are reported. For complete details on using SNMP monitoring, refer to
the Avenue System Overview section in the manual that accompanies each frame.

APPLICATIONS
This section provides a typical application for using the 5360 Video ADC/TBC module.
Satellite Reception
As illustrated in the block diagram below, the 5360 will accept up to four analog inputs,
convert them to serial digital, then lock the signals to the house reference with full timing
capability.
This type of application for converting noisy asynchronous satellite receiver inputs is ideal
for the 5360. Each channel can be adjusted independently for video processing and timed
to the house reference to feed a digital facility router.

INSTALLATION
5360 and 5365 ADC Modules
Plug the 5360 or 5365 modules into any one of the slots in the 1 RU or 3 RU frame and
install the plastic overlay provided onto the corresponding group of rear BNC connectors
associated with the module location. Note that the plastic overlay has an optional
adhesive backing for securing it to the frame. Use of the adhesive backing is only
necessary if you would like the location to be permanent and is not recommended if you
need to change module locations. These modules may be hot-swapped (inserted or
removed) without powering down or disturbing performance of the other modules in the
system.
CABLING
Refer to the 3 RU and 1 RU backplane diagrams of the module on the following page for
cabling instructions. Note that unless stated otherwise, the 1 RU cabling explanations are
identical to those given in the 3 RU diagram.

MODULE CONFIGURATION AND CONTROL
The configuration parameters for each Avenue module must be selected after installation.
This can be done remotely using one of the Avenue remote control options or locally using
the module front panel controls. Each module has a REMOTE/LOCAL switch on the
front edge of the circuit board which must first be set to the desired control mode.
The configuration parameter choices for the module will differ between Remote and
Local modes. In Remote mode, the choices are made through software and allow more
selections. The 5360 and 5365 Parameter Tables later in this section summarize and
compare the various configuration parameters that can be set remotely or locally and the
default/factory settings. They also provide the default User Levels for each control. These
levels can be changed using the Avenue PC application.
If you are not using a remote control option, the module parameters must be configured
from the front panel switches. Parameters that have no front panel control will be set to a
default value. The Local switches are illustrated in the Front Panel Controls and
Indicators section following the 5360 and 5365 Parameter Tables.
Avenue module parameters can be configured and controlled remotely from one or both of
the remote control options, the Avenue Touch Screen or the Avenue PC Application. Once
the module parameters have been set remotely, the information is stored on the module
CPU. This allows the module to be moved to a different cell in the frame at your discre-
tion without losing the stored information. Remote configuration will override whatever
the switch settings are on the front edge of the module.
For setting the parameters remotely using the Avenue PC option, refer to the Avenue PC
Remote Configuration section of this document.
For setting the parameters remotely using the Avenue Touch Screen option, refer to the
Avenue Touch Screen Remote Configuration section of this document following
Avenue PC.
Express Panel operation is described in the data pack that accompanies the control panel
option.
