Introduction
This manual covers installation, configuration, and operation for the
8985PRC SD/HD Processing Amplifier module. The 8985PRC offers the
full-spectrum of video processing controls to correct colors and avoid
illegal signal levels for applications not requiring a timed signal.
Module Features
This module provides video processing for environments utilizing SD and
HD signals in both broadcast and ProAV applications. These environments
require video signals to be processed for video quality.
The following features are available with this module:
• Two module set including a hot-swappable front and rear module.
• Up to ten audio or video modules in the same 2 RU GeckoFlex frame,
including all 8900 Gecko Series modules.
• A fiber optic submodule option provides optical input/output inter-
faces for all models. One of three different types of single-mode fiber
optic submodules can be used:
• 1310NM-DTL – provides two optical outputs (TX 1 and TX 2)
• 1310NM-DRL – provides two optical inputs (RX 1 and RX 2).
• 1310NM-TRL – provides one optical input (RX 2) and one optical
output (TX 1).
• Supports both HD or SD formats and passes embedded audio present
in the incoming video stream.
• Split screen mode allows the input to be compared to the processed
output.
• SNMP and product health monitoring is supported through the
8900NET module with applications such as NetCentral.
• Software updating using the NetConfig Networking application.

10 8985PRC — Instruction Manual
Introduction
Software Requirements
8985PRC software version 1.0.2 requires the presence of an 8900NET (Net
Card) Network Interface module running software version 4.3.0 or later for
software updating and is this version is recommended for proper opera-
tion. The front edge configuration controls for this module are not used.
Check the software version of your 8900NET module by navigating to the
Frame Status web page (Figure 9 on page 25) and noting the software
version given below the frame graphic. The latest version is recommended

8985PRC — Instruction Manual 11
Installation
Installation
The 8985PRC consists of a front and rear module set that installs into a
GeckoFlex frame.
Installation of the 8985PRC module set is a process of:
1. Placing the 8900GFR-R rear module in a rear frame slot (page 13),
2. Placing the front module in the corresponding front slot (page 14),
3. Installing the optional SFP Fiber Optic submodule (page 15), and
4. Cabling the signal ports (page 16).
All GeckoFlex front and rear modules can be inserted and removed from
an GeckoFlex frame with power on.
Module Placement in the GeckoFlex Frame
There are ten front and rear cell locations in the 2 RU Gecko Flex frame
(Figure 1) to accommodate either audio or analog and digital video module
sets. The 8985 module set uses the 8900GFR-R rear module that can be
installed in any one of the ten rear locations.

12 8985PRC — Instruction Manual
Installation
Module Installation Precautions
Please read and follow the precautions listed below before installing the
front and rear modules and any fiber optic option submodules:
• Use standard anti-static procedures during installation. As modules
can be installed or removed when the GeckoFlex frame is powered up,
before removing the cover, please use an anti-static bracelet tied to a
metal part of the frame.
• Install the rear module first, then the front module, then the optical sub-
module option (if used).
• When installing or removing a rear module, loosen or tighten the
screws holding the retainer clips to the frame manually with the
retainer clip tool provided inside the front cover of the frame or use a
2 mm (5/64”) hex screwdriver. Please do not use an electric screw-
driver.
Note On newer 751- version GeckoFlex frames, a Rear Retainer Clip removal tool
and 2 extra retainer clips and screws for installing them are provided on the
inside of the frame cover.
• Make every effort to leave the screws holding the retainer clips in place
(do not remove them completely). They are very small and can easily
drop into other equipment causing a shorting hazard. (Two turns of the
screw should be enough to loosen the screws, 3 turns or more will
remove it.)
• When installing a rear module, tighten the screws on the retainer clips
just until snug. The retainer clip screw maximum torque specification is
12 inch-lb/1.35 nm.
• If using a fiber optic submodule, handle it carefully, use anti-static pre-
cautions, and read the Fiber Optic Cleaning Requirement on page 16
before cabling.

8985PRC — Instruction Manual 13
Installation
Rear Module Installation
To install the rear module, refer to Figure 2 and the instructions below:
1. To remove a blank rear adapter cover (or a rear module already
present), manually loosen the two screws holding each retainer clip on
the rear adapter cover or rear module to the frame with the retainer clip
tool provided inside the front cover of the frame (newer model frames
only) or a 2 mm (5/64”) hex screwdriver. Do not remove the screws.
1. After loosening the retainer clip screws, pull up on each retainer clip
and completely remove it, leaving the screws in place.
2. Remove the blank rear adapter cover by inserting needlenose pliers
into the slots in the blank cover and pulling it off.
3. Insert the rear module into the empty slot, guiding it carefully into
place.
4. Replace each retainer clip over the two screws on both sides of the
module and push down to seat the retainer clip.
5. Tighten the two screws on each retainer clip just until they come into
contract with the retainer clip then tighten about a 1/4 turn more
(snug). Refer to the retainer clip screw torque specification (Table 2 on
page 47). The retainer clips should not bend or be bowed.
Note All unused rear slots in a GeckoFlex frame should have a blank rear adapter
cover installed.

Front Module Installation
After installing the rear module and the Genlock submodule if required,
install the front module as follows:
1. Remove the front cover of the frame if required.
2. Locate the corresponding front slot.
3. Insert the front module so that the plastic card guides on the module
top and bottom edges go over the upper and lower raised rail guides on
the right of the top and bottom of the slot(Figure 3).
4. Carefully slide the module into the rear connector.
5. Lock the front module ejector tab into the locking pin.
Note Before removing the front module, first remove the Fiber Optic submodule if

CAUTION The Fiber Optic submodule is static sensitive. Use static handling precautions
when installing or removing the submodule.
After the front and rear modules have been installed, if required, install the
SFP Fiber Optic submodule option into the rear module metal cage labeled
FIBER (Figure 4). The SFP submodule is hot-pluggable and may be
installed or removed with power applied to the module.
Note The submodule type is identified by name on the label or can be identified by
the direction of the two arrow indicators on the label.
1. Slide the fiber optic device into the metal fiber cage with the label and
handle to the right.
2. Push the device in as far as it will go without forcing it. It will not go
completely into the cage.
3. Cable the fiber optic connectors according to the instructions given in
Video Inputs on page 16 and Video Outputs on page 17.
Note Fiber inputs or outputs must be enabled in configuration.

Cabling
Cabling is done on the rear BNCs of the 8900GFR-R module illustrated in
Figure 5. Inputs and outputs are also illustrated on the I/0 Config web page
(I/O Config Web Page on page 32).
Fiber Optic Cleaning Requirement
Before making any fiber optic cable mating connections and after every
de-mating cycle, use an industry standard fiber optic cleaning kit,
including oil-free compressed air, to clean the fiber connectors and the con-
nectorized fiber end faces. This helps ensure optimum performance of the
fiber optic interface. Industry standard fiber optic cleaning kits can be pur-
chased on the web and in electronics stores.

Installation
For fiber optic inputs, the 1310NM-DRL or 1310NM-TRL SFP optical sub-
module must be installed. Fiber inputs must be enabled with remote con-
trols. Only one video input can be used at a time and must also be selected
with remote controls.
Video Outputs
There are four electrical coax video outputs at BNCs J5, J6, J7, and J8.
If a 1310NM-TRL SFP optical submodule is installed, one fiber optic output
is also available. If a 1310NM-DTL SFP optical submodule is installed, two
fiber optic outputs are also available. Each fiber optic output must be
enabled using local or remote controls. All coax and fiber optic outputs can
be active at the same time.
J1 – J4 BNCs
These BNCs are not used on the 8985PRC module. BNCs J1 and J3 are
looping inputs that support the optional Genlock submodule on the
8985FSP/FS modules with an external genlock reference. BNCs J2 and J4
output an auto tracking delay signal on the 8985FSP/FS that can be fed to
audio modules to synchronize the audio to the Genlock reference.

20 8985PRC — Instruction Manual
Configuration
Configuration
The 8985PRC module can only be configured remotely using the 8900NET
network interface GUI or a networked Newton control panel. An 8900NET
module running software version 4.3.0 is required. (See Software Require-
ments on page 10 for instructions for upgrading this software.)
Refer to the following sections for configuration instructions:
• Configuration Overview (page 20)
• Remote Control and Monitoring (page 22)
• Configuration Parameter Summary (page 53)
Operation of these control types is explained in detail in their respective
sections of this manual.
Configuration Overview
This section provides a brief overview of all parameters that can be config-
ured on the 8985PRC module. Use this section in conjunction with the spe-
cific configuration method instructions for each configuration type. Table 3
on page 53 provides a summary in table format of all parameters and their
ranges, default values, and remote web page and Newton control panel
function names and locations for setting each value.
Video Input Selection
Set the type of input connection from a coaxial electrical input or, if an
optional SFP Fiber Optic submodule is installed, one of the fiber optic
inputs.
System Configuration
System configuration is required for the input type and line rate and allows
enabling of the colorbars test signal.
Split Screen Control
A Split Screen function can be enabled for comparing the unprocessed
input to the processed output. This function is very useful when using the
color correction or video processor controls. The Split Screen orientation
can be set vertically or horizontally and can be adjusted for the amount of
video to be displayed (10-90%). Interactive Split Screen controls are present
on the System Config, Video Processing, and Color Correction web pages.
