The 8985PRC is a fiber-ready SD/HD-SDI
video processing amplifier and color corrector.
It is ideal for correcting camera feeds, in-vision
monitor feeds, archive playback, or general
proc. amp duties.
This full-featured proc. amp allows RGB color
correction including gamma and component
adjustments on either SD or HD video. The
8985PRC can also control hue, chroma, and
luma similar to a traditional analog composite
proc. amp. Combined with a Newton control
panel, one or several channels of video can be
controlled easily and precisely by an operator
to make preliminary or even live adjustments
to levels and colors. All the functions of this
proc. amp are available in the 8985FSP frame
synchronizer where proc. amp control needs
to be combined with frame synchronization.
One of three types of optional SFP fiber optic
submodules can be installed in the fiber optic
rear cage connector to provide two fiber
inputs (Dual Receiver), two fiber outputs (Dual
Transmitter), or one fiber input and one fiber
output (Transceiver).
All parameters are set via the standard HTML
Web browsers or via the Newton control panel
(when installed in network equipped frames).
In addition, NetConfig and NetCentral can
be used for remote configuration and SNMP
signal health monitoring.
Refer to the rear module pinout and the block
diagram on the next page.

instructions see:

This module can be mounted in a GeckoFlex
frame but not in other 8900 series frames
including Gecko-A or Gecko-V frames. As this
module has no card-edge controls, an 8900NET
(Net Card) Network Interface module is required
to configure the module.
