Introduction
Product Environment
The 8949MDA-CFR and 8949MDA-SFR modules can only be installed in a Geck-
oFlex frame (8900FF, 8900FX and 8900FFN). The devices can be located in
broadcast centers, video production facilities, OB vans and production trucks. The
main application of those products is the jitter reduction, the distribution of the
incoming SD or HD signals to the video processing devices (routers, switchers,
tape recorder, monitoring devices, etc.) and the downscaling of HD video signals
to SD or composite video signals for monitoring applications.
Software Version Requirement
This manual covers two software versions. It is important to distinguish the board
version (hardware implementation) related to the software version.
Note The part number is given on the Status web page if the 8900NET module is

Power Up
Power Up
The on-board LED indicators are illustrated in Figure 7. Upon power-up, the green
PWR LED should light and the CONFIG, FAULT and COMM LEDs should illu-
minate during the module initialization.
Note When a module is first plugged into a GeckoFlex frame, the 8900NET module
(if present) may report a momentary fault. This will clear once the module has
booted up.
Operation Indicator LEDs
With a valid input signal connected, PRES SIG LED (EQ in channel 1, OPT1,
OPT2) should be on. Refer to Table 5 on page 17 to see a complete list of possible
operating conditions and the resulting indicator status.

Remote Configuration
Remote Configuration
The 8949MDA-CFR/8949MDA-SFR configuration and monitoring can be also
performed using a web browser GUI interface or a networked Newton Control
Panel when the 8900NET Network Interface module is present in the GeckoFlex
frame (8900FFN). Each of these interfaces is described below.
8900NET Module Information
Refer to the 8900NET Network Interface Module Instruction Manual from 4.0
version for information on the 8900NET Network Interface Module and setting up
and operating the GeckoFlex 8900 frame network.
Note Upgrade software and instructions for the 8900NET can be downloaded from
the Grass Valley web site.
Newton Control Panel Configuration
A Newton Control Panel (hard or soft version) can be interfaced to the GeckoFlex
frame over the local network. Refer to the documentation that accompanies the
Newton Modular Control System for installation, configuration, and operation
information.
Control panel access offers the following considerations for module configuration
and monitoring:
• Ability to separate system level tasks from operation ones, minimizing the
potential for on-air mistakes.
• Ability to group modular products—regardless of their physical loca-
tions—into logical groups (channels) that you can easily manipulate with
user-configured knobs.
• Update software for applicable modules and assign frame and panel IP
addresses with the NetConfig Networking application.
• Recommended for real-time control of module configuration parameters, pro-
viding the fastest response time.
Note Not all module functions are available with the control panel, such as factory
default recalls.

8949MDA-CFR and 8949MDA-SFR Instruction Manual 19
Remote Configuration
An example of the Newton Configurator is shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8. Newton Configurator Example
Web Browser Interface
The web browser interface provides a graphical representation of module configu-
ration and monitoring.
Use of the web interface offers the following considerations:
• Web access will require some normal network time delays for processing of
information.
• Configuration parameter changes may require pressing Apply button or Enter,
upload processing time, and a manual screen refresh to become effective.
