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 and in order
to configure this module an 8900NET (Net Card)
Network Interface module is required.
8995UPC
SD/HD video format upconverter, front module and dual
wide rear module set
8900GEN-SM
Genlock submodule. This submodule mounts to the
front module to provide reference input for the module
and frame reference bus. This is required for frame
synchronizing operation
SFP-13103G-M1TRX
Fiber transceiver. Low-power 1310 nm single-mode
optical transceiver submodule (one fiber input/one
fiber output)
SFP-13103G-M1DTX
Dual fiber transmitter. Dual low-power 1310 nm single-
mode optical transmitter submodule
SFP-13103G-M1DRX
Dual fiber receiver. Dual low-power 1310 nm single-
mode optical receiver submodule
8995UPC Upconverter and Frame Sync
Applications
Where incoming feeds may be in either•
480i or 576i SD video formats and require
upconversion to HD video
For live production where low latency•
conversion is required
For conversion of signals with embedded•
audio
The 8995UPC is a compact, broadcast-quality
fiber-ready upconverter. Conversion is of the
highest quality, with pixel-adaptive motion
processing. In addition, the 8995UPC provides
the most robust signal handling with the low
hysteresis synchronizer, redundant reference,
and perfect-picture mode of the 8985FS.
The 8995UPC is fully featured with color-space
conversion and a powerful video proc. amp
that includes RGB color correction with gamma
and component with Y/C clip level adjustments.
Powerful embedded-audio handling includes
channel-level and Dolby E stream routing. PCM
audio processing eliminates the clicks caused
by the video synchronizer dropping or repeating
frames. This module silences the effects of hot
upstream video switching using a V-fade.
VITC and closed caption data conversion are
supported for same-frame-rate conversions,
making this an ideal module for playout
applications.
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).
Refer to the rear module pinout and the block
diagram on the next page.
