Product Description
The D VD 3020 is a high quality digital video
distribution amplifier designed primarily for
broadcast and professional applications.
Flexible configurations allow the D VD 3020 to be
used in dual 1 to 4 applications or 1 to 8
applications. Outputs can be reclocked, or non-
reclocked and even split between reclocked and
non-reclocked outputs within the same module.
Auto detection of standard digital video bit rates in
reclocked mode (143Mbit/s, 177Mbit/s, 270Mbit/s,
360Mbit/s, 540Mbit/s) and will transparently pass
data from 10Mbits/s to 640Mbits/s in non-reclocked
mode.
The D VD 3020 is part of the 3000 series of
MiniModules, which offer high quality, modularity
and flexibility in a very small form factor ideal for
applications where space is at a premium.
The modules can be used either stand alone using
the optional power supply brick, or as part of a
tightly integrated space saving system where up to
10 MiniModules can be mounted utilizing the
optional LYNX R FR 3005 / 3010 rack housing. This
includes integrated power supply and optional
remote control interfaces.

Stand Alone Operation
The D VD 3020 MiniModule can be used in a stand
alone application. There are two options for the use
of the module in this way.
a) Using the R FR 3005 Rack Frame 1 option. This
allows up to any 10 of the MiniModules to be
secured onto a rack frame assembly for 19 inch
rack mounting. This keeps the modules secured,
organized and out of the way. The R PS 3001
power brick option or the R FR 3010 option is
required to power each module. Please refer to
the R FR 3005 Reference Manual supplied with
this option for more details.
b) Single Use. The MiniModule can be powered
independently with the R PS 3001 option and
used in any location where this functionality is
required.
Caution. Care needs to be taken
when using the module in this way, as
it is not physically secured. Keep the
module away from the floor to avoid
the risk of someone stepping or
tripping on the unit, and locate the
unit away from excessive sources of
heat and any sources or moisture.
If using more than one MiniModule in any
installation, the R FR 3005/3010 Rack frame
combination is highly recommended.

Reference Manual D VD 3020 Version1.2
Page 13
Multiple Units
Most applications will require more than one
MiniModule, which can include any of the
available Series 3000 MiniModule product range.
There are two options for mounting multiple units.
a) Using the R FR 3005 Rack Frame option. This
allows up to any 10 of the MiniModules to be
secured onto a rack frame assembly for 19 inch
rack mounting. The R PS 3001 power brick
option or the R FR 3010 option is required to
power each module. Please refer to the R FR
3005 Reference Manual for more details.
b) Using the R FR 3010 Rack frame extension
option. Can be combined with the R FR 3005
Rack frame option. Each module plugs into a
connection bus, which provides common
power for all modules. (no R PS external power
supplies are needed). Remote control and
status monitoring of all modules is possible with
the addition of the R CT 5020 rack controller
and R CT 5030 master controller options. Please
refer to the respective reference manuals for
these options for details of mechanical
installation.
The very small size and density of the MiniModules
combined with the available rack frame options
allows the addition of a complex and custom signal
distribution system without taking any additional
front rack space. The rack frames are designed for
installation in the back of 19-inch racks where there
is normally plenty of available space. Ideal for
mobile truck installations and facility expansions
where space is at a premium.

Stand Alone Operation
The MiniModule requires the R PS 3001 power brick
option for stand-alone operation. Three versions are
available: R PS 3001 E for European markets, R PS
3001 U for the US markets or the desk power supply
R PS 3001-3. Please ensure you have the correct
power option for your region. The connection to
the module is made with a small 5-pin connector,
which has a twist bayonet securing system. Please
make sure the connection is solid and locked in
place. A strain relief is included within the module
to prevent excessive strain on the connection.
Signal connections should be made with care,
please ensure connections are correct and
compatible equipment is feeding / receiving the
signals from the module or damage can result.
Caution. Only use the optional Lynx R PS 1
power modules. Ensure the 5-pin power
connector is locked securely in place.
Caution. Care needs to be taken when
using the module in this way, if it is not
physically secured. Keep the module
away from the floor to avoid the risk of
someone stepping or tripping on the unit,
and locate the unit away from excessive
sources of heat and any sources or
moisture.

Switch Function Detail
Dip Switch 1
This switch is used to enable or disable local
adjustments. Set to ON enables the setting of the
other dip switches to configure the module. Set to
OFF will prevent any switch settings taking effect.
Note. The module has a microcontroller and flash ram. When this
switch 1 is set to ON any configuration settings made on the
module with the dip switches will automatically be written into
flash ram and stored. (see Auto Store) The module will function
normally with the switch left in the ON position but it is
recommended to set it to OFF to prevent accidental changes to
the stored module configuration if the switches are moved.
Dip Switch 2
When set to ON this configures the module for dual
1:4 mode of operation, OFF sets single 1:8 mode.
Note when in 1:8 mode IN 2 is used for the single input channel.
Dip Switch 3
This switch configures outputs 1 to 4 to be
reclocked or non reclocked. ON sets reclocked OFF
sets non-reclocked
Dip Switch 4
This switch configures outputs 5 to 8 to be
reclocked or non reclocked. ON sets reclocked OFF
sets non-reclocked

Locate Function
For large systems which have many modules in
various locations we have added a utility which will
help visually identify a module quickly. (When used
in conjunction with the optional control system and
software)
Once the module has been identified on the
control system it is possible to initiate the “locate”
function and flash the module front LED yellow in
the following continuous sequence.
3 short flashes…. Pause…. 3 short flashes …
This uses the alarm LED located on the front of the
module as well as any module edge LEDs (green)
that may be used in the module.
Use of the locate function will not interfere with the
normal operation of the module.
For more details on this feature please check the
documentation supplied with the controller
software
Auto Store
If no parameters are changed for 10 seconds then
the current settings will be written into flash memory
automatically, this can be seen by the front LED
flashing yellow, the module edge LEDs flashing
green four times.
