FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
DESCRIPTION
The SDA-1141 is a reclocked serial digital video
distribution amplifier with analog video
monitoring outputs. The SDA-1141 handles V-bit
and provides 5 reclocked outputs and 4
copmposite analog video monitoring outputs; it
also provides automatic equalization for up to 350
meters of cable (Belden 1694A), and signal
presence detection and remote reporting. The
SDA-1141 includes reclocking, providing an
additional level of signal integrity in longcable
length applications. The SDA-1141 supports serial
digital video (SMPTE 259M) at 270 Mbps. The SDA-
1141 is designed to be used in a DENSITÉ frame. A
“single” or “double“ rear connector panel is
required.

UNPACKING
Make sure the following items have been shipped
with your SDA-1141. If any of the following items are
missing, contact your distributor or Miranda
Technologies Inc.
* SDA-1141 Reclocked Digital Video DA
* SDA-1141 rear panel (single or double)
INSTALLATION
The SDA-1141 must be mounted in a DENSITÉ
frame. The installation includes both the SDA-1141
module, and the rear panel module. It is not
necessary to switch off the power from these frames
when installing or removing the SDA-1141.
Detailed instructions for installing cards and their
associated rear panels in the Densité frame are given
in the Densité Frame manual.
Rear panel options
The SDA-1141 has nine outputs, and making these
available on BNC connectors at the rear of the frame
requires a double-width rear panel. Should the
intended use require a smaller number of outputs, a
single-width rear panel with four BNC output
connectors (two SDI and two Analog Video
Monitoring) is also available.
When a double-width rear panel has been installed,
the module must be installed in the right-most of the
two slots covered by the panel in order to mate with
the rear panel connectors. Should it be installed in
the wrong slot, the front panel LED will flash red.
Move the card to the other slot for correct operation.
No damage will result to the card should this occur.
OPERATION
Overview
The SDA-1141 is equipped with an on-board LED
status indicator, mounted on the front edge of the
card so as to be visible from the front of the card
frame, even when the frame door is closed. The
functionality of this status monitor is described below.
The DENSITÉ frame incorporates a central controller
card, located in the center of the frame, which is
equipped with an LCD display. The card handles
error reporting and remote control for all cards
installed in the frame. The display shows the error
status of any card in the frame whose SELECT
button has been pushed.

The SDA-1141 is also equipped with the remote
reporting and control capabilities of the DENSITÉ
series. Fault reporting is carried out on a frame-wide
basis. There is no individual rear-panel access to the
fault and status reporting port of the SDA-1141.
Interfacing to the outside world is handled by the
frame’s contoller card. The fault reporting protocol is
standardized across the DENSITÉ series of modules.
Status Monitor LED
The status monitor LED is located on the front card-
edge of the SDA-1141 module, and is visible through
the front access door of the DENSITÉ frame.
This multi-color LED indicates module status by
color, and by flashing/steady illuminationaccording to
the following chart. The chart also indicates fault
reporting for this card on the DENSITÉ frame’s serial
and GPI interfaces.

NOTE: A “Flashing Yellow” Status LED indicates that
the SELECT button on the front panel has been
pushed, and the card is being accessed by the
controller. The LED color assignments for the various
error conditions can be reconfigured by the user.
User Interface
Push the SELECT button on the front edge of the
SDA-1141 to see a report of the current error status
on the DENSITÉ frame’s controller card display. The
SDA-1141 has four possible status messages:
STATUS
ERROR NO REAR
OK
ERROR NO SIGNAL
ERROR NO LOCK
Pushing the SELECT button will cause the on-card
STATUS LED to flash yellow, and the card identifi-
cation and the current error message will be shown
on the controller card’s display. The STATUS LED
will revert to it’s normal state upon a second push of
the button, or after a short delay otherwise.
Example:
SELECT button pushed when the status LED is
green:
SELECT button pushed when there is no input
signal connected to the rear panel and the LED
is steady red:
The SDA-1141 has operating parameters which may
be adjusted using menus operated at the controller
card interface. After pressing the SELECT button on
the SDA-1141 card, use the keys on the local control
panel to step through the menu and adjust these
parameters. The menus, including the parameters
which can be adjusted, and the options which are
available, are shown on page 4.
CONFIG VIDEO menu:
Allows the user to enable or disable CHROMA (to
yield a monochrome monitoring output) and NTSC
set-up on the monitoring output.
CONFIG ALARM menu:
Allows the user to set the Status LED display for the
NO SIGNAL condition, and to determine whether a
GPI alarm will be triggered.
FACTORY DEFAULT restores the SDA-1141 to the
factory set-up conditions.
The use of the local control panel is described in the
controller card manual.
