A Word of Thanks
Congratulations on choosing an openGear HDC-8223A(-S) 3G/HD Down-Converter and
Distribution Amplifier. Thank you for joining the group of worldwide satisfied Ross Video
customers!
Should you have a question pertaining to the installation or operation of your HDC-8223A(-S),
please contact us at the numbers listed on the back cover of this manual. Our technical support
staff is always available for consultation, training, or service.

1–2 • Introduction HDC-8223A(-S) User Manual (Iss. 03)
Overview
The HDC-8223A(-S) is a monitoring quality down-converter that also offers optional audio
support. The down-converted SDI and analog composite signals are selected through four, 2:1
crosspoints allowing any combination of SD-SDI or analog composite (CVBS) outputs on the
four card processed video outputs. With the R2C-8223A full rear module, four analog audio
channels are available.
The HDC-8223A(-S) also provides ARC processing and timecode/closed-captioning conversion
from packet-based timecode formats and CEA608/708 HD formats to SD VITC-based
(waveform) timecode and line 21 closed captioning (available on both SDI and analog video
outputs).
The HDC-8223A(-S) provides the following inputs and outputs:
•3G/HD/SD SDI IN A / SDI IN B – two dual-rate SDI inputs (GUI-selectable or basic
failover)
•PROCESSED VIDEO OUT (1-4) – via four independent 2:1 GUI-selectable crosspoints,
each of the four BNC outputs can independently be set as SDI or analog composite
(CVBS) outputs
•RLCK OUT (1-4) – four 3G/HD/SD-SDI reclocked buffered video outputs
•AN-AUD OUT (1-4) – four balanced analog audio outputs (R2C-8223A rear module only)

HDC-8223A(-S) User Manual (Iss. 03) Introduction • 1–3
Video Subsystem Overview
The HDC-8223A(-S) features a downconverting scaler, video proc, and user-adjustable aspect
ratio control and zoom control. The HDC-8223A(-S) video subsystem also provides the functions
described below.
Rear Modules
The HDC-8223A(-S) physically interfaces to system video connections at the rear of its frame
using a rear module.
All inputs and outputs shown in Figure 1.3 enter and exit the card via the card edge backplane
connector. The rear module breaks out the HDC-8223A(-S) card edge connections to BNC and
other connections that interface with other components and systems in the signal chain.
For More Information on...
• the required rear modules, refer to the section “Supported Rear Modules” on page 2-3.
Input Select
The HDC-8223A(-S) can select from either of two 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs using either manual
control, or settings that provide failover to the alternate secondary input. (Failover is simple
signal presence check only.)
Video Processor
The HDC-8223A(-S) provides full color processing control (luma gain and lift, chroma
saturation, and color phase) of the output video.
Scaler Function
The scaler function provides down-conversion to SD from multiple standard SD, and 3G/HD
video formats and multiple frame rates, with auto-format detect/down-conversion of SMPTE
424M/292M/259M formats. Color framing is preserved on CVBS outputs for all conversions.
The scaler function also provides aspect ratio conversion that provides a choice from several
standard aspect ratios. User-defined settings allow custom user-defined H and V aspect ratio
control, as well as pan/tilt control. Reticule insertion provides safe action area marking as well as
other reticule functions and patterns.
Frame Sync (HDC-8223A-S Only)
This option provides for frame sync control using either one of two external REF IN 1, 2
reference signals distributed with the openGear frame, or the input video as a frame sync
reference.
This option also allows horizontal and/or vertical offset to be added between the output video and
the frame sync reference.

1–4 • Introduction HDC-8223A(-S) User Manual (Iss. 03)
Frame sync can select from either of two card frame reference sources, or free-run input video
sync. In the event of input video loss of signal, the output can be set to disable video, go to black,
go to an internal test signal generator pattern, or freeze to the last intact frame (last frame having
valid SAV and EAV codes).
An internal test signal generator provides a selection of 10 standard patterns such as color bars,
sweep patterns, and other technical patterns. The generator output can be invoked upon loss of
program video input, or applied to the program video output via user controls.
Closed Captioning Processor
This function provides support for closed captioning setup. When receiving HD-SDI, both
CEA 608 and CEA 708 are supported, with CEA 608 and CEA 708 (containing CEA 608
packets) converted to line 21 closed captioning on outputs down-converted to SD.
Timecode Processor
As illustrated in Figure 1.1, this function provides for extraction of timecode data from the input
video, and in turn re-insertion of timecode data into the output SDI or analog composite. In this
manner, timecode data can be preserved, even after format conversion. The function can monitor
the SDI video input of the card for supported timecode formats and convert the timecode to either
or both ATC_VITC or VITC waveform (with selectable odd/even field line number control).
ATC_VITC and VITC waveform outputs are available on SD-SDI outputs; VITC waveform only
is available on CVBS outputs.

HDC-8223A(-S) User Manual (Iss. 03) Introduction • 1–5
Audio Overview
The audio processor operates as an internal audio router. This function chooses from the
following inputs:
• 16 channels of embedded audio from the SDI video input (1-to-1 routing to SDI output)
• 16 discrete tone generators (with ascending frequencies of 100Hz to 16 kHz; default
-20dBFS level)
• Downmix L/R
The router function provides the following audio outputs:
• 16 channels of embedded audio on SDI processed outputs
• 4 channels of balanced analog audio on four 3-wire balanced analog audio outputs
Output audio crosspoints allow any of these sources to be routed to any of the 16 embedded
output channels or the four analog audio outputs. Each output channel has a mute control and
phase invert control. Peak-responding DashBoard bar graph level meters are also provided.
The processor function provides group enable/disable and de-embedding of the 16-channel
embedded audio SDI input. A bulk delay control allows lip sync correction by offsetting the
audio from video by up to 3000msec.
Audio Down Mix Function
The Audio Down Mixer function provides a downmix to Left only/Right only (Lo/Ro). Any five
embedded channels can be selected for Left (L), Right (R), Center (C), Left Surround (Ls), and
Right Surround (Rs) individual signal to be down-mixed into stereo pair Down Mix Left (DM-L)
and Down Mix Right (DM-R). The resulting stereo pair DM-L and DM-R can in turn be routed to
any embedded audio pair as desired (or de-embedded to an analog audio output). (Figure 1.2.)
