GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION SDA-1401
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 1 SDA-1401 ASI DA with EQ and Reclocking 1.1 Introduction The SDA-1401 is an ASI DA that provides up to 9 reclocked outputs with automatic equalization for up to 350 meters of cable (Belden 1694A). The amplifier also offers signal presence detection and remote reporting. The SDA-1401 includes reclocking, offering an extra level of signal integrity in long cable length applications.

GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 2 Installation 2.1 Unpacking Make sure the following items have been shipped with your SDA-1401. If any of the following items are missing, contact your distributor or Miranda Technologies Inc. • SDA-1401 Reclocked DA Module • SDA-1401-XXX Rear Panel as ordered (see section 2.3) 2.2 Installation in the Densité frame The SDA-1401 and its associated rear connector rear panel must be mounted in a DENSITÉ frame.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION Panels are available for the Densité 2RU frame, and also for the Densité 3RU frame. The 3RU versions are identified by the number 3 in the size designator portion of the part number, e.g. • SDA-1401-SRP is a 2RU version • SDA-1401-3SRP is a 3RU version Panels denoted by the suffix –R incorporate a bypass protection relay, as described in the next section.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3 Operation 3.1 Control options The SDA-1401 can be controlled in two different ways: • The local control panel and its push-buttons can be used to move through a menu of parameters and to adjust parameter values (see section 3.3) • Miranda’s iControl system can be used to access the card’s operating parameters from a remote computer, using a convenient graphical user interface (GUI). (see section 3.4) 3.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION The local control panel is fastened to the controller card by a hinged connector, and when installed is located in the front center of the frame, positioned in front of the power supplies. The panel consists of a display unit capable of displaying two lines of text, each 16 characters in length, and five pushbuttons. The panel is assigned to operate any card in the frame by pushing the SELECT button on the front edge of that card.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3.4 Remote control using iControl The operation of the SDA-1401 may be controlled using Miranda’s iControl system. • • This manual describes the control panels associated with the SDA-1401 and their use. Please consult the iControl User’s Guide for information about setting up and operating iControl. In iControl Navigator or iControl Websites, double-click on the SDA-1401 icon to open the control panel. 3.4.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION • If there are multiple errors, the error messages cycle so all can be seen • The icon whose status or error message is shown is highlighted with a mauve background In all cases, mousing over an icon will cause a more detailed description of its current status to appear in the message area. Error message cycling will resume when the cursor is no longer over an icon.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3.4.4 The Reclocker tab Use the pulldown in this panel to set the SDA-1401’s reclocker operating mode for DVB-ASI signals at 270 Mbps: • Bypass – the input clock timing is passed through to the output • On – the data stream is reclocked as it passes through the SDA-1401 Reclocking is automatically bypassed for SMPTE 310M/DVI-SSI signals. The card automatically provides equalization for up to 350 m of Belden 1694A cable at 270 Mbps. Figure 3.5 Reclocker tab 3.4.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION • GSM Contribution This column allows configuration of the contribution of each individual alarm to the GSM Alarm Status associated with this card. GSM is a dynamic register of all iControl system alarms, and is also an alarm provider for external applications.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 3.4.6 The Info tab When the SDA-1401 is included in an iControl environment, certain information about the card should be available to the iControl system. The user can enter labels and comments that will make this card easy to identify in a complex setup. This information is entered via the Info control panel. This panel also shows other information about the card.
GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION • Remote System Administration – opens the Joining Locators data box, which lists remote lookup services to which this SDA-1401 is registered. Add: Force the iControl service for this SDA-1401 to register itself on a user-specified Jini lookup service, using the following syntax in the Input data box: jini:// where is the ip address of the server running the lookup service, e.g.: Figure 3.
