SIERRA VIDEO 1 Chapter Introduction The Sierra Video -10 Audio and Video distribution amplifiers offer high performance solutions to your video and audio distribution needs. A wide variety of plug-in modules can be used in a choice of two 3RU (801012 or 801028) or a 1 RU (801014) frame for video. And a 3RU audio frame for stereo or mono configurations. The frames provide low voltage AC input to each module. The Series 10 modules can be removed or re-inserted with power to the frame either on or off.
SIERRA VIDEO Warnings (continued) Route power cords and other cables so that they are not likely to be damaged, or create a hazard. Dangerous voltages exist at several points in this product. To avoid personal injury, do not touch unsafe connections and components when the power is on. To avoid fire hazard, use only the specified type, correct voltage, and current rating of fuse. Always refer fuse replacement to qualified service personnel.
SERIES 10 DA EMC Regulatory Notices Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Part 15 Information: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC standard rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions: This device may not cause harmful interference This device must accept any interference received including interference that may cause undesirable operations. Delivery Damage Inspection Carefully inspect the frame and exterior components to be sure that there has been no shipping damage.
SIERRA VIDEO Frame 801014 Frame 801012 Frame 801028 Frame 801017 Note The models shown here and in the subsequent sections are non-redundant power video and audio frames. These models also offer redundant power supplies. Consult the rear panel serial number and model number to verify your order and product.
SIERRA VIDEO 2 Chapter Installation Introduction Installation procedures are similar for all frames covered under this manual. Exceptions, if any, have been noted in each of the following paragraphs. Rack Mounting Carefully inspect the frame to ensure that there has been no shipping damage. Make sure all shipping material is removed from the router frame.
SIERRA VIDEO AC Power Connection Before connection of AC power to the #RU frames check the setting of the 115/230 switch. The switch as accessed by removing the front cover. Behind the right side door retainer, you will see the switch. If set to the incorrect voltage, use a small flat blade screwdriver to move the switch to the correct setting. After connecting the AC, turn on the power switch, check for illumination of the power status LED above the power switch.
SERIES 10 DA Audio Connections The Series 10 audio distribution amplifier frame (801017) uses a terminal strip design containing 6 pin removable connectors for input and output connections. Each 6 pin section of the strip that is fixed to the rear of the frame mates with an un-pluggable mating half to which the actual wires are connected. This 6 pin group is one balanced stereo audio line.
SIERRA VIDEO 3 Chapter Video Modules Introduction Sierra Video makes a complete line of high performance 10 output video distribution amplifiers for broadcast, production, and presentation applications. Each of the frames in the Series 10 DAs use 10 output plug-in modules. Modules can be loaded into frames can be different types. Frames only supply power and I/O connections. 501011 Basic Video DA The 501011 Basic Video DA is the SVS low noise, low distortion, 150 MHz bandwidth 1x10 plug-in DA module.
SIERRA VIDEO 501519 Differential Input Video DA The 501519 eliminates the effects of power line hum caused by circulating ground currents in the coaxial cable shield. The differential input circuitry also rejects unwanted common-mode signals induced by stray magnetic fields and electrostatic interference. Circuit Description The 501519 is a plug-in module. Refer to the 501519 schematic diagrams in the schematic section of this manual.
SERIES 10 DA 501019 Equalizing Video DA The coaxial cable used in distributing video signals is not a perfect transmission medium. For signals of primary importance, lengths of 15 meters or more should be equalized to restore the higher frequency detail in the video signal and to preserve signal quality. The adjustable equalization range of the 501019 is up to 300 meters of RG59. Circuit Description The 501019 is a plug-in module.
SIERRA VIDEO 501022 Pulse DA The 501022 is a plug-in module specifically designed to drive 10 loads with 4V p-p composite sync and similar drive pulses. Circuit Description The 501022 is a plug-in module. Refer to the 501022 schematic diagrams in the schematic section of this manual. The 501022 is powered by low voltage AC which comes into the module through the edge connector.
SIERRA VIDEO 4 Chapter Audio Modules Introduction The 501026 is a high performance fully differential distribution amplifier designed for demanding applications. Using surface mounted components to increase density, each board is capable of driving 10 separated outputs with user adjustable gain range of –6 dB to +18 dB.
