A Word of Thanks

Congratulations on choosing the openGearTM UDC-162 Up/Down/Cross Format Converter. The

UDC-162 is part of a full line of modular conversion gear for broadcast TV environments. The Sierra

Video Systems openGearTM line includes video decoders and encoders, audio embedders and de-

embedders, distribution amplifiers, format converters, and much more. Sierra openGearTM modular

conversion gear will meet your signal conversion needs now and well into the future.

Should you have questions pertaining to the installation or operation of your UDC-162, please contact

us at the numbers listed on the back cover of this manual. We are happy to help with any questions

regarding this or any other openGearTM card.

Overview

The UDC-162 is a universal input processing card with audio and video support. The video can be up,

down, or cross converted to a different format, and aspect ratio corrected to provide proper output

aspect. The video can be re-timed to a reference signal, and embedded audio will pass through with no

audio glitches, even on frame sync events (drops and duplicates).

The UDC-162 features a scaler card which provides the up, down, and cross conversion using de-

interlacing and motion adaptation for high quality up conversions. The scaler also provides user

adjustable aspect ratio control and zoom control. Separate controls are provided for SD and HD inputs

to allow the card to flexible handle mixed input formats.

The product also provides full color processing control of the output video, with separate controls for

Luma Gain, Luma Lift, Chroma Saturation and Color Phase.

All card configuration is done with a simple front panel menu. There is a four character text display to

view and control parameters, and a toggle switch and two buttons to navigate the menu.

The input and outputs of the UDC-162 are the following:

Installation and Setup

In This Chapter

This chapter includes the following sections:

Static Discharge

Unpacking

Rear Module Installation (Optional)

Board Installation

BNC Connections

Menu Structure

Factory Defaults

Static Discharge

Whenever handling the card and other related equipment, please observe all static discharge

precautions as described in the following note:

ESD

Susceptibility

Static discharge can cause serious damage to sensitive

semiconductor devices. Avoid handling circuit boards in high

static environments such as carpeted areas, and when wearing

synthetic fiber clothing. Always exercise proper grounding

precautions when working on circuit boards and related

equipment.

Unpacking

list to ensure that all items are included. If any items are missing or damaged, contact your sales

representative or Sierra Video Systems directly.

Page 10 of 32 UDC-162 Owner’s Manual (V 1.2)

Rear Module Installation (Optional)

If you are installing the card in a 8310-C-BNC or 8310-BNC frame (one with a 100 BNC rear module

installed across the entire back plane), skip this section.

If you are installing the card into a slot with no rear module, you should have ordered and received a

8310-RM-10 Rear Module with your card. You will need to install it in your 8310 frame before you

can connect cables.

Use the following steps to install the 8310-RM-10 in an 8310 openGearTM frame:

1. Refer to the openGearTM 8310 frame Owner’s Manual, to ensure that the frame is

properly installed according to instructions.

2. On the rear of the 8310, locate the card frame slot.

3. As shown in Figure 2, seat the bottom of the 8310-RM-10 in the seating slot at the

base of the frame’s back plane.

Figure 2. Rear Module Installation

4. Align the top hole of the 8310-RM-10 with the screw hole on the top edge of the

8310 back plane.

5. Using a Phillips driver and the supplied screw, fasten the 8310-RM-10 panel to the

8310 back plane. Do not over tighten.

This completes the procedure for installing the 8310-RM-10 in an 8310 openGearTM frame.
