Specifications
MPEG Streams ISO/IEC 13818 and ISO/IEC 11172 compliant. Parses all streams:
MPEG-1 Elementary and System streams and MPEG-2 Elementary,
Packetized Elementary (PES), Transport, and Program streams.
MPEG Video Decodes full 4:2:2 profile or MP@ML (4:2:0) up to 50 Mbps.
MPEG Audio Decodes four stereo channels of MPEG-1 layers 1 and 2, ISO/IEC 11172-3
or MPEG-2 layers 1 and 2, ISO/IEC 13818-3. Also SMPTE 302M-1998
Audio.
Digital bitstream input Through the PCI-Express bus (for “ex” boards, or PCI bus for legacy
models) using bus mastering and burst transfer mode.
Digital video output Serial Digital Interface (ANSI/SMPTE 259M-1997) with 8 channels of
embedded audio (ANSI/SMPTE 272M-1994), BNC connector.
Analog video output (M) NTSC, (M) NTSC-Japan, (B, D, G, H, I, M, N) PAL.
1V P-P, RS-170-A compliant, BNC connector. DC restored output. Luma
and chroma signals are filtered in accordance with the standard
requirements of RS-170-A and CCIR 624.
In addition, RGB and YPbPr are provided on the SDM260e, SDM290e, and
SDM230 decoders.
Digital audio output
(SDM290, 290e)
Two AES3 digital audio outputs through a DB-15 connector.
Digital audio output
(SDM280, 280e)
One AES3 digital audio output through a DB-15 connector.
Digital audio output
(SDM230)
One S/P-DIF (IEC 60958) digital audio output.
Analog audio output (except
SDM230)
Four balanced analog audio, 600 ohm, level up to 28 dBm. Nominal output
level user selectable. For example, standard 0 dBm or 4 dBm nominal line-
level with 20 dB headroom is supported. Balanced analog audio through a
DB-15 connector. Also four unbalanced audio outputs through two MPC
standard sound card connectors.
Analog audio output
(SDM230)
Two unbalanced analog audio outputs (8dBu maximum).
Genlock (SDM290, 280,
260)
Locks to the H-sync and V-sync, allows variable delay about the H-sync in
9.26 ns increments. Chroma phase adjustable in 1.4 degree increments.
Composite video input, 1V P-P, BNC connector.
Genlock (SDM290e, 280e,
260e)
Locks to the H-sync, V-sync and chroma burst, allows variable delay about
the H-sync in 1 ns increments. Chroma phase adjustable in 0.35 degree
(1ns) increments. Composite video input, 1V P-P, BNC connector.
On-Screen Display 8x2 to 740x480 NTSC or 8x2 to 720x576 PAL bitmap, using true-color or a
4-, 16-, or 256-color palette, 64 levels of blending and 64 levels of shading.
