AJA D10CEA SDI to Component/Composite Converter User Manual — Introduction

Introduction

The D1OCEA converts SDI video with embedded audio to 10-bit component or

composite analog video and 4 channel balanced analog audio. The video outputs can

be conﬁgured as YPbPr (Betacam or SMPTE/EBU N10), RGB, composite or Y/C

(S-Video). Two re-clocked loop-thru SDI outputs are also provided. This versatile

low-cost converter is ideal for video/audio monitoring.

The 4 channel analog audio outputs can be wired in a balanced or unbalanced

conﬁguration. All audio output channels can be selected as group 1-4 from SMPTE

embedded audio. You have four settings of Audio level to choose from.

Output connections for video and audio are available on a 25 pin “D” subminiature

connector. A break-out cable is supplied with the converter for this purpose.

You can conﬁgure video and audio from a DIP switch accessed through a cut-out in

the converter’s case.

User Controls

The user interface for the D10CEA is an 8-switch DIP accessible

through a cut-out in the bottom of the unit. Use the DIP switches

to conﬁgure video outputs, pedestal, blanking, select audio

channel groups, and set audio level.

Switches 1 through 4 conﬁgure video output format. Switches 4

through 8 select the audio channel group and audio level. The

exact function of each DIP switch and what it controls is

described on the following pages.

Switch 1—Select Component (COMPNT) or Composite (CMPSTE) Out

Switch 2—Selects YPbPr/YC or RGB Component Outputs

Switch 3—Configure Pedestal For Composite

Note:

There is no effect with 625 input.

Switch 4—Configure Blanking

Switches 5 and 6—Select an Audio Channel Group for Output

Together these two switches select the group of audio channels that will be routed to the

XLR connectors on the break-out cable. Each audio group has four channels,

corresponding to the four connectors. The following table shows the group and channel

assignments selected by each switch position for the two DIP switches.

Switches 7 and 8——Select Audio Levels for Output

Together these two switches select audio output levels at the XLR outputs. The following

table shows the level selected by each switch position for the two DIP switches.
