Features

With the HDM500 High-Definition MPEG-2 Decoder, your application can offer:

• Continuous, seamless back-to-back playback of multiple MPEG streams (which

may be in different formats: Transport, Program, System or Elementary streams) in

all popular ATSC-compliant formats including 1920x1080I, 1280x720P, 720x576P,

720x576I, 720x480P and 720x480I

• High-quality conversion of source video to selected display format. Lock the output

to one format and all outputs will be in that format, regardless of the source format.

• Frame-accurate, synchronized playback across multiple decoders

• High-speed, random access and display of any I-Frame in an MPEG file for

variable speed reverse and forward play, plus seamless switching to any I-frame of

another stream

• PCR-based clock recovery for 24/7/365 real-time stream reception for continuous

decoding of streams received from any common delivery mechanism, including

satellite, LAN, and ATM networks

• Complete control over all HDM500 functions via the API for Microsoft Windows NT,

Windows 2000, and Windows XP. Applications can access the API via a C

interface or by using the __stdcall calling convention

• API compatibility with all Stradis SDM series standard-definition MPEG Decoders

Additional features for professional MPEG decoding and output:

• Still picture display from bit-map files with transition effects and simultaneous audio

playback for “slide shows”

• True-color graphics over video or still pictures with keying or indexed color with

blending

• Digital control of video saturation, brightness, contrast, and gamma

• Genlock (external framelock synchronization) input

• Hardware Audio/Video synchronization

• High-Definition Serial Digital Interface (SMPTE 292M) video output with 12

channels of embedded audio

• 6 AES3 digital audio outputs, may be used as 12 discreet audio channels or 4 may

be used as IEC 61937/SMPTE 337M-2000 digital audio outputs to Dolby Digital®

(AC-3) or MPEG Multichannel®audio decoders

• One pair of unbalanced analog audio outputs for monitoring

• Machine Control via remote connector (9-Pin, RS-422A) can be configured as

either “Controller” or “Device”

• Linear Time Code (LTC) output based on stream time codes or synthesized by the

API

• Letterbox and pan-and-scan options for displaying 16:9 images on a 4:3 display

• Support for extraction of EIA 608 / EIA 708 closed captions with captions inserted

into HD-SDI in accordance with SMPTE 334M

• API provides three interface levels: RateBuffer, Demux, and File Interface

• DirectShow® filters for compressed data input to the Stradis decoder

• SMPTE 302M-2002 support for uncompressed digital audio in the Transport,

Program, and System streams

• Wave file playback and raw PCM audio playback

• Audio “voice-over” capability allows the application to replace the audio from the

main multiplexed stream with another audio stream

• Virtual streams based on a single, repeated I-Frame that can be seamlessly played

back-to-back with other MPEG streams

• Decryption function for file-based decryption using Stradis-supplied or user-

definable algorithms

• Video capture interface for capturing decoded video output and placing it into PC

memory

• Video image can be displayed on the computer’s VGA monitor in lower resolution

to conserve PCI bus bandwidth

Stradis HDM500 Decoder Operation Highlights

• All decoding takes place in hardware

• 12-bit Video D/A, 2x oversampled

• Decodes MPEG audio (up to eight output channels) in parallel with MPEG video

• Supports SMPTE 302M-2002 uncompressed audio (up to 12 channels)

• IEC 61937/SMPTE 337M-2000 compressed digital audio output of AC-3 – ATSC

A/52 on up to four AES3 outputs

• VCXO with clock recovery for streams received by satellite, LAN, ATM or any

transport delivery mechanism

• Serial Digital Interface (SMPTE 292M or SMPTE259M-C) video output with up to

12 channels of embedded audio, plus DVI and analog RGB (or YpbPr) outputs

CAUTION

Observe all ESD precautions. Failure to do so could result

in damage to the equipment.

Hardware Installation

1. Do not remove card from anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.

2. Turn off the power to the computer and any device connected to it such as a

monitor, powered speakers, scanner, etc. Disconnect the power cord from the

wall or uninterruptible power supply.

3. Touch a metal surface on the computer to ground yourself and to discharge any

static electricity.

4. Remove the computer's cover.

5. Locate an unused PCI expansion slot.

6. Remove the metal cover from the back of the computer adjacent to the slot to be

used. Do not lose the screw.

7. Holding the Stradis HDM500 Card by the metal bracket, align it with the PCI slot

and press it down into the connector. Avoid touching the board’s edge connector.

The card must be completely seated into the connector.

10. Secure the Decoder Card into the expansion slot by replacing the screw removed

in step 6.

11. Replace the computer's cover and reconnect the power cables.

12. Proceed to “Installing the Device Drivers.”

Connector

(see page 13 for

pin outs)

JP2 is used to select composite vs. H sync. If JP2 is selected to composite then JP1

and JP6 are used for composite sync out and composite sync in, respectively.

Otherwise, JP1 and JP6 are used for H sync out and H sync in, respectively. All the

sync pairs work the same with the terminators. For example, in composite mode, JP1

and J6 are used for sync-in or sync pass-through. JP1 can switch a 75-ohm terminator

in or out. If you have multiple boards in one PC chassis that you wish to genlock to an

outside sync source, set JP1 to Hi-Z by removing the jumper factory installed between

“C” and “T” on the first board. (You may wish to leave the jumper plugged into “T” only

so that it will be available for future use.) Using a SAC012 "Sync daisy chain cable"

plugged into JP1 (“G” is Ground & “C” is Sync), you can then feed sync to the

subsequent boards, J6. Leave JP1 set to 75 Ohms on the last board.

J5 can be used to feed audio into a PC sound card. It is an unbalanced output.

J7 is for RS-422 machine control. Connect it to the Stradis SAC014 or your own

connector. To use the HDM500 as a “Device” install the cable with the red (pin 1) line to
