The DDAA132P is a single SDI to PAL/NTSC or Y/C monitoring encoder with distribution amplifier.

It has one input and a maximum of four analogue outputs (which can be any mixture of PAL/NTSC and Y/C pairs) and four reclocked SDI loop-throughs.

The DDAA132P is ideal when there is a requirement to monitor and distribute a feed using the same device, such as on the output of a matrix.

Providing non-broadcast conversion of SDI sources to composite PAL/NTSC or Y/C, the DDAA132P is ideal for driving picture monitors, waveform monitors and vector scopes and for distributing SDI signals.

It has an 8 bit input with a 9 bit digital to analogue converter to maintain the composite signal resolution, and selectable blanking.

The DDAA132P has four very useful test patterns on the analogue outputs which can be selected by GPI control. The patterns are Pluge (used to line up monitors), Vertical Edge Markers, Luma/Chroma Ramp and EBU Colour Bars.

The 100mm x 266mm module can be controlled manually from board edge or from GPI.

Flexible outputs are available, with the RM01 frame rear module giving two composite outputs and three SDI loop-throughs and the RM02 and RM18 four composite outputs and four SDI loop-throughs.

Crystal Vision offers the choice of three monitoring encoders to allow customers to select the exact combination of outputs and other features they require.
