Overview  
The ADC-8032A Analog Composite to SDI Decoder is a 10-bit broadcast quality decoder with a 12-  
bit analog to digital converter. It is specifically designed for broadcast or production situations in  
which an analog PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, or NTSC composite signal must be converted to a component  
SDI signal. Four SDI outputs are provided. The ADC-8032A fits into the Ross 8000 series digital  
frames, with four cards in the DFR-8104A (1RU), and up to ten cards in the DFR-8110A (2RU).  
Please refer to the frame User Manual for specific ventilation and cooling instructions to maintain  
optimum operating conditions. This card also fits into Leitch* FR-6800 series frames to provide you  
with greater installation versatility. The ADC-8032A is available in two different models:  
* Leitch is a trademark of Leitch Technology Corporation  
ADC-8032A User Manual (Iss. 04)  
Introduction 1-1  
 
ADC-8032A - The base model decoder includes Proc Amp, Line Delay, and Line  
Synchronizer timing modes.  
ADC-8032A-S - The “S” model includes a Frame Synchronizer, along with all the  
features available on the ADC-8032A  
The ADC-8032A-S version comes with a fully functional frame synchronizer, capable of  
synchronizing incoming video to house reference. Various timing modes are available to  
accommodate most situations. New techniques in frame synchronization contribute to the board’s low  
power requirements and compact design. The complete circuit for the ADC-8032A, including a 12-bit  
A-D converter, decoder, frame (or line) synchronizer, serializer, TTL tracking delay pulse, and  
microprocessor is contained on a single DA-sized card. Additional daughter cards are not required.  
A rich set of features is instantly accessible using simple card-edge switches and controls in  
conjunction with a concise Heads-Up Display. The ADC-8032A’s 10-bit decoding process provides  
excellent performance with all types of picture sources. In order to achieve the highest level of  
precision, all signal processing and decoding is performed entirely in the digital domain. The decoder  
uses a very sophisticated 5-line comb filter with advanced adaptive control algorithms.  
To make configuration simple and easy, the ADC-8032A offers a Heads-Up Display mode for most  
board-level adjustments. This display is especially convenient during setup, and for programming  
several ADC-8032A cards with identical configurations. With the display enabled, the parameter  
currently being adjusted has its value super-imposed over all board outputs. As an alternative to the  
Heads-up Display, the board’s Comlink Terminal Display allows you to view all settings  
simultaneously on any PC running VT-100 terminal emulation. The only requirement is a connection  
between the PC’s serial port and the ADC-8032A’s Comlink connector. This feature is especially  
convenient for making adjustments while the card’s output is on air.  
The ADC-8032A and the ADC-8032A-S decoders are part of a full line of RossGear digital  
distribution products engineered to satisfy the highest quality broadcast standards and the most  
demanding requirements of your facility.

General Operating Rules  
Please note the following important operating rules for the ADC-8032A:  
Whenever the card is powered up, it defaults to Bank A, and the Bank A LED is lit.  
The card defaults with switch access set to the locked position.  
To unlock the access refer to the “Bank A-F: Lock/Unlock  
Switch Access” section in this chapter before attempting to  
make any adjustments.  
Note  
For each of the supported video formats (NTSC / PAL / PAL-M / PAL-N) the card  
stores the default or user-adjusted video settings independently in non-volatile  
memory. The selection of settings is determined by the setting of JP5 Input select,  
the video standard jumper.  
Always check to see that the Input OK LED is lit. If not, check that the inputs are  
valid. If a reference is used, check that the reference is valid and that the reference  
standard matches the input standard.  
Before making adjustments, choose the method that you wish to use. Three methods  
are available:  
ADC-8032A User Manual (Iss. 04)  
Using Banks 4-1  
1. No display - Adjustments are made using the Function Select and Mode Select  
switches, without the assistance of the Heads-Up Display or the Comlink  
Display. Results should be confirmed with test equipment suitable for  
measuring the parameter being adjusted (such as a waveform monitor or vector  
scope).  
2. Heads-Up Display - Adjustments are made using Function Select and Mode  
Select switches in conjunction with the Heads-Up Display. Ensure that the  
Heads-Up Display is enabled (Bank A, Position 1). Note that the display is  
superimposed over all ADC-8032A video outputs.  
3. Terminal Display - Adjustments are made using Function Select and Mode  
Select switches in conjunction with the Comlink Display. Ensure that the  
Comlink port is properly connected to a PC. Refer to Chapter 8, Comlink”  
for instructions.  
Both the Heads-Up Display and the Comlink Display can be used  
Note  
simultaneously.  
Operating Conventions For Function Tables  
The following rules apply to the function tables that are used throughout this section:  
The label “ + ” instructs you to toggle the Mode Select switch (SW2) up  
momentarily.  
The label “ - ” instructs you to toggle the Mode Select switch (SW2) down  
momentarily.  
The label “ + (h) ” instructs you to hold the Mode Select switch (SW2) up for one  
second.  
The label “ - (h) ” instructs you to hold the Mode Select switch (SW2) down for one  
second.  
Selecting Banks  
Function Select switch functionality is divided into three banks of functions. Use the following steps  
to select Bank A, B or C as required.  
1. Rotate Function Select (SW1) to position 0. Note that position 0 is always used to  
select the bank, regardless of the bank that you are currently using.  
2. Toggle Mode Select (SW2) up or down to choose the desired bank. Three positions  
are available: Bank A, B or C.  
3. The table below illustrates each switch function, along with the Heads-Up Display  
label, the Status LED indication, and the default value. If you are not using a  
display, be sure to verify your selection on the Status LED's.

About the Timing Mode  
Timing Mode Summary  
Bank C-1: Timing Mode Procedure  
About the Timing Mode  
There are two versions of the ADC-8032A available. The standard ADC-8032A can be timed within  
one line in 37ns increments. The ADC-8032A-S with the frame synchronizer can be timed within one  
video frame in 37ns increments. The fine phase potentiometer (RV1) is provided for sub-pixel  
adjustment.  
The presence of a frame synchronizer means that the Frame Delay and Frame Sync modes are  
available. Without the frame synchronizer, the Line Delay and Line Sync modes are available.  
Looking at it another way, the S version provides a full frame of memory, whereas the non-S version  
provides a few lines of memory. This means that the non-S version provides enough timing flexibility  
to meet a wide variety of applications. It also means that these cards can be upgraded in the field for  
full frame synchronizing capabilities. The following information provides detailed explanations of  
when to use each mode, as well as an analysis of the advantages each mode has to offer.  
Line Delay (ADC-8032A & ADC-8032A-S)  
Line Delay mode uses the input signal to generate the output timing. In other words, it provides a  
constant delay between the input and the output. The external reference is not used in any way. This  
is useful in applications where a constant delay through the card is required.  
The delay through the card has a minimum value, as described in Chapter 7, “Specifications”. Output  
timing can be adjusted from this minimum delay up to an additional two lines in sub-pixel increments.  
ADC-8032A User Manual (Iss. 04)  
Using Banks 4-13  
Line Sync (ADC-8032A & ADC-8032A-S)  
Line Sync mode uses the external reference to generate the output timing on a line-by-line basis, but  
uses the input signal timing to decide when a frame begins.  
Whenever a signal is received, the output-timing generator waits for the next falling edge of H Sync  
on the external reference before displaying the incoming line. The advantage of this mode is that as  
long as all input sources are timed to be on the same line, the output timing stays constant, regardless  
of which input is selected. This is very useful in that all sources to the ADC-8032A (for example,  
from a routing switcher) only need to be lined up to the same line.  
The Line Sync mode has internal latency, so that using minimum delay still means that the output  
video will not be lined up with the external reference. To do so would have added even more latency,  
which would not be desirable. However, output timing can be delayed by up to two lines from the  
minimum delay point on, in sub-pixel increments, so that the output video can be lined up as required.  
If two input sources are not on the same line, then switching  
from one source to the other causes a jump in the output timing  
by an exact number of lines. For example, if the two sources  
are 2.5 lines apart, the output will jump by either 2 or 3 lines  
depending on the position of the sources with respect to the  
external reference.  
Note  
Threshold Point  
As the input signal is delayed in time, there comes a point where the output timing will have to jump  
by exactly one line (the output must always come after the input). This point is called the threshold  
point. When comparing the input signal with the external reference, the threshold point is 4.25  
microseconds before the falling edge of the external reference. In other words, if the input signal’s  
falling H sync edge is 4.25 microseconds before the external reference’s falling H sync edge, the input  
signal is said to be on the threshold point.  
In addition, there is built in hysteresis so that if an input source is on the threshold point, the output  
timing will be constant and will not jump back and forth by a line if the input signal varies slightly.  
However, if the input signal is exactly on the threshold point, the output timing may vary from one  
power up sequence to the other. In other words, the card may power up with different timing than the  
previous time it was powered-up. To avoid this condition, it is recommended to keep the input signal  
away from the threshold point. One microsecond can be considered a safe distance.  
In Line Sync mode, you must keep the falling H sync edge of  
Note  
the incoming video away from the threshold point.  
Frame Delay (ADC-8032A-S)  
The Frame Delay mode is identical to the Line Delay mode, except that the output timing can be  
delayed by up to a full frame of video. By using almost a full frame of delay, it is possible to set  
apparent negative timing, making it look like the output occurs before the input, although delayed by 1  
frame.  
Frame Sync (ADC-8032A-S)  
The Frame Sync mode makes it possible to use asynchronous sources. The output timing is generated  
entirely based on the external reference. Whether a synchronous or an asynchronous source is used,  
output timing is constant. The delay through the card will be the minimum latency (in the order of  
microseconds) to a full frame of delay.

Please note the following important points regarding H Delay:  
If you cross over the maximum H Delay, the value returns to 0 (zero) and the V  
Delay value increments by 1.  
Crossing the minimum delay returns the H Delay value to 1715 (NTSC) or 1725  
(PAL) and decrements the V Delay value by 1.  
Sub-pixel timing adjustments can be made using the RV1 Fine Phase Adjust  
potentiometer on the front edge of the card. Turning the pot clockwise increases  
delay, whereas turning it counter-clockwise decreases the delay. The range is  
approximately 45 ns, which is slightly longer than the step size of the H Delay  
function.

It is recommended that the Hotswitch Mode and Input Loss Mode  
be set the same with either: both set to freeze, or both set to black.  
There is circuitry in the sync stripper that removes unwanted  
impulses to make the circuit more noise tolerant. During a  
hotswitch, this could cause the ADC-8032A to interpret the signal  
has been lost. Since the Input Loss mode overrides the Hotswitch  
mode setting, having one set to freeze and the other set to black  
could lead to a momentary glitch on the screen.  
Important  
Bank C-B: Hotswitch Mode  
The ADC-8032A uses a phase-locked-loop (PLL) to synchronize its pixel clock to the incoming  
signal’s line rate. Because of this, any disturbance to the incoming line rate, such as an untimed  
switch outside the lock window of the PLL, will cause the PLL to lose lock. It can take several fields  
before the PLL can regain lock, and until it does so, the decoder cannot properly decode the incoming  
video. The result is that untimed switches will result in a disruption to the output video.  
To mask this disruption, a hotswitch mode was created. This is accomplished by momentarily freezing  
the last good frame, or momentarily going to black while the untimed switch occurs. Going to black is  
recommended since the output can be forced to black as soon as the hotswitch condition is detected.  
Freezing must wait until the next field, in which case a single corrupted field could get through to the  
output.  
In Frame Sync, the output timing will be undisturbed as it is based on the external reference. In Line  
Sync mode, as long as the input sources are on the same line relative to the external reference, and  
they do not cross the threshold point (see Bank C-1 Timing Mode for details on the threshold point),  
4-20 Using Banks  
ADC-8032A User Manual (Iss. 04)  
then the output timing will also be undisturbed. In all other cases, the output timing will be disturbed  
any time an untimed switch is made at the input of the ADC-8032A. This function sets the mode or  
disables it. Three choices are available:  
Off - disables the Hotswitch Mode.  
Black - the output momentarily cuts to black when an untimed switch is made at the  
input.  
Freeze - (ADC-8032A-S only) the last valid image is momentarily frozen. The  
freeze will affect either field 1, field 2 or the entire frame (as determined by the  
Freeze Mode function).  
In either case, the output returns once the card has synchronized to the input. Use the following steps  
to set the Hotswitch Mode:  
1. Select Bank C, and rotate Function Select to position B.  
2. Select the desired mode according to the table below:  
Toggle Mode Select up to advance up the list.

Freeze hotswitching is not supported in Line Delay, Line Sync  
and Frame Delay timing modes. If one of these timing modes  
is selected and freeze hotswitching is enabled, the hotswitch  
will go to black instead.  
Note  
Because output timing is disrupted in Line Delay and Frame  
Delay modes, hotswitching is not guaranteed to go completely  
black. These two timing modes should never be used if the  
input source is switched while on air, since the output timing  
will be affected, and this could affect equipment downstream of  
the ADC-8032A.

Details  
Overview  
The SMPTE 269M Fault Reporting system, also known as an SMPTE “alarm”, provides indication if  
one or more frame modules encounter a fault or an abnormal condition. The ADC-8032A module  
provides a jumper to enable SMPTE-269M fault reporting. The card connects by means of an internal  
interface circuit to an auxiliary telco connector on RossGear 8000 series frames. When the frame  
connection is interfaced with a customer-designed system of LEDs or audible alarms, faults can be  
traced to a specific frame when a card fault occurs within that frame.  
The following diagram illustrates a general arrangement for SMPTE 269M alarm reporting:  
Figure 5. SMPTE 269M Alarm Reporting: Internal interface and typical connections  
ADC-8032A User Manual (Iss. 04)  
SMPTE 269M Alarm Reporting 5-1  
Jumper Setup  
If fault reporting for the ADC-8032A is desired, use jumper JP4 - 269M Fault Report to set up the  
card.  
1. To access the jumper, remove the card from the frame by pressing down the white  
card ejector tab and pulling the card from the frame slot.  
2. Observing all static discharge and handling precautions, place the card with the  
component side facing up on a clean flat surface.  
3. To enable SMPTE fault reporting, set jumper JP4 to EN position. See the Jumper  
Setup section in Chapter 2 “Installation and Setup”.  
4. To disable SMPTE fault reporting, set jumper JP4 to DIS position. See the Jumper  
Setup section in Chapter 2 “Installation and Setup”.  
5. To return the card to the designated frame installation slot, hold the ADC-8032A  
card by the edges and carefully align the card edges with the slots in the frame. Then  
fully insert the card into the frame until the rear connection plug is properly seated.  
Frame Connections  
The SMPTE 269M Fault Reporting connection on RossGear 8000 series frames is provided by the  
auxiliary telco connector, AUX A, for interfacing with a customer-designed alarm system.  
Aux A Connectors for  
SMPTE 269M Fault Reporting  
Figure 6. SMPTE 269M Alarm Reporting Frame Connections  
Connect the frame’s AUX A connector to your facility’s SMPTE alarm circuit.  
Details  
The fault report contacts are closed when the card detects an internal failure or a power loss condition.  
Some internal failures are:  
Failure of the card to initialize  
Failure in the fault reporting circuitry  
Failure to detect a valid analog input signal to the card  
For additional information on alarm system design, refer to the SMPTE document ANSI/SMPTE

This chapter contains the following sections:  
Overview  
Cable Construction  
Connection and Configuration  
Overview  
The board’s Terminal Display feature uses the Comlink BNC (7) to establish a connection between a  
PC and the ADC-8032A. When properly connected, you can view your setup parameters on a PC  
running VT-100 terminal emulation. All tables are output in ASCII format using an RS-485 interface.  
Because of the nature of the frame, it is not possible to have a true differential signal. In this situation,  
using a BNC on the frame side, the connection is single-ended. Only the center conductor carries  
information, while the shield is grounded.  
Ensure that the PC and the card frame are at the same ground  
potential in order to avoid ground loops.  
Important!  
Although the interface is RS-485, the Comlink can function with most modern RS-232 equipment,  
thereby making it easy and convenient to use with standard PC COM ports. To connect the Comlink  
between the ADC-8032A and your PC, you require a coax adapter cable with a BNC connector at one  
end, and either a 9-pin or 25-pin RS-422 or RS-232 connector at the other end.  
ADC-8032A User Manual (Iss. 04)  
Comlink 6-1  
Cable Construction  
Construct a custom coax cable adapter as follows:  
On the Frame end of the coax cable, no change to the BNC cable is required. Ensure  
that the pin and shield are properly connected.  
On the PC end of the cable, make the following connections according to whether your  
PC port uses a 9-pin “D” or a 25-pin “D” connector:  
Regardless of whether your PC port uses a 9-pin “D” or a 25-pin  
“D” connector, the pin-out configuration may vary. Always check  
your PC’s Technical Guide to determine the correct pin-outs for  
your computer. The RX and GND pin-outs will vary from  
machine to machine.  
Important!

Connection and Configuration  
Once you have constructed the Comlink adapter cable, connect it and configure the PC as follows:  
1. Connect the cable between your PC’s serial port and BNC 7 on the rear panel of the  
ADC-8032A.  
2. With the custom cable properly connected, set up your PC’s serial port parameters as  
follows:  
19.2 K baud rate  
8 data bits  
No parity  
1 stop bit  
No flow control  
3. On your PC, run a program that uses VT-100 terminal emulation, such as  
Terminal.exe or HyperTerminal. With the ADC-8032A powered up, you should  
now have all setup parameters visible on the PC, as illustrated in the sample screen  
below.
