The 500FC-DA-HD VistaLINK® Frame Controller with Distribution Amplifier card provides a single point of access to communicate with VistaLINK® enabled 500 series of cards. The 500FC-DA-HD provides a 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet port and communication is facilitated through the use of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The 500FC-DA-HD handles all SNMP communications between the frame (500FR) and the network manager (NMS), and serves as a gateway to individual cards in the frame. The 500FC-DA-HD also provides an RS-232 serial port at the card edge to set up the network addresses.
In addition the 500FC-DA-HD provides an on board reclocking distribution amplifier for HD/SD signal at rates of 1.5Gb/s and 143Mb/s to 540Mb/s. The DA features an auto-equalized input with eight reclocked outputs and has been designed for use as a SMPTE ST 292-1 (1.5Gb/s), DVB-ASI or SMPTE ST 259 distribution product.
Features
- Complies with IEEE 802.3 100Base-TX and 10Base-T Ethernet standards
- 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet or 10 Mbps Ethernet data transfer, selected by auto-negotiation
- Full duplex or half-duplex operation, selected by auto negotiation
- RJ-45 connector for network cable connection
- Card edge RS-232 serial control port for configuration
- Front panel LEDs indicate module status
- Rear panel LEDs indicate Ethernet link, activity and speed
- Provides frame/chassis status information through enabled hardware via VistaLINK® including frame status, card insertion/removal counters, and 500FC-DA-HD software version number
- Comprehensive signal and status monitoring through SNMP and VistaLINK®
DA Features
- Normal mode for SMPTE ST 259 (143 - 540Mb/s) or SMPTE ST 292-1 (1.5Gb/s) signals - autodetects correct bit rate
- Configurable for DVB-ASI and Non-Reclock mode using VistaLINK® control
- Fully hot-swappable from front of frame with no BNC disconnect required
- Independent isolated output drivers to ensure no cross channel loading effects (i.e. no need to terminate unused outputs)
- 8 outputs, with optional reclocker
