VITEC SDM290EX

trades SDM290ex is a rock solid and fully featured hardware-based SD decoder that is suitable for the most demanding professional applications. It decodes MPEG 4:2:2 profiles at up to 50 Mbps and provides continuous, frame-accurate back-to-back playback of all standard MPEG2 streams. For maximum flexibility, Stradis SDM290ex features several video outputs including SD-SDI (SMPTE259M), RGB/analog YPbPr, S-Video, and composite. On the audio side, it decodes up to 8 embedded audio channels over SDI in addition to outputting AES3 digital audio and both balanced and unbalanced analog audio.

 **More Information**

 **General**

**MPEG Streams:**

- ISO/IEC 13818 and ISO/IEC 11172 compliant. Parses all streams: MPEG-1 Elementary and System streams and MPEG-2 Elementary, Packetized Elementary (PES), Transport, and Program streams.

**MPEG Video:**

- Decodes full 4:2:2 profile or MP@ML (4:2:0) up to 50 Mbps.

**MPEG Audio:**

- Decodes four stereo channels of MPEG-1 layers 1 and 2, ISO/IEC 11172-3, or MPEG-2 layers 1 and 2, ISO/IEC 13818-3.

- Also SMPTE 302M-1998 Audio.

**Digital bitstream input:**

- Through the PCI-Express bus (for “ex” boards, or PCI bus for legacy models) using bus mastering and burst transfer mode.

**Digital video output:**

- Serial Digital Interface (ANSI/SMPTE 259M-1997) with 8 channels of embedded audio (ANSI/SMPTE 272M-1994), BNC connector.

**Analog video output:**

- (M) NTSC, (M) NTSC-Japan, (B, D, G, H, I, M, N) PAL. 1V P-P, RS-170-A compliant, BNC connector.

- DC restored output. Luma and chroma signals are filtered by the standard requirements of RS-170-A and CCIR 624. In addition, RGB and YPbPr are provided on the SDM260e, SDM290e, and SDM230 decoders.

**Digital audio output (SDM290, 290e):**

- Two AES3 digital audio outputs through a DB-15 connector.

**Digital audio output (SDM280, 280e):**

- One AES3 digital audio output through a DB-15 connector.

**Digital audio output (SDM230):**

- One S/P-DIF (IEC 60958) digital audio output.

**Analog audio output (except SDM230):**

- Four balanced analog audio, 600 ohms, level up to 28 dBm. Nominal output level user is selectable. For example, a standard 0 dBm or 4 dBm nominal line level with 20 dB headroom is supported. Balanced analog audio through a DB-15 connector. Also four unbalanced audio outputs through two MPC standard sound card connectors.

**Analog audio output (SDM230):**

- Two unbalanced analog audio outputs (8dBu maximum).

**Genlock (SDM290, 280, 260):**

- Locks to the H-sync and V-sync, allowing variable delay about the H-sync in 9.26 ns increments. Chroma phase adjustable in 1.4-degree increments. Composite video input, 1V P-P, BNC connector.

**Genlock (SDM290e, 280e, 260e):**

- Locks to the H-sync, V-sync, and chroma burst, allowing variable delay about the H-sync in 1 ns increments. Chroma phase adjustable in 0.35-degree (1 ns) increments. Composite video input, 1V P-P, BNC connector.

 **On-Screen Display:**

- 8x2 to 740x480 NTSC or 8x2 to 720x576 PAL bitmap, using true-color or a 4-, 16-, or 256-color palette, 64 levels of blending and 64 levels of shading.
