Digital Production Switchers - Synergy 2 MD

Physical Characteristics

Control Panel Connector Types
Peripheral 1 through 8:		D Type, 9 pin
Tally out 1 through 4:		D Type, 25 pin
Remote Aux Panel 1 and 2:		Telco, 6 pin
Keybord port:		IBM PS/2 Type
To rack frame:		8 pin shielded Telco
AC Power 1 & 2:		3 pin IEC with Locking Retainer

Power Consumption - Control Panel
Input voltage:		90V~250V AC, 47~63Hz
Control panel:		350 VA

Power Consumption - Rack Frame
Input voltage:		100~120V AC or 220~240V AC, 47~63Hz
Frame (with no options):		~ 150W
Frame (with all options):		~ 500W

Environmental Characteristics

Panel and rack frame separation:		1000 ft (305 m) max
Ambient temperature range:		0 - 40 degrees C
The video processing circuitry is cooled by a set of fans using side-to-side airflow. The fans are speed controlled by multiple temperature sensors within the frame.
The control panel is convection cooled (no fans) for silent control room operation.

Video Inputs
Number of inputs:		16, 26, or 32
Equalization: (using Belden 1694 cable)		> 75 m @ 1.5Gb/s > 150 m @ 270 Mb/s
Impedance:		75 ohm, terminating
Return loss:		> 20 dB @ 1.5GHz
· All inputs are SMPTE-259M/292M serial digital non-looping.
Synergy MD comes standard with 16 inputs and additional inputs of 10 or 16 are purchased.
Inputs can be used for either key or video.
The reference input is selectable, analog black for Standard Definition operation, and the recommended tri-level sync for High Definition operation.
The reference input is a looping, non-terminated input.

Video Outputs
Number of video outputs:		16
Return loss:		> 18 db @ 1.5GHz
Rise and fall time:		800 mV +/- 10% (SD) 240 ps +/- 10% (HD)
Signal level:		800 mV +/- 10%
DC offset:		0 volts
Overshoot:		< 8%
All video outputs are 10-bit SMPTE-259M-C (SD Mode) or 10-bit SMPTE-292M serial digital (HD Mode).
EDH is inserted into all MLE outputs and can be disabled. Aux Bus outputs do not have EDH insertion but do pass previously inserted EDH. (SD Video Mode)
Line CRCs are inserted into all MLE outputs and can be disabled. Aux Bus outputs do not have line CRCs inserted but do pass previously inserted line CRCs. (HD Video Mode)

Jitter
HD		Tri-Level Sync - Alignment (> 100KHz) <0.2 UI - Timing (<10Hz) <1.0 UI Performance not guaranteed with composite reference.
SD		Tri-Level Sync - Alignment (> 1KHz) <0.2 UI - Timing (< 10 Hz) <0.2 UI Composite Ref. - Alignment (> 1KHz) <0.2 UI - Timing (< 10 Hz) <0.5 UI

System Timing

All video inputs zero time relative to reference input, auto timing will correct for inputs out of time by up to +/- 0.25 line.

System delay approximately 500 pixels
