Details
The GearLite DAC-9213-PVM is a Multi-Definition SDI to Analog Component Converter. The DAC-9213-PVM automatically equalizes up to 305m (1,000 ft.) of 1694A cable at 270Mb/s, and up to 100m (325 ft.) of Belden 1694A cable at 1.485Gb/s rates. Two reclocked outputs are also provided.
The converter automatically detects the input standard, supporting both SMPTE 259-C (270Mb/s) and SMPTE 292M (1.485Gb/s) standards. The converter supports the following formats: 480i, 576i, 720p, 1080i. The SDI signal is converted with 11-bit processing and 10-bit DACs to three analog component signals: YPbPr or RGB. A built-in proc amp allows adjustments to levels, gain, setup, and blanking.
Supported Monitors
The DAC-9213-PVM can be used in any monitor which supports the Sony model BKM120D (SD) or BKM142HD (HD) input modules. However, to display high definition signals, the monitor must support HD component analog inputs.
The following Sony models support the DAC-9213-PVM and are HD capable:
| Monitor Size | BVM Series | PVM Series |
| 9" Monitors | BVM-D9H1U/1E | |
| BVM-D9H5U/5E | ||
| 14" Monitors | BVM-D14H1U/1E | PVM-14L5/1 |
| BVM-D14H5U/5E | ||
| BVM-14L5/1 | ||
| 20" Monitors | BVM-20L5/1 | PVM-20L5/1 |
Stand-alone version
For other HD capable monitors which cannot support the DAC-9213-PVM internally, including CRT, plasma, and LCD models, Ross offers a similar GearLite module to be used externally. The DAC-9213-R can be mounted external to the monitor, and includes a universal power adapter and rack mounting hardware.
