Main / Optical interfaces / PORC-3231
| PORC-3231 series SDIembedded optical receiver with synchronization, auxiliary audio output and bidirectional RS-232/RS-422 support |
PORC-3231 optical receivers convert an optical signal into electrical, support SDIembedded synchronization to the REF, auxiliary audio output. PORC-3231 supports the bidirectional RS-232/RS-422 communication over an optical link. PORC-3231 module occupies two slots in the PROLFEX 1U/3U racks.

PORC-3231 general description
Simplified schematics
Optical signal is amplified and demodulated. The resulting SDI is decoded into the 10-bits 4:2:2 stream which is processed to recover video and audio. Video stream is buffered and synchronized to the REF signal. The deembedded audio is buffered and a user-controllable delay is applied. The resulting audio stream is reembedded into an output SDI, also an analog or digital format is available at an audio output. RS-232/RS-422 data is deembedded from an input optical signal, the return RS-232/RS-422 channel is embedded into the output optical signal. The monitor video output provides the PAL picture with the audio level meter OSD.

Controls and indicators
PORC-3231 frontal panel:
The operation mode is selected by toggling the MODE button, the editing is done by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons. Pressing the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously resets a parameter to a default value. The FREEZE button controls the "frame freeze" function.
The editable modes are:
- INP GROUP SEL – to select an audio group number for deembedding
- OUT GROUP SEL - to select an audio group number for reembedding
- VU METR – an audio bar-graph OSD placement and scale controls
- TON – 1kHz test-tone generator ON/OFF in a selected audio channel
- GAIN 1/2 - gain controls in the first stereo pair
- GAIN 3/4 - gain controls in the second stereo pair
- TIMING H - SDI to REF synchronization within a TV line
- TIMING V - SDI to REF synchronization within a TV frame
- TIMING AUD DELAY - audio delay in TV line increments
- FREEZE - the "frame freeze" mode ON/OFF
The indicators:
- REF – lit if there is a valid REF video signal
- INP - lit if there is a valid input video signal
- AUD DET – lit when an input signal contains valid audio packets
- EDH MIN/HOUR – lit if an EDH error was detected whithin the last minute/hour interval
- ADVANCE - displays the current value of delay/advance of SDI signal relative to the REF
The remote control and management from a PC
All the “PROFLEX” modules are remote controllable from a PC. This facility is available if a rack is fitted with a CPU module (ordered separately). |
