SDI video inserter

6041G-HD - Instrumentation Technology Systems (ITS)

The Model 6041G-HD is a ruggedized SDI video inserter. When the unit is placed within 100 meters of an SDI video source, the 6041G-HD enables accurate time stamping of each video frame/field. Time stamping prior to any compression and transmission of the SDI stream from a remote source such as a range camera, ensures that time recorded is accurate to within 10 microseconds of the frame or field sync.. Since the unit reclocks the SDI stream, it may also be used as a repeater extending the distance from the SDI video source to the transport insertion equipment (compressor, Ethernet, or other transport means). The unit auto-detects and decodes the imaging format permitting most SDI 480i/p, 720p or 1080i/p NTSC or PAL sources to be connected without having to change system settings. The time message may be inserted into the active video image, with the color (1 of 16) and location selected by the user. When selected, the time is also inserted into the SDI meta-data (vertical ancillary packets) in accordance with MISB STD 0605.3 and NATO STANAG 4609. The time reference is derived from either the internal GPS receiver or an external IRIG B time code source. If the GPS or IRIG lock is lost the unit will automatically continue to run on an internal clock.
