Audio rates are always 48kHz nominally but discrete AES inputs pass through sample rate converters
to align them with the output timing. Output AES is always precisely locked in time with the output
video. Analog audio is differential input and sampled at 48 kHz with 0 dbFS digital equivalent to +24
dBu analog. Dolby decoding is available from embedded audio or external AES, with the purchase of
the Dolby decoding option.
The product also provides full color processing control of the output video, with separate controls for
Gain, Lift, Saturation and Color Phase.
All card features are controlled through the card edge menu interface. There is a 4 character display, a
toggle switch, and two buttons to allow for intuitive control of all device features. All of the controls
on the card edge menu can also be accessed through the free remote control software Dashboard,
provided the openGear
TM
frame has a 8310-N network card installed.
The card has persistent storage of all settings. There is a menu option to trigger a save or load of stored
settings, or to restore the factory default configuration.

Input:
One 3-BNC SD analog video input
