The 6041G-HD is a ruggedized SDI video inserter from Instrumentation Technology Systems (ITS) through Australian distributor Metromatics.
When the unit is placed within 100 meters of an SDI video source, the 641G-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 relocks 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 DSI 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 colour (1 of 16) and location selected by the user.
When selected the time is also inserted into the SDI meta-data (vertical ancillary packets).
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.
The 6041G-HD is remotely controlled via either an Ethernet or RS-232 port. Commands allow the operator to specify all annotation and read the unit status and time data.
The 6041G-HD is housed in a ruggedized aluminium enclosure,2.5" high, 10" wide(including mounting flanges) and 7" deep.
It is powered by 9-36VDC.
