Maxtron AD-5300 HD/SD YUV to SDI Converter
The Maxtron AD-5300 is a dual-rate universal 10-bit Analog-to-SDI converter for conversion of SD (YUV,
RGsB) or HD (SMPTE-274M, YUV, RGsB) analog video to 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080 24p, and 1080i
SDI formats (SMPTE-259/292/296). The AD-5300 integrates analog sources into an HD/SDI digital video
environment where a mix of analog and SDI sources is required. Applications include video monitors, disk
recorders, broadcast production, nonlinear editing stations, and rental and staging events. HD analog is
sampled at 74.25MHz while SD inputs are oversampled to 54 MHz and in both cases the output circuitry
includes a VCXO filter to miminize serializer jitter. A digitally controlled processing amplifier with memory
allows digital adjustment of R/V, B/U, G/Y gain, ABLC on/off, RGB/YUV input format, and auto or manual
sampling clock phase.
The Maxtron AD-5300 is especially suited for adding HD-SDI outputs to most HDV cameras or decks by using
the component outputs of such devices. The AD-5300 also provides both Color Bars and the SDI Checkfield
(Pathological) test patterns to facilitate transmission path testing.
Powered by standard 5V wall mounted power supply (provided), and protected with automatic reset fuses,
these units incorporate built-in power surge and transit protection. All Maxtron products are RoHS and
Green compliant.
