The block diagram in Figure 2-1 illustrates the key functional units of the

NI 1410.

Figure 2-1. NI 1410 Block Diagram

Video Multiplexer

The video multiplexer routes one of the four AC-coupled video inputs to

the 10-bit ADC circuitry. The input impedance is 75 Ω.

Programmable Gain and Offset

The NI 1410 uses programmable gain and offset circuitry to optimize the

input signal range.

Analog Bandwidth Control Circuitry

You can select either the full bandwidth of 30 MHz or a reduced bandwidth

of 9 MHz. The 9 MHz bandwidth setting is available using a 5th order

Butterworth lowpass filter.

10-Bit ADC

The 10-bit ADC digitizes the conditioned video signal.
