Switcher Module Description
The following is a description of the functions of each frame module type.
The modules are located in two “bays” referred to as A (front bay) and C
(rear bay). The module locations are shown in Figure 3-2 and Figure 3-3.
Each module has a six-digit assembly number followed by a two-digit
version number and letter to identify it. For example the Sync Generator
Module is numbered 064801–XX with a letter following the dash number.
It may also be referred to as the 801 Module. This number can be found on
the silk screen in different locations on each module circuit board.
Included in the descriptions are the input and output signals and the
microprocessor(s) that control that specific module. Unless otherwise
indicated in the description, all modules and mezzanine modules with the
same part number are interchangeable.
For the video modules the descriptions answer the following questions:
■What does the module do?
■What are the input signals?
■What are the output signals?
■Which microprocessors are used in each area of the module?
For the processor modules, the control panel and other non-video modules:
