| General |
| MPEG Streams: | ISO/IEC 13818 and ISO/IEC 11172 compliant. Parses all streams: MPEG-1 Elementary and System streams and MPEG-2 Elementary, Packetized Elementary (PES), Transport, and Program streams. |
| MPEG Video: | Decodes full 4:2:2 profile or MP@ML (4:2:0) up to 50 Mbps. |
| MPEG Audio: | Decodes four stereo channels of MPEG-1 layers 1 and 2, ISO/IEC 11172-3 or MPEG-2 layers 1 and 2, ISO/IEC 13818-3. Also SMPTE 302M-1998 Audio. |
| Digital bitstream input: | Through the PCI-Express bus (for “ex” boards, or PCI bus for legacy models) using bus mastering and burst transfer mode. |
| Digital video output: | Serial Digital Interface (ANSI/SMPTE 259M-1997) with 8 channels of embedded audio (ANSI/SMPTE 272M-1994), BNC connector. |
| Analog video output: | (M) NTSC, (M) NTSC-Japan, (B, D, G, H, I, M, N) PAL. 1V P-P, RS-170-A compliant, BNC connector. DC restored output. Luma and chroma signals are filtered in accordance with the standard requirements of RS-170-A and CCIR 624. In addition, RGB and YPbPr are provided on the SDM260e, SDM290e, and SDM230 decoders. |
| Digital audio output (SDM290, 290e): | Two AES3 digital audio outputs through a DB-15 connector. |
| Digital audio output (SDM280, 280e): | One AES3 digital audio output through a DB-15 connector. |
| Digital audio output (SDM230): | One S/P-DIF (IEC 60958) digital audio output. |
| Analog audio output (except SDM230): | Four balanced analog audio, 600 ohm, level up to 28 dBm. Nominal output level user selectable. For example, standard 0 dBm or 4 dBm nominal linelevel with 20 dB headroom is supported. Balanced analog audio through a DB-15 connector. Also four unbalanced audio outputs through two MPC standard sound card connectors. |
| Analog audio output (SDM230): | Two unbalanced analog audio outputs (8dBu maximum). |
| Genlock (SDM290, 280, 260): | Locks to the H-sync and V-sync, allows variable delay about the H-sync in 9.26 ns increments. Chroma phase adjustable in 1.4 degree increments. Composite video input, 1V P-P, BNC connector. |
| Genlock (SDM290e, 280e, 260e): | Locks to the H-sync, V-sync and chroma burst, allows variable delay about the H-sync in 1 ns increments. Chroma phase adjustable in 0.35 degree (1ns) increments. Composite video input, 1V P-P, BNC connector. |
| On-Screen Display: | 8x2 to 740x480 NTSC or 8x2 to 720x576 PAL bitmap, using true-color or a 4-, 16-, or 256-color palette, 64 levels of blending and 64 levels of shading. |
| Host system requirements: | Pentium-based PC with an available PCI-Express short card slot (PCI bus for legacy models) running Windows 2000 or greater, with a VGA supporting Microsoft® Direct Draw mode |
