1 ASI-Bridge CAM: HDV to ASI Converter

1.1 Introduction

The ASI-Bridge CAM is an HDV (MPEG2 on IEEE-1394) to ASI (MPEG2 on coaxial) converter.

The ASI-Bridge CAM provides a convenient way of overcoming the operational limitations caused by the four

meter maximum cable length of the IEEE-1394 interface. ASI signals can be carried for over 300 meters on

coaxial cable, and over several kilometers by fiber.

For example, the ASI-Bridge CAM in combination with Miranda’s HD-Bridge Dec+ is the ideal way to connect

an HDV camera to an HD mobile truck. In a ‘News Gathering’ situation, the HDV MPEG2 stream of an HDV

camera passing through an ASI-Bridge CAM is naturally pre-formatted for transmission purposes. This new

approach allows HD news production to be very economical.

In a broadcast environment, it is possible to record satellite HD feeds on D-VHS for later transfer to an

MPEG2 on-air server. ASI is the way to transport the MPEG2 signal without any quality loss, so if the D-VHS

recorder does not provide an ASI output, the ASI-Bridge CAM can do the job..

1.2 Features

•HDV/IEEE-1394 to MPEG2/ASI interface

•DVB-ASI compliant

◊Supports the HDV cameras from Sony, JVC and Canon

•Transforms the VBR stream from Sony HDV cameras into a CBR 27Mbps stream

•Supported Formats:

◊SD 525/625: HD1 @ 19.8Mbps

◊HD 720p: HD1 @ 19.8Mbps

◊HD 1080i: HD2 @ 25Mbps

◊ATSC: 19.4Mbps

◊DVHS, STB, PVR: Any MPEG2/4 CBR Transport Stream between 500Kbps and 85Mbps

•Compact and slick camera-attached design

•Flexible 6V to 17V input power range

•Very low 2 Watts power consumption

2 Installation

2.1 Physical Installation

The ASI-Bridge CAM is designed to fit directly to the base of the camera, between the camera and its tripod

or shoulder mount.

♦Remove the camera from it’s tripod or shoulder mount.

♦Install the ASI-Bridge CAM onto the base of the camera

♦Reinstall the tripod or shoulder mount onto the base of the ASI-Bridge CAM

2.2 Connections

Refer to figure 2.1 and to the descriptions below when connecting the ASI-Bridge CAM.

1 2 3 4

Figure 2.1 Front and side views of the ASI-Bridge CAM

HDV IN (IEEE-1394 iLink or Firewire interface) – Connect an HDV source to one of the two HDV

connectors. There is one 1 on the left side panel (small connector) as well as the one 2 on the

right side panel (large connector). The source must comply with the IEEE-1394 standard.

NOTE: you can only use one of the HDV connectors at a time. Do not connect sources to

both connectors simultaneously

3 ASI OUT (BNC Connector)

4 Power IN – connect an appropriate DC power supply (see technical specifications)

3 Operation

Turn the ASI-Bridge CAM ON using the front-panel power button (see fig. 3.1)

3.1 User Interface

The ASI-Bridge CAM has a very simple user interface, consisting of an ON/OFF pushbutton, and two status

LEDs.

1 2 3

Figure 3.1 ASI-Bridge CAM – Power button and status LEDs

1 Status LED – shows the signal status as follows:

RED No Signal

GREEN MPEG2 Presence Locked

YELLOW MPEG2 Presence, Unlocked

Flashing RED Problem / Error

Flashing GREEN Indicates the default HDV standard (see 3.2 below for details)

2 Power Button – push AUTO OFF / push ON / push OFF

–press and hold for more than 4 seconds to change the default HDV video

standard (see 3.2 below for details)

3 AUTO OFF status – shows the status of the power supply’s AUTO OFF mode, as follows:

GREEN Power Auto Off enabled

The AUTO OFF mode will cause the ASI-Bridge CAM to switch OFF automatically when no HDV input is

detected for 30 seconds, preserving battery power in some operational environments.

•Use the ON mode instead of AUTO OFF if occasional no-signal time intervals are expected and you

want to force the unit to remain ON.

The Status LED will be lit when the ASI-Bridge CAM is in the ON or AUTO-OFF modes.
