SMS 8103A Component D-to-A Converter
For high quality monitoring applications and to interface
with CAV equipment, we offer the SMS 8103A serial component digital
to CAV converter. This unit can deliver any of the popular CAV
formats in use from a user-selectable 8 or 10 bit serial component
digital input. To assure proper system timing the SMS 8103A can
adjust the output relative to an input reference signal via front
panel controls. The new "A" version will now pass any vertical
interval embedded data.

Features
- Supports 4 popular CAV formats
- New A versions optionally pass vertical interval data
- Ten bit quantization for maximum signal integrity
- Auto line count detection (525 or 625)
