Serial Digital Interface (SDI) Card Installation
The optional SDI card may be installed in the decoder if it does not already have
an input for a serial digital interface signal. We recommend that you send the
unit in to Extron for service and updates.
Changes to electronic components must be performed by authorized
service personnel only.
Follow these steps to install an SDI card in the QSD 204.
1. Disconnect the AC power cord from the QSD 204 to remove power from the
unit.
To prevent electric shock, always unplug the QSD 204 decoder from the
AC power source before opening the enclosure.
2. Remove the decoder from the rack or furniture.
3. Remove the cover of the decoder (the top half of the enclosure) by removing
the screws, then lifting the cover straight up. See the top cover removal
diagram in the “Firmware Upgrade Installation” section.
Do not touch any switches or other electronic components inside the
decoder. Doing so could damage the decoder. Electrostatic discharge
(ESD) can damage IC chips even though you cannot feel it. You must be
electrically grounded before proceeding with any electronic component
replacement. A grounding wrist strap is recommended.
4. Locate the SDI card standoff located near the middle rear portion of the
main circuit board (looking from above with the front panel nearest to you).
5. Remove the adhesive SDI cover from the rear SDI connector opening of the
decoder and position the SDI card at an angle with the SDI connector
protruding from the rear SDI connector opening.
