Chapter 1 – Introduction

Overview

Video Processing

AJA’s OG-ROI family of scalers/scan converters provide exceptionally high quality
conversion of computer and video signals in an openGear form factor. The OG­ROI models offer Region of Interest (ROI) support allowing DVI, HDMI and SDI
input signals to be scaled and converted to an SDI output. The OG-ROI-SDI model
also provides a scaled HDMI output. With incredible image scaling, extensive
aspect ratio and frame rate conversion, OG-ROI fulfills the need to scale computer
and video to a desired resolution, all in realtime.

The three models of OG-ROI openGear cards available are:

• OG-ROI-DVI

• OG-ROI-HDMI

• OG-ROI-SDI

Designed for use in high-density openGear 2RU frames, including AJA’s OG-X­FR 2RU frame, the OG-ROI Series is capable of communicating with Ross Video’s
DashBoard Control System. DashBoard runs on Windows®, macOS®, and Linux®,
providing convenient, industry-standard configuration, monitoring and control of
the openGear architecture over a PC or local network.

In default mode, the OG-ROI-DVI and OG-ROI-HDMI models automatically detect
the input signal format and convert it to the SDI (and HDMI, for the OG-ROI-SDI)
output video format. Their respective DVI and HDMI outputs pass the signal
through without any processing, maintaining the incoming signal aspect ratio.

For the OG-ROI-SDI, the incoming signal is passed to the SDI Loop Through
Output, without any processing, maintaining the incoming signal aspect ratio.
The processed signal goes to both the HDMI output and the SDI output.

OG-ROI Series openGear card v1.8 5 www.aja.com

In Auto mode, if there is a difference in aspect ratio relative to the input and
output format, the unused area is filled with a user-configurable matte color. For
example, a 720p input will matte with a 625i output and vice versa, due to their
different aspect ratios of 16:9 and 4:3, respectively. However, a 720p input will not
matte with a 1080p output as they both have a 16:9 aspect ratio.

Audio Handling

OG-ROI-DVI, OG-ROI-HDMI

Analog audio from the host can be input via 3-pin analog audio connectors
and mapped to the embedded SDI output stream. Alternatively, when an HDMI
input signal is present, the HDMI input's embedded audio can be mapped to the
embedded SDI output stream.

The OG-ROI-DVI model can receive both DVI and HDMI protocol input, and
accepts audio if it is embedded in an HDMI signal. However, the DVI protocol does
not carry audio, so if the OG-ROI-DVI is receiving DVI input, only analog audio can
be embedded to the output.

OG-ROI-SDI

Digital audio embedded in the SDI input is carried through to both the SDI output
and the HDMI output. Analog audio can be output through the 3-pin analog
audio connectors (2 channels). Digital audio can be embedded through the SDI
output as 24-bit, 8 channel, and/or through the HDMI output as 24-bit, 2 channel
or 8 channel.

HDCP Protection

The OG-ROI honors HDCP, and will not allow an HDCP link. If the input content is
HDCP protected, no source video will be displayed on the OG-ROI’s DVI pass­through connector, or on the OG-ROI’s SDI output.

• Audio output via 3-pin analog audio connector (OG-ROI-SDI)

• Embedded SDI audio out (up to 8 channels)

• 5-year warranty

Pixel rates are limited to a 165 MHz maximum rate.

Pixel Clock Rate

The source video pixel clock is a combination of the video resolution and its
vertical rate. Some sources can generate pixel clock rates that exceed the
capabilities of the OG-ROI-DVI and OG-ROI-HDMI converters. It may not be
obvious what the resulting pixel clock will be for a particular resolution or vertical
rate.

NOTE: This topic does not apply to the OG-ROI-SDI since it accepts only SMPTE SDI rates

on the input.

For example, when a downstream sink device is connected to the OG-ROI output
monitor connector, the source and sink could potentially negotiate a display
format (using EDID) that is beyond the capability of OG-ROI’s video processing
circuitry.

When this error occurs, an “Exceeds max rate” yellow alarm message will be
displayed on the DashBoard user interface, and the OG-ROI will generate a full
screen red matte on the SDI output. A downstream DVI/HDMI/SDI monitor will
still display the incoming video.

Possible solutions include:

• Disconnect the downstream device (for example, a computer monitor) from
the OG-ROI. Once disconnected, OG-ROI will negotiate directly with the
source to generate a video resolution that is within the OG-ROI’s processing
capability.

• Reconfigure the source signal to a resolution that OG-ROI supports.

OG-ROI Processing Capabilities

The OG-ROI models utilize a powerful scaling processor, however, some specific
combinations of input and output OG-ROI selections, de-interlacing, and 180°
rotations or flips can exceed the processing capacity of the OG-ROI cards.

OG-ROI Series openGear card v1.8 7 www.aja.com

In these cases, a “Processing Limit Exceeded” red error message is displayed on
the DashBoard user interface, and the OG-ROI will automatically turn off certain
features in order to process the picture. These features that have been turned off
will be reported and will be in red. For an example, see "Processing Limit Exceeded"

on page 29.

Possible solutions include:

• Reduce the size of the Region of Interest selections; input OG-ROI, output OG­ROI, or a combination of both.

• Turn off 180 degree rotation and/or H and V flips, or frame delay.

• Use a progressive rather than interlace input signal.

A third example (Figure 15) illustrates use of the OG-ROI Rotation feature to
send selected areas of a SDI signal to portrait mounted on-set monitors at full
resolution. Each monitor uses one OG-ROI converter, accomplishing the task at a
much lower cost than dedicating DVE channels for rotation and resizing.

Chapter 2 – Operation

IM PORTA NT: Once you have configured the OG-ROI card using DashBoard, and as long

as the input format remains the same, the settings will persist when the frame
is disconnected from a controlling computer (in stand-alone mode). If you
anticipate that the input format may change, and if the current configuration
settings wouldn't make sense for a different input format, you can enable Auto
Bypass Mode (Auto Bypass Mode checkbox is selected from the Input tab). When
enabled, Auto Bypass Mode forces the OG-ROI card to use Auto in all applicable
settings when the input format changes. When the original input format is
re-connected, the OG-ROI will exit Auto Bypass Mode and restore all previously
configured settings for that format.

Using the DashBoard Control System

The DashBoard Control System, created by Ross Video, is available as a free
download from the openGear DashBoard Software Download webpage:

https://www.opengear.tv/frame-and-control/control-system/download/

Ross Video offers comprehensive documentation that covers the extensive
capabilities of the DashBoard Control System:

https://www.rossvideo.com/support/product-documentation/dashboard/

This manual addresses only those essential aspects of the DashBoard Control
System needed to control the OG-ROI Series cards.

Requirements

The DashBoard Control System requires the following components:

• openGear frame with a Frame Controller card

• Ethernet connection betweeen the controlling computer and the openGear
frame

NOTE: The openGear frame ships from AJA with the MFC-8322-S Frame Controller card

for controlling the new AJA DashBoard cards. The openGear frame also supports
the MFC-0G3-N Advanced Networking Frame Controller card, which can be used
to control compatible OG cards.

IM PORTA NT: DashBoard version 8.5.1 or later is required to support the OG-ROI cards.

DashBoard automatically discovers openGear and DashBoard Connect devices,
such as openGear frames and cards that are present and accessible on your
network.

Control Interface Basic Components

The basic components of the DashBoard Control System user interface consist of
the basic tree view of frames and cards, the card information and status panel,
and the parameter controls panel. These elements are shown below in Figure 18

on page 21

The basic tree view of frames and cards shows the frames and cards that are
discoverable by DashBoard on your network.

The card information and status panel, shown in the middle panel, display the
basic status of the card currently selected in DashBoard.

OG-ROI Series openGear card v1.8 20 www.aja.com

The parameter controls panel shows the tabs and parameters that the selected
card has available for configuration and control.

Input Screen

Proxy Screen

Click on the Input tab to view and make changes to the converter’s input region­of-interest settings.

An input signal is required before the Input menu configuration controls are
available. When no input signal is present, the OG-ROI unit grays out the Input
menu controls.

The Proxy Screen shows the current region of interest setting in green with the
selection pixel size at the bottom and the input pixel size at the top. Various
controls are also available on the left.

NOTE: The adjustments made on the green proxy screens are live and can be viewed

on the SDI output.

NOTE: Portions of this screen are grayed out if no input signal is present.

ROI Selection

Using this pulldown menu you can choose a selection mode:

Auto - Selects the entire signal detected at the input to the ROI (default setting).

Scales the input region-of-interest as large as possible to fit into the SDI
output region while maintaining the incoming aspect ratio. Matte may result if
the input’s aspect ratio does not match the SDI out aspect ratio.

OG-ROI Series openGear card v1.8 22 www.aja.com

NOTE: Auto selections in the Input screen and the Output screen are linked. Selecting

Auto from one screen will also select Auto in the other screen.

Variable - Allows user-adjustable selection of all or a portion of the input signal.

When you select Variable as the selection type, you can choose the region-of­interest selection in three ways with no constraints:

• Use the X,Y coordinates and W,H (width, height) size fields. Within these

fields, you can enter values (if they are valid) or use your keyboard arrow
keys to increment one pixel/line at a time for fine adjustment.

• If configuring a multiple monitor matrix, you can use the Monitor Matrix

screen to select the ROI and, when applied, will fill the X, Y, W, and H fields
with the correct values. See "Monitor Matrix Screen" on page 32.

• Drag the edges of the image representation (green proxy screen) at the

right of the selection pane. See "Click and Drag Options" on page 24.

Fixed Aspect - Opens a ROI Fixed Aspect drop-down menu allowing fixed

aspect input region-of-interest selection. In this mode, the size of the selected
region-of-interest can change but the aspect ratio is held constant:

• 4:3 (SD aspect ratio)

• 16:9 (HD aspect ratio)

• 3:4 (useful for presentation on vertically oriented monitors)

• 9:16 (useful for presentation on vertically oriented monitors)

NOTE: Pixel aspect ratio (PAR) is accounted for in fixed aspect mode. The storage aspect

ratio will change based on the input's PAR to achieve a display aspect ratio
equivalent to your configured settings.

Fixed Size - Opens a ROI Fixed Size drop-down menu allowing fixed size input

region-of-interest selection. In this mode, the region-of-interest selection can
change position on the input screen but the size cannot be changed. These
settings allow you to easily select standard video sizes for region-of-interest.

• DV

• NTSC

• PAL

• 720HD

• 1080HD

SDI Out - Forces the region-of-interest to have the same aspect ratio as the

current SDI Out Format setting.

RGB Range Menu (not applicable to OG-ROI-SDI)

The RGB Range pulldown menu allows you to select either Full range (0-1023) or
SMPTE range (typically 64-940) for RGB color input.

Full Screen Button

Click the Full Screen button to set the region-of-interest to the full input raster
size.

Center Button

If you choose anything other than a full-sized image (Auto) in the ROI Select
menu, you will have complete control of where the region of interest selection
is placed. To quickly and precisely center the region-of-interest, click the Center
button.

OG-ROI Series openGear card v1.8 23 www.aja.com

Auto Bypass Mode

Once you have configured the OG-ROI card using DashBoard, and as long as
the input format remains the same, the settings will persist when the frame is
disconnected from a controlling computer (in stand-alone mode).

If you anticipate that the input format may change, and if the current
configuration settings wouldn't make sense for a different input format, you can
enable Auto Bypass Mode (Auto Bypass Mode checkbox is selected from the
Input tab). When enabled, Auto Bypass Mode forces the OG-ROI card to use Auto
in all applicable settings when the input format changes.

When the original input format is re-connected, the OG-ROI will exit Auto Bypass
Mode and restore all previously configured settings for that format.

Click and Drag Options

When using the drag method for region-of-interest placement or resizing, you
can use the Increased Drag Precision functionality for precise adjustments.

Increased Drag Precision

For more control, select the Increased Drag Precision checkbox. While dragging
the image, you will notice that the selection changes in a more gradual pixel-by­pixel manner regardless of your drag speed.

Arrow Keys

You can use the keyboard arrows to increment size and placement of a variable
region-of-interest selection one pixel at a time in X, Y, H, W fields. (The up/down
arrow keys can also be used to step through some menu selections.)

OG-ROI Series openGear card v1.8 24 www.aja.com

Output Screen

Click on the Output Tab to adjust the following parameters.

NOTE: Portions of this screen are grayed out if no input signal is present.

NOTE: Some sources can generate pixel clock rates that exceed the capabilities of

the ROI. If the incoming video’s pixel clock rate is too high, the ROI converter
will generate a full screen red matte on the SDI output to indicate this error
condition. DashBoard will also display an “Exceeds max rate” error message.
A downstream HDMI/DVI/SDI monitor will still display the incoming video. See

"Pixel Clock Rate" on page 7 and "OG-ROI Processing Capabilities" on page
7 for potential solutions.

ROI Out Scaling

Use the ROI Out Scaling pulldown menu to select one of the following:

Auto - Automatically scales region-of-interest to maximum size with fixed aspect

ratio defined by input format (default setting).

NOTE: Auto selections in the Output screen and the Input screen are linked. Selecting

Auto from one screen will also select Auto in the other screen.

Fixed Aspect - Matte - Scales region-of-interest to maximum size to fit output

region while maintaining aspect ratio. Matting may occur if aspect ratio of
input format and output format do not match.

Full Screen - Scales region-of-interest to maximum size to fit output geometry.

This may change aspect ratio of the image. No matting will occur.

OG-ROI Series openGear card v1.8 25 www.aja.com

None – Crop/Matte - No scaling occurs to region-of-interest. It is always centered

on the output, and the area displayed is selected using the placement controls
in the Input menu.

Variable - Allows user to arbitrarily change position and scaling of region-of-

interest as it is placed into the output region.

SDI Output Format

The pulldown menu offers a full range of SDI Video Formats for output. For the
complete list, see "Appendix A Specifications" on page 41. The format selection is
reported in the DashBoard graphic depicting the SDI Output.

Matte Background

Click the Matte button to pull up the matte color panel that offers various modes
of background color selection.

Figure 19. Matte Color Selection Panel

Center Button

After a screen region-of-interest has been defined, click the Center button to
quickly center the image.

Raster Edge Filtering Checkbox

You can disable edge filtering with this control. The filtering is applied to the left
and right edge pixels of the raster. This is useful if you are using four OG-ROIs
to drive a 4K monitor matrix. Disabling edge filtering on all four OG-ROIs can
eliminate the vertical line that would occur in that situation. Default setting is On.

Flicker Filtering Checkbox

You can enable flicker filtering with this control. This can be useful where vertical
detail (horizontal lines) may strobe with the refresh rate of the display. Flicker
filtering can help with interlaced outputs, and when a detailed image is scaled
down into a smaller area. Default setting is Off.

ROI Edge Filtering Checkbox

Similar to Raster Edge Filtering above, but the filtering is applied to the left and
right sides of the Region of Interest portion of that OG-ROI's output. Default
setting is On.

NOTE: The following Rotation, Frame Delay, and Flip controls interact with each other.

If the OG-ROI’s video processing circuit is unable to perform the processing, the
actual Off state of each control is reported in red. See "About the Rotation, Flip,

and Frame Delay Controls" on page 27 for more information.

OG-ROI Series openGear card v1.8 26 www.aja.com

Rotation

Opens a drop down menu for selecting of a clockwise rotation setting (see Figure

21 on page 28):

• 0° (no rotation, default setting)

• 90°

• 180°

• 270°

Frame Delay

Turns Frame Delay On or Off. One frame of delay is automatically applied
whenever Rotate or Flip is active. The current frame delay state (On or Off) is
reported.

NOTE: Turning Frame Delay On can be useful if you are using two ROIs

simultaneously, flipping or rotating only one of their outputs. Because a frame
delay is always applied to the flipped or rotated output, turning on the other
ROI’s Frame Delay restores their relative timing.

Horizontal Flip

Flips the output horizontally (left to right, and right to left, see Figure 20).

Vertical Flip

Flips the output vertically (top to bottom and bottom to top, see Figure 20).

About the Rotation, Flip, and Frame Delay Controls

Rotation and Flip image processing requires one frame of video delay. Whenever
a rotation or flip occurs a frame delay is automatically applied, and the Frame
Delay On status is reported, even if the checkbox isn’t selected (see Figure 21).

OG-ROI Series openGear card v1.8 27 www.aja.com

Figure 21. Frame Delay Automatically On with Rotation even if the checkbox isn’t

selected

The Rotation, Flip, and Delay controls all report their current statuses. Some
specific combinations of input and output selections and 180° rotations or
flips involving 1920 x 1080i input video can exceed the processing capacity of
the OG-ROI Series. In these unusual cases, a Processing Limit Exceeded yellow
warning alarm is displayed on the UI, and the actual current settings for Rotation,
Frame Delay, and Flip are reported in red (see Figure 22). Note, however, that
parameters using their default values will not be highlighted in red.

OG-ROI Series openGear card v1.8 28 www.aja.com

Figure 22. Processing Limit Exceeded

Possible workarounds for this error condition include:

• Select an input source format that is not 1920x1080i.

• Reduce the size of the input or output region of interest.

• Deselect 180° rotation if on.

OG-ROI Series openGear card v1.8 29 www.aja.com

Output 2 Screen

Loss of Input

This parameter lets you control ROI output behavior if the input signal is lost.
Selecting Black outputs black video under those circumstances. Selecting Mute
will output no-video content (no signal). This can be used in conjunction with
a downstream signal loss capability that would not have been triggered with a
black signal.

Mute Delay

If Mute is selected from the Loss of Input control above, you can set a time delay
(0-15 seconds) for how long the switch to no signal occurs. The last good frame of
video is displayed during that delay time.

OG-ROI Series openGear card v1.8 30 www.aja.com

• 4:4:4 YCbCr

OG-ROI Series openGear card v1.8 31 www.aja.com

Monitor Matrix Screen

The Monitor Matrix screen offers a calculator that lets you easily define Input
Region of Interest dimensions suitable for a multiple monitor matrix display.
Typically a monitor matrix is a horizontal and vertical stacking of monitors, with
a physical bezel distance separating the edges of the displays from each other.
Dedicating one ROI to feed each monitor, and sending the same input video to all
the ROIs, makes it possible to display that video so it spans across all the monitors.

Monitor Matrix Representation

A representation of the monitor matrix is shown in the Proxy Screen on the lower
right. Clicking selects the area of the monitor at that location in the matrix. When
row and column values are entered, a graphical representation of a matrix will
be displayed. A default monitor position will be shown as yellow. A new monitor
position can be selected by moving the mouse cursor over the desired position
and selecting it. The Input Region of Interest position (X,Y) and size (W,H) values
will then be automatically calculated. When Apply is clicked, the monitor position
rectangle will turn green. When a non-zero Bezel Width is entered, the bezel
border around that area is colored red.

Rows

Select the number of rows in the monitor matrix. Select from 1 to 20.

Columns

Select the number of columns in the monitor matrix. Select from 1 to 20.

OG-ROI Series openGear card v1.8 32 www.aja.com

Bezel Width

Select the bezel width of the display. This width will be used in calculating the
Input Region of Interest.

Note that adjoining displays could have a different bezel width and require a
different value entered on the ROI driving that monitor.

X, Y, W, H

The currently calculated Input Region of Interest position (X,Y) and size (W,H) are
displayed here. These values are grayed out and cannot be adjusted. Once the
values are applied, they can be adjusted on the Input tab.

Apply

Click on the Apply button to transfer the current Input Region of Interest
dimensions to the Input screen.

Genlock Screen

Genlock

The Genlock control offers the following options:

• Auto – use Ref Input if present, then Input signal if valid, then free-run

• HDMI – Lock to the HDMI/DVI Input (if valid video rate)

• Ref In – Lock to the Video Reference input

• Free-run – Lock to internal clock

NOTE: When HDMI is selected, OG-ROI can lock to input formats that have a SMPTE

raster and frame rate and are within 50 ppm of the SDI output format.

NOTE: The actual resultant Genlock status is reported in the Status tab.

OG-ROI Series openGear card v1.8 33 www.aja.com

Card Ref Termination

Whether you turn this control On or Off depends on the configuration of
your equipment, and whether or not the incoming reference signal is already
terminated. The Ext Ref input impedance is 75 ohms.

For proper operation the input Reference signal must be stable and properly
terminated using a 75-ohm terminator on the last piece of downstream
equipment to which the Ref Video is connected.

On - Turn on if you have an unterminated incoming reference signal. This will

provide 75 Ohm signal termination.

Off - Turn off (default) if the incoming reference signal is already terminated.

Reference Source

Select which source you want to use for Reference. Choose from the following:

Free Run - The OG-ROI Series will lock to its internal clock as the reference source.

Card Ext Ref - The OG-ROI Series will use the incoming reference source

connected to the Reference Input BNC on the rear panel of the card.

OG Frame Ref 1 - The OG-ROI Series will use the incoming reference source

connected to the openGear frame’s Reference 1 Input BNC on the rear of the
frame.

OG Frame Ref 2 - The OG-ROI Series will use the incoming reference source

connected to the openGear frame’s Reference 2 Input BNC on the rear of the
frame.

H-Delay and V-Delay

These controls let you adjust H and V delay from the sync input by dragging the
slider or entering values in the windows on the right. Horizontal delay is entered
in pixels, while Vertical delay is entered in lines.

NOTE: H and V delay adjustments are only available when the SDI Out Format is

compatible with the current sync input reference.

Audio Screen (OG-ROI-HDMI/DVI)

OG-ROI Series openGear card v1.8 34 www.aja.com

In default mode, the OG-ROI passes up to eight channels of embedded audio
from the video input to the video output.

NOTE: The OG-ROI-DVI model can receive both DVI and HDMI protocol input, and

accepts audio if it is embedded in an HDMI signal. However, the DVI protocol
does not carry audio, so if the ROI-DVI is receiving DVI input, only analog audio
can be embedded to the output.

Input Select

Use this control to select which input audio to pass to the SDI output.

• HDMI - This selection passes the HDMI incoming audio to the SDI output (up
to 8 channels).

• Analog- This selection passes only the Analog audio input for inclusion into
the SDI audio stream. In this case, you can use the Analog Out Map pulldown
menu to select the specific channel pair you want to carry the signal.

• Analog + HDMI - This selection causes the Analog audio input to replace
one pair of the HDMI audio channels on the SDI output. The analog audio is
inserted on the channels defined by the Analog Out Map pulldown.

• None - No audio is output (mute) on the SDI output.

HDMI Conversion

The Convert Rate button enables OG-ROI Series to convert incoming HDMI audio
between 32 kHz to 96 kHz to 48 kHz (the SDI native audio standard). If you don’t
want to convert, choose Pass Through.

Analog Out Map

This control selects which two SDI embedded audio channels receive the
incoming L R analog audio when Input Select is set to Analog or Analog + HDMI.
