Warnings

! WARNING !

Cautions

CAUTION

T o re duce risk of electr ic shock do not remove line voltage service barrier cover on frame equipment containing an AC power supply. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

This device is intended for environmentally controlled use only in appropriate video terminal equipment operating environments.

This product is intended to be a component product of an openGear® frame. Refer to the openGear® frame Owner's Manual for important safety instructions regarding the proper installation and safe operation of the frame as well as its component products.

Heat and power distribution requirements within a frame may dictate specific slot placement of cards. Cards with many heat-producing components should be arranged to avoid areas of excess heat build-up, particularly in frames using only convection cooling. The 9922-2FS has a moderate power dissipation (<18 W). As such, avoiding placing the card adjacent to other cards with similar dissipation values if possible.

If required, make certain Rear I/O Module(s) is installed before installing the 9922-2FS into the frame slot. Damage to card and/or Rear I/O Module can occur if module installation is attempted with card already installed in slot.

If card resists fully engaging in rear I/O mod ule mating connec tor, check for alignment and proper insertion in slot tracks. Damage to card and/or rear I/O module may occur if improper card insertion is attempted.

The 9922-2FS FPGA is designed for a normal-range operating temperature around 85° C core temperature. Operation in severe conditions exceeding this limit for non-sustained usage are within device operating safe parameters, and can be allowed by setting this control to Disable. However, the disable (override) setting should be avoided under normal conditions to ensure maximum card protection.

9922-2FS Functional Description

Figure 1-1 shows a functi ona l block diagram of the 9922- 2FS. The 9922-2FS dual-channel frame sync provides two independent signal paths (

Path 2) of frame sync / audio embedding and de-embedding on a single card.

The two paths share an input and output SDI crosspoint to receive and send two discrete SDI inpu ts and out puts. The 9922 -2FS al so inclu des AES/ analog audio support and CVBS video I/O. In addition to a basic signal presence input failover function, a Quality Check option allows failover to alternate inputs based on user-configurable subjective criteria such as black or frozen frame. Two discrete character burn strings and timecode burn (per path) can be inserted on output video, with each string inserted as static text and/or insert only upon LOS. A moving-box insertion can be enabled to serve as a dynamic raster confidence check even in cases where the input video image is static or lost.

The 9922-2FS also provides timecode/closed-captioning conversion from packet-based timecode formats and CEA608/708 HD formats to HD ATC, SD_ATC, and SD VITC waveform-based timecode.

Path 1 and

9922-2FS Input/Output Formats

The 9922-2FS provides the following inputs and outputs (which can be independently used for Path 1 and/or Path 2:

• Inputs:

• 3G/HD/SD SDI IN A thru SDI IN D – four 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs.

SDI IN A or SDI IN B can be set to failover to A or B in absence of

opposite channel of this pair.

• CVBS IN – CVBS coaxial analog video input.

• AES IN – BNC (AES-3id, 75Ω) ports as AES input (number of

ports dependent on rear I/O module used).

• AN-AUD IN – F our balanced analog audio emb ed inputs.

• Outputs:

• 3G/HD/SD-SDI OUT (1-4) – four 3G/HD/SD-SDI buffered video

outputs. Each output can be independently set as processed output video or selected input video reclocked.

• AES OUT – BNC (AES-3id, 75Ω) ports as AES outputs (number of

ports dependent on rear I/O module used).

• AN-AUD OUT – Four balanced analog audio de-embed outputs.

• CVBS OUT – CVBS coaxial analog video usable with SD video

streams.

Note: Input select also allows internal connection from one processing path output

to the opposite processing path input. This allows “serial” processing connections without requiring external jumpering on the card rear I/O module.

Video Processor Description

Note: Unless otherwise noted, the following functions are independently available

for Path 1 and Path 2 processing paths.

The 9922-2FS video subsystem provides the functions described below.

Input Video Select/Quality Check Functions

Used in common as a routing source for both Path 1/Path 2 is a GUI-based control that allows the card to select from up to four 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs, and a SD CVBS analog video input. This function also allows processed outputs from one path to be routed to the alternate path input. For analog inputs, waveform-based ancillary data is preserved for extraction and usage later in the card processing chain.

The input can be selected using DashBoard manual control, set to failover to an alternate input upon loss of the target input, and can be externally selected via a GPIO interface. Reclocked copies of any SDI input can be outputted by the card when selected as a choice on the output crosspoint.

(Option +QC). Quali t y Check allows criteria such as black/

frozen frame events to propagate an event alert. This alert can be used by the card Presets function to invoke input video routing changes, GPO, and other actions.

Timecode Processor

(See Figure 1-2.) This func ti on provides for extracti on of t imec ode da ta from input video source, and in turn allow individual timecode strings to be embedded and/or burned into the ou tp ut vi deo . The fun cti on can monitor any of the video inputs of the card for supported timecode formats such as ATC_LTC or ATC_VITC for down-conversions to HD, and ATC_VITC or VITC waveform (with selectable odd/even field line number control) for SD SDI or CVBS inputs. Waveform VITC timecode can also be ex tr act ed f ro m a reference input and used as the output t im ec ode value. If the prefer red format is detected, the preferred format is used by the card; if the preferred format is not detected, the card uses other formats (where available) as desired. An internally-generated free-run timecode can be also be embedded on output video if desired.

The function also provi des conv ersio n bet ween var ious t imecode format s and provides independent insertion and line number controls for each SDI timecode output format.

When licensed with option receive, send and tra nsl at e between audio/RS-485 LTC timecode formats and the VBI formats described above.

Frame Sync Function

This function p rovide s for fra me s ync co ntrol usin g e ither one of t wo ext ern al

FRAME REF IN (1,2) reference signals distributed with the card frame, selected

input video, or internal timing as a frame sync reference. This function also allows horizontal and/or vertical offset to be added

between the output video and the frame sync reference. Frame sync can select from either of two card frame reference sources, or

free-run input video s ync. Selectable failover allows alternate reference selection should the initial reference source become unavailable or invalid. In the event of input video loss of signal, the output can be set to disable video, go to black, go to an internal test signal generator pattern, or freeze to the last intact frame (last frame having valid SAV and EAV codes).

An internal test signal generator provides a selection of various standard patterns such as color bars, sweep patterns, and other technical patterns. The test patterns can be a pplie d to t he outp ut vide o upon los s of inp ut o r manuall y inserted at any time.

Wings Insertion

Wings insertion allows a symmetrical L-R wings ins ertion to be integrated into the card program video output. Wings video is accommodated using a separate wings SDI input. The wings user interface displays wings timing relative to the card output video, allowing wings timing offset to be adjusted such that wings can be properly framed. (This function does not provide timing offset control of the wing s video; o ffs et must be provided by a exter nal frame sync card or device controlling the wings video feed.)

Key/Fill Insertion

Option +KEYER provides for three of the card SDI video inputs to be used as respective program video, key, and fill inputs. This function provides chroma keying using the video that is inserted in the area “cleared out ” by the key. The keying user interface displays key and fill timing relative to the card output video, allowing timing offset to be adjusted such that key and fill can be properly framed. (The option and its host card does no t provide t iming of fset c ontrol of the key/fill video; offset must be provided by external frame sync cards or devices controlling the key and fill video feed.) The program video input when using keying ac commodates e ither an SDI or an analog video input; key and fill inputs are SDI only.

KEY VID IN signal. The FILL VID IN signal provides the fill

Alpha threshold keyer modes allow full-color key/fill from cost-effective generic sources such as a st andard PC (with ap propriat e HDMI-to-SDI output conversion) hosting simple .bmp, .jpeg, or .png graphic files. In these modes, a common key/fill SDI input provides both the key and fill input.

EAS T ext Crawl Generation Option +EAS provides for

automated keying Emergency Alert System (EAS) text crawls in the active program video output. The function receives its text stream via a card serial data input. The EAS crawl start can be set to trigger upon receiving the serial data message, or be set to use a GPI to trigger start of the EAS crawl.

Embedded in the received serial data are commands which set the message severity to be shown by the keyed crawl (severity is correlated to user-specified text color and background color for the crawl). User controls allow control of the crawl speed and repeat of the crawl burn-in (if desired). Refer to +TTS Manual Supplement OPT-SW-PHXEAS-MS for detailed information and installation/setup instructions. This supplement is furnished with the option.

Color Corrector

Option +COLOR converts the YCbCr SDI input video to the 4:4:4 RGB color space (where the color c or rection i s appl ied), a nd then b ack to YCbCr SDI o n the output. Controls are avai l abl e to adjust each RGB level independe ntl y fo r both white levels (gain) and black levels (offset). Gamma can also be independently adjusted for each RGB channels. Various controls can be ganged to provide adjustment for all three color channels simultaneously.

Introduction 9922-2FS Functional Description

Character/Image Burn-in Functions

User text and timecode (as selected using the timecode function) can be burned into the output video. Burn-in attributes such as size, position, background, color, and opacity are user-configurable. Two discrete character burn strings can b e insert ed on output video, wit h each str ing inse rted as s tatic text and/or insert only upon LOS. A moving-box insertion can be enabled to serve as a dynamic raster confidence check even in cases where the input video image is static or lost.

Options

Video Output Crosspoint

Used in common as a routing source for both Path 1/Path 2 is a four-output video matrix crosspoint that allows independently applying the card processed video output, reclocked input, or wings/key-fill previews to any of the four card discrete coaxial outputs ( output, a CVBS coaxial output is available as a processed video output.

Audio Processor Description

Note: Path 1 and Path 2 have individual independent digital audio embed and

de-embed banks for each of the processing path’s 16-channels of embedded audio. The card’s 16 channels of AES embed/de-embed can be allocated individually to any or either path’s embed or de-embed nodes. Similarly, four-channel analog audio can be individually allocated across any or either path’s embed or de-embed nodes.

The audio processor operates as an internal audio router. This function chooses from the following inputs:

• 16 channels of embedded audio from the SDI video input (default

1-to-1 routing to SDI output)

• Up to 16 channels (8 pairs) of discrete AES input

• Up to 4 channels of balanced analog audio input

SDI OUT 1 thru SDI OUT 4). For an SD

(See Figure 1-3.) The audio processing subsection is built around a card internal 16-channel audio bus. This 16-channel bus receives inputs from an input routing crosspoint that routes de-embedded, and discrete AES and analog audio inputs, over the 16-channel card bus. Correspondingly, at the output end of the 16-channel bus is an output routing crosspoint that in turn distributes the 16-channel bus signals to embedded, and discrete AES and analog audio outputs.

An Input Audio Status display shows the presence and peak level of each input audio channel received by the card. In addition to SDI embedded audio channel sources, analog and coaxial AES inputs are available as input audio choices. For AES audio inputs, payload is identified (PCM or data such as

Dolby

Digital or E). Each AES input pair has independent sample rate converters to align each input pair with video ti mi ng to acco mmod at e cases where AES audio is not synchronous with input video (SRC automatically bypassed for non-PCM payloads). As such, the audio subsection provides a full crosspoint between all supported audio inputs and output types.

The audio output crosspoint for each path’s embedded output allows embedded channel selection from the respective path’s own channels, or channels from the alternate processing path.

2.0-to-5.1 Upmixer

Option +UM provides a 2.0-to-5.1 upmixer function that receives a normal PCM stereo pair from any internal audio bus channel pair. The stereo pair is upmixed to provide 5.1 channels (Left ( Frequency Effects (

LFE), Left Surround (Ls), and Right Surround (Rs)).

Whenever the upmixer is active, it overwrites the six selected 5.1 output channels with the new 5.1 upmix signals (including replacing the original source stereo

L and R inputs with new L and R signals).

The 2.0-to-5.1 upmixer can be set to upmix in any of three modes: Always upmix, Bypass upmix, or Auto enable/bypass upmixing. The Auto upmixing mode looks at the s ignal le vels on t he selec ted ch annels an d compar es them to a selectab le level threshold. It the n determines whether or not to generate 5.1 upmixing from the ster eo pair as follows:

Associated with eac h GPI user contr ol is a sele ction of o ne of 32 user -d efi ned card presets in which GPI activation invokes a card control preset. Because the GPI closure invokes a user-defined preset, the resulting setup is highly flexible and totally user-defined. Invoking a user preset to effect a change involves card setup communication limited only to the items being changed; the card remains on-line during the setup, and the called preset is rapidly applied.

Chapter 2 Installation and Setup

Overview

This chapter contains the following information:

• Installing the 9922-2FS Into a Frame Slot (p. 2-1)

• Installing a Rear I/O Module (p. 2-3)

• Setting Up 9922-2FS Network Remote Control (p. 2-11)

Installing the 9922-2FS Into a Frame Slot

CAUTION

Heat and power distribution requirements within a frame may dictate specific slot placement of cards. Cards with many heat-producing compon ents should be arranged to avoid areas of excess heat build-up, particularly in frames using only convection cooling. The 9922-2FS has a moderate power dissipation (<18 W). As such, avoiding placing the card adjacent to other cards with similar dissipation values if possible.

Chapter 2

CAUTION

This device contains semiconductor devices which are susceptible to serious damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). ESD damage may not be immediately apparent and can affect the long-term reliability of the device.

Avoid handling circuit boards in high static environments such as carpeted areas, and when wearing synthetic fiber clothing. Always use proper ESD handling precautions and equipment when working on circuit boards and related equipment.

Note: If installing the 9922-2FS in a slot with no rear I/O module, a Rear I/O

Module is required before cabling can be connected. Refer to Installing a

2 Installing the 9922-2FS Into a Frame Slot

Note: Check the packaging in which the 9922-2FS was shipped for any extra items

such as a Rear I/O Module connection label. In some cases, this label is shipped with the card and to be installed on the Rear I/O connector bank corresponding to the slot location of the card.

Install the 9922-2FS into a frame slot as follows:

1. Determine the slot in which the 9922-2FS is to be installed.

2. Open the frame front access panel.

3. While holding the card by the card edges, align the card such that the

plastic ejector tab is on the bottom.

4. Align the card with the top and bottom guides of the slot in which the

card is being installed.

5. Gradually slide the card into the slot. When resistance is noticed, g ently

continue pushing the card until its rear printed circuit edge terminals engage fully into the rear I/O module mating connector.

CAUTION

If card resists fully engaging in rear I/O module mating connector, check for alignment and proper insertion in slot tracks. Damage to card and/or rear I/O module may occur if improper card insertion is attempted.

Verify that the card is fully engaged in rear I/O module mating

connector.

7. Close the frame front access panel.

8. Connect the input and output cables as shown in 9922-2FS Rear I/O

Modules (p. 2-4).

9. Repeat steps 1 through 8 for other 9922-2FS cards.

Note: • The 9922-2FS BNC inputs are internally 75-ohm terminated. It is not neces-

sary to terminate unused BNC inputs or outputs.

• External frame sync reference signals are received by the card over a reference bus on the card frame, and not on any card rear I/O module connectors. The frame has BNC connectors labeled receive the reference signal from an external source such as a house distribution.

Control and Display Descriptions

This secti on describes the user interface controls, indicators, and displays for using the 9922-2FS card. The 9922-2FS functions can be accessed and controlled using any of the user interfaces described here.

The format in which th e 9922-2FS f unctional controls, indicators, and displays appear and are used varies depending on the user interface being used. Regardless of the user interface being used, access to the 9922-2FS functions (and the controls, indicators, and displays related to a particular function) follows a general arrangement of Function Menus under which related controls can be accessed (as described in Function Menu/Parameter Overview below).

Note: When a setting is changed, settings displayed on DashBoard™ (or a Remote

Control Panel) are the settings as effected by the card itself and reported back to the remote control; the value displayed at any time is the actual value as set on the card.

Cobalt® Remote Control Panel User Interfaces

(See Figure 3-3.) Similar to the function menu tabs using DashBoard™, the Remote Control Panels have a Select Submenu key that is used to display a list of function submenus. From this list, a control knob on the Control Panel is used to select a function from th e list of displa yed functio n submenu items.

When the desired function submenu is selected, each parametric control or selection list item associated with the function is displayed. Scalar (numeric) parametric values can then be adjusted as desired using the control knobs, which act like a potentiometer. Items in a list can then be selected using the control knobs which cor respo ndingl y act li ke a r otary switch . (In t his man ner, the setting effected using controls and select ion li sts displayed on the Control Panel are comparable to t he submenu i tems acce ssed and committed u sing the 9922-2FS card edge controls.)

Figure 3-3 shows accessing a function submenu and its parameters (in this example, “Video Proc”) using the Control Panel as compared to using the card edge controls.

Video Proc function (among others) is accessed using the Control Panel Select Submenu key. Video Proc function is selected from the list of functions (submenu items)

When the Video Proc function submenu is selected, its related parameters are now displayed.

Note: Refer to “OGCP-9000 Remote Control Panel User Manual” (PN

9922-2FS Function Menu List and Descriptions

Table 3-2 individually lists and describes each 9922-2FS function menu and its related list selections, controls, and parame ters. Where he lpful, examples showing usage of a function are also provided. Table 3-2 is primarily based upon using DashBoard™ to access each function and its corresponding menus and parameters.

Note: For any DashBoard tabs on card not appearing in this

manual, this indicates the function is an option and covered in a separate Manual Supplement. Please refer to card web page Product Downloads for pdf Manual Supplements covering these options.

On DashBoard™ itself and in Table 3-2, the function menu items are organized using tabs as shown below.

Some functions use sub-tabs to help maintain clarity and organization. In these instances, Table 3-2 shows the ordinate tab along with its sub-tabs. Highlighted sub-tabs indicate that controls described are found by selecting this sub-tab (in this example, the Path 1 sub-tab on the Framesync page).

Note that selection of controls from one processing path to another is selected using this sub-tab which appears on many card function tabs.

The table below provides a quick-reference to the page numbers where each function menu item can be found.

format of received SDI video.

• Input Video So ur c e / Status Selects the input video source to be applied to the card Path 1 and Path 2 program video inputs.

Note: • SDI inputs selected must be used with Rear I/O Module

correspondingly equipped with intended input ports.

• Some choices shown are a function of card options.

• Input select also allows internal connection from one

processing path output to the opposite processing path input. This allows “serial” or cascaded processing connections without requiring external jumpering on the card rear I/O module. Serial jumpering can, in addition to other functions, provide identical program video output streams with a delay offset between the two streams.

• Care should be taken to make certain an output from a video path is not applied as an input for the same path. Also, if framesync Lock to Input else Free Run is selected, the initial “upstream” path must be selected using Lock to Input Path control (for example, if Path 1 cascades to Path 2, this control must be set for Path 1 as lock source).

SDI A thru SDI D and CVBS Status show

raster/format for all card inputs. If signal is not present or is invalid, Unlocked is displayed. (These status indications are also propagated to the Card Info pane.)

Input Format Disabled by User indicates raster size and/or frame rate has been rejected from being passed by card (as described below in Input SDI Raster Size / Frame Rate Filtering).

Note: Status display shows maximum card input complement. Input complement is determined by rear I/O module used.

Input SDI Raster Size / Frame Rate Filtering

The controls shown below allow user filtering to exclude selected raster or rate formats from being received by a card input.

Default settings have all raster sizes and frame rates “checked”, thereby providing no filtering (exclusion.)

In the example below, only 720p and 29.97 are checked, filtering allowed input to only be 720p 29.97 (“720p half-rate”).

Note: Rates shown in selector are frame rates and not field rates.

Audio Detect Events Setup Controls

Note: Currently, Audio Detect is available only for Path 1 embedded audio and AES input audio.

Any combination of embedded and AES input channels can be selected to be screened for silence or presence. In the example here, Audio Detect Event 1 is set to trigger if audio on any of channels Emb Ch 1 thru Ch 6 fall below the selected threshold for an interval exceeding the selected threshold. Status indicators for each channel show silence (S) / presence (P) status based on the configured thresholds.

Up to eight independent audio silence/presence events can be set to be screened (with descending priority of consideration from Event 1 down to Event 8). This status here can be propagated to the Presets > Event Triggers sub-tab controls to issue a GPO, preset engage, or other command when audio silence events are detected.

Presets function to invoke input routing or other changes.

• Audio Failover Threshold set s the dBFS level at which channel content is considered to be silent, and correspondingly also a transition back to an untriggered condition with resumption of audio for the selected embedded channels. If the selected channels maintain levels above the selected Audio Failover Threshold, no triggering is invoked.

• Trigger Holdoff sets the period of time in which selected channel silence must occur before an Audio Silence Event trigger

goes true.

• Release Holdoff control sets the time in which the trigger is revoked upon an event false condition.

Note: • Default threshold and holdoff settings shown here are recommended for typical use.

•“Don’t Care” setting may be labeled as Don’t Care, DC, or DSBL (disabled). All notations mean ignoring the channel from event triggering.

• Selections other than Don’t Care work as an AND function. Where multiple selections are set, a true (trigger) condition is not propagated unless all selected channels experience the configured criteria. (In the example shown above, both channels Emb Ch 1 and Emb Ch 2 need to experience a Silence event for a trigger to be propagated.)

Alpha Threshold keying allows cost-effective luminance keying from low-cost generic file-based graphic sources. With the graphic source applied to both the card Key and Fill inputs, the card Key Alpha and Key Threshold controls can be set to easily optimize the key/fill as shown below.

Key Threshold setting, when reduced, more readily allows the key/fill input to assert itself over more variations of program video luma levels. In the example to the right, progressively reducing the threshold setting allows more of the key/fill to assert iteslf over the program video.

Key Alpha setting, when increased, increases the opacity of the key/fill. In the example to the right, progressively increasing the alpha setting increases the key/fill opacity.

When both settings are optimized, the key/fill appears consistent in opacity and free from edge distortions or graphic bleed lines appearing in the image.

Data-Over-Audio sub-tab provides controls that allow SMPTE 337/338/339 non-PCM data to be embedded and de-embedded on embedded audio pairs, offering a very convenient self-contained transpo rt with in the progr am stream physical media.

Shown below is an example setup where serial data is embedded as SMPTE 337 non-PCM data on a sending embedded pair, and then extracted on a receiving pair and converted back to serial data using two cards/devices with the +ANC option.

The COM Routing tab and appropriate

sub-tab is set to receive serial data, noting bit rate and parity settings to conform to the received serial data. (See COMM Ports Setup Controls (p. 3-58))

The received serial data is then directed to

an embedded audio output channel pair by setting a pair to Embedded Data using the Output Audio Routing/Contr ols tab (in this example, Emb pair 7/8).

The embedded data pair on the receiving end is then

selected using the De-Embed Source select drop-down on the Data-Over-A udio Setup sub-tab (in this example, Emb Pair 4 (channels 7/8) as correspondingly set on the sending card).

On the COM Routing tab, select Audio Data Extractor

to extract and route the received SMPTE 337 data to the desired COM port, noting bit rate, protocol, and parity settings. (See COMM Ports Setup Controls (p. 3-58))

Data

When data is successfully being de-embedded, the status display shows green and indicates the bit rate (bit rate is bit rate configured on sending end; typically SMPTE 337 data transfer is much faster than serial)

Notes:• Embedded channel pair selected must be a standard boundary pair (e.g., 1/2, 3/4 and so on).

• SMPTE 337/338/339 embedded pair carrying non-PCM data here is marked as “Non-PCM Data Unknown”. Any intermediate devices between

the Cobalt sending card/device and the Cobalt receiving card/device will transfer this data intact, as long as these devices can transfer in a bit-accurate manner. Most devices capable of carrying Dolby® streams are capable of this. However, any intermediate devices must have functions such as PCM level controls and SRC disabled.

Note: • COM 1 and COM 2 sub-tabs provide independent controls for COM1 and COM2. Therefore, only the COM 1 controls

are described here.

• Controls provided here allow highly detailed setup of serial communications. Control settings must be carefully

considered and set appropriately to correspond to both sending and receiving systems. Incorrectly set controls may result in loss of ANC serial comm.

data rate (in kbit/sec).

• Insertion Mode Contr ol Where data is being inserted (received), sets the insertion as follows:

• Insert Any Data Received: Insert all received data with no regard for packet size.

• Fixed Length Packet: Sets receive to wait and accumulate

n-number of packet bytes (as set using Insertion Fixed Packet Size control) before inserting data.

• Break-Defined Packet: Card receiver looks for character-defined break from source being received to define breaks.

• Insertion Flow Control Allows communication between card receive and sending source to regulate data receive as follows:

• No Flow Control:Data is received without buffering or checking to see if data is being received faster than it can be inserted.

• XON / XOFF: The card UART Tx will tell the sending source whether it can or cannot accept data at current bit rate.

• Hold Break: Card, if close to not being able to accept new data, tells the sending source to hold, and releases this hold when the card is again able to accept new data.

• No Flow Control: Data is transmitted without buffering or checking to see if data is being transmitted faster than it can be received.

• XON / XOFF: The card UART Rx will acknowledge from the receiving system whether it can or cannot accept data at current bit rate.

• Hold Break: Card, if receiving notification from the receiving system that it is close to not being able to accept new data, tells the card to hold. Card releases this hold when the receiving system removes the break command, indicating destination is now ready again to accept new data.

• Bit Rate/ Parity Gen Control For both Rx and Tx, sets UART for bit rate and parity as follows:

• Bit Rate: Sets Tx/Rx bit rate from 1 of 5 speeds ranging from 9600 to 230400 Baud.

• Parity:Sets card Rx to expect odd or even parity from incoming data, and sets card Tx to generate a parity bit to satisfy selected parity. Where parity is set, incoming data not conforming to parity selection is rejected.
