Introduction BBG-1002-UDX Functional Description

BBG-1002-UDX Functional Description

Figure 1-1 shows a functional block diagram of the BBG-1002-UDX. The BBG-1002-UDX up/down/cross converter also optionally includes 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 -configur able subjecti ve criteria suc h as black or frozen frame. Two discrete character burn st rings and timecode burn can be inserted on output video, with eac h string inserted as sta tic text and/or insert only upon LOS. A moving-box insertion can be ena bled to serve as a dynamic raster confidence check even in cases where the input vide o i mage i s static or lost. The BBG-1002-UDX uses a built-in web server that allows control/ monitor over computers or smart devices.

The BBG-1002-UDX also provides ARC processing and timecode/ closed-captioning conversion from packet-based timecode formats and CEA608/708 HD formats to HD ATC, SD_ATC, and SD VITC-based (waveform) timecode. Closed captioning from CEA708 to HD formats and line 21 SD closed captioning are available on the processed HD-SD-SDI outputs.

BBG-1002-UDX Input/Output Formats

The BBG-1002-UDX provides the following inputs and outputs:

• Inputs:

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

• Outputs:

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

Introduction BBG-1002-UDX Functional Description

Video Processor Description

The BBG-1002-UDX features a up/down/cross-convert scaler, frame sync, and user-adjustable aspect ratio control and zoom control. The BBG-1002-UDX video subsystem also provides the functions described below.

Input Video Select/Quality Check Functions

A GUI-based control allows each of the device video inputs to be independently set a s 3G/HD/S D-SDI or CVBS SD a nalog video. Either mode preserves waveform and/or packet-based ancillary data for extraction and usage later in the processing chain.

The input can be selected using user manual control, set to failover to an alternate input up on los s of t he target input, and can be externall y sel ected via a GPIO interface. Reclocked copies of either SDI input can be outputted by the device when selected as a choice on the output crosspoint.

(Option +QC). Quality Check allows subjective crite ri a such

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

Auto-Changeover Function

(See Figure 1-2.) This function allows the logic assert of input select and routing to the providing latching relays at both the input and output nodes to provide input failover to select an alternate input, and also provides output failover which can passively relay-route the currently selected input directly to the output if the unit los es power.

RLY BYP B SDI output retains selected routing regardless of whether a

The selection was manually in voke d or by a unit -det ected f ailov er (suc h as loss of power). For example, prior to a power loss event if a changeover from

SDI IN A to SDI IN B was active at the time, this selection is retained by the

latching relays. In a power-loss event, output

RLY BYP B, and the unit automatically removed from the signal path

until normal operation again commences. In normal operation, the output relay always maintains routing from the processed output to output

RLY BYP B.

Note: • The unit also provides active (DA-driven) outputs RCK/PROC 1 thru

RCK/PROC 4. These outputs are independent of the relay failover function

and will lose signal in the event of a power loss.

• The above failover uses basic signal presence as failover criteria and is limited to inputs A and B. Failover using active assessments (Quality Check) can be set to provide failovers using frozen/black frame and other criteria. See Video Quality Events Detect Function (p. 1-13) and Closed Captioning Events Detect Function (p. 1-13) for more information.

Timecode Processor

(See Figure 1-3.) This func ti on provides for extraction of timecode data 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 device 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 extracted from a reference input and used as the output timecode value. If th e pr eferred format is detected, the preferred format is used; if the preferred format is not detected, the device uses other formats (where available) as desired. An internally-generat ed 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.

Frame Sync Function

This function provides for fr ame sync control using a looping reference input that can use black bur st or tri-leve l sync signals distribute d within the pla nt, or use the input video 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 device 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 signa l generato r provid es a selecti on of nine stan dard patter ns such as color bars, sweep patterns, and other technical patterns. The test patterns can be applied to the output video upon loss of input or manually inserted at any time.

Scaler Function

The scaler function provides up/down/cross-conversion to 3G/HD/SD from multiple SD and 3G/HD video formats and multiple frame rates, and cross-conversion between interlaced and progressive formats, with auto-format detect/down-conversion of SMPTE 424M/292M/259M formats.

The scaler function also provides aspect ratio conversion that provides a choice from several standard aspect ratios. User-defined settings allow custom user-defined H and V aspect ratio control. Ret ic ul e insertion provides safe action area marking as well as other reticule functions and patterns.

The scaler provides s pec ial modes that allow de-interlacing to be bypassed in certain cases to reduce processing latency. Also provided are selections to optimize 3:2 pulldown conv ers ion where timecode or other timing references can be relied upon to indicate frame transitions.

Wings Insertion

Wings insertion allows a symmetrical L-R wings ins ertion to be integrated into the program video output. Wings video is accommodated using a separate wings SDI input. The wings user interface displays wings timing relative to the 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 t h e wings vi deo; offset must be provided by a ext er n al f rame sync card or device controlling the wings video feed.)

The wings L/R insertion width can be manually configured, or can be set to automatically track with aspect ratio as set by the device.

Key/Fill Insertion

Option +KEYER provides for three of the device SDI video inputs to be used as respective program video, key, and fill inputs. Providing back-end (post scaler) keying, this function provides chroma keying using the signal. The “cleared o ut” by the key. The keying user interface displays key and fill timing relative to the out put vid eo, al lo wing timing offset to be adj ust ed such that key and fill can be properly framed. (The option and its host device does not provide timing of fset co ntrol of th e key/fil l video; of fset must be pro vided by external frame sync cards or devices controlling the key and fill video feed.) The program video input when using keying accommodates either an SDI or an analog video input; key and fill inputs are SDI only.

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.

Introduction BBG-1002-UDX Functional Description

Closed Captioning Processor

This function provides support for closed captioning setup. The function allows the selection of the ancillary data line number where the ancillary closed caption data is outputted when the output is HD. When receiving HD-SDI, both CEA 608 and CEA 708 are supported, with CEA 608 and CEA 708 (containing CEA 608 packets) converted to line 21 closed captioning on outputs down-converted to SD.

Color Corrector

Option +COLOR converts the YCbCr SDI input video to the 4:4:4 RGB color space (where the col or cor rect ion is a pplie d), and t hen back to YCbCr SDI on the output. Controls are ava il abl e to adju st each RGB level independently for 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.

Ancillary Data Processor

This function provides full VANC/HANC ancillary data de-embedding and embedding for 3G/HD/SD-SDI streams. Direct access to DID and SDID locations allows extraction or insertion of user data such as camera PTZ, SCTE 104, closed-captioning read/insert, GPI/GPO via ANC, or other specialized user payloads. Data can be extracted and inserted within the device, bypassing the scaler (Bridge mode), or inserted and/or extracted to and from the device via serial or IP interfaces connecting to external devices/ systems. A rear panel connector bank with a dedicate d IP port can be used with the ancillary data processor function for data insertion or extraction via IP.

AFD ARC Processor

(See Figure 1-4.) Option +AFD al lows extracted Aspect Ratio Control (ARC) data from the input video (in either AFD, WSS, or VI formats) and provides:

• Format translation between AFD, WSS, and VI ARC formats.

• H/V cross-conversion matrix in which a received code directs a same

or other user-s electable alternate H/V ratio on the output for any of several H/V ratios.

• Directs scaler automatic active ARC in response to received and/or

converted ARC code (Scaler Follows ARC).

The input video is checked for ARC formats and can be set to provide a trigger upon when a selected ARC format is received, the code associated with the received format can be app lied to the o utput as a translated format (for, example, from WSS to AFD). Received H/V codes can also be applie d through an H/V convers ion mat rix t hat al lo ws alte rnate H/V rat ios f or a gi ven received input code. The ARC code format priority works in that AFD has highest priority, with WSS or VI selectable as the next priority. In conjunction with a user-accessible cross-matrix table, the received code then in turn directs any of severa l use r -sel ectab le H/V set ting s to be ins erted on th e o utput video as AFD, WSS, and/or VI codes. AFD, WSS and/or VI can be rejected for input consideration. The selected output H/V ratio can be set to automatically apply this aspect ratio to the program video.

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)

• The processor function provides group enable/disable and

de-embedding of the 16-channel embedded audio SDI input.

BBG-1002-AV-EMDE.

(See Figure 1-5.) The audio processing subsection is built around a device internal 16-channel 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 device 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 device. For digital audio inputs, payload is identified (PCM or data such as Dolby for discrete AES inputs. Discr ete AES inputs can have sample rate conversi on applied to align these inputs with t he output tim i ng (received sample ra tes from 32 kHz to 96 kHz are supported). An audio silence check can detect, on any channel, audio that persists below a specified loudness exceeding a configurable time span. This check can propagate an alert to the device Presets function to invoke audio routing and other changes.

As such, the audio subsecti on provides a full crosspoint bet ween all support ed audio inputs and output formats.

2.0-to-5.1 Upmixer. (Option +UM) The 2.0-to-5.1 upmixer function receives a normal PCM stereo pair from any internal audio bus channel pair. The stereo pair is upmixed to provide 5.1 channels (Left ( Right ( Right Surround (

R), Center (C), Low Frequency Effects (LFE), Left Surround (Ls), and

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:

• If the upmixer detects signal level below a selected threshold on all

three of the selected channels designated as

C, Ls, and Rs, this

indicates to the upmixer that these channels are not carrying 5.1. In this case, the upmixer produces new 5.1 content generated by the upmixer.

• If the upmixer detects signal level above a selected threshold on any

of the three selected channels designated as

C, Ls, and Rs, this

indicates to the upmixer that the c hannel(s) are already carrying viable 5.1 content. In this case, the upmixer is bypassed and the channels fed to the upmixer pass unaffected to the upmixer outputs.

L),

The examples in Figure 1-7 show t he automatic enable/di sable upmixing function applied to example selected channels

Bus Ch 1 thru Bus Ch 6. As

shown and described, the processing is contingent upon the signal levels of the channe ls selected to carry the new 5.1 upmix relative to the selected threshold (in this example, -60 dBFS).

Two independent ground-closure sensing GPI inputs (GPI 1 and GPI 2; each sharing common ground connection as chassis potential) are available. Associated with eac h GPI user contr ol is a sele ction of o ne of 32 user -d efi ned presets in which GPI activation invokes a 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 setup communication limited only to the items being changed; the device remains on-line during the setup, and the called preset is rapidly applied.

GPI triggering can be user selected to consider the activity on discrete GPI ports, or combinations of logic states considering both GPI inputs, as well as be set for le vel or edge t riggering. This flexibility allows multistage, progressive actions to be invoked if desired. Indication is provided showing whenever a GPI input has been invoked.

Scaler

• Scaler Enable Control Enables or disables Scaler function. Note: When scaler is disabled, all ancillary data is passed from input to

output intact. If the scaler is enabled, ancillary data such as timecode and closed captioning must be set for re-insertion as desired. See Timecode (p. 3-41) and Closed Captioning (p. 3-46) for more information about insertion into scaled output video.

• De-Interlacer Control Allows de-interlacer to be bypassed to reduce processing latency.

• Bypassed: De-interlacer is bypassed regardless of conve rsion being performed. When converting from interlaced to progressive, this results in reduced latency at the expense of fast-motion smoothness.

• Auto-Enable: Applies de-interlacing for interlaced-to-interlaced conversions where useful (such as 1080i to 525i conversions). This is the default normal mode which also disables de-interlacing where not required (e.g., conversions within progressive formats).

• Always Enabled For Interlaced Input: This setting enables de-interlacing always when an interlaced input format is being converted by the scaler.

Note: De-interlacer is always bypassed when converting from a

progressive format to a progressive format.

• Input/Output Video Status Displays signal format/status sent to scaler and output format/status. If invalid or no signal is present, none is displayed.

• Output Format Selector Provides conversions to formats as shown.

With framesync enabled, provides the following controls for offsetting the output video from the reference:

• Vertical (Lines) – sets vertical delay (in number of lines of output video) between the output video and the frame sync reference.

(Positive values provide delay; negative values provide advance) (Range is -1124 thru 1124 lines; null = 0 lines.)

• Horizontal (µs) – sets horizontal delay (in µs of output vid eo ) between the output video and the frame sync reference. (Positive values provide delay; negative values provide advance)

(Range is -64 thru 64 µsec; null = 0.000 µsec.)

Note: Offset advance is accomplished by hold-off of the

reference-directed release of the frame, thereby effectively advancing the program video relative to the reference.

AFD is set to AFD, with other choices set to Off. The settings here

allow ARC to trigger only on an AFD-coded input.

In this example, it is desired to use the H/V re-aspecting inherent in the received

video ARC, perform the re-aspecting with no modification, and output an AFD code representing the re-aspecting performed.

As such, Force Input Mapping is set to Follow Trigger, thereby bypassing the Output ARC Cross-Matrix Map table and directly perform the re-aspecting defined by the received code (in this example, Letterbox 16x9). Also in this example, the scaler is directed to apply the output AFD re-aspecting by setting Scaler Follow AFD to Enabled.

In this example, since only AFD is to be outputted, AFD Output

is set to Enabled, with WSS and VI choices set to Disabled. AFD Status shows AFD code now being outputted.

The insertion line number (using its default value here), can be set using the AFD Output Line controls (for the progressive format in this example, the Field 1 control serves as the line number control).

AFD Map sub-tab allows bidirectionally re-aspecting from 4x3 frames to companion 16x9 frames, and allows customizing aspect ratio settings for the AFD codes (and the corresponding WSS and VI translation equivalents) supported by the device.

•

Separate control groups for 4x3 and 16x9 coded input frames allow custom ARC (as well as pan/tilt) for various coded frames.

• By default, each row is set for its companion re-aspected output, along with output AFD code for the companion output (i.e., 4x3 frames get re-aspected to a companion 16x9 re-aspecting and AFD code, and similarly 16x9 frames get re-aspected to a companion 4x3 re-aspecting and AFD code).

In this example, default settings provide the scaling and tilt factors to convert a 16x9-coded 0010 frame to its companion 4x3 0010 Letterbox 16x9 Top frame.

Scaling and Pan/Tilt factors effect the re-as pecting and position offset here that result in a 4x3 0010 Letterbox 16x9 Top image when these defaults are applied.

• When the scaler is set to Scaler follow AFD any V, H, pan, or tilt custom changes made here are directly applied to the output video.

• To simply output an AFD code (without any re-aspecting to be done by the device) set the No Input row to the desired code to be outputted (in this example, “16x9 Letterbox 16x9 Center; 0100”).

The AFD coding representing the applied re-aspecti ng is appl ied to the output video.

the device failover timecode selection may substitute another format choice for the format not being received.

• Incoming ATC Packet Removal Control Enables or disables removal of existing input video ATC timecode packets from the output. This allows removal of undesired existing timecodes from the output, resulting in a “clean slate” where only desired timecodes are then re-inserted into the output. (For example, if both SDI ATC_VITC and ATC_LTC are present on the input video, and only ATC_LTC is desired, using the Removal control will remove both timecodes from the output. The AT C_LTC timecode by itself can then be re-inserted on the output using the other controls discussed here.)

Note: • W hen the Scaler is enabled, ATC packets are automatically

removed. The Timecode function must be used to re-insert the timecode data into the output video.

• Set this control to Enabled if Free-Run timecode is to be used. If incoming packets are not removed, output embedded SMPTE timecode may alternate between free-run and embedded SMPTE timecode values.

Alpha Threshold keying allows cost-effective luminance keying from low-cost generic file-based graphic sources. With the graphic source applied to both the Key and Fill inputs, the Key Alpha and Key Threshold controls can be set to easily optimize t he key/f ill 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.

Alpha Threshold mode setting is suited for graphic sources using black backgrounds.

Reverse Alpha Threshold mode setting is suited for graphic sources using

white backgrounds.

When using either alpha threshold modes, set the Key Source and Fill Source to use the same source (in this example, SDI input D).

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.

protocol for each port.

• COM Mode (Pro tocol)

• COM Port Tx Routing Function

• Rx/Tx Status Display Shows either no data received/sent, or where transfer is present shows

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

Selects serial comm protocol for the respective port as RS-232 or

RS-485. Note: Protocol choices should consider the payload to be carried.

Typically, LTC is sent or received using only RS-485 serial protocol.

Selects port function for the respective port as LTC Encoder input or

output, or ANC Data Extractor / Audio (SMPTE 337) non-PCM input or output.

data rate (in kbit/sec).

• 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.

• Insertion Sync Byte Control Allows use of a sync byte from card receiver back to sending source to

• Extraction Mode Control Where data is being extracted from input video, sets the data to be sent

• Extraction Flow Control Allows communication between card transmit and receiving destinations

synchronize communication between card receive and sending source as follows:

• Disabled: No special synchronization.

• Field Number at SOF: The card sends a single byte telling sending

source when start of field 1 or field 2 is occurring.

• Ack on Insertion: Card sends a single byte back to sending source when data has been inserted.

as follows:

• Payload Only: Sends payload only (for example, for closed captioning this would be only the ASCII character string representing the CC content).

• Full Anc Data Packet: Sends the entire packet, including payload, DID, SDID, and any handling or marking characters.

to regulate data receive as follows:

• 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.
