BBG-1040-ACO Functional Description

Figure 1-1 shows a functional block diagram of the 9940-ACO. A Quality
Check option allows failover to alternate inputs based on user-configurable
subjective criteria such as black/frozen frame or audio silence. Two discrete
character burn strings 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.

The BBG-1040-ACO uses a built-in web server that allows control/monitor
over computers or smart devices.

BBG-1040-ACO Input/Output Formats

The BBG-1040-ACO provides the following inputs and outputs:

• Inputs:

• 3G/HD/SD SDI IN A / SDI IN B – two 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs

(GUI-selectable or Auto- Changeover selection)

• Outputs:

• A/B PROC OUT –3G/HD/SD-SDI processed output with relay

protect failover of currently active input to this output if device
power is lost.

• RCK/PROC OUT (1-3) – three 3G/HD/SD-SDI buffered video

outputs. Each output can be independently set as processed output
video or selected input video reclocked. (These outputs are via
active circuitry/DA and do not offer loss of power failover
protection.)

Video Processor Description

The BBG-1040-ACO features frame sync, character burner, and moving-box
insertion. The BBG-1040-ACO video subsystem also provides the functions
described below.

Input Video Select/Quality Check Functions

The input can be selected using the user interface manual control, set to
failover to an alternate input upon loss of the target input, and can be
externally select ed via a GPIO interface. Reclo cked copi es of e ither SDI i nput
can be outputted by the device when selected as a choice on the output
crosspoint.

(Option +QC). A validity/quality check function checks each

input for valid video format and type, and displays this information via the
device DashBoard status display. A us er -configur able Quali ty Check fu nction
allows subjective criteria such as black/frozen frame or audio silence events
to propagate an event alert. This alert can be used by the device Presets
function to invoke video routing and other changes.

Auto-Changeover Function

(See Figure 1-2.) This function allows the logic assert of input select and
routing to the
while 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 device loses power.

A/B PROC OUT SDI output retains selected routing regardless of whether

The
a selection was manually invoked or by a unit-detected failover (such 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

A/B PROC OUT, and the device automatically removed from the signal

path until normal operat ion again commenc es. In normal operat ion, the output
relay always maintains routing from the device processed output to output

A/B PROC OUT.

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

RCK/PROC 3. These outputs are independent of the relay failover function and

will lose signal in the event of a power loss.

A/B PROC OUT processed output under normal conditions,

SDI IN B would be directly routed to

of the video inputs of the device for supported timecode formats such as
ATC_LTC or ATC_VITC for HD, and ATC_VITC or VITC waveform (with
selectable odd/even field line number control) for SD SDI inputs. Waveform

Frame Sync Function

This function provid es f or f rame sync control usin g a lo opi ng reference input
that can use black burst or tri-level sync signals distributed with the plant, 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 sync. Selectable failover allows alternate reference
selection should th e init ial r efere nce sour ce become u nava ilabl e or inv alid. I n
the event of input video loss of signal, the output can be set to disable video,
go to black, go to an int er nal te st signal generator pa tt er n, or freeze to the last
intact frame (last frame having valid SAV and EAV codes).

An internal test signal gene rator prov ides a selec tion of nine st andard patt erns
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.

Introduction BBG-1040-ACO Functional Description

Y/C Phase Alignment Processor

This function can correct upstream misalignment of Y and C phase (which is
typically introduced by upstream analog-to-digital converters, especially
where the Y and chroma p aths may experience diffe ring charac teristics). The
function provides a phase offset of C phase from Y phase.

Character/Image Burn-in Functions

Text strings 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.

Video Output Crosspoint

A three-output video matrix crosspoint allows independently applying the
processed video output or reclocked input to any of the three non-relay
outputs

RCK/PROC 1 thru RCK/PROC 3).

Audio Processor Description

The audio processor operates as an internal audio router. An Input Audio
Status display shows the presence and peak level of each input audio channel
received by the device. Fo r digita l audio inputs, pa yload is identif ied (PCM or
data such as Dolby

®

Digital or E). 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 subsection provi des a full cr osspoint betwe en all support ed audio inputs
and output formats.

Audio Down Mix Function

(See Figure 1-4.) The Audio Down Mixer function provides for the selection
of any five embedded c hannel s serv ing as Left (

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.

• Frame Delay Control

Minimum Latency Frames Control

When Framesync is enabled, specifies the smallest amount of latency
delay (frames held in buffer) allowed by the frame sync. The frame sync
will not output a frame unless the specified number of frames are captured
in the buffer. The operational latency of the frame sync is always

between the specified minimum latency and minimum latency plus
one frame (not one field).

Note: Due to device memory limits, the maximum available Minimum

Latency Frames is related to the output video format selected.
When using this control, be sure to check the Report Delay display

to kame certain desired amount of frames are delayed.

Default All setting will “look” at all device settings, and save and invoke all settings when the preset is invoked (loaded).

Selecting a layer (in this example, “Audio Routing”) will set the preset to only “look at” and “touch” audio routing settings and
save these settings under the preset. When the preset is invoked (loaded), only the audio routing layer is “touched”.

alerts when an event has occurred.

Example: Since EAS audio routing can be considered independent of other settings, if normal audio routing was set up with a
particular video settings in effect, and at a later time EAS audio routing is desired to be saved as a preset, selecting Audio
Routing here limits preset-invoked changes to only the audio routing layer, “telling” the preset save/load to not concern itself with
other settings. In this manner, when the EAS preset is invoked any other settings in effect will remain untouched, with only the
audio routing changes invoked.

Setup/Operating Instructions BBG-1040-ACO Function Menu List and Descriptions

Table 3-2 BBG-1040-ACO Function Submenu List — continued

Provides event-based loading allowing a defined preset
to be automatically engaged upon various received
signal status.

Event-based loading is part icularly useful for automa ted
device setup when transitioning from normal processing
to processing supporting an alternate format.

• Event based preset loading is not passive and can result in very significant and unexpected device control and signal
processing changes if not properly used. If event based presets are not to be used, make certain the Event Based
Loading button is set to Disabled.

• Because event based preset loading applies device control changes by invoking presets, loading conditions cannot be
nested within a called preset (event-based loading settings performed here cannot be saved to presets).

Event triggers allow a variety of event screening criteria, and in turn provide an Event Action “go to” in response to the detected
event(s). For each screened criteria, categories can be set as “don’t care” or set to specific criteria to broaden or concentrate on
various areas of concern.

The Event based loading button serves as a master enable/disable for the function.
Go-to Event Actions can be user-defined presets or hard-coded input video selection changes.

In the example here for Event 1, the Video Quality Events tab is set to screen for frozen video. When detected, this status can
be used here (Video Quality set to “Input A Event Error Detected”). Using the Event Action selector, go-to action of “IRD Rcv 122”
can be invoked (which in this example is a user preset that changes BBG-1040 routing to use an alternate IRD).

Conversely, to go back to the original source, an event could be set up with Video Quality here looking for “Input A Event Error
Cleared” and in turn invoke an event action returning routing to the original video source.

In the example here for Event 12, th e Audio Events sub-tab can be set to screen for loss of audio. When detected, this status
can be used here (Audio Silence Event set to “Audio Silence Event 1”). Using the Event Action selector, go-to action of “POTS
Audio Backup” can be invoked (which in this example is a user preset that changes BBG-1040 routing to use an alternate telco
audio feed).

Note: • Scre ened conditions are triggered upon start of event. Any event-based setup must be done in advance of the

BBG1040ACO-OM (V1.1P) BBG-1040-A CO PRO DUCT M ANUAL 3-33

triggering event in order for event to be detected.

• Loss of true conditions does not disengage an event-based t riggering. A new set of t rue conditions m ust be
defined and then occur to transition from one event-based trigger to another.

• Time required to engage an event-based trigger depends upon complexity of the called pres et. (For exam ple,
a preset that invokes a framesync chang e will take longer to en gage than a pres et involving only an audio
routing change.)

• Make certain all definable event conditions that BBG-1040 might be expected to “see” are defined in any of the
Event 1 thru Event 32 rows. This makes certain that the device will always have a defined “go-to” action if a
particular event occurs. For example, if the device is expected to “see” a 720p5994 stream or as an alternate,
a 525i5994 stream, make certain both of these conditions are defined (with your desired go-to pres ets) in any
two of the Event 1 thru Event 32 cond ition definition rows.

• Video Quality column appears only on BBG-1040 with +QC (Quality Check) option.

Table 3-2 BBG-1040-ACO Function Submenu List — continued

Provides audio silence event screening which can be
used in conjunction with the Event Triggers controls
described on the previous page.

Checkbox rows allow up to eight separate and independent Audio Silence Events to be defined. Checking an audio channel sets
the channel to be screened for audio events indicating persistent silence on the channel.
Channels screened are any received channel embedded onto the audio bus channels.

In this example, channels 1 and 2 are set to be screened for audio silence. In this example, if either channel 1 or 2 experience
silence exceeding the configured threshold, Audio Silence Event 1 becomes active. This event can be used on the Event Triggers
user interface page (described on the previous page) to propagate a device settings change (such as alternate-source audio
routing) and/or a user alert.

• ••

•

•

•

Event trigger threshold controls set the level and holdoff thresholds.

• Audio Failover Threshold sets the threshold (in LUFS) at which content below the threshold is
considered as silence.

• Trigger Holdoff sets the time allowed for below-threshold content persistence before a silence event
is triggered.

• Release Holdoff sets the time allowed, when content is noted to be above threshold, that the event
trigger is de-activated.

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

Setup/Operating Instructions Front Panel User Menus

Front Panel User Menus

All of the mode and parametric controls available using the web UI (as
described in BBG-1040-ACO Function Menu List and Descriptions) are
available using the front panel display and arrow navigating buttons. Table
3-3 lists the menu structure and identifiers for these functions, along with
page references for detailed inform ation about the functions and its controls.

The front panel menus offers a true standalone means to configure the
BBG-1040 with no connection to a network required, and is useful where
changes need to be done immedia tely (or in emer gency sit uations) with out the
benefit of network acces s. However, the web GUI provides greatly simplifi ed
user interfaces as compared to using this menu and the arrow controls. For
this reason, it is strongly recommended that the web GUI Remote Control be
used for all applications other than the most basic cases.

Note: • When a setting is changed using either the menu described here or the web

GUI remote control, settings displayed are the settings as effected by the
device itself and reported back to the remote control; the value displayed at
any time is the actual value as set on the device.

• Items other than status displays have an additional submenu where a
selection for the item can be made. Some submenu items listed in Table 3-3
have additional nested submenus (denoted by *). These multiple- le ve l
submenus are not listed here; refer to the referenced page number for more

Troubleshooting

This section provides general troubleshooting information and specific
symptom/corrective action for the BBG-1040-ACO and its remote control
interface. The BBG-1040-ACO requires no periodic maintenance in its
normal operation; if any er ror indication (as descr ib ed in this section) occurs,
use this section to correct the condition.

Error and Failure Indicator Overview

The BBG-1040-ACO itself and its remote control provide error and failure
indications. Depending on how the BBG-1040-ACO is being used (i.e,
standalone or network controlled through DashBoard™ or a Remote Control
Panel), check all available indications in the event of an error or failure
condition.

The various BBG-1040-ACO device and remote control error and failure
indicators are individually described below.

Note: The descriptions below provide general information for the various status and

error indicators. For specific failures, also use the appropriate subsection
listed below.

Setup/Operating Instructions Troubleshooting

Basic Troubleshooting Checks

Failures of a general nature (affecting many devices and/or functions
simultaneously), or gross inoperability errors are best addressed first by
performing basic checks before proceeding further. Table 3-4 provides basic
system checks that typically locate the source of most general problems. If
required and applicable, perform further troubleshooting in accordance with
the other troubleshooting tables in this section.

Table 3-4 Basic Troubleshooting Checks

Item Checks

Verify power presence and
characteristics

Check Cable connection
secureness and connecting
points

Check status indicators and
displays

Troubleshoot by
substitution

• On the BBG-1040-ACO, in all cases when power is being properly supplied
all indicators should be illuminated. Any device showing no illuminated
indicators should be cause for concern.

• Check the Power Consumed indication for the BBG-1040-ACO. This can be
observed using the Status front-panel or web UI pane.

• If display shows no power being consumed, either the frame power
supply, connections, or the BBG-1040-ACO itself is defective.

• If display shows excessive power being consumed (see Technical
Specifications (p. 1-10) in Chapter 1, “Introduction”), the
BBG-1040-ACO may be defective.

Make certain all cable connections are fully secure (including coaxial cable
attachment to cable ferrules on BNC connectors). Also, make certain all
connecting points are as intended. Make certain the selected connecting
points correlate to the intended device inputs and/or outputs. Cabling
mistakes are especially easy to make when working with large I/O modules.

On BBG-1040-ACO front panel and web interface indicators, red indications
signify an error condition. If a status indicator signifies an error, proceed to the
following tables in this section for further action.

All devices can be hot-swapped, replacing a suspect device with a
known-good item.

BBG-1040-ACO Processing Error Troubleshooting

T a ble 3-5 provides BBG-1040-ACO processing tr oubleshooting information.
If the BBG-1040-ACO exhibits any of the symptoms listed in Table 3-5,
follow the troubleshooting instructions provided.

In the majority of cases, most errors are caused by simple errors where the
BBG-1040-ACO is not appropri at ely set for the type of signal being r ece ive d
by the device.

Note: Where errors are displayed on both the BBG-1040-ACO and network remote

controls, the respective indicators and displays are individually described in
this section.
