The BBG-1060-TG2-REF1 features dual independent video TSG blocks,
each capable of independent rasters, output format, and embedded anci llary
data.
Ref Lock Function
This function allows either of the TG1 or TG2 generators to receive external
ref lock, or a card internal ref lock source. Selectable failover allows alternate
reference selection should the initial reference source become unavailable or
invalid. This function also allows independent delay offsets for the
TG2 generators to be added or removed relative to the selected ref source.
Test Pattern Generator Function
Independent internal test pattern generators provides a selection of various
standard patterns such as color bars, sweep patterns, and other technical
patterns. A user-captured TSG selection allows a fu ll vi de o f rame to captured
and stored, available then as one of the pattern choices.

background, color, and opacity are user-configurable. Two disc rete 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 insert ion can be enabled to
serve as a dynamic raster confidence check.
Logo Insertion Function
This function provides for a graphic insertion onto the SDI processed output
raster. The function allows for uploading a .png image graphic file to the ca rd/
device memory. (png files are converted to a .bin format using a web tool
before uploading to the host card/device; this is described in the setup/
operating instructions in Chapter 3.) Insertion enable/disable is then manually
controlled using DashBoard.

Allows up to three discrete user frame captures from input video. When
captured, these sources can be used for custom output test video
patterns using the Test Pattern drop-down selector above.
To use the Capture tool:
1. With desired path selected, Set Output Mode to Input Video.
2. Set Capture Pattern Number to the user space you want the capture
stored in (i.e., User 1, 2, or 3).
3. Press Capture Pattern when desired frame to be captured is present.
The frame is now captured. The user capture frame can now be
selected for static use by selecting User 1 thru User 3 in the Test
Pattern select drop-down.
Note: Because this model does not provide scaling of user captures
to other formats, the format of the incoming SDI used for a
capture should be that of the intended output format
whenever a capture is to be used. For example, if the card is
to provide a 720p 59.94 capture at a later time, set card
Output Format to 720p 59.94 and furthermore, when frame

Uploading Your Logo or Trouble Slate Graphic Images to Cobalt Card or BBG-1000 Device
A user memory area for images is reserved in the card/device. A standard .png file is converted to a .bin file which is uploaded
to the card/device, where the .bin then provides the logo graphic used by the card/device. The conversion consists of an online
tool that takes in a .png and outputs the image .bin file which is then uploaded to the card/device as described in the steps below.
Note: • Your file must be a .png file with a .png extension. The filename should not contain spaces.
• No scaling is applied or available using the generator tool. (For example, if a 100 x 100 pixel image is uploaded to the
tool, the image overlay will also be 100 x 100 pixel regardless of program video format or raster dimensions.)
• Transparency aspects in your native file are preserved in the generator conversion.
Use the conversion tool as described below.
1. With your .png sized as desired for insertion, go to http://a.cdi-eng.com:55080/cgi-bin/image_upload. py
2. Browse to your file. A prompt will appear to save the generated .bin file. Select Save (or Save As) to store the generated file in
your desired folder. Close the tool when done.
3. In DashBoard on the card/device page, click Upload to upload the image file to the card/device. Follow the prompts to browse
to and upload the file. The image is now ready to be used by the c a rd/device. Set Graphic Overlay to Enabled to activate
insertion.
Note: Logo tab has identical independent controls for logo enable and insertion for both Path 1 and Path 2 using the Path 1 /
Path 2 sub-tabs.
• Logo Positioning Controls Sets logo burn-in position as follows:
• Horizontal Position sets horizontal position (in percentage of offset

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: When the Scaler is enabled, ATC packets are automatically
removed. The Timecode function must be used to re-insert the

Provides event-based loading allowing a defined action
to be automatically engaged upon various received
signal status. Actions can be “canned” control
commands or user-defined by going to a user preset.
Event Setup Controls
• Event based preset loading is not passive and can result in very significant and unexpected 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 can apply 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, although the
settings are persistent across power cycles).
Event triggers allow a variety of event screening criteria, and in turn provide an Event Action “go to” in response to the detect ed
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 Action: can be user-defined presets, “canned” (hard-coded) selections (such as GPO triggers or routing changes),
or automated E-mail alert to a respondent (see Email Alerts (p. 3-47) for setting up e-mail alerts).
• Each Event (Event 1 thr u Event 32) can be set to screen for any or several Definer criteria as shown in the example below. Up
to 32 separate events can be defined.
• Event 1 thru Event 32 are arranged with Event 1 having the highest priority, descending down to Event 32. Where multiple event
screening is enabled, lower-priority events are serviced first, with the highest-priority event being the final event serviced and last
action taken as well as last item logged in the Event History (see below). This helps ensure that a lower-priority event does not
mask detection of higher-priority event(s).
• The Status indicator and message shows the activation status of each Event. Green indicator means event is currently engaged.
Event Definers
Each event can be uniquely set up for any of the condition types in these columns. Unless set to Don’t
Care, all defined conditions will need to be true in order for the Event to be considered active
Note: Event criteria settings in any row comprise an AND function. Where multiple criteria are selected, a true (trigger) condition
is not propagated unless all specified criteria are true. To independently screen for multiple criteria, rows should be set up
where each criteria is screened in its own Event row. Examples of this are shown on the following pages.
The Event History log shows any triggered
events in groups of five most recent events
(newest at the top).
In the example here, log shows Event 2 as the
most recent event, and its user-selected action of
GPO 1 Close.
Pressing the Force Event Refresh button
updates the list.

In the example here for Event 1, the GPI tab is set to screen for GPI 1 Open>Closed. When detected, this status can be used
here to invoked an Insert SCTE 104 Splice Start Normal action.
Conversely, to activate a splice end, the revert GPI can be screened for detection.
Note: • Sc reened conditions are trigge red upon start of ev ent. Any event-based setup must be done in adva nce of the
triggering event in order for event to be detected.
• If a desired user preset does not appear in the Event Action drop-down, press the DashBoard Refresh button at
the bottom of the page to update the list in the drop-down.
• Loss of true conditions does not disengage an event-based triggering. A new set of true conditions must 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 preset.
• Make certain all definable event conditions that the card might be expected to “see” are defined in any of the
Event 1 thru Event 32 rows. This makes certain that the card will always have a defined “go-to” action if a
particular event occurs. For example, if the card is expe cted 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 presets) in any two
of the Event 1 thru Event 32 condition definition rows.
• Event Actions defined using user presets must be us ed with care t o prev ent conditions that could c ause looping
or the removal or “override” of desired expected settings. When using presets, the Preset Layer selection should

• Where multiple event screening is set up, the event you consider to be the highest priority should be set as higher

User States is a special column which allows a logic state to be set (similar to a register or latch) whenever a defined condition
is first triggered. A user state (which is latched until cleared by some other definable action) can be sucessively used with other
user states, thereby allowing a final action to be invoked only when subordinate user states have been sequentially satisfied as
true.
In the example here, two independent units are used for an EAS alert input (one box supplies alert key video, and the other
supplies automated alert audio). Both communicate their ready signal each using edge-trigger GPO’s which are fed to the
respective GPI 1 and GPI 2 on the card. Because these two boxes are independent and cannot be relied upon to provide
coinciding triggers, a chain of user state definers are used here to engage a preset routing key video and EAS audio routing
when both states from both boxes are true in the order of GPI 1 first and then GPI 2 second for this example.

When either GPI 1 or GPI 2 has a rising-edge trigger

clearing user state 3. Either state change calls a
preset to revert to normal operation.

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 3-3 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.

Troubleshoot by
substitution
• On the BBG-1060-TG2-REF1, 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-1060-TG2-REF1. 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-1060-TG2-REF1 itself is defective.
• If display shows excessive power being consumed (see Technical
Specifications (p. 1-15) in Chapter 1, “Introduction”), the
BBG-1060-TG2-REF1 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-1060-TG2-REF 1 front panel and web inter fac e indica tor s , 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.

Recovering Card From SD Memory Card
New production cards come equipped with an SD card installed in a slot
receptacle on the underside of the card. The data on this SD card can be used
to restore a card should the card become unresponsive (can’t communicate
with DashBoard or other remote control). Recovering a card using the
procedure here will restore the card to any installed option licenses and the
most recent firmware installed.
1. (See Figure 3-10.) Make certain the car d has the proper SD card installed
in the under-card slot. If SD card i s not instal led, contact Product Suppor t
to obtain an SD card.
Note: If unit is a BBG-1000 Series device, remove the top cover before proceeding.
