The BBG-1070-QS includes input processing functions to accommodate SDI and CVBS analog inputs, a validity check function to provide indication of input defects, timecode and audio data handling and routing control, multi-split ARC/scaling functions, a t iming align ment funct ion to sy nchroni ze th e inpu ts to house reference, up to 5:1 Picture-in-Picture (PiP) video combining, and burn-in attributes and control of bor ders, UMD display text, audio met ers, and other accessory displays. The output is available as a 3G/HD/SD-SDI output or HDMI/DVI. The output rast er for mat and asp ect ra tio is user-configurable .

BBG-1070-QS Input/Output Formats

The BBG-1070-QS provides the following inputs and outputs:

• Inputs:

• SDI/CVBS IN A thru SDI/CVBS IN E – five coaxial video inputs

(auto-detecting 3G/HD/SD-SDI or CVBS analog video)

Video Processing Description

• Outputs:

• 3G/HD/SD-SDI OUT – 3G/HD/SD-SDI multi-image video output

• HDMI/DVI OUT – Multi-image HDMI/DVI out with select able audio

embedding (suitable for direct connection to monitor panels)

The BBG-1070-QS features input select and validity check functions, timing alignment, and PiP ARC/scaling functions as described below.

Input Video Select Function

Auto-detect per PiP inputs independently set each of the device video inputs as 3G/HD/SD-SDI or CVBS SD analog video. Either mode preserves waveform and packet-based ancillary data for extraction and usage later in the processing chain. A CVBS input is automatically detected by the device input, with the CVBS ADC converter automatically engaged in these cases.

Timecode Processor

This function provides for extraction of timecode data from any of the five per-PiP input video sources, and in turn allows timecode strings to be burned into the respective PiP images. The function can monitor any of the device video inputs for supported timecode formats such as HD ATC_LTC or ATC_VITC, and ATC_VITC or VITC waveform for SD SDI or CVBS inputs.

When licensed with option receive and translate audio LTC timecode (from Emb Ch 1-16) for insertion as SMPTE 12M ATC timecode formats onto the output video as described above.

ARC Processor

This function provides separate ARC controls for each PiP input. The separate controls can re -aspe ct SD t o match th e aspe cting used f or HD i nputs, and vice versa. Custom aspecting is also available for both HD and SD formats.

Quint-Split ARC Scaler/Formatting Function

This function provides conversion of each PiP input to match a common user-selec ted format , result ing in image s that ar e format- matched and suita ble for combining int o a si ngl e PiP image. When the PiP images are sized by this function, the borders and other accessory attributes are now integrated into each PiP image. In addition to full user control of PiP image H/V sizing, accessory attributes such as border size, weight, and color can be user configured.

Quint Timing Alignment Function

This function provides for frame alignment control of the five PiP inputs using either the external video as a frame reference. As such, BBG-1070-QS can accommodate asynchronous program video inputs.

FRAME LOOP reference signal, or a selected input

This function also allows frame offset delay to be added between the output video and the frame sync reference.

Frame sync can select from external frame reference source, input video, or free-run (internal) timing. Selectable failover allows alternate reference selection should the initial reference source become unavailable or invalid.

5:1 Video Combiner/Formatting Function

This function combines the five video images into the user-configured positions within the overall image. At this point, all PiP images are of the same raster format and fully synchronous. User positioning controls provide the H and V offsets that position the images as desired by the operator using the GUI controls.

Identity Text Burn-In/Formatting Function

This function provides us er controls f or entering UMD and ident user text tha t is burned into each PiP image. Controls allow full control of positioning, sizing, and color/ background/op acity attr ibutes. Burn-i n text can be use r entry text, video format of the corresponding PiP, wall-time clock, or external text sourced via IP from an automation system.

Tally Graphics Insert/Control

This function accommodates tally inputs (received as GPI, serial, or network commands) and allows configu ring the commands to pro vide tally indi cations for each PiP image. All visual attributed are configurable, including “lamp” color, size, and positioning.

Up to five GPI inputs are available for selecting per-PiP tally lamp insertions and border attributes such as colors. The combined states of the GPI inputs can form “virtual” GPIs which can be used for up to 16 discrete GPI-defined actions. Tally activation can also be controlled via IP from an automation system/router. UMD text can be inserted using local user text entry or integrated with router automation to receive text from the automation s ystem.

Output Preview via Network Connection

A DashBoard Output Preview function provides the display of regularly-sampled screen captures in the device DashBoard remote control page. This provides remote-access program video content/presence and multiviewer layout confidence monitoring via the device’s DashBoard display without nee din g col location with the BBG-1070 or it s input or output video signals.

When the device is acquiring frame captures (either 5-second periodicupdated continuous images or single frame (user selectable)), the area on the bottom of the DashBoard page displays the multiviewer image of the input video PiPs. DashBoard acquires program video frame captures using an external network connection from the BBG-1070 Ethernet port to the network/computer hosting the device’s DashBoard connection. (When preview is requested, D ashBoard q ueries the device addr ess for the image, with the image transferred via the device rear panel Ethernet connection).

Audio Processor Description

Audio Select/Embed

The audio processor operates as an internal audio router for selecting PiP-input embedded channels 1-16 as channels (as a four-group package) to be embedded into the combine d PiP S DI and HDMI vid eo outpu ts. The a udio processor functi on o per ates with the timing al i gnment function to align au dio with the selected refere nce.

Note: • Output audio always corresponds to a single particular selectable PiP input.

V arious output embedded channels cannot be sourced from a mix of various PiP input embedded channels.

• To maintain conformance with CEA-861D HDMI audio channel line-up

specifications and industry standard SDI convention, the HDMI output swaps between the C and LFE channels for the HDMI output.

Per-PiP Audio PPM Meters

Each PiP image area has setup controls to provide audio meters in several formats (channel count) as desired. Each PiP image has an audio meter display that can display from 2-bar stereo up to all four embedded audio groups for the audi o asso cia ted with th e PiP i nput. User c ontrol s al low set ting meter complement, position, size, and other graphic attributes.

Cascading (Multi-Device) BBG-1070-QS Operation and Setup Overview

(See Figure 1-2.) The BBG-1070-QS PIP 5 input is ideally suited to allow multiple BBG-1070-QS devices to operate in a cascading arrangement, where four of the device inputs serve as program video inputs, and the fifth input receives the cascading combined layout of a preceding BBG-1070-QS device in a daisy-chain arrangement. In this mode, the configured to serve as a full-size underlay with overlays. In this manner, added PiPs can be positioned within the imported underlay resulti ng in a combine d image of the import ed underla y PiPs and th e locally added PiPs.

PIP 1 thru PIP 4 being

Cascading Low-Latency Operation

Low-latency modes provide for reducing I/O latency by bypassing the cascade input framesync. Low-latency modes apply framesyncing when needed (applying framesync and bypassing low-latency during these intervals). When alignment is again detected by the local device, framesyncing is correspondingly disabled and low-latency operation is again applied.

Cascade Config (Configurator) DashBoard Control Consolidation

(See Figure 1-3.) The Ca scade Config Das hBoard tabs and multi-unit network connection allows cascade chain network-connected BBG-1070-QS units to communicate with each other and expose settings and attributes from all of the units within the chain. In th is setup, each unit will “see” the other units in the network chain connection, with access to PiP controls for all PiPs from any unit within the chain.

This global consolidation allows setup control of any of the PiPs from one unit. Settings can be performed on one PiP, and then be cloned across as many PiPs in the chain as desired. This rem oves the need to set up each unit individually, with settings manually repeated for several units. It also allows presets that can “look at” and set up all the units in the chain from a single preset.

Cascade Config DashBoard tabs and multi-unit network connection allows cascade chain network-connected BBG-1070-QS units (BBG-1070-QS units “A” thru “D” in this example) to communicate with each other and centrally expose setup attributes of all of the units within the chain.

Cascade Config is designed to use the first unit as a full quint-split processor, with subsequent units in the chain taking in the cascade underlay as In E and additional PiP inputs as In A thru In D. In this example, a 17-input multiviewer is attained (four units providing 5+4+4+4 = 17 input channels).

BBG-1070-QS units within the chain (equipped with Ethernetport rear modules) are connected to a shared network. This allows the units to “see” each other, with each unit exposing control attributes for all the units.

Cascade Mode Select sets PiP 5 as a input to be used to receive a cascade output from another BBG-1070-QS unit or to be set as a regular fifth PiP input as follows:

• Enabled: Sets PiP 5 input to receive a cascade output from another BBG-1070-QS unit. Because this cascaded underlay will have any burn-in insertions already in place from the upstream source unit, all PiP 5 burn-in insertions are automatically disabled in this mode. Also, since this PiP will serve as an underlay for any added PiPs, in this mode PiP 5 is inserted full-size, with all sizing and positioning controls locked out for this PiP insertion.

• Disabled: Sets PiP 5 input to be used as regular input, with full aspect and sizing/positioning control and burn-ins as PiPs 1 thru 4. Use this mode when only a single, non-cascaded BBG-1070-QS is to used for multi-image processing.

Unit Local inputs are inputs received by the unit to serve as an individual PiP image. A Cascade input is an image imported into the unit from an upstream BBG-1070-QS used in a multi-unit cascading multiviewer arrangement. An input used as a cascade input has controls related to local setup locked out (for example, burn-ins and sizing) since a cascading input serves as an underlay with all its burn-ins and other attributes already provided by the upstream unit. Note that on a downstream unit receiving a cascade input, this input should be considered independent of the local input positioning and attribute control provided by the downstream unit.

• Cascade Mode Low-Latency Status Displays the low-latency framesync bypass status as shown below.

Provides modes where unit I/O latency can be reduced (by bypassing cascade input framesync) using the choices shown and described below.

• Disabled: Normal default mode where an upstream cascaded input is always aligned to the local unit’s selected reference. This results in the normal, expected one-frame delay due to the framesyncing action. Where low-latency is not required, it is recommended to use this mode.

• Enabled – Automatic alignment: This mode applies framesyncing when needed (applying framesync and bypassing low-latency during these intervals). When alignment is again detected by the local unit, framesyncing is correspondingly disabled and low-latency operation is again applied. Because this mode can automatically enable and disable framesyncing, an occasional video “hit” should be expected when using this mode.

• Enabled – Manual alignment: Similar to the Automatic alignment mode, this mode will disable low-latency framesync bypass when needed. However, it will not apply alignment until the Cascade Alignment Apply button is pressed, thereby circumventing an unexpected auto-align video “hit”.

Note: Where a multi-unit cascaded arrangement is being used, locking all

inputs and all BBG-1070-QS units to the same house reference will optimize alignment and help allow unimpeded low-latency operation (with Latency Mode being set to Enabled - Automatic alignment).

• Green indicator and “disabled” message indicates low-latency framesync bypass is disabled by Low Latency control being set to Disabled.

• Yellow indicator and “drifting” message indicates low-latency framesync bypass is disabled by event requiring framesync with low-latency correspondingly disabled. This message typically appears when auto mode is selected and cascaded input is experiencing timing drift versus local timing.

• Yellow indicator and “requires alignment” message indicates cascading input is now detected as being locked, but local unit requires Align button to be pressed to remove any buffer excess and re-establish sync.

• Green indicator and “enabled and aligned” message indicates cascading input is now detected as being locked, with full bypass of framesyncing and low-latency now is effect.

• SDI Error Counter/Clear In conjunction with the device Status page and its Input status indicators (where an SDI input(s) is being used) allows running error totals to be cleared.

Status page shows input status and OK Time / Errors for inputs receiving SDI.

Cloned settings can significantly affect layouts. Make certain all aspects of layouts/attributes are understood (as described in this Chapter) before applying clones to other PiPs. Make certain only desired attributes are cloned as intended (using the controls described below). Individual tabs also have clone controls which can be used to clone only certain layout attributes to other PiPs as desired.

Cascade Mode Using PiP Layout QuickSet Template Presets

The Number of Rows and Number of Columns drop-downs set the grid format to be used for a multi-unit, multiviewer setup. Once the number of rows/columns is set, this is propagated to other PiP controls on the unit, since this will be a unit global setting that allows other PiP insertions to conform with the desired grid layout.

The QuickSet Action field shows a summary of the configured layout. Click Apply QuickSet to enact the layout setup.

In this example, a 4-row x 4-column grid is being set up (which can provide a 16:1 multiviewer layout using four BBG-1070-QS units, each handling four PiP images).

The Row Position and Column Position drop-downs set where in the grid the PiP image will be inserted (in this example, position row 1 / column 1).

Layout QuickSets provide for layouts consisting of symmetrical columns and rows that are intended for cascade layouts where, for example, an upstream BBG-1070-QS provides a first column of PiP images, and then a second BBG-1070-QS provides the second column of PiP images.

Example 16:1 Multiviewer Setup Using Multi-Unit Cascading Mode and Quicksets

This example shows a layout setup that provides a 16:1 multiviewer output. It uses four BBG-1070-QS units, each handling four PiP inputs, and with each unit set to work with a 16-PiP (4x4) grid.

1. First, on the PIP 1 > PIP Position tab a 4x4 grid is set up. This setup will propagate to the PiP 2 thru PIP 4 same controls on the unit. (This must also be done for any other BBG-1070-QS units in the chain.)

2. On the first BBG-1070-QS, PiP 1 thru PiP 4 images (“CAM 1 thru “CAM 4”) are routed and positioned as Row Positions 1 thru 4, all in

Column 1. This results in the first column of four images for the 16:1 multiviewer setup.

The SDI output of this unit is routed to the next BBG-1070-QS as the PIP 5 input, with this unit set up with Cascade Mode > Enabled. This places the first unit output as an underlay with its merged PiP output positioned in the first column.

Unit A:

“CAM 1” – “CAM 4” in 1st column

3. On the second BBG-1070-QS unit, PiP 1 thru PiP 4 images (“CAM 5” thru “CAM 8”) are routed and positioned as Row Positions 1 thru 4, all now set in Column 2.

Along with the underlay imported from unit 1 as column 1, this now results in the first column of four underlay imported images and the second column of four more locally inputed PiP images (“CAM 1” thru “CAM 8”).

4. Using a total of four BBG-1070-QS units (Unit A thru Unit D) similarly configured in a daisy-chain arrangement, the SDI output of an upstream BBG-1070-QS provides the cumulative built-up underlay, and allows positioning local PiP images in successive columns. In this example, four units each are set to progressively position local PiP inputs in columns 1 thru 4, respectively. This results in four multiviewer columns consisting here of:

“CAM 1” – “CAM 4” “CAM 5” – “CAM 8” “CAM 9” – “CAM 12” “CAM 13” – “CAM 16”

Unit B:

“CAM 1” – “CAM 4” in 1st c olumn im ported a s underl ay. “CAM 5” – “CAM 8” (unit 2 local inputs 1-4) positioned

in 2nd column.

)

When using custom positioning, it is helpful to first size all the PiP small (as thumbnail sized). This helps avoid a PiP “hiding” underneath another PiP. Pressing the Identify PIPs button as shown here will help make sure each PiP input correlation is known, and all PiP are present as expected.

With the PiP identities now known, one-by-one each PiP can be sized and positioned to its desired size/position as shown in the example here.

Aspect Ratio control applies a custom ARC with scaling reflecting the division of the aspect ratio (e.g., “50%” setting is equivalent to 2H:4V, or 2 divided by 4).

Size control provides a proportional scaling of the PiP Image within the PiP area, maintaining whatever aspect ratio is in effect.

See Loading Saved Presets to New or Different BBG-1070 Units (Cascade Config Usage) (p. 3-56) in Presets for instructions.

• If a global preset is to apply in some manner to all units in the chain, it is recommended to have all units in the chain set up as desired, and then save the preset on the last unit in the chain.

Cascade Configurator Network Setup

The configurator definer tool defines the BBG-1070-QS units within a particular cascade chain by unit IP address, and each unit’s position within the multiviewer setup. The setup is based on BBG-1070-QS units being used with the first unit receiving 5 program video inputs, and subsequent cascade BBG-1070-QS units each receiving an upstream cascade underlay (on PiP 5 In) with 4 program video inputs being received on Pi P I n 1 thru PiP In 4 (in other words, as a 5 + 4n matrix, with n being the number of downstream cascade units).

This allows multiviewer setups using up to 20 units (A thru T in the definer shown below) to provide an up to 81-split combined multiviewer image.

Assign each unit in the cascade chain a dedicated IP address (if not done so already). Working from the starting unit to

each downstream cascade unit, enter the unit IP address in each IP MV field.

When done, click the Connect

button. When all units enter are connected, button shows Connected.

Set up PiP positioning, sizing, and attributes (UMD, Idents, tallies, audio bars etc.) as described in respective sections of

this chapter. Once the definer described above is connected, these attributes for all units can be configured from any unit in the chain. See the example on the next page for an overview and tips on using Cascade Config.

Cascade Configurator Network Setup

Net Status fields show connection status of each entered unit.

• Self indicates unit that is currently being viewed in setup dialog.

• Connected indicates other unit that is defined in dialog .

• Not Connected indicates that unit IP hasn’t been entered in IP MV row, or simply a blank MV definer row that isn’t being used.

• Connection Failed indicates a unit that has IP entered is no longer

connected (due to cabling issue or other network issue).

Cascade Status fields show cascade mode settings (Enabled or Dsiabled) and status for each defined unit in the chain (as shown in the example here, first unit in chain is not set for cascade since it uses all inputs as program video PiPs).

Note: When all units are connected, this pane is available in al l defined units in the chain.

All BBG-1070-QS units (except for unit in first-unit row A position) must be set for Cascade Mode. This allows subsequent units to receive the PiP images from preceding units.

See Cascade Mode Select (p. 3-11) for details on using the cascade mode.

Cascade Configurator Example and Setup Tips

The following shows an example where a 17:1 multiviewer is furnished using Cascade Config with four BBG-1070-QS units forming a 4-unit chain (5+4+4+4 PiP inputs which provides a 17-PiP multiviewer).

A very important and clarifying aspect of using Cascade Config is when the units are cascade network defined (as described on the previous page) the DashBoard UI simply combines all the discrete units as a single device. A primary function of Cascade Config is to provide a global, centralized setup point for all units in the chain, thereby creating (from the UI perspective) a virtual single-device multiviewer.

As shown to the left, all DashBoard layout and attribute controls appear and function just like using the single-unit BBG-1070-QS. The only difference is now all the PiPs can be accessed from a single point (rather than going from unit-to-unit). In our example, the PIP Layout drop-down now has Configure definers for PiPs 1 thru 17 instead of just PiPs 1 thru 5 for a single, non-networked unit.

With Cascade Config, the only setup aspects that remain local to each unit in the chain are:

• Input Routin g (each unit still needs its per-unit input sources defined)

• Output Audio (each unit needs to know whether to pass audio from an upstream

unit, or use audio sourced from a local PiP input

• Output Format (Output format will likely be set consistent across all units in the chain. If a format change is needed for the final output, this is best accomplished by doing this on the last unit in the chain.)

Shown below is the example multiviewer setup described in this example. For this example, Idents are set as PIP1 thru PIP 17 for the 17 PiPs in the merged MV output. Also for example purposes, the parenthetical designations correlate to the unit A thru D per-unit PiP inputs that provide the 5+4+4+4 that result in the 17-PiP aggregate.

Cascade Configurator Example and Setup Tips (cont.)

First, all BBG-1070-QS units in the cascade chain need to be assigned

dedicated IP addresses to be used in conjunction with the per-unit dedicated Ethernet RJ-45 port.

In the example here, four units (A thru D in the cascade chain) are using dedicated IP addresses 10.99.11.1 thru 10.99.11.4, respectively. This provides for a 17-PiP multiviewer setup

Unit A (10.99.11.1) PiP 1 thru 5 Unit B (10.99.11.2) PiP 6 thru 9 Unit C (10.99.11.3) PiP 11 thru 13 Unit D (10.99.11.4) PiP 14 thru 17

Total: PiPs 1 thru 17 on combined MV output

With the four units (A thru D comprising the chain) assigned

dedicated IP addresses, the IP addresses of the four units are entered in the A thru D definer slots in Cascade Config page. When all unit IP’s are entered, click Connect. The units are now connected in the Cascade mode.

All of the PiP Layout, ARC/Borders, Tally, UMD/Idents, and other graphical attributes are under the cloning “umbrella”

(i.e., attributes can be set up for a given PiP and then cloned across others as desired). Knowing the desired general layout, set up any PiP meeting your layout desires, and then clone and modify the settings to achieve the overall desired layout. The example below shows some examples of setting up a given PiP, and then cloning and “tweaking” the settings for another PiP.

Note: Refer to setup control sections (e.g., PIP ARC/Borders Controls, UMD/Identification Text Insertion Controls, etc.)

for specific instructions on using the particular graphic tool.

In the example layout shown, knowing a layout with 4 rows and 5 columns is desired, the PiP Layout settings for any PiP can be set for 4x5 rows/columns as shown. In this example starting with PiP 2, the row 1 position and column 2 position is set and applied, and the PiP is sized accordingly (20x25 in this example).

Once this is done, this PiP is cloned across all PiPs to establish the baseline consistency across all PiPs. Then after this, the row/column positions for the other PiPs can be tweaked to place them as desired. Other attributes such as UMD/Idents and Tallies are then group cloned and then tweaked as desired.

Using the global 4x5 rows/columns layout, PiP 2 is accordingly sized and set up to be positioned in Row Position 1 and Column Position 2. This baseline setting is cloned across all PiPs.

Using the global cloned settings from PiP 2, PiP 9 is set up by using all cloned settings and simply tweaking the Row/Column positions to place it as desired.

In this example, the UMD/Idents are also cloned, with the only tweaks necessary being the ID values.

Note that any PiP settings can be accessed from any unit in the cascade chain.

Note: User custom text entered in UMD or Ident cells must be

manually entered for each UMD and/or Ident cell. User custom text cannot be cloned from one PiP to another.

• TSL Port Number is the logical port assigned for the TSL router.

• PIP n Update From Display correlates the TSL display number to the

BBG-1070-QS PiP channel.

• Tally 1 Color / Tally 2 Color selects the “illumination” colors to be used when either Tally Lamp 1 or Tally Lamp 2 is activated.

Note: • The TSL integration works on a PiP-by-PiP basic (rather than

commands being tied to device input channels).

• TSL router/server holds BBG-1070-QS IP address to establish connection. Therefore, the Image Video address is not required here.

Up to five GPI inputs are available which can be used as direct or logic statement control inputs. Additionally, up to 256 VGPIs (virtual GPIs) can be received via certain automation system via the network connection.

In examples here, GPI Condition 2 goes active when triggers defined as other than Don’t Care become true (in this case, the GPI 1 and GPI 2 2 conditions shown).

In the GPI Condition 15 example shown here, the GPI inputs are not used (set t o Don’t Care), while when VGPI# 15 goes true, GPI Condition 15 becomes active.

GPI Condition 1 thru GPI Condition 16 defined here are in turn used with the Event Actions page t o provide tally, border, and other attributes control based off of GPI inputs received. (See Event Actions Setup Controls (p. 3-49) for instructions on setting up action triggering controls.)

GPI 1 thru GPI 4 definers have drop-down which allow setting the logic associated with the input:

Open = pullup HI Closed = pulldown LO Open->Closed = falling-edge trigger Closed->Open = rising-edge trigger

• Unused GPI inputs should be set to “Don’t Care”

Make certain GPI inputs are in accordance with GPI Inputs in Technical Specifications, Chapter 1. Introduction.

Event Actions Setup Controls

The Event Actions page allows defining up to 32 discrete events that can be used to control attributes (color, on/off states, and other visual cues) of tally, border, or other graphics in response to GPI, data, or video status conditions. This provides easily incorporated and flexible attributes control using internally assessed conditions or via integration with external IP assets.

Event Trigger Select

Sets conditions or inputs that control attributes actions:

• Engage Mode tells row settings to be engaged upon defined rules being true, or by forcing the even t. Force Event s et t ing is useful for testing how the Action appears, or for manually setting an attribute without external triggers.

• • •

Event Action Select

Sets the action to take place when a corresponding trigger is received:

• Tally Select allows selecting tally lamp 1 and/or 2 at tribute actions t o be applied when a trigger is true.

• Tally Color assigns a color to be applied to the selected lamp when a trigger is true.

• Border Action allows border color to be changed when a trigger is true.

• Ident Sele ct selects fromUMD, Ident1, Ident2, Timecode, or No Action to be invoked when a trigger is true.

• Ident FG (foreground) Color and BG (background) Color allow text and/or background color changes to either Ident1 and/or Ident2 text insertions to be applied when a

trigger is true.

• Ident Text allows alternat ive Ident text to be optionally asserted when a trigger is true.

• • •

Note: • Event Trigger conditions, when used in a combination and not set as “Don’t Care” comprise an AND function. Make

certain any conditions not to be considered are set to Don’t Care. Similarly, if an attribute is not to be “touched” by the invoking of an event, make certain these actions are set to “No Action”.

• Loss of true conditions does not disengage an event-based triggering. A new set of true conditions (or a separate row defined as the false of the condition) must be defined and then occur to transition from one event-based trigger to another.

• Any attribute can be manually set by defining an event, and then setting Engage Mode to Force Event.

Event Action Examples

• • •

In this example, GPI Condition 1 and GPI Condition 2 are used to control the color and activation of the PiP 1 tally lamps.

- When GPI Condition 1 is active as a trigger (Event 1) , the event action sets the tally lamp 1 to green.

- When GPI Condition 2 is active (Event 2), the event action sets the tally lamp 1 to red.

• • •

In this example, Video Format is used as a trigger to put up a special border for PiP 5 if the PiP format is anything other than 1080i 5994.

- If 1080i 5994 is being received (Event 1), the border displays as green.

- If a format other than 1080i 5994 is received (comprising a false condition as set in Event 2), the previous action is overwritten with a new action to turn the border to red.

Some of the mode and parametric controls available using the web UI (as described in Front Panel User Menus) are available using the front panel display and arrow navigating buttons.

The front panel menus offers a true standalone means to configure the BBG-1070-QS with no connection to a networ k requir ed, 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 simplified user interfaces as compared to using this menu and the arrow controls. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that the web GUI or DashBoard remote control be used for all applications other than the mos t basic cases.

Troubleshooting

This section provides general troubleshooting information and specific symptom/corrective action for the BBG-1070-QS and its remote control interface. The BBG-1070-QS requires no periodic maintenance in its normal operation; if any error indic ation (as des cribe d in thi s sect io n) occur s, use t his section to correct the condition.

Error and Failure Indicator Overview

The BBG-1070-QS itself and its remote control provide error and failure indications. Depending on how the BBG-1070-QS is being used (i.e, standalone or network con tro lled ), check all ava ilabl e indic atio ns in the event of an error or failure condition.

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 3-2 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 3-2 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-1070-QS, 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-1070-QS. 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-1070-QS itself is defective.

• If display shows excessive power being consumed (see Technical Specifications (p. 1-11) in Chapter 1, “Introduction”), the BBG-1070-QS 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-1070-QS 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.

In Case of Problems

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 3-9.) Make certain the card 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.
