Video Processor Description
The 9035 video subsystem also provides the functions described below.
Video Processor
The 9035 provides full color processing control (luma gain and lift, chroma
saturation, and color phase) of the output video.
Frame Sync Function
This function p rovide s for fra me s ync co ntrol usin g e ither one of t wo ext ern al
Ext. Framesync Reference IN (1,2) reference signals distributed with the card
frame, or the input video as a frame sync reference.
This function allows horiz ontal and/or ver tica l of fset to be added bet ween the
output video and the frame sync reference.
A video/audio delay offset function allows adding or reducing audio delay
from the matching video delay. This function is useful for correcting lip sync
problems when video and audio paths in the chain experience differing
overall delays. A Reset Framesync function resets the frame sync following
any horizontal or vert ical offset changes, clearing any buffered audio and
video and re-establ ishing t he frame s ync. The 903 5 re-est ablishes vi deo/audi o
sync following framesy nc changes by appl ying an of fset in small, progre ssive
amounts to provide a seamless, glitch-free retiming.
In the event of framesync loss of signal, this function provides for disabling
the video or going to a desired color raster.
(9035-DEC only) When Dolby
®
data is rece ived and actively routed into
embedded or discrete AES output channels, the frame sync function delays
the video by one frame (as required by the Dolby
®
decode processing delay)
to maintain video/audio sync.

The function also allows the se lect ion of the ancil lary data l ine nu mber wher e
the HD-SDI ATC data is stored when the output is HD.
Option +LTC allows bidirectional transfer and conversion
between VBI formats over SDI and audio LTC, as well as RS-485 LTC.
Audio LTC can be received or sent over a selected balanced analog audio
input, or as digital audio over a selected embedded or AES input.

Introduction9035 Functional Description
Audio Processor Description
The audio processor operates as an internal audio router. The router function
chooses from the following inputs:
•16 channels of embedded AES from the SDI video
•16 channels (8 pairs) of discrete AES input
•8 channels of balanced analog audio input
•Four independent internal tone generators (described below)
•Digital silence (mute) setting
•Down Mix Left (DM-L) and Down Mix Right (DM-R) (described
below)
•(9035-DEC only) Decoded Dolby
The router function provides the following audio outputs:
•16 channels of embedded AES SDI output
®
channels
•16 channels of discrete AES output on eight AES pairs
The router acts as a full audio cross point. Each of the 32 output channels (16
embedded AES, 16 discrete AES) can receive signal from any one of the 40
(16 embedded AES, 16 discrete AES, 8 analog) input channel sources, four
internal tone generators, or the Down Mix Left and/or the Down Mix-Right
mixer outputs. Unused output channels can be mapped to a “Silence” source.
Each output also provides gain adjustment and selectable polarity inversion.
(9035-DEC only) In addition to the audio sources described above, the up to
10 decoded Dolby
®
channels are available as input sources.
Output audio rates are always 48 kHz locked to output video, but discrete
AES inputs can pass through the sample rate converters to align these inputs
with the output timing. (AES must be nominally 48 kHz input; 32, 44.1, 96,
and 192 kHz inputs are not compatible with the 9035.) The sample rate
converters are disabled by default. Output AES is always precisely
synchronized with the output video. The balanced analog audio input is
sampled at 48 kHz with a +24 dBu clipping level (+24 dBu => 0 dBFS).
Note:As shown in Figure 1-1, the 9035 is equipped with eight discrete AES input
pair ports and eight discrete AES output pair ports. On Rear I/O Modules having limited AES I/O capabilities, switches S11 thru S14 allow available rear
module BNC connectors to be allotted between AES inputs and outputs as
desired. Buffered copies of
and as respective outputs fed through S11 – S14 on the 9035 card.

Tone Generator Function
The 9035 contains four built-in tone generators (Tone Generator 1 thru Tone
Generator 4). Each of the four tone generators can be set to a different
frequency, and are available as audio sour ces for the embedded or AES audio

to 16 kHz (default frequency is 1.0 kHz).
Audio Routing Example
Figure 1-6 shows an example of using the 9035 audio embedding/
de-embedding and routing functions to de-embed audio, route the audio to
discrete outputs for post-production processing (in this example, a console
used for post-production EQ, levels, and monitor), and finally re-embed the
audio into the SDI video output. Additionally, the example shows how
external analog sources can be embedded into the SDI output (in this
example, a provision for local station ID voice-over analog).
Note that the source and destination correlations shown here are only
examples; any source can route to any destination.

Introduction9035 Functional Description
Zero-DEClay Audio Embedding
In cases where additiona l delay must be avoided, it may be desirable to e mbed
AES with minimum latency. Using zero-DEClay embedding, the video can
then be delayed by one frame to account for any remaining audio delay. In
this manner , any del ay betwe en video an d audio can be cl eanly con tained and
managed within one frame period.
When zero-DEClay audio embedding is enabled for a given AES pair, the
pair is directly embe dded into it s correspondi ng group (for e xample, AES Pair
1 into embedded chann el s 1 and 2; AES Pair 2 into embedded channels 3 and
4, and so on) with the normal frame sync audio delay being bypassed.
This function overrides the audio routing sys tem (for example if AES Pair 1 is
selected, then the controls to route AES Pair 1 into other embedded channels
will not apply). Gain and polarity control is not available when this option is
selected. Zero-DEClay audio embedding is set to Off by default.
Low-Latency AES Passthrough
This function is similar to z ero-DEClay audio e mbedding. If low-latency AES
passthrough is selected for a given input pair, it causes the corresponding
AES output pair to act as a bit-for-bit copy of the corresponding AES input
pair.
This control overrides the normal audio routing and delay. Gain and polarity
control is not available when this option is selected. Passthrough is set to Off
by default.
Dolby® Decoding (9035-DEC only)
Note:Although the 9035-DEC Dolby® decoder can provide Dolby® Digital™ (AC-3)
decoding, discussion and examples here describe only Dolby
When Dolby® E or Dolby® Digital™ is present on a discrete AE S pair or an
embedded audio pair, the decoder produces up to 10 decoded channels

Dolby® Identification and Metadata Output Processing
(See Figure 1-7.) All AES pairs and embedded channels are checked by the
9035-DEC for valid Dolby
or discrete AES pair is detected, th e channel pair carrying the Dolby
®
status. When a valid Dolby® encoded embedded
®
format
is displayed as “Locked Dolby E ” or “Locked Dolby Digital”, as applicable.
(The decoder always uses the metadata associated with its respective AES
pair.) A selected encoded channel pair can then be directed to the Dolby
decoder . The decoder then di splays the Dolby
®
bitstream format and progr am
®
configuration (for example, “Dolby E 20-bit 5.1+2” indicating 5-channel
surround with LFE channel and stereo monitor pair) for the selected pair, as
defined by its metadata .
The 9035-DEC can embed metadata on the SDI output, sourced from either
SDI input video or from the decoder as desired. Similarly, the 9035-DEC
DOLBY META out put can prov ide RS-485 met adata for downstream dev ices or
systems. Metadata on the
DOLBY META RS-485 output can also be sourced
from either SDI input video or from the decoder as desired.

Parameter changes made by any of these means are universally accepted by the card (for
example, a change made using the card edge controls will change the setting displayed on
DashBoard™ and a Control Panel; a change made using DashBoard™ will similarly change the
setting displayed on a Control Panel and the card itself).

9035 Rear I/O Modules
The 9035 physically inte rfaces to sy stem video and audio con necti ons using a
Rear I/O Module. Figure 1-9 shows a typical 9035 Rear I/O Module.
All inputs and outputs shown in the 9035 Functi onal Block Diagram (Figure
1-1) enter and exit the card via the card edge backplane connector. The
Rear I/O Module breaks out the 9035 card edge connect ions to industry
standard connecti ons that interface with other components and sys tems in the
signal chain.
In this manner, the particular inputs and outputs required for a particular
application can be acc ommodat ed using a Rear I/O Module that best suits the
requirements. The required input and outputs are broken out to the industry
standard connectors on the Rear I/O Module; the unused inputs and outputs
remain unterminated and not available for use.
The full assortment of 9035 Rear I/O Modules is shown and described in
9035 Rear I/O Modules (p. 2-5) in Chapter 2, “Installation and Setup”.

Embedded AudioThe 9035 supports all four groups (16 channels) of embedded audio at
full 24-bit resolution in both SD (with extended data packets) and HD.
Analog AudioThe 9035 supports 8 channels of balanced (differential) analog audio.
The analog audio is encoded such that a +24 dBu input is equivalent to
digital 0 dBFS.
Discrete AES Audio InputThe 9035 can accept 16 channels (8 pairs) of discrete AES audio on
75Ω BNC connections. Sample rate conversion can be employed to
account for minor clock rate differences in the AES stream and the
input video stream.
Note: The AES signal must have a nominal rate of approximately
48 kHz. The 9035 does not support AES input at 32 kHz,
44.1 kHz, 96 kHz or 192 kHz rates.
