Introduction 9061 Functional Description
9061 Functional Description
Figure 1-1 shows a functional block diagram of the 9061. The 9061 format
converter also includes a full 16-c hannel audio embedder/de-embedde r, a
12-bit analog-to-digital video converter, an 8-channel, 24-bit balanced
analog-to-digital audio converter, and a full video frame synchronizer. The
9061 also handles AFD code detection and processing, timecode support,
closed captioning support, and transfer of Dolby
As such, the 9061 is highly suited as a universal input processing card with
comprehensive audio and video support. The video source can be either an
HD/SD-SDI input or an HD/SD analog video input. The video can be up,
down, or cross-converted to a different format, and aspect ratio can be
corrected to provide proper output aspect.

Introduction 9061 Functional Description
Video Processor Description
The 9061 features a scaler that provide s up, down, and cross- conversion usi ng
de-interlacing and motion adaptation for high quality up-conversions. The
scaler also provides user-adjustable aspect ratio control and zoom control.
Separate controls are provided for SD and HD inputs that allow the card to
flexibly and independently handle mixed input formats.
The 9061 video subsystem also provides the functions described below.
Video Processor
The 9061 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 REF IN (1,2) reference sign als di stri buted wit h the ca rd fra me, or the inpu t
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.
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 vertical offset changes, clearing any buffered audio and
video and re-establ ishing t he frame s ync. The 906 1 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. A user-selectable hard
resync function allows setting a threshold at which hard resync is applied if
audio-video offset exceeds a selectable threshold. Hard resync provides
fastest snyc-up suitable for off-air manipulation. Conversely, a threshold
setting that avoids hard resync allows glitch-free on-air manipulation.
In the event of input video loss of signal, this function provides for disabling
the video, going to a des ired color raster, or freezing to the last intact frame
(for SDI, last frame having valid SAV and EAV codes; for analog, last frame
free of timing errors).

Notes: 1. The drop-down list choice of “Same as Input” is used when no conversion is desired. For clarity, it is not redundantly listed here.
2. “X” denotes conversions not available or invalid conversions.
3. Interlaced formats rates listed are field rates. Progressive format rates listed are frame rates.
4. If the original material does not have a proper 3-2 cadence suitable for conversion to film rates, the conversion reverts t o standard
de-interlacing. While this video can be converted to film rates, the resulting image motion will lack smoothness. Therefore, make
certain interlaced video is appropriately constructed for 3-2 reverse pulldown when converting video to film rates. See 3-2
Pulldown Conversion and Considerations (p. 1-12).
5. Formats using a 30/29.97 Hz progressive frame rate can be converted to a 24/23.98 Hz progressive frame rate, however some

When output video is set to 720p for either SD or HD video, the 720p output
can be converted to 7 20p half-r ate for mats as lis ted in Table 1-1. When output
video is set to 1080 film (1080p23.98) for either SD or HD inputs, the 9061
can convert the output to 1080P sF23. 98 (seg mente d frame progre ssive) . Both
of these functions c an be i ndepend ently appli ed to e ither SD and/o r HD vide o
inputs.
The scaler function also provides aspect ratio conversion that provides a
choice from several standard aspect ratios. Additionally, user defined and
“Follow AFD Settings” conversion can be applied. User defined settings
allow custom user-defined H and V aspect ratio control. “Follow AFD
Settings” sets the output aspect ratio to track with AFD (Active Format
Description) settings embedded in the received video signal.

the input video, and in turn re-insertion of timecode data into the output SDI.
In this manner, timecode data can be preserved, even after fo rmat conv ersi on.
The function can monitor analog and SDI video streams for supported
timecode formats and then select and prioritize among analog VITC, SDI
VITC, SDI ATC_VITC, and SDI ATC_LTC. If the preferred format is
detected, the preferred format is used by the ca rd; if the pre ferred format is
not detected, the card uses other formats (where available) as desired.

3-2 Pulldown Conversion and Considerations
Figure 1-3 depicts the 3-2 pulldown process used for conversions between
progressive film video formats and interlaced video formats. (Although the
term “3-2” is used here per convention, it is more accurately described as 2-3
per the diagram here and SMPTE definitions which stipulate that first film
frame
A be represented exclusively by 2 fields from the same frame). As
shown in Figure 1-3, the term 2-3 is derived from the pattern, or cadence, in
which four consecutive fi lm video frames are convert ed i nto five consecutive
interlaced video frames (i.e., 10 interlaced video fields). Odd and even interlaced fields are denoted in Figure 1-3 by “
“

rates.
3-2 Pulldown

Using reverse pulldown, each film video frame is constructed from 2 interlaced fields with odd and even fields selected
as shown. The conversion pattern shown reverses the pulldown, thereby restoring the original signal.
Note: If the original interlaced material does not have the cadence described here, the conversion reverts to standard
de-interlacing. While this video can be converted to film rates, the resulting image motion will lack smoothness.
Therefore, make certain interlaced video is appropriately constructed for reverse pulldown when converting video to film
rates. Similarly, formats using a 30/29.97 Hz progressive frame rate can be converted to a 24/23.98 Hz progressive
frame rate, however some image motion irregularity will appear in the converted output.

Introduction 9061 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 audio 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
• Internal Down Mix and Mono Mixer outputs (described below)
The router function provides the following audio outputs:
• 16 channels of embedded audio on the SDI output
• 16 channels of discrete AES output on eight AES pairs
The router acts as a full audio cross point. Each of th e 32 out put cha nnels (16
embedded, 16 discrete AES) can receive signal from any one of the 40 (16
embedded AES, 16 discr et e AES, 8 analog) input channels , f our i nt er nal t one
generators, or several mixer outputs. Unused output channels can be mapped
to a “Silence” source. Each output also provides gain adjustment and
selectable polarity inversion.
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 9061.) 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).
As set with the default settings, t he routing be tween embedded aud io channels
Embed Ch 1 thru Embed Ch 16 and discrete AES a udi o ch anne ls AES Ch1 thru
AES Ch 16 is as shown in Figure 1-4. In this mode, the routing is basic 1-to-1
embedding/de-embedding for the 16 embedded and AES discrete audio
channels. Other sources and/or destinations (described below) for each
channel are selected using the card edge controls or a remote control system.
Note: As shown in Figure 1-1, the 9061 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 9061 card.

AES Audio Input Advanced Features
AES Sample Rate Converter
The 9061 AES inputs have sample rate converters that can be independently
enabled for each AES pair to allow the card to interface with asynchronous
AES sources (sources in which AES timing does not match the video input
timing). The sample rate converters are set to disabled (bypassed) by default;
this is necessary when embedding non-PCM AES audio such as Dolby
®
Dolby
Digital au dio streams. When a valid Dolby® E or Dolby® Digital
signal (in accordance with SMPTE 337M) is detected on an AES or
embedded audio signal, SRC is automatically bypassed along with gain and
polarity controls.
Zero-Delay Audio Embedding
®
E or
In cases where additiona l delay must be avoided, it may be desirable to e mbed
AES with minimum latency. For example if Dolby
®
E is to be embedded into
video with no latency, additional delay may not be t olerable. Usin g zero-delay
embedding, the video can then be delayed by one frame to account for the
Dolby E encoding delay. In this manner, any delay between video and audio
can be cleanly contained within one frame period.
When zero-delay audio emb edding is en abled for a give n AES pair , th e pair is
directly embedded int o its corres ponding group (for example , AES Pair 1 in to
embedded channels 1 an d 2; AES Pai r 2 int o embedde d channe ls 3 an d 4, a nd
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-delay audio embedding is set to Off by default.
Low-Latency AES Passthrough
This function is similar to zero-delay audio embedding. 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.

Embedded Audio The 9061 supports all four groups (16 channels) of embedded audio at
full 24-bit resolution in both SD (with extended data packets) and HD.
Analog Audio The 9061 supports 8 channels of balanced (differential) analog audio.
The analog audio is encoded such that a +24 dBu input is equivalent to
digital 0 dB F S.
Discrete AES Audio Input The 9061 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 9061 does not support AES input at 32 kHz,
44.1 kHz, 96 kHz or 192 kHz rates.
Discrete AES Audio Output The 9061 can provide 16 channels (8 pairs) of discrete AES audio on
75Ω BNC connections.
(1) All rates displayed as frame rates; interlaced (“i”) field rates are two times the rate value shown.
(2) Not supported as analog video input formats.
