Introduction 9066 Functional Description

9066 Functional Description

Figure 1-1 shows a functional block diagram of the 9066. The 9066 upconverter also includes a full 16-channel audio embedder/de-embedder, 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 9066 also handles AFD code detection and processing, timecode support, closed captioning support, and transfer of Dolby

As such, the 9066 is highly suited as a universal SD-to-HD input processing card with comprehensive audio and video support. The video source can be either an SD-SDI input or a SD analog video input. The up-converted video aspect ratio can be corrected to provide proper output aspect.

Video Processor Description

The 9066 features a scaler that provides up-conversion using de-interlacing and motion adaptation for high quality up-conversions. The scaler also provides user-adjustable aspect ratio control and zoom control.

The 9066 video subsystem also provides the functions described below.

Video Processor

The 9066 provides full color processing control (luma gain and lift, chroma saturation, and color phase) of the output video.

Frame Sync Function

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 6 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).

9066-OM (V4.5) 9066 PRODUCT MANUAL 1-7

Scaler Function

The scaler function provides up-conversion from standard SD formats. It provides up-conversion to multiple frame rates, film frame rates, and up-conversion to interlaced and progressive formats. Table 1-1 lists the 9066 conversion choices available for various input formats and frame rates.

Table 1-1 Scaler Function Conversions

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 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 3-2 reverse pulldown when converting video to film rates.

5. “NTSC” and “PAL” in this manual informally denote 486i5994 and 575i50 SD-SDI video formats, respectively.

When output video is set to 720p, the 720p output can be converted to 720p half-rate formats as li st ed i n Table 1- 1. Whe n out put vide o is se t to 1080 film (1080p23.98), the 9066 can convert the output to 1080PsF23.98 (segmented frame progressive).

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-de fin ed H and V aspect ratio control. “Follow AFD Settings” se ts the output aspect ratio to track with AFD (Active Format Description) settings embedded in the received video signal.

In this manner , ti mecode dat a can b e prese rved, ev en a fter for mat c onvers ion. The function can monitor bot h the anal og and SDI video inputs of the car d for supported timecode formats, and then select and prioritize among analog VITC, SDI VITC, SDI ATC_VIT C, SDI ATC_L TC, and audi o LTC timecode sources. Audio LTC can be received over a selected balanced analog audio input, or as digital audio over a selected embedded or AES input. If the preferred format is detected, the preferred format is used by the card; if the preferred format is no t det ected, th e card uses oth er fo rmats ( where avai labl e) as desired.

The function also provi des conv ersio n bet ween var ious t imecode format s and provides independent insertion and line number controls for each SDI timecode output format.

Introduction 9066 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 nne ls ( 16 embedded AES, 16 discrete AES) can receive signal from any one of the 40 (16 embedded AES, 16 discrete AES, 8 analog) input channels, four internal tone generators, or several mixer outputs. Unused output channels can be mapped to a “Silence” source . Ea ch out put al so 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 9066.) 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 1-3. 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 9066 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 9066 card.

AES OUT (1-4) are available as dedicated outputs

Tone Generator Function

The 9066 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 ce s f or t he embedded or AES audio outputs.

18 discrete sine wave frequencies are a vailable, ranging from 50 Hz to 16 kHz (default frequency is 1.0 kHz).

Audio Routing Example

Figure 1-7 shows an example of using the 9066 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 and internal tone generator sources can be embedded into the SDI output (in this exampl e, a provis ion for local station ID voi ce-over analog and a tone).

Note that the source and destination correlations shown here are only examples; any source can route to any destination.

AES Audio Input Advanced Features

AES Sample Rate Converter

The 9066 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 to lerable. 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.

• Installing the 9066 Into a Frame Slot (p. 2-2)

• Installing a Rear I/O Module (p. 2-4)

• Setting Up 9066 Network Remote Control (p. 2-10)

Setting I/O Switches for AES I/O (1-4) Ports

Note: This procedure is applicable only if any of the four AES I/O (1-4) ports on the

9066 are to be used as outputs (the switches are set to input mode by factory default). The 9066 is equipped with a four-section red DIP switch that sets AES pairs 1 thru 4 as either inputs or outputs. The factory default position is the input position for each pair.

• If all of the AES I/O (1-4) ports are to be used as inputs (or not used at all), omit this procedure.

• If any of the AES I/O (1-4) ports are to be used as outputs, set the switches as described in this procedure.

Note switch S11 thru S14 settings for AES I/O 1 thru AES I/O 4 mode shown in Figure 2-1. For p ort to be used as an output, set switch to down position as shown in Figure 2-1.

Note: Regardless of S11 thru S14 settings for AES I/O 1 thru AES I/O 4, outputs

Installation and Setup Installing the 9066 Into a Frame Slot

Note: • If installing the 9066 in a slot already equipped with a suitable I/O

module, proceed to card installation steps below.

• If installing the 9066 in an 8321 frame, or in a slot with no rear I/O module, a Rear I/O Module is required before cabling can be connected. Refer

to Installing a Rear I/O Module (p. 2-4) for rear I/O module installation procedure.

CAUTION

Note: Check the packaging in which the 9066 was shipped for any extra items such

as a Rear I/O Module connection label. In some cases, this label is shipped with the card and to be installed on the Rear I/O connector bank corresponding to the slot location of the card.

Install the 9066 into a frame slot as follows:

1. Determine the slot in which the 9066 is to be installed.

2. Open the frame front access panel.

3. While holding the card by the card edges, align the card such that the

plastic ejector tab is on the bottom.

4. Align the card with the top and bottom guides of the slot in which the

card is being installed.

5. Gradually slide the card into the slot. When resistance is noticed, gently

continue pushing the card until its rear printed circuit edge terminals engage fully into the rear I/O module mating connector.

CAUTION

If card resists fully engaging in rear I/O module mating connector, check for alignment and proper insertion in slot tracks. Damage to card and/or rear I/O module may occur if improper card insertion is attempted.

Verify that the card is fully engaged in rear I/O module mating connector.

7. Close the frame front access panel.

8. Connect the input and output cables as follows:

• If the 9066 is being installed in a PN 8310-BNC or 8310-C-BNC

frame, refer to the label on the connector bank corresponding to the card’s slot location for connector designations.

• If the 9066 is being installed in a frame using a specific 9066 Rear

I/O Module, connect cabling in accordance with the appropriate diagram shown in Table 2-1, “9066 Rear I/O Modules” (p. 2-6).

9. Repeat steps 1 through 8 for other 9066 cards.

Note: External frame sync reference signals are received by the card over a refer-

ence bus on the card frame, and not on any card rear I/O module connectors. The frame has BNC connectors labeled REF 1 and REF 2 which receive the reference signal from an external source such as a house distribution.

Note: The 9066 BNC inputs are internally 75-ohm terminated. It is not necessary to

terminate unused BNC inputs or outputs.

Note: To remove a card, press down on the ejector tab to unseat the card from the

rear I/O module mating connector. Evenly draw the card from its slot.

10. If network rem ote control is to be used for the fram e and the frame has

not yet been set up for remote control, perform setup in accordance with Setting Up 9066 Network Remote Control (p. 2-10).

Note: If installing a card in a frame already equipped for, and connected to

DashBoard™, no network setup is required for the card. The card will be discovered by DashBo ard™ and be ready for use.

Installing a Rear I/O Module

Note: This procedure is applicable only if a Rear I/O Module is not currently

installed in the slot where the 9066 is to be installed.

If installing the 9066 in a slot already equipped with a suitable I/O module, omit this procedure.

The full assortment of 9066 Rear I/O Modules is shown and described in 9066 Rear I/O Modules (p. 2-6). Install a Rear I/O Module as follows:

1. On the frame, determine the slot in which the 9066 is to be installed.

2. In the mounting area corresponding to the slot location, install

Rear I/O Module as shown in Figure 2-2.

Control and Display Descriptions

This secti on describes the user interface controls, indicators, and displays for using the 9066 card. The 9066 function s can be acces sed and contr olle d using any of the user interfaces described here.

The format in which the 9066 functional controls, indicators, and displays appear and are used varies depending on the user interface being used. Regardless of the user interface being used, access to the 9066 functions (and the controls, ind icato rs, an d disp lays r elat ed to a particul ar f uncti on) fo llows a general arrangement of Function Submenus under which related controls can be accessed (as described in Function Submenu/Parameter Submenu Overview below).

Note: DashBoard™ and the Remote Control Panel provide greatly simplified user

interfaces as compared to using the card edge controls. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that DashBoard™ or a Remote Control Panel be used for all card applications other than the most basic cases. Card edge control codes are not included in this manual. If card-edge control is to be used, obtain a copy of “Manual Supplement – Card-Edge Control Reference Master List and Instructions for Using Compass Codes” (989CEC-MS.pdf) at www.cobaltdigital.com>Support>Documents>Reference Guides.

Cobalt® Remote Control Panel User Interfaces

(See Figure 3-3.) Similar to the function submenu tabs using DashBoard™, the Remote Control Panels have a Select Submenu key that is used to dis play a list of function submenus. From this list, a control knob on the Control Panel is used to select a function from the list of displayed function submenu items.

When the desired function submenu is selected, each parametric control or selection list item associated with the function is displayed. Scalar (numeric) parametric values can then be adjusted as desired using the control knobs, which acts like a potentiometer. Items in a list can then be selected using the control knobs which correspondingly acts like a rotary switch. (In this manner, t he se ttin g effected using controls and selec tion l ists disp layed on the Control Panel are comparable to the submenu items accessed and committed using the 9066 card edge controls.)

Note: Default zoom percentages use the following rules:

• The default zoom percentages displayed when this function is accessed are the default percentages corresponding to the respective AFD standard ratio definitions (for example, default horizontal and vertical zoom percentages for 4:3 ratios are correspondingly 133% and 100%, yielding a 4:3 aspect ratio). In these cases, the null values for this definition are the default values shown.

• In cases where a different aspect ratio is to be used for a given

received aspect ratio, the default ratio displayed is the null value that results (assuming no H or V zoom modification). For example, for a 16:9 signal and settings set for a 1111 (15 ) AFD code (“16:9 with 4:3 protected image”), the respective displayed default H and V zoom settings of 100% and 75% protect the Protected Image Area.

individual H Zoom and V Zoom tools described above. Note: • The default AFD codes displayed when this function is accessed

show the SMPTE AFD code most closely reflecting the aspect ratio when the corresponding default settings are applied.

• An AFD Output Code setting has no effect on aspect on ARC performed by this card; it merely applies a selected AFD code to the output video.

•

In this example, if a “0011” AFD code is received, the entered

H Zoom and V Zoom values corresponding to AFD code 0011 are applied to the image (133.0% and 100.0%, respectively, in this example). The H Zoom and V Zoom values for any AFD code can be changed as desired. When the card Scaler Aspect Ratio Conversion is set to Follow AFD Settings, the H and V zoom values set here are applied to the output video.

In this example, with the AFD Output Code drop-down set to 1000, if a 0011 code is received on the input, an AFD code of 1000 is ouputted by the card. (Note that the assigned output code has no effect on ARC performed within this card.)

Note: When an external framesync reference is used, the card will not

To apply an offset/framesync reset within this window, first apply a relatively large offset, then apply the target smaller offset.

Example: T o apply a 1-period offset, first apply a 10-period positive offset and then apply a 9-period negative offset. This results in the target 1-period offset being applied to the output video.

progressively applied by the card to provide a seamless, glitch-free retiming. However, delay offset values exceeding 1-1/2 frames may result in a slight audio discontinuity at the moment when the offset is applied using this control if the Audio Hard Resync Threshold control is not at a setting greater than the delay offset.

To prevent this condition during an on-air manipulation, it is

recommended that the Audio Hard Resync Threshold control be set high enough such that expected delay offsets exceeding 1-1/2 frames are progressively applied.

Note: If using Audio Offset control to perform off-air co rrections, i t i s

recommended to temporarily set the Audio Hard Resync Threshold control to its minimum setting, thereby allowing the offset to be assessed and corrected as fast as possible.

(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 ATC_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 timecode data into the output video.

Note: • 2.0-to-5.1 upmixer function is an optional licensable feature. This function and its controls appear only when a license

key is entered and activated. Refer to Licensable Features function description on page 3-54 for more information.

• Channel sources used by the upmixer are post-processed signals received from the Audio Routing/Gain Control function. When active, the channel selections made using this function are directly embedded in the output SDI or AES discrete pairs. Refer to 2.0-to-5.1 Upmix Function (p. 1-13) in Chapter 1, “Introduction” for detailed functional description and signal flow.

• For any six channels selected for this function, the Left and Right channel selections always serve as the stereo input pair.

• If detected signal level on all four of the selected channels

designated as Center, LFE, Left Surround , and Right Surround are below the level threshold set using the 5.1 Detection Threshold control, upmixer overwrites all six selected channels with the new 5.1 content generated by the upmixer.

• If detected signal level on any of the four of the selected channels

designated as Center, LFE, Left Surround , and Right Surround is above the level threshold set using the 5.1 Detection Threshold control, upmixer is bypassed and the original channels pass unaffected.

• Always Upmix: Manual enable turns on upmixer and overwrites content on all six selected channels with new 5.1 content generated by the upmixer regardless of original signal level or content.

• Bypass: Manual disable bypasses the upmixer. When bypassed, the six embedded audio channels pass unaffected.

• Up Mixer Status Display Shows activity status of upmixer processing as follows:

• Auto Mode - Currently Upmixing: With upmixer enable set to Auto, indicates selected channels designated as Center, LFE, Left Surround, and Right Surround are clear for use (as described

above); upmixer is currently up-mixing received stereo pair and overwriting the six selected channels with new 5.1 upmix.

• Auto Mode - Currently Bypassed: With upmixer enable set to Auto, indicates selected channels designated as Center, LFE, Left Surround, and Right Surround have content (such as existing

original 5.1 or other content); upmixer is bypassed (disabled) and allows normal passage of six selected channels.

• Upmixing: Indicates upmixer is manually enabled (set to Always Upmix) and is currently up-mixing received stereo pair and overwriting the six selected channels with new 5.1 upmix.

• Bypassed: Indicates upmixer is manually disabled (set to Bypass) and is currently passing all selected channels unaffected.

• Auto Crossfade Speed Controls Individual controls select the relative crossfade transition speed between Upmix to Bypass (going to inactive; from 5.1 to 2.0) and Bypass to Upmix (going to active; from 2.0 to 5.1) when upmixer enable is set to Auto and the active threshold (as set by the 5.1 Detection Threshold control) is crossed in either direction.

To suit program material and production aesthetic preferences, several choices are available as shown to the left. Slower settings allow for a more gradual transition between modes, however with a longer interval before levels stabilize. Faster settings conversely allow for a smaller interval before levels stabilize, however with greater perceived abruptness.

• 5.1 Detection Threshold Control Adjusts the threshold at which selected channels designated as C, LFE, Ls, and Rs are considered to have viable content, or at which signal levels can be considered insignificant when upmixer enable is set to Auto. Setting affects automatic enable/bypass of 5.1 upmix function as follows:

• If detected signal level on all four of the selected channels designated

as Center, LFE, Left Surround, and Right Surround are below the level threshold set using the 5.1 Detection Threshold control, upmixer allows overwrite of all six selected channels with the new 5.1 signal complement.

• If detected signal level on any of the four of the selected channels

designated as Center, LFE, Left Surround, and Right Surround is above the level threshold set using the 5.1 Detection Threshold control, upmixer is bypassed, thereby releasing the selected six channels and allowing the original channels to pass unaffected.

(Range is -150 dB to 0 dB in 0.1dB steps;

0 dB equivalent to +24 dBu=> 0 dBFS)

nuisance levels considerably below the threshold ( , left) are rejected, allowing the upmixer to stay locked in the enabled mode and overwrite these signals with the new signals.

Optimum setting is dependent on program material general overall levels. A -60 dB setting is

recommended for material closely adhering to the SMPTE -20 dBFS Alignment level for normal material such as dialog.

• Center Width Control

Adjusts center channel content (in terms of percentage) applied to L and R channels.

• Minimum setting keeps all L+R (mono) content confined to center (C)

channel, with any center channel content removed from L and R channels.

• Higher settings progressively blend respective L and R mono content

back into L and R channels, with 100% setting resulting in center channel level going to zero and L/R channels becoming normal L/R channels containing some mono content.

(0% to 100% range in 0.1% steps; default = 0%)

• Surround Depth Control

Adjusts surround channel content (in terms of percentage) applied to Ls and Rs channels.

• Maximum setting results in greatest surround channel levels.

• Lower settings progressively diminish surround channel levels, with 0%

Event-based loading is particularly useful in providing automated card setup when transitioning to and from an SDI stream and an analog stream as shown in the example below.

Separate drop-downs to automatically engage a preset for conditions in which the card locks onto an SDI video input or an analog video input.

Note: • None setting (default) for both drop-downs should be used if this

feature is not desired.

• Perform initial setup with no input applied to the card. Having an input applied can result in inadvertently invoking a preset before intended.

• Go-to preset settings set here must be included in both called presets (e.g., if drop-downs here are set to 1 and 2, the setting here must be identically replicated in both called Presets 1 and 2. See instructions and example below.

As described in Presets (p. 3-54), card control settings can be set up for expected input formats and saved to presets on the Presets tab. (In this example, Preset 3 can be set for embedded audio processing as expected on an SDI stream being received; Preset 4 can conversely be set for analog audio embedding as expected on an analog stream being received. Any card control settings can be included in the called presets as desired.)

With the event-based loading set as shown here, the presets saved are invoked upon receiving SDI or analog input in the absence of the alternate input choice.

Set up Advanced Setup as follows:

1. Make sure card is initially receiving no video inputs.

2. Make certain Video Signal Controls tab is set to accept both SDI and Analog video inputs. Also make certain analog input type controls are set for expected analog video type.

3. Select preset numbers to serve for “SDI preset” and “Analog Preset”

(3 and 4, respectively, in this example). In card DashBoard tabs, set controls as desired first for “SDI Preset” (Preset 3 in this example) and then “Analog Preset” (Preset 4 in this example). Save each preset. Make certain the Advanced Setup settings are identically included in both presets before saving the presets (for example as shown here, if Presets 3 and 4 are to called, make sure this tab “calls” presets 3 and 4 identically).

4. Apply signal to the card as desired and manually set desired

corresponding preset.
