Chapter 2 Installation and Setup

This chapter contains the following information:

• Setting I/O Switches for AES I/O (1-4) Ports (p. 2-1)

• Installing the 9083 Into a Frame Slot (p. 2-2)

• Installing a Rear I/O Module (p. 2-5)

• Setting Up 9083 Network Remote Control (p. 2-12)

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

9083 are to be used as outputs (the switches are set to input mode by factory default). The 9083 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

AES OUT (1-8) are still available on cards equipped with a Rear I/O Module

having dedicated AE S OUT (1-8) BNC connectors.

Installation and Setup Installing the 9083 Into a Frame Slot

Note: • If installing the 9083 in a slot already equipped with a suitable I/O

module, proceed to card installation steps below.

• If installing the 9083 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. 2-5) for rear I/O module installation procedure.

CAUTION

Note: Check the packaging in which the 9083 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 9083 into a frame slot as follows:

1. Determine the slot in which the 9083 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 9083 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 9083 is being installed in a frame using a specific 9083 Rear

I/O Module, connect cabling in accordance with the appropriate diagram shown in Table 2-1, “9083 Rear I/O Modules” (p. 2-6).

9. Repeat steps 1 through 8 for other 9083 cards.

9083-OM (V4.5) 9083 PRODUCT MANUAL 2-3

2 Installing the 9083 Into a Frame Slot

Note: The 9083 BNC inputs are internally 75-ohm terminated. It is not necessary to

terminate unused BNC inputs or outputs.

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: 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 Cobalt

(PN 9000RCS-RM).

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.

Control and Display Descriptions

This secti on describes the user interface controls, indicators, and displays for using the 9083 card. The 9083 function s can be acces sed and contr olle d using any of the user interfaces described here.

The format in which the 9083 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 9083 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.

Note: When a setting is changed, settings displayed on DashBoard™ (or a Remote

Control Panel) are the settings as effected by the 9083 card itself and reported back to the remote control; the value displayed at any time is the actual value as set on the card.

Function Submenu/Parameter Submenu Overview

The functions and related pa rameters avai lable on the 9083 car d are organ ized into function submenus, which consist of parameter groups as shown below.

Figure 3-1 shows how the 9083 card an d its submenus ar e orga nized, and also provides an overview of how navig ation is performed be tween cards, func tion submenus, and parameters.

If using DashBoard™ or a Remote Control Panel, the desired 9083 card is first selected.

Individual Parameters

Each submenu consists of groups of parameters related to the function submenu. Using the “Video Proc” function submenu example, the individual parameters for this function consist of various v ideo processor parameters such as Luma Gain, Saturation, and so on.

(See Figure 3-2.) Th e 9083 fu nction submenus are or gani zed i n DashBoa rd™ using tabs. When a tab 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 GUI slider controls. Items in a list can then be selected using GUI drop-down lists.

(See Figure 3-3.) Similar to the function submenu tabs using DashBoard™, the Remote Control Panels have a Select Submenu key that is used t o dis pla y 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 co ntr ols a nd sel ecti on li sts di splay ed on t he Control Panel are comparable to the submenu items accessed and committed using the 9083 card edge controls.)

Figure 3-3 shows accessing a function submenu and its parameters (in this example, “Video Proc”) using the Control Panel as compared to using the card edge controls.

Video Proc function (among others) is accessed using the Control Panel Select Submenu key. Video Proc function is selected from the list of functions (submenu items)

When the Video Proc function submenu is selected, its related parameters are now displayed.

In this example, Color Gain (saturation) is adjusted using the control knob adjacent to

audio dropouts will occur.

Note: AES audio must be nominally 48 kHz.

• Disable Off: In this mode, AES SRC for the corresponding AES input pair is enabled (button in out position). SRC enabled allows the 9083 to interface with asynchronous AES sources (sources in which the AES timing does not match the video reference timing). SRC can be used to compensate for minor clock rate differences in the AES stream and the input video stream.

Note: • If Input Video is used for framesync, any timing instability

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

produce a framesync reset until the variance between framesync reference and output video exceeds ± 2 clock periods. Therefore, a framesync reset will not result if offsets within this window are applied.

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.

When Framesync is enabled, specifies the smallest amount of latency allowed by the frame sync (latency measurement in output video frames). The frame sync will not output a frame unless the specified number of frames are captured in the buffer. The operational latency of the frame

sync is always between the specified minimum latency and minimum latency plus one fra m e (not one field).

• Audio Hard Resync Threshold Control Sets threshold at which hard resync is applied if audio-video offset

With offset less than selected hard resync threshold, resync is progressively applied in many small steps to provide a seamless, glitch-free retiming. After the successive steps, the audio is synchronized with the video (in this example, 40 msec). (Progressive correction is applied at 1 msec/sec appr. rate.)

(Range is 1.5 to 13.0 frames in 0.1 frame increments)

In this example, initial offset of 200 msec (appr. 6 frames) is below 9 frame threshold and results in soft resync being progressively applied.

In this example, initial offset of 400 msec (appr. 12 frames) is above 9 frame threshold and results in immediate hard resync.

(-575.0 msec to 575.0 msec range; null = 0.0 msec) Note: Delay offset values of less than approximately 1 frame are

progressively applied by the card to provide a seamless, glitch-free retiming. However, delay off set values exceeding 1-1/2 f rames 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 corrections, it is

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.

• Up Mixer Mode Control Enables or bypasses upmixer as follows:

• Auto: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 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)

Typically, the 5.1 Detection Threshold control should be set to provide a usable threshold that maintains a threshold at which valid levels large enough over the threshold disable the auto upmix ( , left), while

- 20 dBFS

- 60 dBFS

Above Threshold

(Bypass)

Below Threshold

(Overwrite)

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%

setting resulting in no Ls or Rs level, with Ls and Rs content progressively folded back into L and R, respectively.

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

Troubleshooting

This section provides general troubleshooting information and specific symptom/corrective action for the 9083 card and its remote control interface. The 9083 card requires no periodic maintenance in its normal operation; if any error indication (as described in this section) occurs, use this section to correct the condition.

Error and Failure Indicator Overview

The 9083 card itself and its remote control systems all (to varying degrees) provide error and failure indications. Depending on how the 9083 card is being used (i.e, standalone or network controlled through DashBoard™ or a Remote Control Panel), che ck all avai lable indi cations in the event of an error or failure condition.

The various 9083 card and remote control error and failure indicators are individually described below.

Note: The descriptions below provide general information for the various status and

error indicators. For specific failures, also use the appropriate subsection listed below.

DashBoard™ Status/Error Indicators and Displays

Figure 3-9 shows and describes the DashBoard™ status indicators and displays. These indicator icons and displays show status and error conditions relating to the 9083 card itself and remote (network) communications.

Indicator Icon or Display Error Description

Red indicator icon in Card Access/Navigation Tree pane shows card with Error condition (in this example, the Card Access/Navigation Tree pane shows a general error issued by the 9083 card in slot 6).

Specific errors are displayed in the Card Info pane (in this example “No connection to device” indicating 9083 card is not connecting to frame/LAN).

If the 9083 card is not connecting to the frame or LAN, all controls are grayed-out (as shown in the example here).

Gray indicator icon in Card Access/Navigation Tree pane shows card(s) are not being seen by DashBoard™ due to lack of connection to frame LAN (in this example, both a 9083 card in slot 6 and the MFC-8320-N Network Controller Card for its frame in slot 0 are not being seen).

Yellow indicator icon in Card Access/Navigation Tree pane shows card with Alert condition (in this example, the Card Access/Navigation Tree pane shows a general alert issued by the MFC-8320-N Network Controller Card).

Clicking the card slot position in the Card Access/Navigation Tree (in this example Network Controller Card “Slot 0: MFC-8320-N”) opens the Card Info pane for the selected card. In this example, a “Fan Door Open” specific error is displayed.

Yellow indicator icon in 9083 Card Info pane shows error alert, along with cause for alert (in this example, the 9083 is receiving no video input, or a video input that is invalid for the card and/or its current settings).

Where available, error messages within a function submenu pane show highly specific information relating to detected errors (in this example, message shows an invalid or missing Framesync Enable reference selection).

3 Troubleshooting

Basic Troubleshooting Checks

Failures of a general nature (affecting many cards 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 both the frame Network Contro ller Card and t he 9083, in all cases when po wer is being properly supplied there is always at least one indicator illuminated. Any card showing no illuminated indicators should be cause for concern.

• Check the Power Consumed indications for both the +12 V and -7.5 V supply rails for the 9083 card. This can be observed using the DashBoard™ Card Info pane, or using the card edge controls and indicators as shown in Figure 3-4 on page 3-7.

• If either of the rail supplies show no power being consumed, either the frame power supply, connections, or the 9083 card itself is defective.

• If either of the rail supplies show excessive power being consumed (see Technical Specifications (p. 1-21) in Chapter 1, “Introduction”), the 9083 card 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 card inputs and/or outputs. Cabling mistakes are especially easy to make when working with large I/O modules.

assure proper seating by ejecting the card and reseating it again.) On both DashBoard™ and the 9083 card edge 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 cards within the frame can be hot-swapped, replacing a suspect card or module with a known-good item.
