Introduction 9086 Functional Description

Video Functions Description

Video Processor

The 9086 provides full color processing control (luma gain and lift, chroma saturation, and color phase) of the output video.

AFD Inserter

This function provides for assignment and insertion of AFD codes into the SDI output video. Using this function, AFD codes in accordance with the standard 4-bit AFD code designations can be applied to the output video.

This function checks for any existing AFD code within the received video input. If a code is present, the code is displayed. When used in conjunction with a separate downstream card capable of providing AFD-directed scaling, the image can in turn b e scaled in accord ance with th e AFD coding embedd ed by this card.

The function also allows the selection/changing of the AFD code and ancillary data line number for the outputted AFD code.

Timecode Processor

(See Figure 1-2.) This fun ct ion provi de s for ext rac ti on of time code data fro m the input video, and in turn re-insertion of timecode data into the output SDI. In this manner, timecode data can be preserved, even aft er fo rmat conv ersi on.

The function can monitor the SDI input for supported timecode formats and then select and prioritize among SDI VITC waveform and SDI ATC_VITC formats (and audio/RS-485 LTC where licensed; see below). If the preferred format is detected, the p referred format is used by the card; if the preferred format is not detected , the card use s other formats (where available) as desired.

The function also provi des con ver sion be tween va rious timecod e fo rmats a nd provides independent insertion and line number controls for each SDI timecode output format.

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 embedded channel.

Audio Processor Description

Figure 1-2 Timecode Processor

The audio processor operates as an internal audio router. The router function chooses from the foll owing inputs:

• 16 channels of embedded audio from the SDI video

• Four independent internal tone generators (described below)

• Digital silence (mute) setting

• Internal Down Mix and Mono Mixer outputs (described below)

• Dolby

decoder baseband out channels

The router function provides the following audio outputs:

• 16 channels of embedded audio on the SDI output

• Stereo loudness-processed embedded pair

1-8 908 6 -S D P RO D U C T MA N UA L 9086-OM (V4.3)

Introduction 9086 Functional Description

The router functi on prov ides up to 16 channels of embedded audio on the SDI

OUT

outputs. The router acts as a full audio cross point. Each of the 16 embedded output channels can receive signal from any one of the 16 embedded input channels, four internal tone 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. (embedded audio must be nominally 48 kHz input; 32, 44.1, 96, and 192 kHz inputs are not compatible with the 9086.) Embedded output audio is always precisely synchronized with the output video.

As set with the default settings, t he routing be tween embedded aud io channels is basic 1-for-1 for the 16 embedded audio channels (with embedded Ch 1 being embedded to embedded Ch 1 at the SDI output, and so on). Other sources and/or destinations for each channel are selected using the card edge controls or a remote control system.

Audio Down Mix and Mono Mix Function

(See Figure 1-3.) The Audio Down Mixer function provides for the selection of any five embedded audio sourc es serving as Left ( Left Surround ( multiplexed into stereo pair Down Mix Left ( (

1 9086 Functional Description

Loudness Processor Function

The loudness processor function receivesa stereo pair from the Audio Routing/Gain Control function (which consists of routed output destination channels Emb Out Ch 1 thru Ch 16) and performs loudne ss processing on the selected channels. A loudness processing profile best suited for the program material can be selected from several loudness processing presets.

Loudness Processing allows selected channels to be applied to the processor Left (

L) and Right ( R) inputs. Whenever the loudness processor is active

(selected by a user control), it overwrites the stereo pair with the new stereo loudness processed signal s.

The example in Figure 1-5 shows routing of post-routing embedded output channels Emb Out Ch 1 and Ch 2 fed through the loudness processor. When any of the card audio input channels are routed to any combination of embedded channel destinations, these channels in turn can be routed through the loudness processor before being sent from the card. A master output gain control is provided which allows fine adjustment of the overall output level.

The Rear I/O Module breaks out the 9086 card edge connections to industry standard connections that interface with other components and systems in the signal chain.

In this manner, the inputs and outputs requ ired for a pa rtic ular appli cati on can be accommodated 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 9086 Rear I/O Modules is shown and described in 9086 Rear I/O Modules (p. 2-4) in Chapter 2, “Installation and Setup”.

Viewed from rear, the right column of BNC connectors accommodates the right-most card, with the left column accommodating the adjacent card to the left.

In this example with two 9086 cards in slots 1 and 2, the right column serves 9086, slot 1 and the left column serves 9086, slot 2.

In this example, an RM-9086-B Rear I/O Module provides a connection interface for the signal types shown here.

Phoenix terminal block connectors for 3-wire terminations

BNC connectors for coaxial video signals

Where a maximum of five BNC connections can suit particular I/O requirements, a “split” Rear I/O Module offers maximum card density within the frame by accommodating two cards using a module occupying no more area than a standard module. The RM-9086-A/S shown here accommodates the signal complement shown for two adjacent 9086 cards. (Split modules are identified by “/S” in the part number.)

Chapter 2 Installation and Setup

Overview

This chapter contains the following information:

• Installing the 9086 Into a Frame Slot (p. 2-1)

• Installing a Rear I/O Module (p. 2-3)

• Setting Up 9086 Network Remote Control (p. 2-6)

Installing the 9086 Into a Frame Slot

Chapter 2

CAUTION

Heat and power distribution requirements within a frame may dictate specific slot placement of cards. Cards with many heat-producing compon ents should be arranged to avoid areas of excess heat build-up, particularly in frames using only convection cooling. The 9086 has a moderate power dissipation (15 W max.). As such, avoiding placing the card adjacent to other cards with similar dissipation values if possible.

CAUTION

This device contains semiconductor devices which are susceptible to serious damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). ESD damage may not be immediately apparent and can affect the long-term reliability of the device.

Avoid handling circuit boards in high static environments such as carpeted areas, and when wearing synthetic fiber clothing. Always use proper ESD handling precautions and equipment when working on circuit boards and related equipment.

2 Installing the 9086 Into a Frame Slot

Note: If installing the 9086 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. 2-3) for rear I/O module installation procedure.

CAUTION

Note: Check the packaging in which the 9086 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 should be installed on the Rear I/O connector bank corresponding to the slot location of the card.

Install the 9086 into a frame slot as follows:

1. Determine the slot in which the 9086 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 ca rd into the slot. When resistance is noticed, g ently

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 cabling in accordance with the appropriate diagram shown in

Table 2-1, “9086 Rear I/O Modules” (p. 2-5).

9. Repeat steps 1 through 8 for other 9086 cards.

Note: The 9086 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.
