Audio Processor Description

(See Figure 1-2.) 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 (9321, 9323 only)

• 8 channels of balanced analog audio input (9321, 9323 only)

• Four independent internal tone generators (described below)

• Digital silence (mute) setting

• Internal down mix and mono mixer outputs (described below)

• (+DEC only) Decoded Dolby

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 (9322, 9323

only)

channels

The router acts as a full audio cross point. Each of the output channels can receive signal from any one of the input channel sources, four internal tone generators, or the Down Mix Left and/or the Down Mix- Rig ht mixer outputs. Unused output channels can be mapped to a “Silence” source. Each output also provides gain adjustment and selectable polarity inversion.

(+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 card.) 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 1-4, the 9322 and 9323 are 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 cated outputs and as respective outputs fed through S11 – S14 on the card.

If your card was purchased with option +LP, loudness processor manual supplement “5.1 and Stereo Loudness Processing Options for Compass

Cards (+LP51, +LP20) Manual Supplement” (OPT-SW-LP-MS) is included in your documentation package. Supplement OPT-SW-LP-MS can be downloaded from our website or requested using the Cobalt contact information in this manual.

Tone Generator Function

The card 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 source 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 1-8 shows an example of using the 9323 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.

AES Sample Rate Converter

The card 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 undecoded, non-PCM audio such as

Dolby Dolby

E or Dolby® Digital™ audio streams. When a valid Dolby® E or

Digital™ signal (in acco rdance with SMPTE 337M) is detect ed on an AES or embedded audio signal, SRC is automatically bypassed along with gain and polarity controls.

Introduction 932X Functional Description

Zero-Delay Audio Embedding

In cases where additiona l delay must be avoided, it may be desirable to e mbed AES with minimum latency. Using zero-delay embedding, the video can then be delayed by one frame to account for any remaining audio delay. In this manner, any delay between video and audio can be cleanly contained and managed 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.

Dolby® Decoding Option (+DEC)

Note: Although the +DEC Dolby® decoder-equipped cards can provide Dolby® Digi-

tal™ (AC-3) decoding, discussion and examples here describe only Dolby decoding.

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 (according to the Dolby resulting channels are available as inputs to the audio router.

(See Figure 1-9.) All AES pairs and embedded channels are checked by the +DEC card 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 “Present Dolby E” or “Present Dolby Digital”, as applicable. (The decoder always uses the metadata associated with its respective AES or embedded pair.) A selected encoded channel pair can then be directed to the

Dolby

decoder. The decoder then displays the Dolby® bitstream format and program 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 +DEC card can embed metadata on the SDI output, sourced from either SDI input video or from the decoder as desired. Similarly, the

DOLBY META

output can provide RS-485 metadata for downstream devices or systems. Metadata on the

DOLBY ME TA RS-485 output can also be sourced from either

SDI input video or from the decoder as desired.

Introduction 932X Functional Description

932X Rear I/O Modules

The 932x cards physically interface to system video and audio connections using a Rear I/O Module. Figure 1-11 shows typical Rear I/O Modules.

All inputs and outputs shown in the 932X Functional Block Diagram (Figure 1-2) enter and exit the card via the card edge backplane connector. The Rear I/O Module breaks out the card edge connections to industry standard connections that interface with other components and systems 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 tha t b est sui ts 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 Rear I/O Modules is shown and described in 923X Group Rear I/O Modules (p. 2-5) in Chapter 2, “Installation and Setup”.

Phoenix terminal block connectors for 3-wire and 2-wire terminations

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 9323 cards in slots 1 and 2, the right column serves 9323, slot 1 and the left column serves 9323, slot 2.

In this example, an RM-9323-G Rear I/O Module provides a connection interface for the signal types shown here.

BNC connectors for coaxial video and AES audio 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-9323-A/S shown here accommodates the signal complement shown for two adjacent 9323 cards. (Split modules are identified by “/S” in the part number.)

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

card are to be used as outputs (the switches are set to input mode by factory default). The card 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 Card Into a Frame Slot

CAUTION

Note: Check the card packaging for 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 card into a frame slot as follows:

1. Determine the slot in which the card 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.

6. 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 card 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 card is being installed in a fr ame using a specifi c 932X Rear I/O

Module, connect cabling in accordance with the appropriate diagram shown in Table 2-1, “932X Rear I/O Modules” (p. 2-5).

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

Note: The card 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 remote 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 Card Network Remote Control (p. 2-20).

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 DashBoard™ and be ready for use.

Control and Display Descriptions

This secti on describes the user interface co ntrols, indicators, and displays (both on-card and remote controls) for using the 932X group cards. The card functions can be accessed and controlled using any of the user interfaces described here.

The format in which the card 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 card 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 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 parameters available on the card are organized into function submenus, which consist of parameter groups as shown below.

Figure 3-1 shows how the card and its submenus are organized, 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 card is first selected.

Submenu a Submenu b

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.

DashBoard™ User Interface

(See Figure 3-2.) The card function submenus are organized in DashBoard™ 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. (In this manner, the setting effected using controls and selection lists displayed in DashBoard™ are comparable to the submenu items accessed and committed using the card edge controls.)

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 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 act like a potentiometer. Items in a list can then be selected using the control knobs which correspondingly act like a rotary switch.

Note: Refer to “OGCP-9000 Remote Control Panel User Manual” (PN

OGCP-9000-OM) or “OGCP-9000/CC Remote Control Panel User Manual” (PN OGCP-9000/CC-OM) for complete instructions on using the Control Panels.

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 LTC and RS-485 LTC controls described below only appear on cards with +LTC licensed optional

feature. This feature allows bidirectional conversion between VBI-based timecode and LTC timecode on audio and RS-485 interfaces.

• Timecode Source Status Displays Displays the current status and contents of the supported timecode formats shown to the left.

• If a format is receiving timecode data, the current content (timecode running count and line number) is displayed.

• If a format is not receiving timecode data, Unlocked is displayed.

• If Audio LTC is being received, the timecode running count is

displayed.

• Audio LTC Source selects audio source to be used by card audio LTC function as listed below.

• Emb Ch 1 thru Ch 16

• AES Ch 1 thru Ch 16

• Analog audio Ch 1 thru Ch 8

Note: Audio LTC Source must be appropriately set for card to

receive and process audio LTC. De-embed only card (9322) has only Emb Ch 1 thru Emb Ch 16 for selection choice.

• Incoming ATC Packet Removal Control Enables or disables removal of existing input video ATC timecode packet s from the output. This allows removal of undesired existing timecodes from the output, resulting in a “clean slate” where only desired timecodes are then re-inserted into the output. (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.)

• Source Priority As described here, provides 4-level prioritization of timecode format choices from choices shown to the left.

Source Priority 1 thru Source Priority 4 select the preferred format to be used in descending order (i.e., Source Priority 2 selects the second-most preferred format, and so on. See example below.)

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 3-40 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. 1-11) in Chapter 1, “Introduction” for detailed functional description and signal flow.

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)

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.

932X Group Card Edge Status/Error Indicators and Display

Figure 3-7 shows and describes the card edge status indicators and display. These indicators and the display show status and error conditions relating to the card itself and remote (network) communications (where applicable). Because these indicators are part of the card itself and require no external interface, the i ndicators a re particular ly useful i n the event of communicati ons problems with external devices such as network remote control devices.

DashBoard™ Status/Error Indicators and Displays

Figure 3-8 shows and describes the DashBoard™ status indicators and displays. These indicator icons and displays show status and error conditions relating to the 932X group card it sel f and remot e (net wor k) 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 9321 card in slot 6).

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

If the 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 9321 card in slot 6 and the 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 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 Card Info pane shows error alert, along with cause for alert (in this example, the card is receiving no video input, or a video input that is invalid for the card and/or its current settings).

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.

• On both the frame Network Controller Card and the ca rd, in all c ases whe n power 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 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 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 card may be defective.

Make certain all ca ble conne ctions are fu lly secure (includin g coaxial cable att achment 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.
