This device is intended for environmentally controlled use only in appropriate video
terminal equipment operating environments.
This product is intended to be a component product of an openGear® frame. Refer to the
openGear® frame Owner's Manual for important safety instructions regarding the proper
installation and safe operation of the frame as well as its component products.
Heat and power distribution requirements within a frame may dictate specific slot
placement of cards. Cards with many heat-producing components should be arranged to
avoid areas of excess heat build-up, particularly in frames using only convection cooling.
The 9902-2UDX has a moderate power dissipation (<18 W). As such, avoiding placing the
card adjacent to other cards with similar dissipation values if possible.
If required, make certain Rear I/O Module(s) is installed before installing the 9902-2UDX
into the frame slot. Damage to card and/or Rear I/O Module can occur if module
installation is attempted with card already installed in slot.
If card resists fully engaging in rear I/O mod ule mating connec tor, 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.
The 9902-2UDX FPGA is designed for a normal-range operating temperature around 85° C
core temperature. Operation in severe conditions exceeding this limit for non-sustained
usage are within device operating safe parameters, and can be allowed by setting this
control to Disable. However, the disable (override) setting should be avoided under
normal conditions to ensure maximum card protection.

9902-2UDX Functional Description
Figure 1-1 shows a functional block diagram of the 9902-2UDX. The
9902-2UDX dual-channel ca rd prov ide s two inde pendent signa l paths (
and
de-embedding on a single card. The two paths share an input and output SDI
crosspoint to receive and send two discrete SDI inputs and outputs. The
9902-2UDX also include s AES/analo g audio su pport and CVBS video I/O. In
addition to a basic signal presence input failover function, a Quality Check
option allows failover to alternate inputs based on user-configurable
subjective criter ia such as black or froz en f ra me. A movi ng- box i nse rtion can
be enabled to serve as a dy namic ra ster co nfide nce chec k even in case s where
the input video image is static or lost.
The 9902-2UDX also provides timecode/closed-captioning conversion from
packet-based timecode formats and CEA608/708 HD formats to HD ATC,
SD_ATC, and SD VITC waveform-based timecode.
9902-2UDX Input/Output Formats
Path 2) of UDX conversion, frame sync, and audio embedding and
Path 1
The 9902-2UDX provides the following inputs and outputs (which can be
independently used for Path 1 and/or Path 2:
• Inputs:
• 3G/HD/SD SDI IN A thru SDI IN D – four 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs.
SDI IN A or SDI IN B can be s et to failover to A or B in absence of
opposite channel of this pair.
• CVBS IN – CVBS coaxial analog video input.
• AES IN – BNC (AES-3id, 75Ω) ports as AES input (number of
ports dependent on rear I/O module used).
• AN-AUD IN – Four balanced analog a udio embe d inputs.
• Outputs:
• 3G/HD/SD-SDI OUT (1-4) – four 3G/HD/SD-SDI buffered video
outputs. Each output can be independently set as processed output
video or selected input video reclocked.
• AES OUT – BNC (AES-3id, 75Ω) ports as AES outputs (number of
ports dependent on rear I/O module used).
• AN-AUD OUT – Four balanced analog audio de-embed outputs.
• CVBS OUT – CVBS coaxial analog video usable with SD video
streams.
Note: Input select also allows internal connection from one processing path output
to the opposite processing path input. This allows “serial” processing
connections without requiring external jumpering on the card rear I/O module.

Video Processor Description
Note: Unless otherwise noted, the following functions are independently available
for Path 1 and Path 2 processing paths.
The 9902-2UDX video subsystem provides the functions described below.
Input Video Select/Quality Check Functions
Used in common as a routing source for both Path 1/Path 2 is a GUI-based
control that allows the card to select from up to four 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs,
and a SD CVBS analog video input. This function also allows processed
outputs from one path to be routed to the alternate path input. For analog
inputs, waveform-based ancillary data is preserved for extraction and usage
later in the card processing chain.
The input can be selected using DashBoard manual control, set to failover to
an alternate input upon loss of the target input, and can be externally selected
via a GPIO interfac e. An i nput
allows inputs to be filtered (screened) for only user-allowed raster sizes and
frame rates, with unallowed raster/rates being rejected as an input (input
unlock). Reclocked copies of any SDI input can be outputted by the card
when selected as a choice on the output crosspoint.
Allowed Rasters and Allowed Frame Rates filter
(Option +QC). Quali t y Check allows criteria such as black/
frozen frame events to propagate an event alert. This alert can be used by the
card Presets function to invoke input video routing changes, GPO, and other
actions.
Timecode Processor
(See Figure 1-2.) This func ti on provides for extracti on of t imec ode da ta from
input video source, and in turn allow individual timecode strings to be
embedded into the output video. The function can monitor any of the video
inputs of the card for supported timecode formats such as ATC_LTC or
ATC_VITC for down-conversions to HD, and ATC_VITC or VITC
waveform (with selectable odd/even field line number control) for SD SDI or
CVBS inputs. Waveform VITC timecode can also be extracted from a
reference input and used as the output t im ec ode value. If the prefer red format
is detected, the preferred format is used by the card; if the preferred format is
not detected, the card uses other formats (where available) as desired. An
internally-generated free-run timecode can be also be embedded on output
video if 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.

This function p rovide s for fra me s ync co ntrol usin g e ither one of t wo ext ern al
FRAME REF IN (1,2) reference signals distributed with the card frame, selected
input video, or internal timing 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.
Frame sync can select from either of two card frame reference sources, or
free-run input video s ync. Selectable failover allows alternate reference
selection should the initial reference source become unavailable or invalid. In
the event of input video loss of signal, the output can be set to disable video,
go to black, go to an internal test signal generator pattern, or freeze to the last
intact frame (last frame having valid SAV and EAV codes).
An internal test signal generator provides a selection of various standard
patterns such as color bars, sweep patterns, and other technical patterns. The
test patterns can be a pplie d to t he outp ut vide o upon los s of inp ut o r manuall y
inserted at any time.

Audio Processor Description
Note: Path 1 and Path 2 have individual independent digital audio embed and
de-embed banks for each of the processing path’s 16-channels of embedded
audio. The card’s 16 channels of AES embed/de-embed can be allocated
individually to any or either path’s embed or de-embed nodes. Similarly,
four-channel analog audio can be individually allocated across any or either
path’s embed or de-embed nod es .
The audio processor operates as an internal audio router. This function
chooses from the following inputs:
• 16 channels of embedded audio from the SDI video input (default
1-to-1 routing to SDI output)
• Up to 16 channels (8 pairs) of discrete AES input
• Up to 4 channels of balanced analog audio input
1
(See Figure 1-3.) The audio processing subsection is built around a card
internal 16-channel audio bus. This 16-channel bus receives inputs from an
input routing crosspoint that routes de-embedded, and discrete AES and
analog audio inputs, over the 16-channel card bus. Correspondingly, at the
output end of the 16-channel bus is an output routing crosspoint that in turn
distributes the 16-channel bus signals to embedded, and discrete AES and
analog audio outputs.

For both input and output nodes before and after the card internal buses, flex
buses provide flexible-structure mixer in which any of 16 summing nodes
(
Flex Mix Bus A thru Flex Mix Bus P) can receive any card audio input, thereby
allowing several customizable mixing schemes. Similarly, any of the 16 card

Control and Data Input/Output Interfaces
GPI Interface
Two independent ground-closure sensing GPI inputs (GPI 1 and GPI 2; each
sharing common ground connection as chassis potential) are available.
Associated with eac h GPI user contr ol is a sele ction of o ne of 32 user -d efi ned
card presets in which GPI activation invokes a card control preset. Because
the GPI closure invokes a user-defined preset, the resulting setup is highly
flexible and totally user-defined. Invoking a user preset to effect a change
involves card setup communication limited only to the items being changed;
the card remains on-line during the setup, and the called preset is rapidly
applied.
GPI triggering can be user selected to consider the activity on discrete GPI
ports, or combinations of logic states considering both GPI inputs, as well as
be set for le vel or edge t riggering. This flexibility allows multistage,
progressive actions to be invoked if desired. Indication is provided showing
whenever a GPI input has been invoked.
GPO Interface
Two independent phototransistor non-referenced (floating) contact pairs
(
GPO 1/1 and GPO 2/2) are available. A GPO can be in voked by sett ing a GPO
to be enabled when a card preset is in turn applied (i.e., when a preset is
invoked (either manually or via event-based loading), the GPO is
correspondingly also activated.
Serial (COMM) Ports
The 9902-2UDX is equipped with two, 3-wire serial ports (COM 1 - Serial
Port 1, COM 2 - Serial Port 2). The ports provide for SMPTE 2020

Note: Option +SCTE104 is available only for Path1.
Option +SCTE104 provides generation and insertion of SCTE 104 messages

other event action modes. The option can also execute card actions based on
SCTE 104 messages rec eived by the card , as well a s send t riggered SCTE 104
packets to other downstream systems.
The user interface is based on common SCTE 104 operations: Splice Start

Chapter 2 Installation and Setup
Overview
This chapter contains the following information:
• Installing the 9902-2UDX Into a Frame Slot (p. 2-1)
• Installing a Rear I/O Module (p. 2-3)
• Setting Up 9902-2UDX Network Remote Control (p. 2-11)
Installing the 9902-2UDX Into a Frame Slot
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 9902-2UDX has a moderate power
dissipation (<18 W). As such, avoiding placing the card adjacent to other
cards with similar dissipation values if possible.
Chapter 2
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.
Note: If installing the 9902-2UDX 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
If required, make certain Rear I/O Module(s) is installed before installing the
9902-2UDX into the frame slot. Damage to card and/or Rear I/O Module can
occur if module installation is attempted with card already installed in slot.

Control and Display Descriptions
This secti on describes the user interface controls, indicators, and displays for
using the 9902-2UDX card. The 9902-2UDX functions can be accessed and
controlled using any of the user interfaces described here.
The format in which the 9902-2UDX 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 9902-2UDX
functions (and the controls, indicators, and displays related to a particular
function) follows a general arrangement of Function Menus under which
related controls can be accessed (as described in Function Menu/Parameter
Overview below).
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.

Cobalt® Remote Control Panel User Interfaces
(See Figure 3-3.) Similar to the function menu tabs using DashBoard™, the
Remote Control Panels have a Select Submenu key that is used to display a
list of function submenus. From this list, a control knob on the Control Panel
is used to select a function from th e list of displa yed functio n 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 cor respo ndingl y act li ke a r otary switch . (In t his man ner,
the setting effected using co ntr ols and selection lists displayed on t h e Co ntr ol

9902-2UDX Function Menu List and Descriptions
Table 3-2 individually lists and describes each 9902-2UDX function menu
and its rela ted list selections, controls, and parameters. Where helpful,
examples showing usage of a function are also provided. Table 3-2 is
primarily based upon using DashBoard™ to access each function and its
corresponding menus and parameters.
Note: For any DashBoard tabs on card not appearing in this
manual, this indicates the function is an option and covered in a separate
Manual Supplement. Please refer to card web page Product Downloads for
pdf Manual Supplements covering these options.
On DashBoard™ itself and in Table 3-2, the function menu items are
organized using tabs as shown below.
Some functions use sub-tabs to help maintain clarity and organization. In these instances, Table 3-2 shows the
ordinate tab along with its sub-tabs. Highlighted sub-tabs indicate that controls described are found by selecting
this sub-tab (in this example, the Path 1 sub-tab on the Framesync page).
Note that selection of controls from one processing path to another is selected using this sub-tab which appears
on many card function tabs.
The table below provides a quick-reference to the page numbers where each
function menu item can be found.

• Input Vide o S o ur c e /Status Selects the input video source to be applied to the card Path 1 and
Path 2 program video inputs.
Note: • SDI inputs selected must be used with Rear I/O Module
correspondingly equipped with intended input ports.
• Some choices shown are a function of card options.
• Input select also allows internal connection from one
processing path output to the opposite processing path input.
This allows “serial” or cascaded processing connections
without requiring external jumpering on the card rear I/O
module. Serial jumpering can, in addition to other functions,
provide identical program video output streams with a delay
offset between the two streams.
• Care should be taken to make certain an output from a video
path is not applied as an input for the same path. Also, if
framesync Lock to Input else Free Run is selected, the initial
“upstream” path must be selected using Lock to Input Path
control (for example, if Path 1 cascades to Path 2, this control
must be set for Path 1 as lock source).

has been rejected from being passed by card (as described below in
Input SDI Raster Size / Frame Rate Filtering).
Note: Status display shows maximum card input complement. Input
complement is determined by rear I/O module used.
Input SDI Raster Size / Frame Rate Filtering
The controls shown below allow user filtering to exclude selected raster or rate formats from being received by a card input.
Default settings have all raster sizes and frame rates “checked”, thereby providing no filtering (exclusion.)
In the example below, only 720p and 29.97 are checked, filtering allowed input to only be 720p 29.97 (“720p half-rate”).
Note: Rates shown in selector are frame rates and not field rates.

Audio Detect Events Setup Controls
Note: Currently, Audio Detect is available only for Path 1 embedded audio and AES input audio.
Any combination of embedded and AES input channels can be selected to be screened for silence or presence. In the example
here, Audio Detect Event 1 is set to trigger if audio on any of channels Emb Ch 1 thru Ch 6 fall below the selected threshold
for an interval exceeding the selected threshold. Status indicators for each channel show silence (S) / presence (P) status based
on the configured thresholds.
Up to eight independent audio silence/presence events can be set to be screened (with descending priority of consideration from
Event 1 down to Event 8). This status here can be propagated to the Presets > Event Triggers sub-tab controls to issue a GPO,
preset engage, or other command when audio silence events are detected.
Presets function to invoke input routing or other
changes.
• Audio Failover Threshold sets the dBFS level at which channel content is considered to be silent, and correspondingly also
a transition back to an untriggered condition with resumption of audio for the selected embedded channels. If the selected
channels maintain levels above the selected Audio Failover Threshold, no triggering is invoked.
• Trigger Holdoff sets the period of time in which selected channel silence must occur before an Audio Silence Event tr igger
goes true.
• Release Holdoff control sets the time in which the trigger is revoked upon an event false condition.
Note: • Default threshold and holdoff settings shown here are recommended for typical use.
•“Don’t Care” setting may be labeled as Don’t Care, DC, or DSBL (disabled). All notations mean ignoring the channel
from event triggering.
• Selections other than Don’t Care work as an AND function. Where multiple selections are set, a true (trigger)
condition is not propagated unless all selected channels experience the configured criteria.
(In the example shown above, both channels Emb Ch 1 and Emb Ch 2 need to experience a Silence event for a
trigger to be propagated.)

•
Separate control groups for 4x3 and 16x9 coded input frames allow custom ARC (as well as pan/tilt) for various coded frames.
• By default, each row is set for its companion re-aspected output, along with output AFD code for the companion output (i.e.,
4x3 frames get re-aspected to a companion 16x9 re-aspecting and AFD code, and similarly 16x9 frames get re-aspected to a
companion 4x3 re-aspecting and AFD code).
In this example, default settings provide the scaling and tilt factors to convert a 16x9-coded 0010 frame to its
companion 4x3 0010 Letterbox 16x9 Top frame.
Scaling and Pan/Tilt factors
effect the re-as pecting and

• To simply output an AFD code (without any re-aspecting to be done by the card) set the No Input row to the desired code to
be outputted (in this example, “16x9 Letterbox 16x9 Center; 0100”).

image is static or lost.
Moving-box insertion provides dynamic
display even on static video. Attributes
such as box size, color, vertical
movement speed, and horizontal
movement speed are all user
configurable.
Moving box can be set to insert
continuously, or only upon loss of input.
• Moving Box Insertion Controls Selects the rules for moving-box overlay insertion into output video.
Note: If moving-box insertion is desired for input LOS conditions, the
Framesync On Loss of Video control for the selected path must
be set to provide a raster (from one of the choices shown) to
support the moving-box insertion.
If this co n tr o l is set to “Disable Outputs”, no raster or moving-box
insertion will be present on the output video under input LOS
conditions. See Framesync (p. 3-16) for more information.
• Moving Box Size Controls Sets size of box image burn-in as follows:
• Moving Box Width sets the width (as a percentage of maximum
available raster width. (Range is 0% thru 40%)
• Moving Box Height sets the height (as a percentage of maximum
available raster height. (Range is 0% thru 40%)
Note: • Moving box sizing for a given raster format may not be
appropriate for another format (especially if transitioning from HD
to SD). Set size and position for a balanced appearance that
accommodates both HD and SD raster formats if multiple format
use is required.
• For SD usage, moving box can impinge on and corrupt line 21
closed-captioning waveform if positioned too close to the upper
right of the raster.
• Moving Box Speed Controls Sets speed of motion for moving box image burn-in as follows:
• Moving Box Horizontal Speed sets the X-axis speed from choices
shown.
• Moving Box Vertical Speed sets the Y-axis speed from choices shown.

Notes:• Embedded channel pair selected must be a standard boundary pair (e.g., 1/2, 3/4 and so on).
• SMPTE 337/338/339 embedded pair carrying non-PCM data here is marked as “Non-PCM Data Unknown”. Any intermediate devices between
the Cobalt sending card/device and the Cobalt receiving card/device will transfer this data intact, as long as these devices can transfer in a
bit-accurate manner. Most devices capable of carrying Dolby® streams are capable of this. However, any intermediate devices must have
functions such as PCM level controls and SRC disabled.

data rate (in kbit/sec).
• Insertion Mode Control Where data is being inserted (received), sets the insertion as follows:
• Insert Any Data Received: Insert all received data with no regard
for packet size.
• Fixed Length Packet: Sets receive to wait and accumulate
n-number of packet bytes (as set using Insertion Fixed Packet
Size control) before inserting data.
• Break-Defined Packet: Card receiver looks for character-defined
break from source being received to define breaks.
• Insertion Flow Control Allows comm unication between card receive and sending source to
regulate data receive as follows:
• No Flow Control: Data is received without buffering or checking to
see if data is being received faster than it can be inserted.
• XON / XOFF: The card UART Tx will tell the sending source
whether it can or cannot accept data at current bit rate.
• Hold Break: Card, if close to not being able to accept new data,
tells the sending source to hold, and releases this hold when the
card is again able to accept new data.

to regulate data receive as follows:
• No Flow Control: Data is transmitted without buffering or checking
to see if data is being transmitted faster than it can be received.
• XON / XOFF: The card UART Rx will acknowledge from the
receiving system whether it can or cannot accept data at current bit
rate.
• Hold Break: Card, if receiving notification from the receiving
system that it is close to not being able to accept new data, tells the
card to hold. Card releases this hold when the receiving system
removes the break command, indicating destination is now ready
again to accept new data.
• Bit Rate/ Parity Gen Control For both Rx and Tx, sets UART for bit rate and parity as follows:
• Bit Rate: Sets Tx/Rx bit rate from 1 of 5 speeds ranging from 9600
to 230400 Baud.
• Parity: Sets card Rx to expect odd or even parity from incoming
data, and sets card Tx to generate a parity bit to satisfy selected
parity. Where parity is set, incoming data not conforming to parity
selection is rejected.

Provides event-based loading allowing a defined action
to be automatically engaged upon various received
signal status. Actions can be “canned” control
commands or user-defined by going to a user preset.
Event Setup Controls
• Event based preset loading is not passive and can result in very significant and unexpected card control and signal
processing changes if not properly used. If event based presets are not to be used, make certain the Event Based
Loading button is set to Disabled.
• Because event based preset loading can apply card control changes by invoking presets, loading conditions cannot be
nested within a called preset (event-based loading settings performed here cannot be saved to presets, although the
settings are persistent across power cycles).
Event triggers allow a variety of event screening criteria, and in turn provide an Event Action “go to” in response to the detect ed
event(s). For each screened criteria, categories can be set as “Don’t Care” or set to specific criteria to broaden or concentrate on
various areas of concern.
• The Event-Based Loading button serves as a master enable/disable for the function.
• Go-to Event Action: can be user-defined presets, “canned” (hard-coded) selections (such as GPO triggers or routing changes),
or automated E-mail alert to a respondent (see Email Alerts (p. 3-65) for setting up e-mail alerts).
• Each Event (Event 1 th ru Event 32) can be set to screen for any or several Definer criteria as shown in the example below. Up
to 32 separate events can be defined. In addition to events screened for and triggered here, each Event can be set to trigger from
Alarms detected on the Alarms page (see Alarms Setup Controls (p. 3-69)). Engage Mode (True/False) allows triggering on an
inverse of a condition.
• Event 1 thru Event 32 are arranged with Event 1 having the highest priority, descending down to Event 32. Where multiple event
screening is enabled, lower-priority events are serviced first, with the highest-priority event being the final event serviced and last
action taken as well as last item logged in the Event History (see below). This helps ensure that a lower-priority event does not
mask detection of higher-priority event(s).
• The Status indicator and message shows the activation status of each Event. Green i ndicator means event is currently engaged.
• Some columns in the DashBoard Event Setup table are present only when certain options are installed (for example, Video Quality
column appears only with option +QC).
Event Definers
Each event can be uniquely set up for any of the condition types in these columns. Unless set to Don’t
Care, all defined conditions will need to be true in order for the Event to be considered active

Note: Event criteria settings in any row comprise an AND function. Where multiple criteria are selected, a true (trigger) condition
is not propagated unless all specified criteria are true. To independently screen for multiple criteria, rows should be set up
where each criteria is screened in its own Event row. Examples of this are shown on the following pages.
The Event History log shows any triggered
events in groups of five most recent events
(newest at the top).
In the example here, log shows Event 2 as the
