Figure 1-1 shows a functional block diagram of the BBG-1034-AUD-PRO.
The BBG-1034-AUD-PRO includes AES/analog audio support and CVBS
video I/O. In addition to a basic signal presence input failover function, a
Quality Check option allows failover to al ternate i nputs or other ac tions ba sed
on user-configurable criteria such as black or frozen frame. Frame sync and
full up-down-cross conversion can be added as options.
The BBG-1034-AUD-PRO provides a DSP-based platform that supports
multiple audio DSP options. When optioned with various diverse audio
processing options, the DSP-b ased process ing core ( which support s numerous
simultaneous processi ng engines ) uses li cense “credits” which allows flexible
tailoring of multiple proc function instances.
Note: The BBG-1034-AUD-PRO DSP base adds support for various DSP audio
options. Actual DSP user assets (such as loudness processing, upmixing,
and Dolby encoders) are activated for use only when corresponding option
licenses also reside on the device.

Video Processor Description
The BBG-1034-AUD-PRO video subsyst em provides t he functi ons descr ibed
below.
Input Video Select/Quality Check Functions
A GUI-based control allows the device to sele ct from up to four 3G/HD/
SD-SDI inputs, and a SD CVBS analog video input. For analog inputs,
waveform-based ancillary data is preserved for extraction and usage later in
the device 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 exte rna ll y sel ect ed
via a GPIO interface. An input
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 device
when selected as a choice on the output crosspoint.
(Option +QC). Quality Check allows criteria such as black/
frozen frame events to propagate an event alert. This alert can be used by the
Presets function to invoke video routing changes, GPO, and other actions.

Auto-Changeover Function
(See Figure 1-2.) This function allows the device logic assert of input select

until normal operation again commences. In normal operation, the output
relay always maintains routing from the device processed output to output
RLY BYP B.
Note: • The device also provides active (DA-driven) outputs RCK/PROC 1 thru
RCK/PROC 4. These outputs are independent of the relay failover function
and will lose signal in the event of a power loss.
• The above failover uses basic signal presence as failover criteria and is
limited to inputs A and B. Failover using active assessments (Quality
Check) can be set to provide failovers using frozen/black frame and other
criteria. See Video Quality Events Detect Function (p. 1-11) for more
information.

Introduction BBG-1034-AUD-PRO Functional Description
Scaler Function
Option +UDX provides up/down/cross-conversion to 3G/HD/SD from
multiple SD and 3G/HD video format s and multip le frame rates, and
cross-conversion between interlaced and progressive formats, with
auto-format detect/down-conversion of SMPTE 424M/292M/259M formats.
The scaler function also provides aspect ratio conversion that provides a
choice from several st andard aspect ratios. User-defined settings allow
custom user-de fined H and V aspect r atio co ntrol . The sc aler provi des specia l
modes that allow de-interlacing to be bypassed in certain cases to reduce
processing latency. Also provided are selections to optimize 3:2 pulldown
conversion where timecode or other timing references can be relied upon to
indicate frame transitions.
Timecode Processor
(See Figure 1-3.) This fun ct ion provi de s for ext rac ti on of time code data fro m
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 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 timecode value. If the preferred format is detected, the
preferred format is used by th e device; if the preferred format is not det ected,
the device 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 con ver sion be tween va rious timecod e fo rmats a nd

Frame Sync Function
Option +FS provides for frame sync control using an external looping
reference signal, or the input 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.
Frame sync can select from either the external frame reference source, or
free-run input video sync. Selectable failover allows alternate reference
selection should th e init ial r efere nce sour ce become u nava ilabl e or inv alid. I n
the event of input video loss of signal, the output can be set to disable video,
go to black, go to an int er nal te st signal generator pa tt er n, 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 ap pli ed to t he outpu t video upon loss of inpu t or manuall y
inserted at any time.
Note: On devices not licensed for option +FS, a Video Delay function is provided.
This function can restore lip sync when using audio DSP functions such as
RTLL and Dolby encoding.

Audio Processor Description
This option also provides SMPTE 337 embed/de-embed, which allows serial
user data to be embedded and de-embedded over unused embedded audio
pairs.
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 1-4.) The audio processing subsection is built around an 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 t he 16- channel internal 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.

Clean and Quiet Switching option +CQS allows SDI input
selection to be changed from one source to another while ducking audio
during controll ed input video s witching transit ions to provi de sile nce betwe en
input switches. The cross-fade is queued for the next available RP168 switch
line following the switch command.
Note: • Clean audio switching is assured only for intentional, controlled switches via
user control. Clean audio switching cannot be assured for failover switches.
• Clean switching requires that both SDI signals (switch from and switch to)
be stable and present, and of the same SDI format and rate.
• Clean audio switching function is designed for PCM audio. This function
does not assure clean decoded audio when switching from/to Dolby or other
non-PCM audio.

Flex Buses
For both input an d outp ut node s b efore and a fter the i nter nal buses , fle x buses
provide flexible-st ruc ture mixer in which any of 16 summing nodes (
Bus A thru Flex Mix Bus P) can receive any device audio input, thereby
allowing several customizable mixing schemes. Similarly, any of the 16
internal bus signals can be applied to an output flex bus mixer.
Audio DSP Function
The Audio DSP Function provides a DSP-based platform that supports
multiple audio DSP options. When optioned with various diverse audio
processing options, the DSP-b ased process ing core ( which support s numerous
simultaneous processi ng engines ) uses li cense “credits” which allows flexible
tailoring of multiple proc function instances. Audio proc options include

Flex Mix
(See Figure 1-6) The Audio DSP block is pos itioned bet ween all devi ce audio
inputs (input mixer positioning) as well as audio outputs (output mixer
positioning). Actual audio DSP proc functions are facilitated using licenses
for these options. When any audio option is licensed (activated), the
processing can be positioned at the input or output mixer as desired.
• Input Mixer path positio ning locates the DSP pipeline to r ece ive basic
external inputs coming into the device, and then allows DSP
processed output channels to be directed to the internal Audio Bus
channels by selecting Audio DSP channels as sources for destination
Audio Bus channels via the Input Audio Routing/Controls

Text-To-Speech
Cobalt Digital +TTS is a co mplete 2 1CVAA digital text-to-speech gen erati on /
audio insertion solution for embedded and discrete audio systems.
+TTS interfaces with industry standard Windows Share folder systems to
receive non-proprietary text, XML, or similar plain text files, and converts
and inserts realistic human-voice audio into user-configured audio channels
(typically an SAP channel pair intended for this playout).
prioritization based on the organization's discretion (for example, severe
weather alerts out-prioritizing school closings). Alert tones are inserted over
the main program channels to alert the visually impaired that emergency
content is to occur on the SAP channel. Alerts can be played a configurable
number of times, and alerts with higher priority can interrupt current lists for
breaking news. Once the interrupt message is broadcast,
reverts to normal audio programming. Refer to +TTS Manual Supplement
OPT-TTS-MS for detailed information and installation/setup instructions.

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
presets in which GPI activation invokes a 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
device setup communication limited only to the items being changed.
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 preset is in turn applied (i.e., when a preset is invoked
(either manually or vi a event-based load ing), the GPO is corr espondingly al so
activated.

Example Multiple DSP Process Audio Routing and DSP Setup
In this example, single DSP pipeline DSP A is setup to:
• Receive an embedded PCM pair from the basic device input audio (input mixer positioning).
• Upmix the PCM stereo pair to 5.1 audio.
• Perform Real-Time Loudness Leveler (RTLL) loudness processing.
• Output the processed 5.1 complement as PCM and as a separate Dolby Digital 5.1 Encoded pair.
• Provide a separate additional Dolby 2.0 Encoder (on DSP E) for a SAP stereo PCM pair.

When a DSP pipeline is enabled for any function by checking any check box like t hat shown abov e, the s ub-tabs for the
related DSP in the lower pane expose all the setup functions required for the selected processes. In this example, we’ll
start with the Source Selection function since this is the first step in setting up a DSP.
After checkboxes enabling the desired processes are checked in the Audio DSP page upper pane, selecting the
respective DSP tab (Audio DSP A thru Audi o DSP H) shows the pertinent setup tabs for the functions that are selected.
In this example, we’ve selected DSP processes using DSP pipeline Audio DSP A. Clicking the Audio DSP A tab exposes the
setup functions sub-tabs for the pipeline. Here, we will start with telling the DSP what inputs it will receive using the Source
Selection sub-tab.

With the Source Sele cti on sub-tab opened, we now assign the card basic input channels that the processing chain will use
(in this example, sourcing from card basic inputs Emb Ch 1/2). Since all of the processes selected here reside in DSP A,
each process will forward its processed signal to the next enabled process in the DSP pipeline.

With source selection having been set, now we proceed to setting up the Upmixer. In our example we are sourcing from
a stereo PCM pair, so Crossfade does not need to be considered (Mode can be set to Auto or Always Upmix). For cases
where 5.1-channel PCM is used as an input, and may already carry 5.1 content, the Threshold and Auto Crossfade
controls can make for smoother transitions between existing and Upmixer-developed 5.1 content. Default settings are
recommended in most cases.
Now that the Upmixer is set up, the 5.1 Upmix content in our example is fed to the Real Time Loudness Leveler 5.1
function (since we also have that checkbox checked for the DSP A pipeline).
The RTLL blocks offer parametric controls for loudness leveling. Basic setup is setting RTLL to Enabled, and choosing
a Manual IRL level (typically same as the desired loudness level). Other settings can typically be left at the default
settings provided.

Our final processing step in this example is setting DSP A to also provide a Dolby 5.1 encoded pair. When a Dolby encoder
is checked (enabled), the Dolby Digital Encoder and Dolby Digital Encoder Metadata sub-tabs appear, which allow
setup of the Dolby encoded pair.
The first step in setting up an encoder is selecting the Encoder Format (which selects between Dolby Digital and Dolby
Digital Plus formats). In this example, Dolby Digital is used, with the default data rate being used. The status displays below
the setup drop-downs show data rate actually being used, as well as encode success.
Note: Although the Metadata Source drop-down allows choices other than encoder internal metadata, only internal
metadata is currently supported.
With the encoder format and data rate basics set up above, now the bitstream mode, metadata, and other particulars
related to the selected mode can be set. In this example, standard 5.1 is selected (3/2L) with a dialnorm of -24 (conforming
to ATSC A/85). The encoded stream is now ready to be placed on an audio bus channel pair for eventual output from the
card.

Routing the DSP Audio Outputs On the Device
Again, depending on whether the DSP is positioned at the device input or output mixer, Audio DSP processed outputs are
available as follows:
• DSP positioned at the Input Mixer makes its outputs available to the device Audio Bus Channels (as choices on each
Audio Bus Ch 1 thru Audio Bus Ch 16 drop-down using the In pu t A ud io Routing tab).
• DSP positioned at the Output Mixer makes its outputs available to the device Embedded, AES, and Analog Audio
channels (as choices on each output drop-downs using the Output Audio Routing tab).
Note: Dolby encoded audio can only be outputted on digital audio channels such as embedded or AES. However, DSP audio
processed to provide PCM outputs can also be outputted on analog audio output channels. These outputs will be processed
just like any other PCM handled by the device, and converted to analog by the device on-board audio DAC.
In the example here, since DSP A was set up to be positioned at the input mixer, its DSP outputs are routed to the Audio Bus
channels as shown below.
DSP A Upmix > RTLL 5.1 > 6 PCM Audio DSP A L thru
Audio DSP A Rs routed to card input Audio Bus
Channels Ch1 thru Ch 6, respectively.
The DSP outputs can be used for other internal card

Tips for Using Audio DSP
• Determine what positioning (input or output mixer) is best for the task being set up. Placement at the input
mixer provides the most flexibility (especially if the processed output may be needed for other processes).
• When performing significant changes like unchecking or checking (enabling) new DSP functions, always
press the DashBoard Refresh button to make sure the change is taken in on DashBoard and sub-tabs
correspondingly displayed are refreshed with the drop-downs that correlate with the DSP setup. If
DashBoard changes (such as channel routing) are done before refresh, the intended routing settings may
not actually take place and engage.
• Where possible where a compound setup (lik e tha t sho w n in th is ex am pl e for DSP A ) is bei ng s et up, it’s a
good idea to confine the processes to a single DSP pipeline. In this manner, the intermediate processed
signals will always be routed to the next function selected, without requiring any manual routing setup in
DashBoard.
• Audio lag (delay) will occur when RTLL is used. Using the card Video Delay controls (or Frame Sync
controls and Input Audio Routing > Audio Delay co ntrols where equ ipped ), it is recomme nded to prov ide
a 200 msec video delay (or 200 msec audio advance) to restore lip sync. As with all Dolby Encoders,
restoring lip sync for a D o lby e ncode/decode chain m us t a ls o b e con si dere d. R efe r to ap pli ca ble m anu al (s)

Note: This subsection of the Audio DSP presentation covers the specific controls and settings of the DSP enable setup pane,
signal routing to and from DSP blocks, and the specific DSP blocks themselves. Reading and understanding the
overview on the preceding pages is strongly recommended before proceeding to the descriptions below.
• Audio DSP Basic Setup Pane
(Upper Pane)
Clicking the Audio DSP tab opens the upper and lower panes of the Audio DSP page. In the upper pane, select desired pairs
A/B thru G/H of DSP pipelines as desired to facilitate DSP functions as needed.
• In each DSP function row (Dolby Decoder thru Dolby Digital Encoder 2.0), enable DSP function and apply it to a DSP pipeline
pair as desired by clicking the corresponding checkbox.
• When DSP functions are enabled In a DSP pipeline column, now position the DSP pipeline to be at the input or output mixer as
desired by checking the Input Mixer or Output Mixer button.
In this example, DSP A is set to enable Upmixer, Real Time Loudness Leveler 5.1, and Dolby Digital Encoder 5.1, with all
set to be positioned at the Input Mixer.
In this example DSP E is set to enable Dolby Decoder, with this set to be positioned at the Output Mixer.
• Unused DSP asset rows/columns can be left as-is with mixer selection being ignored.
• licenses available displays shows whether or not the DSP function is licensed for the card, and if so the number of licenses
available. As DSP functions are enabled, the available licenses is correspondingly decremented.
When the Audio DSP tab is opened, the upper pane allows basic, primary
setup of the DSP functions (blocks) such as selecting (enabling) available
DSP functions for each DSP pipeline.
These settings must be performed first, as these settings will enable
desired DSP functions and position the DSP assets at either the input

• Audio DSP Pipeline Sele ct/Setup Pane
(Lower Pane)
Sub-tabs for each DSP pipeline allow selecting a specific pipeline to “go into” and access other settings specific to the enabled
functions. In the running example here with DSP A having Upmixer, RTLL5.1, and Dolby Digital Encoder 5.1 enabled, when
DSP A sub-tab is clicked, a series of applicable lower sub-tabs appear which allow specific setup of the enabled functions. The
processing path to be applied is also shown in the Path Setup window.
If a DSP pipeline has no functions enabled, “Path is disabled” is displayed and no lower sub-tabs appear.
The lower pane that displays when the Audio DSP tab is opened allows
“going into” each enabled DSP pipeline, and setting up attributes for the
pipeline such as signal routing and function-specific settings for the DSP
functions that are enabled.
The lower sub-tabs that appear correspond to the setup required for the enabled functions (in the example here, Source Selection
to route PCM inputs to the DSP functions, Upmixer setup, RTLL setup, and finally Dolby Encoder setup).
The tabs that appear are a dynamic function of enabled DSP functions (for example, if Upmixer was not enabled, the
Upmixer sub-tab shown here would not appear).

With framesync enabled, provides the following controls for offsetting the
output video from the reference:
• Vertical (Lines) – sets vertical delay (in number of lines of output
video) between the output video and the frame sync reference.
(Positive values provide delay; negative values provide advance)
(Range is -1124 thru 1124 lines; null = 0 lines.)
• Horizontal (µs) – sets horizontal delay (in µs of output vid eo ) between
the output video and the frame sync reference. (Positive values provide
delay; negative values provide advance)
(Range is -64 thru 64 µsec; null = 0.000 µsec.)
Note: Offset advance is accomplished by hold-off of the
reference-directed release of the frame, thereby effectively
advancing the program video relative to the reference.
When Framesync is enabled, specifies the smallest amount of latency
delay (frames held in buffer) allowed by the frame sync. 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 frame (not one field).
Note: Due to device memory limits, the maximum available Minimum
Latency Frames is related to the output video format selected.
When using this control, be sure to check the Report Delay

timecode and closed captioning must be set for re-insertion as
desired. See Timecode (p. 3-43) and Closed Captioning (p. 3-53)
for more information about insertion into scaled output video.
• De-Interlacer Control Allows de-interlacer to be bypassed to reduce processing latency.
• Bypassed: De-interlacer is bypassed regardless of conversion
being performed. When converting from interlaced to progressive,
this results in reduced latency at the expense of fast-motion
smoothness.
• Auto-Enable: Applies de-interlacing for interlaced-to-interlaced
conversions where useful (such as 1080i to 525i conversions). This
is the default normal mode which also disables de-interlacing where
not required (e.g., conversions within progressive formats).
• Always Enabled For Interlaced Input: This setting enables
de-interlacing always when an interlaced input format is being
converted by the scaler.
Note: De-interlacer is always bypassed when converting from a
progressive format to a progressive format.

Dolby E Alignment – Provides selectable Dolby E alignment for
embedded Dolby E to position the bitstream utilizing the Dolby E
“guard band”. This helps prevent frame errors that may occur in a
bitstream upon switching or editing.
• Dolby E Embedding Alignment Control For incoming Dolby E data routed to the audio bus (either over embedded
channels or via AES embedding to the bus), aligns the embedded Dolby
data corresponding to selection. Alignment line as a result of selection is
shown in E Alignment status display.
Note: Where a frame reference is available, it is recommended to use the
Align to Reference selection. This helps ensure that the correct
alignment is achieved even if the video is user delayed or output
format is changed.

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.)

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 Con trols
• Event based preset loading is not passive and can result in very significant and unexpected device 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 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 detected
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 Actions 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. 3-64) for setting up e-mail alerts).
• Each Event (Event 1 thru 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.
• 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 indicator 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

In the example here for Event 1, the Video Quality Events tab is set to screen for frozen video on Input A. When detected, this
status can be used here (Video Quality set to “Input A Event Engaged” indicating black or frozen video detected). Using the Event
Action selector, go-to action of “go to B” can be invoked (which in this example is a user preset that changes card routing to use
an alternate input source).
Conversely, to go back to the original source, an event could be set up with Video Quality here looking for “Input A Event
Disengaged” and in turn invoke an event action returning routing to the original video source (in this example, user preset
“normal path A”).
In the example here, Event 1 and Event 3 are respectively set for frozen video and closed captioning absence detection. Using
separate Event rows for Video Quality and ANC Data (closed-captioning absence) screening allows these conditions to be
independently detected and acted upon with user actions tailored to the event (when either of the conditions are detected,
different actions can be taken as selected).
In this example, frozen video calls a preset using an input video routing change, while loss of closed captioning calls a preset
to send a GPO. Both Events 1 and 3 have corresponding go-to actions to resume normal operation when the event ceases (in
this example, a preset “normal path A”).
Note: • Screened conditions are triggered upon start of event. Any event-based setup must be done in advance of the
triggering event in order for event to be detected.
• If a desired user preset does not appear in the Event A ction drop-down, press the DashBoard Refresh button

defined and then occur to transition from one event-based trigger to another.
• Time required to engage an event-based trigger depends upon complexity of the called preset. (For example,
a preset that invokes a video change will take longer to engage than a preset involving only an audio routing
change.)
• Make certain all definable event conditions that the card might be expected to “see” are defined in any of the
Event 1 thru Event 32 rows. This makes certain that the card will always have a defined “go-to” action if a
particular event occurs. For example, if the card is expected to “see” a 720p5994 stream or as an alternate, a
525i5994 stream, make certain both of these conditions are defined (with your desired go-to presets) in any two
of the Event 1 thru Event 32 condition definition rows.
• Event Actions defined using user presets must be used with care to prevent conditions that could cause looping
or the removal or “override” of de sired expected s ettings. When using presets, the P reset Layer s election
should be used such that only required aspects are touched (for the example above, the preset “no-cc-msg”
should be set to only send a GPO).
• Where multiple event scr eening is set up, the e vent you cons ider to be the highest p riority should be s et as
higher priority than lesser events (as shown in the exam ple above where Video Quality scre ening trumps CC
absence). Also, this prioritization helps ensure that all desired ev ents are screened for before a significant
change (such as input video source change) is effected.

User States is a special column which allows a logic state to be set (similar to a register or latch) whenever a defined condition
is first triggered. A user state (which is latched until cleared by some other definable action) can be sucessively used with other
user states, thereby allowing a final action to be invoked only when subordinate user states have been sequentially satisfied as
true.
In the example here, two independent units are used for an EAS alert input (one box supplies alert key video, and the other
supplies automated alert audio). Both communicate their ready signal each using edge-trigger GPO’s which are fed to the
respective GPI 1 and GPI 2 on the card. Because these two boxes are independent and cannot be relied upon to provide
coinciding triggers, a chain of user state definers are used here to engage a preset routing key video and EAS audio routing
when both states from both boxes are true in the order of GPI 1 first and then GPI 2 second for this example.

When either GPI 1 or GPI 2 has a rising-edge trigger
(cease EAS), user states 1 or 2 are cleared, there by
clearing user state 3. Either state change calls a
preset to revert to normal operation.

Provides three general-purpose timers that can be
triggered to start, pause, reset, or stop upon event
actions. The state of each timer, in turn, can also be
used to invoke other actions.
Email Alerts
Event Timers 1 thru 3 (Timer 1 shown) can be set with count-down values. The Pause/
Reset/Start control here are manual controls. The timers are typically used with
automated cues to start and stop the timer(s), as shown below.
in the example here, Event Timer 1 is used to set a logo insertion disable after a specific amount of elapsed time. A GPI inserts
the logo, along with a time started at that time. Upon the timer timeout, a separate action sets logo insertion to Disabled.
Provides setup for automated Email alerts when an
event has occurred.
Email Alerts
As an Event Action choice on the Events Triggers sub-tab, an Email alert can be sent as a response. Set up email fields as
shown in the example below.
Note: Frame hosting the card must be accessible to email recipient’s network. It is recommended to set up and generate a test
event to test the email send.
When fields are filled-in to specify recipient and sender, and
email alert is selected for Event Action on Event Triggers
sub-tab page, recipeient receives an email alert upon event,
with the triggering event shown (in this example, “fr ozen
video detected”).

• Firmware Upgrade Controls
Firmware upgrade controls allow a selected firmware version (where
multiple versions can be uploaded to the device’s internal memory) to
invoke an upgrade to a selected version either instantly, or set to install
on the next device reboot (thereby allowing upgrade downtime to be
controlled at a scheduled point in time).
Note: The page/tab here allows managing multiple firmware versions saved on the device. New upgrade firmware from our
web site can always be directly uploaded to the device without using this page. Instructions for firmware downloading to
your computer and uploading to the device can be found at the Support>Firmware Downloads link at
www.cobaltdigital.com.
1. Access a firmware upgrade file from a network computer by clicking Upload at the
bottom of DashBoard.
2. Browse to the location of the firmware upgrade file (in this example, My
Documents\v1.0.0019.bin).
3. Select the desired file and click Open to upload the file to the card.
• Immediate firmware upload. The card default setting of Automatically
Reboot After Upgrade checked allow a selected firmware version to be
immediately uploaded as follows:
1. Click Firmware To Load and select the desired upgrade file to be loaded (in
this example, “v1.0.0019”).
2. Click L oad Selected Firmware . The card now reboots and the selected
firmware is loaded.
• Deferred firmware upload. With Automatically Reboot After Upgrade
unchecked, firmware upgrade loading is held off until the card is manually
rebooted. This allows scheduling a firmware upgrade downtime event until
when it is convenient to experience to downtime (uploads typically take about
60 seconds).
1. Click Firmware To Load and select the desired upgrade file to be loaded (in
this example, “v1.0.0019”). Note now how the display shows “Installs on
Next Reboot”.
2. Click L oad Selected Firmware . The card holds directions to proceed with
the upload, and performs the upload only when the card is manually rebooted (by pressing the Reboot button).
3. To cancel a deferred upload, press Cancel Pending Upgrade. The card reverts to the default settings that allow an
immediate upload/upgrade.

Provides controls for setting up controls which screen
for and propagate input program video alarms for
video, audio, and ancillary data defect conditions.
Alarms Setup Controls
The Alarms tab has several sub-tabs which allow setting up detection and alarm severity/propagation for input program video
alarms for video, audio, and ancillary data defect conditions (as described and shown below)
Video Alarm Setup sub-tab allows setting up screening engagement and disengagement holdoff
for frozen and/or black video detection on the card’s four SDI inputs (independent for each SDI
input). In the default example settings shown here, engagement and disengagement of alarm
generation occurs 3000 msec after event detect.
Factory default holdoff settings shown here are recommended for at least initial settings. If holdoff
periods are too brief, nuisance alarms may be generated during transitions to and from programs
and interstitials.
Conditions and alarm status can be propagated as
DashBoard tree-view frame alarms, downloadable .txt
files and/or Syslog IP-based alarms.
Audio Alarm Setup sub-tab allows setting up screening trigger threshold,
engagement and disengagement holdoff for low or missing audio levels on
the card’s embedded audio input channels.
• Levels above the Failover Threshold are considered normal.
• Levels below the Failover Threshold (and exceeding the holdoff) are
considered below normal.
Note: Audio channels screened are from the card SDI that is selected for
the program video/audio path (for example, if SDI A is selected as the
input source on the Input Video tab, the 16 embedded channels
comprising this video/audio input are screened).
Factory default holdoff and threshold settings shown here are
recommended for at least initial settings. If holdoff periods are too
brief (or threshold set too high), nuisance alarms may be generated
during transitions to and from programs and interstitials, as well as
during certain content.
