Introduction

The Unit is a flexible platform consisting of a base unit or chassis in to which various option cards can be plugged. The base unit provides an Ethernet control interface, and Ethernet data interfaces, it also provides basic transport stream processing functionality. Other functionality such as video encoding, audio encoding, or other input or output interfaces are provided by option cards.

License Keys

License Keys control the availability of some of the features accessible from the unit and are issued to a specific chassis, not an option card, and are held within the chassis.

Base Chassis

This section introduces the chassis and describes the functions associated with the host controller.

Option Cards

The following are the available option cards:

EN7100 SD MPEG-2 VCM

This provides high quality MPEG-2 Video encoding, and audio encoding.

functionality being enabled is provided by an option card.

Features

License Keys consist of a feature, and the number of instances of this feature that are allowed within the chassis. License Keys are allocated on a ‘first configured first served’ basis within the chassis. If an attempt is made to enable a feature, but the required license key is not available then the feature is not enabled, and a log message is generated. When a function that has a license associated with it is disabled, the license key is released within 1 second, and therefore available to be re-allocated .

Verifying which licenses are present in the Unit

Access to the encoder web pages is necessary to verify the licenses that are enabled on the unit. Navigate to Configure > System > Licenses feature enabled by the license.

NOTE : Short term licenses are not supported.

Ordering Additional Licenses.

When ordering additional licenses for existing units the following information is needed:

1. Unique Chip ID of the unit is required to generate the key. This is retrieved by navigating to the following web page :

Configure > System > Base Unit > Advanced > ChipID

2. The TOTAL FINAL number of licenses required (including licenses already enabled on the unit) needs to be provided.

The above information is used to generate a new license key file, which then needs to be loaded onto the appropriate unit.

Entering License Keys

The keys are saved in an XML (newlicensedetail.xml) ready to be entered onto the unit via the web page Browse to: Configure > Licenses In the license box enter the license filename and select upload.

NOTE : The front panel CANNOT be used to enter license keys!

The option cards provide the video, audio and data processing functionality and can be ‘Hot Swapped’, i.e. inserted or removed whilst the chassis is powered.

Why Have Two Mains Connectors

Many broadcasting sites have two power supply chains, either from the master switchboard or, for major sites, from different points on the supply grid. As the most common cause of system failure is loss of power, feeding the chassis from the separate chains ensures reliability of supply and, therefore, continuity of service.

Audio Encoding

Overview

Up to eight channel pairs can be de-embedded from the HD-SDI or SDI video input, or up to four channel pairs can come via the 15 way D-Type Audio Input connector on the cards rear panel as either balanced or unbalanced AES/EBU digital audio.

If a /SWO/DOLBY/AC3 license key is available, two audio channel pairs may be encoded in accordance with the Dolby Digital specification.

Up to eight audio channel pairs of uncompressed audio can be encoded in accordance with MPEG-1 Layer II, subject to license key /SWO/M1L2 for more than two channels.

Audio that has already been Dolby Digital encoded can be input, and suitably encapsulated for inclusion in an output transport stream (pass through mode).

A total number of eight audio channel pairs can be processed of which up to two channel pairs can be encoded in accordance with the Dolby Digital specification

Audio Input

The Pre-processing function on the VCM accepts digital audio input from either de-embedding from the HD/SD-SDI input, as a balanced pair (110 Ω) or unbalanced input (75 Ω) from the D type back panel connector. See Technical Specification for more details.

HD-SDI Input

file://C:\Users\ebriacl\AppData\Local\Temp\~hh7DF.htm

Audio can be embedded on a serial digital interface (HD-SDI) feed within four groups. Each group contains two pairs. Hence each HD-SDI can carry up to a maximum of 2 x 4 = 8 pairs, or 16 mono channels.

Each group has an associated Data Identifier (DID). The DIDs are set to the SMPTE 299M defaults for audio group 1 to group 4:



Group 1 = 0x2E7



Group 2 = 0x1E6



Group 3 = 0x1E5



Group 4 = 0x2E4

The DIDs are located in ancillary packets in the data stream. They are fixed at the SMPTE 299M defaults.

SD-SDI Input

Audio can be embedded on a serial digital interface (SDI) feed within four groups. Each group contains two pairs. Hence each SDI can carry up to a maximum of 2 x 4 = 8 pairs, or 16 mono channels.

Each group has an associated Data Identifier (DID). The DIDs are set to the SMPTE 272M defaults for audio group 1 to group 4:



Group 1 = 0x2FF



Group 2 = 0x1FD



Group 3 = 0x1FB



Group 4 = 0x2F9

The DIDs are located in ancillary packets in the data stream. They are fixed at the SMPTE 272M defaults. DID 1F4 is reserved for EDH error packets. Refer to the SMPTE 272M specification for more details.

Audio Input

The digital input of the VCM accepts four stereo pairs of digital audio. See Technical Specification for more details.

CAUTION...

When the digital audio source is used with the AUDIO IN connector, consideration must be given to the choice of clock source used by the Encoder. To ensure correct operation, both the Encoder and the audio source may need to be genlocked to the studio source by selecting the video clock as external. Then the encoding clock is derived from an External Sync module.

Audio Encoding Modes

Up to eight audio channel pairs of uncompressed audio can be encoded in accordance with MPEG-1 Layer II, subject to license key SWO/M1L2 for more than two channel pairs.

If a SWO/AC3 license key is available, two audio channel pairs may be encoded in accordance with the Dolby Digital specification.

Pre-encoded Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby E inputs can be suitably encapsulated for inclusion in an output transport stream.

The VCM can generate a 1 kHz test tone, which may be used in place of any audio input.

Any audio input can be associated with the video being processed, and the audio encoding delay will be matched to the video encoding delay so that audio/video synchronisation (lipsync) is maintained.

All Audio modes are configurable on a per channel basis, which includes the source of the audio, its encoding configuration and output PID. The following is a summary of the Audio Compression functionality available.

Dolby Digital pass through (Dolby Digital AC-3)

Dolby Digital Plus pass through Glitch suppression is supported in this mode 8 DolbyE pass through Compliant with SMPTE 302M 8 LPCM pass through Compliant with SMPTE 302M 8

Glitch suppression is supported in this mode 8

Glitch Suppression Mode

When in Dolby Digital pass through mode, the coding module monitors the encoded bitstream and if the framing structure is incorrect, a valid silence frame or the last good frame is inserted in its place. If this state occurs for more than a second, the Encoder signals that the Dolby Digital bitstream is corrupted.

Test Tone

The VCMs can generate a test tone on any audio channel at 1 kHz

Advanced Settings

Dolby Digital (AC-3) components by default use the descriptor defined by the DVB in the PMT. However the AC-3 PMT Descriptor Syntax control available in the Audio Module/Advanced menu enables this descriptor to be forced to the ATSC AC-3 descriptor.

Vertical Blanking Interval (VBI) Data

General

All VBI information carriage are configurable (either enabled or disabled). The video line from which the VBI is extracted is configurable. The default is set according to the recognised standard for the VBI type.

VBI Lines

Up to at least 8 VBI lines per field can be extracted. Unless otherwise stated, all VBI data are formed into one VBI transport stream packet that conforms to ETSI EN 301 775 or SCTE 127.

In this release the ASI outputs are mirrored - the same transport stream is transmitted from both outputs.

Two 75 Ω female BNC input connectors are also available but are not supported in this release.

The ASI option module uses the 27MHz clock and System Reference Clock (SRC) from the base chassis backplane as its frequency reference.

The output bit rate of the ASI Card is configurable up to 216Mbps. The module automatically determines if the packets are to be sent either in Burst or Byte Mode. If the TS rate is less than 70Mbps, packets are sent in byte mode. Above 70Mbps burst mode is used.

External Sync Input

The External Sync Input card provides a 75 Ω female BNC connector to allow an external synchronization signal to be input to the unit. This signal may then be used as the frequency reference for the units 27 MHz System Clock Reference.

The input signal may either be: 1 V peak to peak PAL or NTSC black and burst video signal. 1 V peak to peak 10 MHz square wave or sine wave reference.
