1. OVERVIEW
The Evertz HD2014, HD2012 and HD2011 are high performance multi-path 1RU video conversion,
frame synchronization and decoder platforms. The HD2014 integrates four independent paths of video
processing. An internal router up-stream of the conversion engines allows each path to be fed from
any of the device inputs. Each processing path includes full frame sync and up/down/cross conversion
capabilities in addition to noise reduction and video proc capabilities. Optional MPEG2 and H.264 flex
modules allow the HD2014/12/11 series to accept ASI input signals and generate decoded base-band
video that can then be sent to conversion engines*. The HD2012 integrates two independent paths of
processing. Each path can be fed from different device inputs. The HD2011 has the same capabilities
as the HD2012 except that both processing paths must be fed from the same input video signal.
The processing power of the HD2014/12/11 series in combination with their simple to use front panels
make them ideal choices for utility conversion and decoding applications within facilities, ENG/DSNG
truck or mobile environments. The HD2014/12/11 series can support up to 4x coax HD/SD/ASI serial
inputs, 4x fiber optic HD/SD/ASI serial inputs, four composite analog video inputs, 4x or 8x mono
analog audio inputs and 8x AES digital audio inputs**. Analog video inputs are processed using 12 bit
A/D converters and use 3D video decoding technology. DVI inputs (720p and 1080p) can also be
supported. 1080p DVI inputs are automatically interlaced to 1080i.
The HD2014/12/11 series can support up to 4x coax HD/SD serial digital outputs, four fiber optic
HD/SD serial digital outputs, four composite analog video outputs, eight or four mono analog audio
outputs and eight AES digital audio outputs**. DVI outputs (720p and 1080i) can also be supported. A
reference input is available to allow these units to lock to an external reference. SNMP control and
monitoring is supported using the 10/100 Ethernet port. An integrated four input multi-image display is
available as an ordering option*.
These Evertz converters are packaged in a space saving 1RU form factor and have local front panel
control capabilities. Quick access hot keys for each processing channel are available on the front
panel to enable easy changes to core processing parameters. Eight (8) front panel “HOT KEY
MACROS” can be programmed with user controls to enable multi-parameter sets with a single button
push. The HD2014/12/11 series can be ordered with dual AC power supplies. The HD2014 series can
also support operation from externally supplied +12V DC power supply (1x AC inlet and 1x DC inlet
supported)*.
* Future function. Contact Evertz for pricing and availability information.

Within the HD2014/12/11 architecture, 16 channels of audio are de-embedded from the input of each
conversion path and sent to the internal audio processor. Eight discrete AES audio inputs and
four/eight analog audio inputs can also be made available to the audio processor**. Per channel audio
delay, stereo to 5.1 up-mixing (+UMX), 5.1 to stereo down-mixing (+DMX), IntelliGain™ audio
loudness management (+IG) and audio band equalization (+EQ) can be performed on selected input
audio channels.
Following the audio processor, 16 channels of audio may be embedded into each of the outgoing
video processors. Each of the four audio embedders can support audio inversion, gain, mono mixing
and channel swapping capabilities. Similar per channel audio routing, inversion, gain and mono-mixing

2.2. CONNECTING TO AN ETHERNET NETWORK
The HD201x is designed for use with 10Base-T (10 Mbps), 100Base-TX (100 Mbps) Ethernet cabling
systems. A single 10/100 Ethernet port is available on the HD0201x rear panel “Straight-Through”
Ethernet cables may be used when connecting to the HD201x.
Straight-through RJ-45 cable can be purchased or can be constructed using the pinout information in
Table 2-7. A colour coded wiring table is provided in Table 2-7 for the current RJ-45 standards (AT&T
258A or EIA/TIA 258B colour coding shown). Also refer to the notes following the table for additional
wiring guide information.

Table 2-7: Standard RJ45 Wiring Colour Codes
Note the following cabling information for this wiring guide:
• Only two pairs of wires are used in the 8-pin RJ-45 connector to carry Ethernet signals.
• Even though pins 4, 5, 7 and 8 are not used, it is mandatory that they be present in the cable.
• 10BaseT and 100BaseT use the same pins; a crossover cable made for one will also work with
the other.
• Pairs may be solid colours and not have a stripe.
• Category 5 cable must use Category 5 rated connectors.
Devices on the Ethernet network continually monitor the receive data path for activity as a means of
checking that the link is working correctly. When the network is idle, the devices also send a link test
signal to one another to verify link integrity.
10/100:This Amber LED is ON when a 100Base-TX link is last detected. The LED is
OFF when a 10Base-T link is last detected (the LINK LED is ON). Upon powerup the LED is OFF as the last detected rate is not known and therefore defaults
to the 10Base-T state until rate detection is completed.
LN/ACT:This dual purpose Green LED indicates that the HD201x has established a valid
linkage to its hub, and whether the HD2014 is sending or receiving data. This
LED will be ON when the HD201x has established a good link to its supporting
hub. This gives you a good indication that the segment is wired correctly. The
LED will BLINK when the HD201x is sending or receiving data. The LED will be
OFF if there is no valid connection.
The HD201x has a specific IP address that may be set through the engineering front panel.

With the V Phase Offset control, you can set the vertical timing of the output video with respect to the

input or with the incoming video if reference is missing. For normal operation, the V Phase Offset
control for each converter should be set to 0. Increasing the value will delay the output video in one-
line increments of the output video standard. In order to advance the vertical timing of the output
video with respect to reference, set the control to the maximum total number of lines of the output
video minus the number of lines that you wish to advance the output video (e.g.: for 1080i/59.94 output
video the total number of lines is 1125, so to advance the output video 5 lines, set the value to 1120).
When increasing the V Phase Offset causes it to go beyond the limit of the frame buffer, the
V Phase Offset will wrap to the beginning of the frame buffer, resulting in a change of one frame of
throughput delay between the video input and the video output.

5.2. AUDIO CONFIGURATION MENU ITEMS
The HD2014 audio processor and its internal architecture are shown below. The audio processor
acquires its incoming audio from embedded, 8x discrete AES and 4x discrete analog (+AA option)
audio inputs. In the HD2014, embedded audio from the video supplied to each of the four internal
processing paths is de-embedded (16 channels) and made available for subsequent processing.
In the HD201x, there are 8x AES outputs and 8x mono analog audio outputs. AES outputs and analog
audio outputs have their own independent audio channel routing, gain and inversion controls.
Embedded audio from the audio processor is fed back up to the output of each video processing path.
Embedded audio outputs have their own independent audio routing, gain and inversion controls.
Advanced audio processing functions like IntelliGain audio loudness (+IG), stereo to 5.1 up-mixing
(+UMX), 5.1 to stereo down-mixing (+DMX) and audio band equalization (+EQ) are integrated into the
system using an audio wrap-around architecture. These processing blocks may acquire their source of
video from any other inbound audio channel or any processing block. At the same time, each
processing block feeds its output audio back into the system so it can feed any other processing block.
