Notes on configuring the Line (AVDL) / Line (Minimum) sync system (in case of
1080 /59i)
To synchronize an input in Line sync mode (S ync Mode is set to Line) with default settings,
the following condition is required:
-Input signals must be within ±0.5 H against the genlock signal.
In other words, seeing from the FA-505 output:
-Input signals must be in a range from -1.5H to -0.5H against the FA-505 output signal.
Input plus 0.5H Input minus 0.5H

1H 2H 3H
FA-505 System Phase (V)
default setting: +1H
1H 2H 3H
Genlock phase

Therefore, the sync system operates correctly if input signals are in a range from 1.5H to -0.5H against the FA-505 output as shown below.

In the same way, for other sync modes, the adjustable range against FA-505 output signal
phase should be as follows:
-AVDL mode: 6H to -0.5H
-Line (Minimum) mode: -1.3H to -0.3H

RGB CLIP
To adjust the RGB clipping, select the RGB CLIP setting under CLIP MODE, and then set RGB White Clip and RGB Black Clip. Once the “RGB CLIP” is selected, the YPbPr input video signal is converted into an RGB signal in the unit. The converted RGB signal is processed so as not to exceed the RGB gamut range set under the RGB White Clip and RGB Black Clip parameters in the menu. Then the processed RGB signal is then reconverted to YPbPr format. This correction is used to eliminate out-of RGB gamut problems.

Allows you to enable or disable automatic phase adjustment for FS1-5 input embedded audio groups.
(*1)
Enable: Automatic adjustment Disable: No adjustment (normal setting)
Allows you to select audio clock signal to use for de-embedding and processing audio data in HD-SDI signal input.
Auto: De-embeds HD-SDI embedded audio data
using the audio clock phase data in the embedded audio. Synchronous and asynchronous embedded audio signals from 4 audio groups can be de-embedded separately. Audio data will be processed as synchronous data if the audio clock phase data is incorrect, or jitter is too great.
Sync SDI: All audio data in 4 audio groups are always
processed as synchronous data without referring to the respective audio clock phase data.
AUD Clock: Always uses audio clock phase data in
HD-SDI embedded audio data to de-embed the audio data.
The FA-505 can detect audio status changes such as an input signal change, and automatically mute fade signals out.
Disable: Disables mute function when change in audio
status is detected. Normally not selected. * Refer to
the important note on the next page. Normal: Mutes when a change on an SDI signal, ADP
(Audio Data Packet), or DBN (Data Block Number) is detected. Normally selected.
Sensitive: Mutes when a change on channel status, or
EDP (Extended Data Packet) presence (only for SD-SDI), as well as the above items, is detected.
Disable: Always passes audio signals without
applying fade or mute processing.
Enable: Fades out and mutes when an error occurs,
and fades in after returning to normal state.
(*2)
and
64
Page 65
IMPORTANT
Normally set Error Sensing to Normal. Set to Disable for a specific program or duration when audio output has noise or is
muted. The FA-505 fades out audio or resets the delay circuit when a status change (SDI
signal input interruption, signal switchover by a router, etc.) is detected. Faulty ANC data in normal audio signals may also be detected as status changes.
Audio signals with such faulty ANC data may lead the FA-505’s automatic correction to improperly process the audio input and produce noise or mute the audio.
Note that while disabling the automatic correction can prevent such improper processing, the following functions will be affected.
After a signal switchover by router or the recovery of an interrupted SDI signal, delay settings will lose their accuracy to within ±2 msec max.
Audio signal phases among audio groups will not match.

These settings are effective when using AES audio signals to output multi-channel audio signals such as surround sound.
Ch. 1/2-7/8 OFF
OFF Group A Group B
The channel pair with the smallest channel numbers within a group is used as the reference pair and other channel pairs are synchronized to it. If there is no audio signal in the channel pair, the next channel pair will be the reference. Audio signals with a phase difference relative to the reference within ±0.25 of a sample period can be synchronized.
Setting Examples:
When setting all channel pairs Ch 1/2 to 7/8 to Group A
Ch 1/2 will be the reference. Other channel pairs will be synchronized to the word clock of Ch1/2.
When setting channels Ch1/2 to 3/4 to Group A, and channels Ch5/6 to 7/8 to
Group B
Ch 1/2 will be the reference pair for Group A, and Ch 5/6 the reference pair for Group B.
IMPORTANT
Channel pairs in an audio group must be synchronous and must have the same sampling rate. Changing the audio assignment of the reference channel pair may cause noise on other channel pairs within the same audio group.
