Configuration Summary
This section provides a summary of all parameters that can be configured
on the 8964DEC module. The video processing configuration is described
by what line types will be affected by the adjustments or choices made. Use
this section in conjunction with the specific configuration method instructions for each configuration type. Table 5 on page 18 provides a summary
in table format of all parameters and their ranges, default values, and
remote, local, and control panel function names and locations for setting
each value.
Video Processing Controls
The 8964DEC provides video processing controls for the decoding process
for all four channels independently. How the video data is processed
depends on what line the video is on. Some processing affects all lines,
other processing affects just the active picture lines, programmable VBI
lines or the fixed VBI lines.
Line Categories
The line categories used in the configuration of the video signal for the
8964DEC are defined as follows:
• F_Active Lines – the portion of the active video that is fixed and always
treated by the module as carrying active video (not programmable).
• P_Active Lines – lines in the active video that can be configured by the
user to carry either active video or be reserved for carrying user data.
8964DEC/-FS Instruction Manual 13
Configuration
• CVBI – the lines in the vertical interval that can be configured by the
user.
•FVBI – the line in the vertical blanking interval that are fixed and are not
configurable.
The line numbers for each category above are defined in Table 3 for both
525 and 625 line rates on the 8964DEC module.

Video Timing and Freeze Controls
With a standard 8964DEC module with no Frame Sync enabled the following Line Sync timing adjustment is available:
•Horizontal Timing – adjusts the horizontal delay on the channel output
in pixels. This will add an additional delay of up to one line.
With an 8964DEC-FS module (8964DEC with Frame Sync enabled, see
Module Option Upgrade on page 51), the following Frame Sync timing
adjustments can be made:
•Horizontal Timing – identical to the line sync timing above.
•Vertical Timing – adjusts vertical delay in line increments.
Also available with the 8964DEC-FS are the following freeze controls:
•None – when signal is lost, no automatic freeze occurs and no manual
freeze is activated.
•AutoBlue – when AutoBlue is enabled on a channel, the output will
automatically freeze to a blue screen when the input signal is lost on
that channel.
Configuration
•AutoFreeze – when AutoFreeze is enabled on a channel, the output will
automatically freeze on the last valid field when the input signal is lost
on that channel.
• Field 1 – manually freezes the output signal on field 1 of the last frame.
• Field 2 – manually freezes the output signal on field 2 of the last frame.
• Frame – manually freezes the output signal on the last frame.
A field freeze provides less resolution and no motion artifacts in the output.
In frame mode, the resolution is higher since both fields are present, but the
presentation of the two fields can cause motion artifacts.
Picture Enhancer Controls
The Picture Enhancer feature is standard on the 8964DEC and 8964DEC-FS
modules. This feature allows separate picture enhancement control on each
channel output. Picture enhancement affects all lines of video.
Use the following controls for picture enhancement:
•Disable – the Picture Enhancer process can be turned off by selecting
Disable.
• Picture enhancement can be enabled by selecting one of three settings,
Low, Medium, or High. Amount of adjustment will depend on picture
type and noise level.

Configuration
Local Onboard Module Configuration
The 8964DEC module can be configured locally using the rotary and
paddle switches. Several LEDs interact with the switches to indicate status
of the configuration process.
Configuration Switches and Controls
Each of the four decoder channels is adjusted separately. Selection of each
channel is done with the paddle switch while in Channel Select Mode as
explained below. Refer to Figure 5 on page 21 for the following descriptions. Use the onboard configuration components as follows:
•SW1 Function (rotary) switch – this switch accesses a desired function
for configuration (see Table 7 on page 24). The switch addresses three
banks of functions; each bank has 16 possible positions (0 through 9 and
A through F). Not all positions are used.
The next bank of functions is accessed each time the Function switch
makes a complete revolution past zero (or back through F): While in
Bank 1, a complete revolution past zero accesses Bank 2; while in
Bank 2, a complete revolution past zero accesses Bank 3. The yellow
2ND LED indicates which bank is currently being accessed.
Note The Function switch should be kept in position 0 in any bank (parked) when
not in use to avoid any inadvertent change in configuration. Position 0 in each
bank is inactive.
•2ND (second Function) yellow LED – when off, indicates that the rotary
switch is addressing the first bank of functions. When on, indicates that
the rotary switch is addressing the second bank of functions. When
flashing, indicates that rotary switch is addressing the third bank of
functions.
•SW4 (paddle) switch – actuates or selects the desired setting or channel
selection for the selected function when the switch is held momentarily
in either the up or down position. Switch between Parameter and
Channel Select Mode with pushbutton SW4.
•CSM (Channel Select Mode) yellow LED – when on, paddle switch is in
Channel Select Mode. Use the paddle switch to select channel 1, 2, 3, or
4. When off, paddle switch is in Parameter mode.
• CM1 and CM0 LEDs – indicate what channel is active for adjustment.
Refer to Table 6 on page 21.
•SW2 (pushbutton) switch – press to toggle assignment of paddle switch
SW2 between Parameter mode (CSM LED off) and Channel Select
Mode (CSM LED on).
• CONF (configuring) yellow LED – when on, indicates the module is initializing or processing configuration information.

Onboard Jumpers
Two onboard jumpers must be set for the following:
• Jumper JP1 allows or locks out (Local) remote control.
• Jumper JP3, OSD enables (OSD_EN pins 2-3) or disables (pins 1-2)
control of the OSD (On Screen Display).
The On Screen Display (OSD) graphic can be enabled on the output of
each channel to allow viewing of the currently selected Rotary switch
function and the currently assigned parameters. The OSD is provided
for an aid in configuring the module in local mode and should be
turned off on each channel with either the local or remote controls
before broadcasting the signal. When control is enabled with jumper
JP3, the OSD for each channel can be turned on or off with either local
or remote controls.

8964DEC Module Onboard Configuration Settings
Onboard configuration is done on a channel-by-channel basis, there is no
gang mode (apply settings to all channels). You may use an on-screen
display on the output of each channel to view the parameters being
adjusted.
Control of the OSD function must first be enabled locally by setting jumper
JP3 (Figure 6) to either disabled (pins 1-2), or enabled (pins 2-3, labeled
OSD_EN). Once OSD control has been enabled with JP3, it can be turned
on or off with individual local channel controls (Bank 1/Position 1) or
through the web browser (refer to OSD Control Web Page on page 47).
To make a configuration setting:
1. Select the channel to be adjusted by pressing pushbutton SW4 to toggle
to the Channel Select Mode (yellow CSM LED on). This allows using
the paddle switch to increment through the channel selections. The
currently selected channel is indicated by the state of the CM1 and CM0
LED. Refer to Table 6 on page 21for reading LED states.
Configuration
2. When the desired channel is active, use pushbutton SW4 to toggle back
to Parameter mode (CSM LED off).
3. Rotate the Function switch to Bank 1 (2ND LED off) or Bank 2
(2ND LED on) or Bank 3 (2ND LED slow flash) and to the desired
function within that bank.
4. Move the paddle switch to the up or down position and hold
momentarily to set the desired function (refer to Table 7 on page 24).
Note Holding the paddle switch in the up or down position for more than a half
second will automatically accelerate through the value range for parameters
with 256 or more values. The full range can be accessed in about 10 seconds.

Service
Service
The 8964DEC modules make extensive use of surface-mount technology
and programmed parts to achieve compact size and adherence to
demanding technical specifications. Circuit modules should not be serviced in the field unless directed otherwise by Customer Service.
If your module is not operating correctly, proceed as follows:
•Check frame and module power and signal present LEDs.
•Verify power at the voltage testpoints (see Figure 29) and check Fuse F1
if no voltage is detected.
•Check for presence and quality of input signals.
•Verify that source equipment is operating correctly.
•Check cable connections.
•Check output connections for correct I/O mapping (correct input connector is used for the corresponding channel output).
Refer to Figure 4 for the location of PWR LED and Table 2 on page 12 for
proper LED indications.
If the module is still not operating correctly, replace it with a known good
spare and return the faulty module to a designated Grass Valley repair
depot. Call your Grass Valley representative for depot location.
Refer to the Contacting Grass Valley at the front of this document for the
Grass Valley Customer Service Information number.

Status Monitoring
This section provides a summary of status monitoring and reporting for a
Gecko 8900 Series system. It also summarizes what status items are
reported and how to enable/disable reporting of each item. There are a
number of ways to monitor status of modules, power supplies, fans and
other status items depending on the method of monitoring being used.
8900 Frame status will report the following items:
• Power supply health,
• Status of fans in the frame front cover,
•Temperature,
•Module health, and
• Frame bus status.
Module health status will report the following items:
• Internal module state (and state of submodule or options enabled)
Status Monitoring
including configuration errors (warning), internal faults, and normal
operation (Pass).
• Signal input states including valid/present (pass), not present or
invalid (warning), not monitored, and not available (no signal inputs).
•Reference input states including locked/valid (pass), not
locked/invalid (warning), and not monitored.
• Signal output states with reporting functionality (reference output).
LEDs
LEDs on modules in the frame and on the front of the 8900TF/TFN frames
indicate status of the frame and the installed power supplies, fans in the
front covers, and modules. (The 8900TX-V/A frames have no LED indicators on the front cover.)
When a red FAULT LED is lit on a frame front cover, the fault will also be
reported on the 8900NET or Frame Monitor module. The LEDs on the front
of these modules can then be read to determine the following fault conditions:
• Power Supply 1 and 2 health,
• Fan rotation status,
• Frame over-temperature condition,
• Frame Bus fault (8900NET only), and
•Module health bus.
8964DEC/-FS Instruction Manual 55
Status Monitoring
Frame Alarm
In general, LED colors used on the frame and modules indicate:
•Green = normal operation, (Pass) or signal present, module locked.
•Red – On continuously = fault condition, flashing = configuration error.
•Yellow – On continuously = active condition (configuration mode or
communication), flashing in sequence = module locator function.
Status LEDs for this module are described in Operation Indicator LEDs on
page 11. LEDs for the 8900NET module are described in the 8900NET
Network Interface Instruction Manual.
A Frame Alarm connection is available on pins 8 and 9 of the RS-232 connector on the rear of 8900 frame (Frame Monitor or 8900NET Network
Interface module required). This will report any of the status items enabled
with the 8900NET or Frame Monitor module configuration DIP switch.
Connection and use of the Frame Alarm is covered in detail in the 8900NET
Network Interface Instruction Manual.
Web Browser Interface
When the 8900NET module is installed in the frame, a web browser GUI
can indicate frame and module status on the following web pages:
• Frame Status web page – reports overall frame and module status in
graphical and text formats.
•Module Status web page – shows specific input and reference signal
status to the module along with enabled options and module versions.
•A Status LED icon on each web page to report communication status
for the frame slot and acts as a link to the Status web page where warnings and faults are displayed (8900NET version 3.0 or later).
In general, graphics and text colors used indicate the following:
•Green = Pass – signal or reference present, no problems detected.
•Red = Fault – fault condition.
•Yellow = Warning – signal is absent, has errors, or is mis-configured.
•Gray = Not monitored (older 8900 module).
•White = Not present.
Status reporting for the frame is enabled or disabled with the configuration
DIP switches on the 8900NET module. Most module status reporting items
can be enabled or disabled on individual configuration web pages.
56 8964DEC/-FS Instruction Manual
SNMP Reporting
The Gecko 8900 Series system uses the Simple Network Monitoring Protocol (SNMP) internet standard for reporting status information to remote
monitoring stations. When SNMP Agent software is installed on the
8900NET module, enabled status reports are sent to an SNMP Manager
such as the Grass Valley’s NetCentral application.
There are both hardware and software report enable switches for each
report. Both must be enabled for the report to be sent. Software report
switches are set on the 8900NET Configuration web page for the Frame, the
8900NET module, and each module slot. Refer to the 8900NET Network
Interface Instruction Manual for installation instructions.
