8985FSP/FS SD/HD Frame Sync/Proc Amp Modules

Introduction

This manual covers installation, configuration, and operation for the 8985FSP SD/HD Frame Sync Proc Amp and the 8985FS SD/HD Frame Sync modules.

Note Configuration of this module requires the presence of an 8900NET module

(Net Card) in the GeckoFlex frame. 8900NET software version 4.3.0 is required for updating older version 8985FS/FSP modules to version 1.3.2 and is also recommended for operation.

Module Features

The two versions of the 8985 frame sync module provide various degrees of frame synchronization and video processing for environments utilizing SD and HD signals in both broadcast and ProAV applications. These envi ronments require video signals to be synchronized with other video sources and processed for video quality.

The following features are available with this module series.

• Auto-sensing of input video standard,

• Two module set including a hot-swappable front and rear module.

• Up to ten audio or video modules in the same 2 RU GeckoFlex frame,

• An optional Genlock submodule (8900GEN-SM) mounted on the

• A fiber optic submodule option provides optical input/output inter-

including all 8900 Gecko Series modules.

8985FSP/FS circuit board accepts an external reference (NTSC/PAL color black or Tri-Level Sync) and manages Local reference or two separate frame buses can be enabled when the submodule is installed on the modules in slots 1 and 3 of the frame.

faces for all models. Refer to Table 1 on page 19 for a list of SFP submod- ules used with these modules.

8985FSP/FS — Instruction Manual 9

Introduction

• Supports both HD or SD formats and passes embedded audio present in the incoming video stream.

• Split screen mode allows the input to be compared to the processed output.

• SNMP and product health monitoring is supported through the 8900NET module with applications such as NetCentral.

• Software updating using the NetConfig Networking application.

8985FSP Module

The 8985FSP provides the full spectrum of frame synchronization and video processing with the following list of features:

• Frame Sync (Genlock submodule required).

• Full-featured video processing amplifier allows component level (Y, Cr, Cb) adjustments of video gain and offset, plus phase control (hue), and color saturation adjustment.

• Also clip controls in the video processor for setting percentage of black and white clipping on the luminance channel and white clipping on the C channel.

• Color correction controls adjust RGB gain and offset and gamma correction.

• Two auto-tracking outputs to allow synchronization of audio modules to the Genlock reference.

8985FS Module

The 8985FS provides the same frame synchronization features as the full spectrum model without the processing amplifier or color correction.

10 8985FSP/FS — Instruction Manual

Software Requirements

Installation

8985FSP software version 1.3.2 requires the presence of an 8900NET (Net Card) Network Interface module for configuration. The local front edge configuration controls for this module are not functional.

The latest version is recommended for optimum operation and must be at

4.3.0 for software updating. Check the software version of your 8900NET module by navigating to the Frame Status web page ( and noting the software version given below the frame graphic. Check the Grass Valley ftp server at this link for the latest 8900NET release:

ftp://ftp.grassvalley.com/modular/8900/8900NET

The 8985FSP consists of a front and rear module set that can only be installed into a GeckoFlex frame.

Figure 10 on page 30)

Installation of the 8985 module set is a process of:

1. Determining the placement of the 8985FSP or 8985FS module based on

genlock timing configuration (page 11),

2. Placing the 8900GFR-R rear module in a rear frame slot (page 15),

3. Installing the Genlock submodule option on the front module

(page 16),

4. Placing the front module in the corresponding front slot (page 18),

5. Installing the optional SFP Fiber Optic submodule (page 19), and

6. Cabling the signal ports (page 21).

All GeckoFlex front and rear modules can be inserted and removed from an GeckoFlex frame with power on.

8985FSP/FS Module Placement For Genlock Timing

Before installing the 8985FSP or FS module, you will first need to determine if and how you want to use a genlock reference or the available frame ref erence buses. The genlock timing from an 8900GEN-SM submodule can be utilized in several ways. Refer to the 8900GEN-SM GeckoFlex Genlock Instruction Manual available online for a complete overview of using the genlock reference. This manual can be found in PDF format at the following URL on the Grass Valley web site:

www.grassvalley.com/docs/modular

8985FSP/FS — Instruction Manual 11

Installation

In addition to the capability of providing a local external reference to this specific 8985FSP/FS module with an 8900GEN-SM submodule installed, slots 1 and 3 of the GeckoFlex frame have been specifically designed to dis tribute an independent frame bus reference transmitted from the 8900GEN-SM submodule mounted on an 8985FSP/FS module (or other GeckoFlex module with this capability) configured for this purpose.

The external reference connected to the corresponding Genlock Loop BNCs can be distributed to other modules in the frame that accept a genlock ref erence.

If another 8985FSP/FS module has already been configured and installed for frame bus distribution, you may configure this module’s output timing to lock to the Frame Bus 1 or Frame Bus 2 reference from the other 8985FSP/FS module. In this case, the 8985FSP/FS does not require the use of an additional 8900GEN-SM submodule.

The use of the genlock reference is determined by the setting of the Output Timing on the System Config web page of the module and module place ment in the frame and jumper configuration as summarized below.

• Local Reference – the 8985FSP/FS with an 8900GEN-SM submodule can have a local external reference connected to one of the corresponding Genlock Loop BNCs. This external timing reference will be fed to this specific 8985FSP module only.

• Frame Reference 1 or 2 – when an 8985FSP/FS with an 8900GEN-SM submodule is installed in Slot 1 and/or Slot 3, a frame timing bus can be enabled to distribute the external reference connected to the corresponding Genlock Loop BNCs on the rear module to all modules in the frame that can accept a genlock reference. Slot 1 provides Frame Bus 1 and Slot 3 provides Frame Bus 2.

• Input Video – when no 8900GEN-SM submodule is installed on the 8985FSP/FS, the Output Timing can be set to Input so the output timing will follow the input to the module.

Installation

Module Installation Precautions

Please read and follow the precautions listed below before installing the front and rear modules and any fiber optic option submodules:

• Use standard anti-static procedures during installation. As modules can be installed or removed when the GeckoFlex frame is powered up, before removing the cover, please use an anti-static bracelet tied to a metal part of the frame.

• Install the rear module first, the 8900GEN-SM submodule on the front module (if used), the front module, then the optical submodule option (if used).

• When installing or removing a rear module, loosen or tighten the screws holding the retainer clips to the frame manually with the retainer clip tool provided inside the front cover of the frame or use a 2 mm (5/64”) hex screwdriver. Please do not use an electric screwdriver.

Note On newer 751- version GeckoFlex frames, a Rear Retainer Clip removal tool

and 2 extra retainer clips and screws for installing them are provided on the inside of the frame cover.

• Make every effort to leave the screws holding the retainer clips in place (do not remove them completely). They are very small and can easily drop into other equipment causing a shorting hazard. (Two turns of the screw should be enough to loosen the screws, 3 turns or more will remove it.)

• When installing a rear module, tighten the screws on the retainer clips just until snug. Do not apply more force than is necessary to seat the rear module. The retainer clip screw torque specification is given in the

Mechanical specifications in Table 5 on page 67.

• If using a fiber optic submodule, handle it carefully, use anti-static precautions, and read the Fiber Optic Cleaning Requirement on page 19 before cabling.

Rear Module Installation

8444_23r0

Use retainer clip or needlenose pliers to pull out blank after removing retainer clips

To install the rear module, refer to Figure 2 and the instructions below:

1. To remove a blank rear adapter cover (or a rear module already

present), manually loosen the two screws holding each retainer clip on the rear adapter cover or rear module to the frame with the retainer clip tool provided inside the front cover of the frame (newer model frames only) or a 2 mm (5/64”) hex screwdriver. Do not remove the screws.

Note To remove a rear module already installed, follow the same steps. It is helpful

to first remove the front module so the rear can be pulled out more easily.

2. After loosening the retainer clip screws, pull up on each retainer and

completely remove it, leaving the screws in place.

3. Remove the blank rear adapter cover by inserting needlenose pliers

into the slots in the blank cover and pulling it off.

4. Insert the rear module into the empty slot, guiding it carefully.

5. Replace each retainer clip over the two screws on both sides of the

module and push down to seat the retainer clip.

Installation

6. Tighten the two screws on each retainer clip just until they come into

contract with the retainer clip then tighten about a 1/4 turn more. The retainer clips should not bend or be bowed. The rear retainer clip screw torque specification is 4-5 inch-lb/0.45-0.6Nm).

Note All unused rear slots in a GeckoFlex frame should have a blank rear adapter

cover installed.

Video Inputs

Connect an HD or SD digital video signal to the Coax input at BNC J9, and/or to one or both of the fiber inputs at fiber connector J10 (depending on the type of fiber submodule installed).

Note Refer to Table 3 on page 45 for important video input and external genlock

reference input video frame rate compatibility information.

For fiber optic inputs, a Dual Receiver (RX1 and RX2) or Transceiver (RX1) SFP optical submodule must be installed. Fiber inputs must be enabled with remote controls. Only one video input can be used at a time and must also be selected with remote controls.

Video Outputs

There are four electrical coax video outputs at BNCs J5, J6, J7, and J8.

If a Transceiver SFP optical submodule is installed, one fiber optic output (TX2) is also available. If a Dual Transmitter SFP optical submodule is installed, two fiber optic outputs (TX1 and TX2) are also available. Each fiber optic output must be enabled using local or remote controls. All coax and fiber optic outputs can be active at the same time.

Genlock Loop

BNCs J1 and J3 are looping inputs to support the optional Genlock submodule on the 8985FSP/FS module with an external genlock reference (NTSC/PAL color black or Tri-level sync). Refer to table of compatible frame rates for installing the external genlock reference.

Connect an external reference to J1 or J2 and loop the other input to another device or terminate the unused input.

Auto Tracking Delay Outputs

BNCs J1 and J3 output an auto tracking delay signal that can be fed to audio modules to synchronize the audio to the Genlock reference from the 8985FSP/FS module.

Configuration

The 8985FSP/FS module can only be configured remotely using the 8900NET network interface GUI or a networked Newton control panel. An 8900NET (Net Card) module running software version 4.3.0 or later is rec ommended for optimum operation and required for software updating. (See

Software Requirements on page 11 for instructions for upgrading this

software.)

Refer to the following sections for configuration instructions:

• Configuration Overview (page 25)

• Remote Control and Monitoring (page 28)

• Configuration Parameter Summary (page 75)

Operation of these control types is explained in detail in their respective sections of this manual.

Configuration Overview

This section provides a brief overview of all parameters that can be configured on the 8985 module. Use this section in conjunction with the specific configuration method instructions for each configuration type.

page 75 provides a summary in table format of all parameters and their

ranges, default values, and remote web page and Newton control panel function names and locations for setting each value.

Video Input Selection

Set the type of input connection from a coaxial electrical input or, if an optional SFP Fiber Optic submodule is installed, one of the fiber optic inputs.

System Configuration

System configuration is required for selection of the video input standard, enabling of the colorbars test signal, selection of the output timing source when the Frame Sync option is enabled, and the Reference Restore param eters can be set. A Split Screen mode for comparing the input to the output can also be enabled on the System Config web page.

Ta bl e 9 on

8000GEN-SM Reference Timing

When an 8900GEN-SM submodule is installed as either a local reference to the host module or configured to output frame buses from host modules in slot 1 and slot 3, the genlock timing can be adjusted to match reference timing.

8985FSP/FS — Instruction Manual 25

Configuration

Split Screen Control

A Split Screen function can be enabled for comparing the unprocessed input to the processed output. This function is very useful when using the color correction or video processor controls. The Split Screen orientation can be set vertically or horizontally and can be adjusted for the amount of video to be displayed (10-90%). Interactive Split Screen controls are present on the 8995FSP System Config, Video Processing, and Color Correction web pages.

Video Timing and Loss of Signal Controls

On a 8985FSP/FS module with Frame Sync, the following timing adjustments are available:

• Horizontal Timing – adjusts the horizontal delay of the channel output in pixels

• Vertical Timing – adjusts vertical delay in line increments

Also available on the 8985FSP with Frame Sync are the following controls for setting the output condition when there is a loss of input signal:

• Auto Blue – when Auto Blue is enabled on a channel, the output will automatically freeze to a blue screen when the input signal is lost on the input.

• Auto Freeze – when Auto Freeze is enabled on a channel, the output will automatically freeze on the last valid field when the input signal is lost on the input.

• A Manual freeze can be performed at any time with the following two choices:

•Frame

• Field

Note 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.

• Multi-frame Delay – up to 6 frames of delay can be added to the signal as needed. When the H and V Timing controls are set to maximum, the total delay of the module can be 8 frames (when selected)

• Minimum Delay Mode – the module can be set for minimum delay mode that bypasses portions of the frame sync memory to allow an absolute minimum amount of delay through the module. This mode is for special cases where the input is synchronous and its position with respect to the reference is well known.

Minimum Delay is not

26 8985FSP/FS — Instruction Manual

Color Correction

On the 8985FSP module, color correction controls are provided for making RGB gain, offset and gamma correction adjustments. Each color channel can be adjusted separately or a total gain or total gamma can be applied to all channels.

Gamma controls brighten and darken the gray intensity of the signal. Raising the gamma above 1.0, brightens the gray intensity. Lowering the gamma below 1.0, darkens the gray intensity.

Video Processing Adjustments

On the 8985FSP module, component level (Y, Cr, Cb) adjustments are provided in the Video processor for video gain and offset, chroma gain, phase control (hue), and color saturation. Each color component can be adjusted separately or the total gain can be adjusted.

Y/C clipping controls are available in the Video Proc for adjusting the top (white) and bottom (black) luminance levels and the white clipping on chrominance channel of the output signal (C White Clip).

Configuration

User Settings

Module default parameters and default signal names can be recalled at any time for the entire module or subsets of parameters such as the color cor rector or video processor.

On the web pages, a Defaults button at the bottom of each applicable web page is available to return the parameters on that page to the factory defaults.

Save and load module configuration to/from a file are also provided on the web pages.

Video Outputs

When there is a Dual Transmitter (2 outputs) or Transceiver (1 output) fiber optic submodule installed, one or both fiber outputs must be enabled for operation.

8985FSP/FS — Instruction Manual 27

Configuration

Remote Configuration and Monitoring

8985FSP and FS module configuration and monitoring must be performed using a web browser GUI interface or a networked Newton Control Panel when the 8900NET Network Interface module is present in the GeckoFlex frame. Each of these interfaces is described below.

Note The local configuration switches are present but not active on this module.

8900NET Module Information

Refer to the 8900NET Network Interface Module Instruction Manual for information on the 8900NET Network Interface module and setting up and operating the GeckoFlex frame network.

Note The 8900NET module in the GeckoFlex frame must be running software

version 4.3.0 or higher for proper remote control panel operation and software updating. Upgrade software and instructions for the 8900NET can be downloaded from the Grass Valley ftp site.

Newton Control Panel Configuration

A Newton Control Panel (hard and/or soft version) can be interfaced to the GeckoFlex frame over the local network. Refer to the documentation that accompanies the Newton Modular Control System for installation, config uration, and operation information.

Control panel access offers the following considerations for module configuration and monitoring:

• Ability to separate system level tasks from operation ones, minimizing the potential for on-air mistakes.

• Ability to group modular products—regardless of their physical locations—into logical groups (channels) that you can easily manipulate with user-configured knobs.

• Update software for applicable modules and assign frame and panel IP addresses with the NetConfig Networking application.

• Recommended for real-time control of module configuration parameters, providing the fastest response time.

Note Not all module functions are available with the control panel, such as E-MEM

and factory default recalls. The available control panel controls for the 8985 module are listed in Table 9 on page 75.

An example of the Newton Configurator is shown in Figure 9 on page 29.

The signal and genlock status of each reference source will be reported in the Status and Genlock columns.

When a Secondary reference source is selected that is different than the Primary, the module can be configured to switch automatically to the Secondary selected if the Primary is lost or becomes unlocked or invalid. If you do not want this action of switching to a secondary, set the Primary and Sec ondary sources to the same source or set the Switch to Primary control below to

Reference Restore

If the Primary source has failed and a Secondary source is selected and valid, the following controls allow you to set the module to switch back to the Primary automatically or manually and determine the amount of time before the Primary is restored.

• Switch to Primary – set this control to Manual if you wish to manually return to the Primary reference when it becomes valid or locked again

Primary – Secondary Phase Difference

This graphic is provided to show the total phase difference between the Primary and Secondary reference signals. When the bar is green and remains in the area before the horizontal indicator, the two references are in a range where switching between the two will show no measurable distur bance in the output video (approximately 72 nS).

When the phase difference is larger than the recommended amount, the bar will indicate by showing a second red bar. This indicates that the phase dif ference is now such that switching between the two references will show a disturbance in the output video. This can be caused by a loss of one of the references or a mis-adjustment in the reference output delay of either refer ence. The total phase error shown in this graphic represents approximately 1 uS.

If the red bar appears, check the System Config page for the presence and lock status of both the Primary and Secondary references. If there is a timing difference, use the Genlock web page timing controls to bring the two references into the green bar range. Refer to the

Minimum Delay Mode

A Minimum Delay Mode can be enabled to bypass portions of the frame sync memory to allow an absolute minimum amount of delay through the module.

The Delay Wrap Position indicator will display with a blue bar, the fraction of the final frame of actual video delay through the frame sync. It will not indicate if multiple frames have been selected with the Multi-Frame Delay control.

For example, with 1080i video and Minimum Delay Mode not selected, if 600 lines plus 5 frames of delay is entered by the user, that actual delay through the module will be anywhere from about 6 to 7 frames depending on the following conditions:

• If the module is in Delay (Input-Timed) Mode, the delay through the

module will be about 6.5 frames, and the Delay Wrap Position will be at about 50% of full scale.

• If the module is in Frame Sync (Genlock) Mode, the delay through the

module will be about 6.5 frames if the input video has zero delay with respect to the genlock reference frame position, and the Delay Wrap Position will be at about 50% of full scale. As this input video delay with respect to the genlock reference frame position is changed from

-0.5 to +0.5 frame periods, the delay through the module will change from about 6 to 7 frame periods, with the Delay Wrap Position changing from about 0 to 100% of full scale.

Figure 23 on page 50.

In summary, the Electrical Length of the module can be estimated as the following:

• 1 frame minus 5 lines (Minimum Delay Mode not selected), or

• 150 pixels (Minimum Delay Mode selected) + Multi-Frame Delay +

Delay Wrap Position (% of full scale) X (1 frame period).

The User input delay is specified as 0 to 6 full frames. plus one frame in pixels and lines. The Delay Wrap Position on the Frame Sync web page roughly indicates what fraction of that last frame of adjustable delay is being used. Because the input video delay with respect to genlock frame position can vary, the Delay Wrap Position with respect to User Input Delay will vary.

Full Frame Mode always has at least 1 frame minus 5 lines of electrical length.

Video distortion can occur with User Input Delay that gives ~150 pixels of electrical length. Increase the delay to give a total of ~300 pixels of delay for the optimum minimum delay setting.

8985FSP/FS — Instruction Manual 69

Status Monitoring Summary

There are a number of ways to monitor frame and module status. These methods are summarized here. For more detailed information, refer to the

8900NET (Net Card) Network Interface Module Instruction Manual and the 8900 Gecko or 8900 GeckoFlex Frame Instruction Manuals.

All modular product documentation is available on-line in PDF format at this link:

www.grassvalley.com/docs/modular

The main status monitoring methods include the following:

• External frame alarm output on the rear of the 8900 frame with

reporting from the Module Health Bus and other frame status alarm reports,

• LEDs on the Frame, 8900NET module, and individual frame media

modules,

• Web browser status reporting for each frame component, and

• SNMP traps, captured by Grass Valley’s NetCentral or another SNMP

Manager Application.

Note SNMP trap information is only available when an SNMP Agent has been

installed and configured.

External Frame Alarm

An external Frame Alarm output is available on pins 8 and 9 of the RS-232 connector on the rear of the frame. The Frame Alarm outputs a voltage level indicating there is an alarm condition on the Module Health Bus or one of the other frame components reported to the Frame Monitor module in a Gecko 8900TF or GeckoFlex 8900FF frame or the 8900NET module in an 8900TFN and GeckoFlex 8900FFN frame.

• The Module Health bus is a separate line on the frame motherboard

that provides a means for older or less capable modules (such as DAs with no microprocessor) that cannot communicate over the Frame (serial) bus to report warning and alarm conditions to the external Frame Alarm. All media modules in the frame report a voltage level to this line when a warning condition occurs on the module. The specific warning or module location is not reported, only an indication that an warning condition has occurred.

• Frame alarm reporting from other frame components can be enabled

and disabled using DIP switches on the Frame Monitor and 8900NET module. For frames with an 8900NET module, the Frame Alarm Reporting web page allows configuration of the alarms and warnings that are reported to this external Frame Health Alarm.

70 8985FSP/FS — Instruction Manual

LED Reporting

LEDs on the front of media modules, the Frame Monitor or 8900NET modules, and the front covers of the 8900TF/TFN and GeckoFlex FF/FFN frames indicate status of the frame and the installed power supplies, fans in the front covers, and module status. (The 8900TX-V/A and GeckoFlex 8900FX frames have no LED indicators on the front cover.)

LED reporting from the modules in the frame to the 8900NET module is configurable using the 8900NET LED Reporting web page. LEDs for the 8900NET module are described in the 8900NET (Net Card) Network Interface Instruction Manual.

The Status LEDs for this module are described in Operation Indicator LEDs

on page 23.

Web Browser Interface

The 8900NET module controls a web browser GUI that indicates frame and module status on the following web pages:

Status Monitoring Summary

• Frame Status web page – reports overall frame and module status in colored graphical and text formats. Refer to the Figure 10 on page 30 for an example.

•Module Status web page (Figure 10 on page 30) – shows specific input and reference signal configuration error status to the module along with module status and information (part number, serial number, hardware version, software/firmware/boot versions, and Asset number (as assigned on the Slot Config web page).

• A Status LED icon on each web page reflects the module status on the module Status web page where warnings and faults are displayed and is a link to the module Status web page.

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.

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.

8985FSP/FS — Instruction Manual 71

Service

Power-Up Diagnostic Failure

Troubleshooting

The 8985FSP/FS modules make extensive use of surface-mount technology and programmed parts to achieve compact size and adherence to demanding technical specifications. Circuit boards should not be serviced in the field unless directed otherwise by Customer Service.

If the module has not passed self-diagnostics, do not attempt to troubleshoot. Return the unit to Grass Valley (see Module Repair below).

Electronic Circuit Breaker

An electronic circuit breaker on the module works during a fault condition or an overcurrent to cut off power to the module in place of a fuse.

If power has been cut off to module, remove the module and replace it in the frame to reset. If the problem persists contact Grass Valley Customer Service.

Module Repair

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 Customer Service representative for depot locations.

Contacting Grass Valley

If you need to contact Grass Valley for any module issues, refer to Contacting Grass Valley on page 4 at the front of this document for the Grass

Valley Customer Service Information number.
