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

Introduction

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

Module Features

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

The following features are available with this module series.

• 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, including all 8900 Gecko Series modules.

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

• A fiber optic submodule option provides optical input/output interfaces for all models. One of three different types of single-mode fiber optic submodules can be used:

• 1310NM-DTL – provides two optical outputs (TX 1 and TX 2)

• 1310NM-DRL – provides two optical inputs (RX 1 and RX 2).

• 1310NM-TRL – provides one optical input (RX 2) and one optical

output (TX 1).

8985FSP/FS/PRC — 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.

• Configuration of modules can be done using local front edge controls or with an 8900NET module in the frame, using a web browser or the Newton Control Panel.

• 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.

• 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.

8985PRC Module

The 8985PRC offers the full-spectrum of video processing controls described above to correct colors and avoid illegal signal levels for applica tions not requiring a timed signal.

8985FSP/FS/PRC — Instruction Manual 11

Installation

The 8985FSP consists of a front and rear module set that installs into a GeckoFlex frame.

Note These modules can only be installed in a GeckoFlex frame. However, older

8900 legacy modules can be installed in this frame and require either an 8900V-R or 8900A-R rear module.

Installation of the 8985 module set is a process of:

1. Determining the placement of the 8985 module based on genlock

timing configuration,

2. Placing the 8900GFR-R rear module in a rear frame slot,

3. Installing the Genlock submodule option on the front module,

4. Placing the front module in the corresponding front slot,

5. Installing the optional SFP Fiber Optic submodule, and

6. Cabling the signal ports.

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

Module Placement in the GeckoFlex Frame

There are ten front and rear cell locations in the 2 RU Gecko Flex frame

Figure 1) to accommodate either audio or analog and digital video module

( sets. The 8985 module set uses the 8900GFR-R rear module that can be installed in any one of the ten rear locations.

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.

Audio/Video Module

GeckoFlex Genlock submodule links.

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 distribute 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 reference.

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 placement 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.

Configuration Overview

Configuration

The 8985 module can only be configured remotely using the 8900NET network interface GUI or a networked Newton control panel. The 8900NET module must be running software version 4.0.2 or later. (See

Requirements on page 11 for instructions for upgrading this software.)

Refer to the following sections for configuration instructions:

• Configuration Overview (page 23)

• Remote Control and Monitoring (page 26)

• Configuration Parameter Summary (page 75)

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

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.

Software

Ta bl e 6 on

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 the input type and line rate and selection of the output timing source when the Frame Sync option is enabled.

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/PRC — Instruction Manual 23

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%).

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.

Color Correction

Color correction controls are provided for making RGB gain, offset and gamma correction adjustments. Each color channel can be adjusted sepa rately 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.

In frame mode, the resolution is higher since both fields are present, but the presentation of the two fields can cause motion artifacts.

24 8985FSP/FS/PRC — Instruction Manual

Video Processing Adjustments

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.

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.

Configuration

Video Outputs

When there is a 1310NM-DTL (2 outputs) or 1310NM-TRL (1 output) fiber optic submodule installed, one or both fiber outputs must be enabled for operation.

8985FSP/FS/PRC — Instruction Manual 25

Configuration

Remote Configuration and Monitoring

8985 module configuration and monitoring can 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.

Local/Remote Jumper

The on-board jumper Local/Remote jumper, J5, must be set for local and remote operation (LOC/REM position, pins 2-3) or to lock out remote control (LOCAL position, pins 1-2).

Local/Remote Jumper, J5

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 4.0.1 or higher for proper remote and control panel operation. Upgrade software and instructions for the 8900NET can be downloaded from the Grass Valley web site.

26 8985FSP/FS/PRC — Instruction Manual

Newton Control Panel Configuration

A Newton Control Panel (hard 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 loca-

tions—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 parame-

ters, providing the fastest response time.

Configuration

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 6 on page 75.

An example of the Newton Configurator is shown in Figure 10.

Configuration

Web Browser Interface

The web browser interface provides a graphical representation of module configuration and monitoring.

Use of the web interface offers the following considerations:

• Provides complete access to all module status and configuration functions, including naming of inputs and outputs, factory parameter and name default recalls, E-MEM functions, slot configuration, and SNMP monitoring controls.

• Web access will require some normal network time delays for processing of information.

• Configuration parameter changes may require pressing

Enter, upload processing time, and a manual screen refresh to become

effective.

• Web interface recommended for setting up module signal and slot names, E-MEMS, and reporting status for SNMP and monitoring.

Refer to the Frame Status page shown in Figure 11 on page 29. The modules can be addressed by clicking either on a specific module icon in the frame status display or on a module name or slot number in the link list on the left.

Note The physical appearance of the menu displays on the web pages shown in

this manual represent the use of a particular platform, browser and version of 8900NET module software. They are provided for reference only. Displays will differ depending on the type of platform and browser you are using and the version of the 8900NET software installed in your system.

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 difference 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 reference. The total phase error shown in this graphic represents approximately 1 uS.

Frame Sync Web Page

The Frame Sync web page (Figure 24 on page 48 for Local or Reference Bus reference and Figure 25 on page 49 for Input reference) provides horizontal and vertical timing and loss of signal controls for the 8985FSP module.

Use this link

Note The controls available on the Frame Sync page depend on the Output Timing

Source selected on the System Config web page.

Minimum Delay Mode

A minimum delay can be enabled to bypass portions of the frame sync memory to allow an absolute minimum amount of delay through the module. To enable this mode, check the trical Length Specifications on page 65 for notes on using this mode.

Timing Adjustment

When the Frame Sync option is present and the Local output timing source is selected, horizontal and vertical timing adjustments can be made on the output video as required relative to the external reference with the fol lowing controls

• H Timing (Pixels) – the horizontal timing can be adjusted in pixels relative to the external reference.

V Timing (Lines) – the vertical timing can be adjusted in lines relative to

• the external reference.

Multi-Frame Delay – this control allows you to add up to 6 frames of delay.

• When the H and V Timing controls are set to maximum, the total delay of the module will be 8 frames (when selected).

Delay Wrap Position

This 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:

a. 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.

b. 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.

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).

Status Monitoring

This section provides a summary of status monitoring and reporting for a GeckoFlex 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.

LEDs

8900 Frame status will report the following items:

• Power supply health

• Status of fans in the frame front cover

• Temperature,

• Module health

• Frame bus status

Module health status will report the following items:

• Internal module state (and state of submodule or options enabled)

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.

LEDs on modules in the frame and on the front of the 8900TF/TFN and GeckoFlex frames indicate status of the frame and the installed power sup plies, fans in the front covers, and modules. (The 8900TX-V/A frames have no LED indicators on the front cover.)

68 8985FSP/FS/PRC — Instruction Manual

Status Monitoring

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)

• Module health bus

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 21. LEDs for the 8900NET module are described in the 8900NET

Network Interface Instruction Manual. The LED reporting can be disabled to the 8900NET module using the LED Reporting web page.

Frame Alarm

A Frame Alarm connection is available on pins 8 and 9 of the RS-232 connector on the rear of GeckoFlex 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 module versions.

• A Statu s LED icon on e ach w eb pag e to rep ort co mmun icati on st atus f or the frame slot and acts as a link to the Status page where warnings and faults are displayed (8900NET version 3.0 or later).

• 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.

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 page for the Frame, the 8900NET module, and each module slot. Refer to the 8900NET Network

Interface Instruction Manual for installation instructions.

Service

Power-Up Diagnostic Failure

Troubleshooting

Service

The 8985FSP 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).

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.

Refer to Contacting Grass Valley on page 4 at the front of this document for the Grass Valley Customer Service contact information.
