The intent of this legislation is to reduce the amount of hazardous chemicals that may leach out of landfill sites or otherwise contaminate the environment during end-of-life recycling. The Directive, which took effect on July 1, 2006, refers to the following hazardous substances:

• Lead (Pb)

• Mercury (Hg)

• Cadmium (Cd)

• Hexavalent Chromium (Cr-V1)

• Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)

• Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)

According to this EU Directive, all products sold in the European Union will be fully RoHS-compliant and “lead-free.” (See our website for more information.) Spare parts supplied for the repair and upgrade of

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Manual Information

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

Installation, Operation, and Specifications

Overview

The SEL-1XD1 and SEL-2XD1 video conversion modules are broadcast-quality up/down/cross converters designed to convert and process signals in both video and audio domains. The SEL-1XD1 and SEL-2XD1 can accept both analog video inputs, and component digital video inputs (SD-SDI, 1.5G HD-SDI, and level A and level B-DL 3G-SDI) with embedded audio and ANC data.

SEL-1FS1 and SEL-2FS1 are auto-timing serial digital frame synchronizers and audio synchronizers.

Functionally, the SEL-1FS1 and SEL-2FS1 are the same as the SEL-1XD1 and SEL-2XD1, but lack the video conversion and advanced video processing capability. Additional audio and video capability is available with expansion modules, which are installed adjacent to FS1 and XD1 modules in a Selenio MCP3 frame.

For information about setting and configuring IP addresses that affect these modules, see the Selenio MCP1 and MCP3 Frame Manuals.

VEX and DDA Internal Connectivity

One Selenio VEX1 video expander module can be connected to either an FS1 or XD1 module. (DDA1 modules also have the capability to operate in the VEX1 video expander mode.) All of these modules have one SDI connection to—and from—every other module in the frame through the controller module. This internal connectivity makes it possible to distribute a non-processed signal to all other modules in the Selenio frame, or provide a distribution function cascading FS1/XD1 output through a maximum of 13 video expanders. Additionally, dual-channel FS1/XD1 modules can provide a 2nd thumbnail/streaming signal.

Installing Selenio Modules

You can insert a Selenio module into a frame with the power supply turned on or off. Follow this procedure:

1. Remove a blank back module from the frame.

Do not discard the blank back modules and their captive screws. You may need them for future configurations.

2. Attach the new back module to the empty slot, using the mounting screws provided.

Align the back module’s pin into the guide hole, and ensure that the EMI gaskets separating the back modules remain in place during the installation. The EMI gaskets fit tightly. To ease the installation of back modules, gradually press each back module into place from the left side to the right side.

Figure 20: Example of Back Module Installation

3. Apply labels to the back module, if these are supplied separately.

4. Print out this page and write down the placement of the back modules in the diagram below (back modules appear on the reverse side when viewed from the front).

Figure 21: Writing Space for Identifying Back Modules

CAUTION: Do not mix and match back and front modules. The front module must mate with a back module of the same product.

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

5. Open the front panel and then slide the correct front modules into the slots that match the back modules.

6. Push the module until it seats properly, ensuring the edge of the module is flush with the edge of the module guides, and the square extractor handle clicks into its slot.

7. Install the remaining back and front modules, make all of the necessary rear connections, and then close the front panel.

CAUTION: To prevent overheating during frame operation, keep the front panel closed and all back module slots covered.

Removing the Front Module

To remove a front module from a Selenio frame, follow this procedure:

1. Open the front panel.

2. Grasp the extractor handle on the module, pulling down slightly.

3. Using the handle, slide the module out of its slot.

Figure 22: Removing a Front Module

4. Close the front panel to ensure proper frame ventilation.

Removing the Back Module

To remove a back module from a video conversion module frame, unscrew the module, and then pull it straight out. Then re-attach a blank back module to ensure proper frame ventilation.

Audio Expansion Modules

Audio expansion modules increase the number of inputs and outputs, and expand the functionality of the FS1 and XD1 modules. When an expansion module is installed beside an applications module, an automatic connection takes place. The Configuration section of the user interface is updated, giving the user setup, control and monitoring functions. Audio signals are automatically connected internally over bidirectional high-speed buses, eliminating the need for external cables.

Up to two audio expansion modules can be placed beside an XD1 or FS1 application module. (Audio expansion modules are installed to the right—in a higher numbered slot—beside an FS1 or XD1.) The two audio expansion modules may be installed in any of the following configurations:

• Analog + Digital

• Digital + Analog

• Digital + Digital

• Analog + Analog

Analog expansion modules use the SEL-BM-AA back module, which connects directly to the front module. However, SEL-BM-AESB AES back modules require an additional submodule, installed at the rear of the front module.

If a SEL-BM-AESB digital back module is installed without this submodule, the expansion module will not be damaged, but it will not provide a signal of any type. On the other hand, if a SEL-BM-AA analog back module is installed with an AES submodule/front module combination, the product will act as an analog expansion module.

For a list of Audio Expansion Configurations, see Table.

Powering Up a Module

When an FS1 or XD1 is first powered up, the module outputs a Cross Hatch/Color Bars test pattern within seven seconds. Usable video is available within approximately 30 seconds. The power consumption of an FS1 or XD1 module is 40 W maximum.

Upgrading Module Firmware

All module firmware upgrades are activated in the frame controller section of the Selenio user interface. Follow this path to find the appropriate parameters: Configuration > Frame Controller > Configuration tab > Upgrade Firmware.

See the Selenio MCP frame manual for information on how to upgrade module firmware. In the unlikely event of an upgrade failure on a SELOPT-DDA1 or SEL-VEX1 module, use the Upgrade Failure Instructions of this manual.

Upgrade Failure Instructions

The FS1, XD1, and audio expansion modules include one user-configurable DIP switch array (SW1), located at the card edge next to the extractor. In normal operation, all four switches are in the Off position, set closest to the card edge. In the unlikely event of corrupted software, you may need to temporarily change the setting of Switch 1 for the failsafe mode override. You would be alerted to this problem if a System Recovery Upgrade Required fault was triggered after an upgrade, and the module had finished rebooting.

If a System Recovery Upgrade Required fault is triggered, you should first try using the alternate firmware (see Activating Alternate Firmware in the frame manual) and then attempt the upgrade again. If this second attempt fails, follow these steps to activate the failsafe mode:

1. Remove the front FS1, XD1, or audio expansion module from the frame.

2. Push Switch 1 to the On position.

Figure 25: DIP Switch Setting for Failsafe Mode

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

3. Reinsert the module.

4. Install the new module software using the Selenio user interface.

5. Remove the module, and then return Switch 1 to the Off position.

6. Reinsert the module.

The module is now running the new software.

License Keys

To add license keys to an FS1or XD1 module, select the Configuration tab in the user interface, select Frame-Controller, and then click License Key Activation. From the licensing table, select the module you

wish to change, enter the license key, and then click Apply. The new options will be available momentarily. (FS1 and XD1 modules do not require a reboot after a license key installation.)

Accessing MIBs

MIB files for all modules can be downloaded directly from any Selenio frame. MIBs are generated on a per-device basis. For example, if there are seven FS1 modules in a frame, only one of the seven 7 MIBs is required, assuming all of the modules are using the same version of software. If the frame includes multiple modules of the same type, but different software versions, the module with the latest version should be used to generate the MIB.

If an older MIB is used with newer firmware (for example, an older version of firmware was used instead of the latest firmware), the new parameters added to the new version will not be available on the MIB, and thus, will not be accessible via the MIB.

Before downloading module MIBs, you must first download the InfrastructureNetwork.mib file. Copy the following into a browser to access the InfrastructureNetwork.mib:

http://<IP address>/InfrastructureNetwork.mib

<IP address> is that of the primary controller in the frame

Once any MIB file is downloaded from the frame, you should rename it immediately to prevent overwriting.

To download a specific module MIB file, copy this line into a browser:

http://<IP address>/mib/slot<slot#>/snmp.mib

<IP address> is that of the primary controller in the frame

<slot#> is the slot in the frame, as seen from the front

Examples:

http://137.237.173.15/mib/slot0/snmp.mib

Accesses the controller MIB from frame 137.237.173.15.

Accesses the MIB for slot 7 from 137.237.173.15

Composite Decoder

Analog Input Pedestal disables the input analog video pedestal for Japanese NTSC (default is Yes).

3D Comb Decoding enables 3D comb filtering for composite video inputs (default is On).

Analog TBC enables time base correction for analog video inputs (default is Off).

Note: Selenio accepts PAL-M composite video that complies to ITU-R BT.470-6 standard (with burst

amplitude of 300mV), as well as a variant that is used commonly in Brasil (with burst amplitude of 287mV). Ensure that you select the correct PAL-M standard for detection. An incorrect standard setting will distort the color level of the video. To select the PAL-M standard for detection, follow Misc > Others

> PAL-M Standard, and then select either Brasil (default) or ITU-BT470-6.

Video Input

The following topics are covered in this section:

• Input Routing (on page 38)

• Auto Routing (on page 39)

• EDH-CRC-SQM 1 and 2 (on page 39)

Note: EXT Video inputs and outputs can be disabled by the Green-Power Save control (Misc > GreenPower Save). If an external video control is grayed out in the user interface, check its power save status.

Input Routing

Processing Channel x Source sets the input video source for the selected processing channel. Options

are:

• Auto (see Auto Routing (on page 39))

• CTR SDI 1 (the currently operating controller)

• EXT Vid 1 (default; from external SDI 1 In fiber or HD-BNC connector)

• EXT Vid 2 (from external SDI 2 In fiber or HD-BNC connector)

The FS1 and XD1 are available with one of the following back module input configurations:

• Two optical SDI SFP inputs

• Two SDI or analog (High-Density) HD-BNCTM inputs

These modules also receive inputs from either the primary or secondary controller module.

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

Any two of the inputs can be selected as processing channels. The FS1 and XD1 can automatically detect input video formats; error monitoring (EDH) is performed when the input format is SD-SDI. HD-SDI inputs are monitored by Cyclic Redundancy Checks (CRC). For any input video format that is not supported by the module, the video signal is treated as an unknown format and the module switches to LOV (Loss of Video) Mode. You can choose to allow unknown or unstable video to Pass Through, Freeze, or be replaced with Black.

Auto Routing

The FS1 and XD1 make it possible to select three different video sources in descending order of preference. In the event that one source fails, the module switches to the "next best" choice. The options are:

• EXT Vid 1 (from external SDI 1 In)

• EXT Vid 2 (from external SDI 2 In)

• CTR SDI (the currently operating controller)

Using the Auto Switch Delay parameter, you can set the amount of delay before the module switches to the next best video source (default is 2 seconds). If the Primary Choice signal returns after the modules are routed to one of the other inputs, the FS1 and XD1 revert back to the Primary Choice signal. (You must set Auto Fallback to Yes for this to occur.)

If you want to be able to manually return to the Primary Choice (instead of allowing it to happen automatically), leave Auto Fallback set to No, and then manually return to the primary signal by setting Force Fallback to Yes.

When Auto Routing occurs, the module triggers an Input Routing Auto Switched fault.

EDH-CRC-SQM 1 and 2

When enabled, these parameters report EDH/CRC errors. Additional status parameters report low/peak Y and C levels.

Audio De-Embedding (DMB)

DMB 1 and DMB 2 Grp x De-embedding Control parameters provide the ability to either repeat or mute the last audio sample when the de-embedder encounters an error. Using the DMB 1 and DMB 2 Grp x DBN Error Reporting parameters, you can configure the module so that these errors are either ignored

or trigger a fault.

The status of the audio de-embedders is reported in the Audio Input Status block.

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

Data De-embedding (DMB)

These parameters operate the de-embedding controls for Closed Captioning, Teletext, Timecode, Brandnet, and generic data passing. For details, see Data Embedding and De-Embedding (on page 62).

Video Sync and Delay

The FS1 and XD1 set the video delay automatically (using the Auto option of the Input Standard Sel parameter) or the modules can use the standard you set manually as the reference. Additionally, you can adjust the timing of the signal using the Frame Delay, Horizontal Phase, and Vertical Phase parameters. The Frame Delay parameter compensates for other external processes by providing a delay of between 0 to 16 frames, in one-frame increments. This delay is in terms of input units. For example, if the input format is SD-SDI, the delay is in terms of 525/625 frames.

On its own, the Sample Rate Conversion block adds delay, relative to the video signal. To correct this synchronization problem, the Video Sync and Delay > Audio/Video Align parameter adds a fixed delay to the video processing path. Select Yes to enable this feature.

Video Proc Amp and Color Corrector x

This group of parameters includes the following controls:

• Proc Amp

• Hard Clip Control, Legalizer

• Color Corrector

Proc Amp

These parameters make it possible to modify the black level, luma gain, chroma gain, and hue.

Clip Control

Y, composite, and GBR levels are adjustable using the parameters in the Clip Control group.

Y levels are enabled and set using White and Black clipping controls.

In the composite realm, FS1 and XD1 modules do not directly output video signals. However, the following composite parameters make it possible to correct the limits of clip, luma, Cb, and Cr before the signal is converted by a downstream NTSC or PAL device. The following video attributes can be modified:

• Cmpst Clip Enable (default is No)

• Cmpst Clip Luma Min (-47.9 mV to 47.9 mV, default is 0.0 mV)

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

• Cmpst Clip Luma Max (636.8 mV to 763.1 mV, default is 700.0 mV)

• Cmpst Clip Cb Min (-380.0 mV to -320.0 mV, default is -380.0 mV)

• Cmpst Clip Cb Max (320.0 mV to 380.0 mV, default is 380.0 mV)

• Cmpst Clip Cr Min (-380.0 mV to -320.0 mV, default is -380.0 mV)

• Cmpst Clip Cr Max (320.0 mV to 380.0 mV, default is 380.0 mV)

GBR levels are enabled, and then limited using maximum and minimum settings.

Color Correction

The color corrector changes the following RGB attributes of an input signal:

• Gain

• Offset

• White Slope

• Black Stretch

• Gamma Correction

These parameters include "lock" options that make it possible for you to adjust all of the options of a particular group in tandem, rather than separately.

White Slope and Black Stretch

The white slope is comprised of G White Knee, B White Knee, R White Knee, and GBR White Knee Lock. Black Stretch includes G Black Knee, B Black Knee, R Black Knee, and GBR Black Knee Lock.

Component knees determine the amount of additional gain applied to segments at the ends of the RGB transfer functions in the look-up tables. The values displayed are a percent of the available correction. A positive white knee increases the slope of the last 15% of RGB values, and decreases the slope of the preceding 15%. A positive black knee parameter will increase the slope of the first 15% of the transfer function by the amount entered and decrease the slope of the next 15%, to return to the unmodified transfer function. Each component knee is added to the total knee (the sum cannot exceed 100%) to produce the correction applied to the respective component.

Gamma Correction

Gamma correction is applied to the RGB as a simple power function, and is applied to each component independently.

Figure 28: Example of Gamma Corrections to R, G, and B

Conversion and Advanced Video Processing (XD1)

Aspect ratio conversion is an important part of video format conversion. The XD1 supports basic predefined arcing controls, custom preset arcing control, code-based automatic arc control, and a highlyconfigurable ARC code-based table. See General Information on ARC and AFD (on page 46) for information about the use of aspect ratio conversion and AFD codes, including graphical representations of ARC and AFD patterns.

Status

These read-only parameters report on the ARC mode, offsets, scale, left and right crop, AFD, and VI of the conversion processing.

AFD Presence and Output

FS1 and XD1 modules have different capabilities for signaling, handling, and insertion of embedded VI, WSS, and AFD.

The FS1 modules can perform two major functions with AFD. They can replace the AFD of an incoming stream with a different set of AFD code generated by the module. Also, FS1 modules can insert new AFD where it currently does not exist, and output a signal that includes newly-created AFD.

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

The XD1 modules have many ANC functions, in addition to the AFD capabilities of the FS1. In XD1 modules, if the incoming signal contains AFD, the module can replace the existing AFD code with updated ARC information. XD1 modules also make it possible for you to create custom AFD rules for non-standard aspect ratio changes.

ARC Control (XD1 Versions Only)

You can set the output in a particular conversion mode by selecting either a standard ARC setting, or one of your own customized preset ARC settings, with an automatic ARC that follows the ARC code embedded in the video.

Depending on the current input/output video standard setting, the XD1 operates in one of four modes: upconversion, crossconversion, downconversion, or SD-ARC.

Mode

The current ARC mode is shown in the ARC Mode Fb parameter in the Status menu.

When input video standards or output video standards change, the module may switch to a different conversion mode, and the required ARC setting may be different. For this reason, the XD1 options are set according to the conversion mode, and you can pre-configure the settings for each mode. When mode switching happens, settings will always take effect immediately.

ARC Control

Set ARC Control > ARC Control to one of the following selections:

• Anamorphic

• 4:3 Pillar Box

• 14:9 Pillar Box

• 16:9 Cut

• 4:3->21:9 Ltr

• 16:9 Letter Box

• 14:9 Letter Box

• 4:3 Cut

• 16:9->21:9 Ltr

• Custom Up/Down/Cross ARC 1-5

• AFD

• AFD-ALTR

• AFD-Custom Map

Note: In some regions, SD-SDI normal analog blanking is not part of the 4:3 active video area, causing the 4:3 image to have an active video length of 702 (PAL/625) or 704 (NTSC/525) instead of 720. In these situations, the ARC will need adjustments. Use the SD Width parameter (Conversion and Advanced

Video Processing x > ARC Control) to set the module to either 720 (default) or 702(PAL)/704(NTSC).

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

AFD-VI-WSS Insertion

The presence of incoming embedded AFD, VI, and WSS data is shown the Status parameters. AFD, VI and WSS data can be passed from input to output, or it can be generated manually or automatically by the FS1 and XD1 module. This function is controlled by the AFD-VI-WSS Insertion options.

The AFD, VI, and WSS Insert parameters also offer the ability to Remove the code.

Set the Current Mode if you want to work in the current conversion mode that you are already using, rather than setting a specific up, down or cross mode.

AFD/VI/WSS Insert

The Pass option allows the incoming AFD code to be inserted unmodified. This option is only supported in SD-ARC and crossconversion modes. In up- or downconversion modes, the Pass option is equivalent to a loss of code, even when an input code is present. When a loss of code occurs, the module will insert your selection from the AFD/VI/WSS Pass on Loss parameters.

If you select Remove, no code is generated by the module. The original input code is removed, except for the following:

• WSS in line 23

• All codes in proc bypass mode.

When you select the Auto option, the module generates code automatically and inserts it. The code can be generated in one of the following scenarios:

• A standard or custom aspect ratio is selected, and the corresponding AFD, VI, or WSS code is inserted.

• The ARC Control parameter is set to AFD, AFD-ALTR, VI, VI-ALTR, WSS, or WSS-ALTR, and the generated output code is based on input code according to the alternate implementations of the standard.

• The ARC Control parameter is set to AFD-Custom Map, VI-Custom Map or WSS - Custom Map, and the output code is generated from the custom map settings.

When you select Custom AFD Map, the output code is generated according to the custom map table.

AFD/VI/WSS Pass On Loss

This parameter controls the passing behavior if the AFD, VI, or WSS signal is lost.

AFD, VI, WSS Custom Mapping

Using the controls in AFD-VI-WSS Custom Mapping, you can define a special mapping table other than the one specified by a standard. Given any input AFD, VI or WSS code, you can define the aspect ratio behavior and output AFD, VI and WSS code independently.

Custom ARC

You can scale and pan the output image to any size and location, using the various parameters of

Custom ARC. These parameters include: Horizontal Offset, Vertical Offset, Horizontal Scale, Vertical Scale, Crop Left, Crop Right, Crop Top, and Crop Bottom. By recalling a standard aspect ratio or a pre-

defined custom aspect ratio preset, you can individually modify—or batch-modify—these parameters.

Live Edit View

The Live Edit View feature makes it possible to visually align various parameters. Select Live Edit View > On to effect immediate ARC output changes.

ARC Mode

Depending on the current input/output video standard setting, the XD1 operates in one of four modes: upconversion, crossconversion, downconversion, or SD-ARC. The current operating mode is shown in the ARC Mode Fb parameter in the Status menu.

When input video standard or output video standards change, the module may switch to a different conversion mode, and the required ARC setting may be different. For this reason, the XD1 options are set according to the conversion mode, and you can pre-configure the settings for each mode. When mode switching happens, settings will always take effect immediately.

Save ARC

Use these presets for saving custom ARC settings. You can save five presets for each type of conversion (up, cross, down, etc.).

Recall ARC

This parameter recalls a pre-existing ARC setting.

Scalar Configuration

These parameters provide a number of controls to optimize your custom ARC settings.

General Information on ARC and AFD

This section includes the following:

• AFD (Active Format Description) (on page 47)

• AFD/ARC Alignment (on page 47)

• AFD, VI, and WSS-Based Aspect Ratio Control (on page 48)

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

AFD (Active Format Description)

Active Format Description (AFD) transmits data in the VANC portion of the SDI signal, enabling both 4:3 and 16:9 television monitors to optimally present video with preset ARC and safe area information. Without AFD, converted video may appear distorted or “cut off” when it appears on different monitors. The FS1 and XD1 can encode or decode AFD; it can also encode or decode earlier Video Index (VI) and Wide Screen Signaling (WSS) formats.

AFD/ARC Alignment

When you use AFD to select your aspect ratio, the module ensures that the AFD codes and associated image will remain in sync. For example, during a hotswitch, the new ARC will only be applied to the new image. There are a few cases which could cause AFD/ARC misalignment:

• The ARC applied is reducing the image vertically such that the new image is less than 60% of the original image.

• The output standard is set to either 1080p/23.98 or 1080p/29.97.

AFD/Non-AFD Comparisons

The figure below shows two comparisons of a signal that is encoded with AFD and without AFD.

AFD Block Diagrams

The illustration below shows different applications of AFD insertion and decoding.

Figure 30: AFD Block Diagram

The AFD feature includes SD-SDI and HD-SDI configurations. See AFD Descriptions (on page 49) for details.

AFD Diagram Explanation

In automatic format description, VI provides embedded code in 525-line and 625-line component digital video signals. This code makes it possible for picture and program related source data to be carried in conjunction with a video signal. WSS is embedded code in a 625-line system. It contains information on the aspect ratio range of the transmitted signal and its position as it would appear on a conventional 4:3 display.

AFD, VI, and WSS-Based Aspect Ratio Control

When you set the ARC Control parameter to follow the aspect ratio codes (AFD, AFD-ALTR, AFD-Custom Map, VI, VI-ALTR, VI-Custom Map, WSS, WSS-ALTR, and WSS-Custom Map), the aspect ratio control is based on input AFD, VI, or WSS code. AFD-Custom Map, VI-Custom Map, and WSS-Custom Map make it possible for you to perform automatic aspect ratio conversions based on the custom defined mapping table. The other options set the ARC to an existing standard. When the input code is missing, the ARC behavior is defined by Loss of AFD ARC, Loss of VI ARC or Loss of WSS ARC. Only one of these options is be enabled at any one time.

Though they are not widely used, some AFD, VI or WSS codes recommend cropping part of the image. When this type of cropping is enabled, the module will take longer to change ARC modes. To create

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

faster ARC transitions, you can disable the cropping using the AFD Crop Enable parameter in ARC Control. When the ARC is based on AFD, VI, or WSS, and the output standard is SD-SDI, you must set the SD Out Aspect Ratio (either 4:3 or 16:9) to ensure you use the correct mapping table.

AFD Descriptions

The following pages show the different AFD code descriptions. Comparable WSS and VI templates are included in the SD-SDI descriptions.

On-Screen Display (OSD)

Both the FS1 and the XD1 have the capability to provide an output with or without on-screen display (OSD). You can select up to ten read-only parameters to appear, using the OSD Sel x parameters. The on-screen read-only values appear when OSD Enable is activated.

Logo 1 and 2

The FS1 and XD1 provide on-screen static logo generation capability, using logos that you store on an SD/SDHC micro memory card. For information on the creation and storage of logo files, see Graphics Storage and Playout Overview (on page 58).

File Select

The Scan Files parameter loads the next set of filenames onto the SD/SDHC micro memory card. Options are Next and Previous. The read-only File x parameters display the available logo files. Use the Select File control to choose the file you need, and the Select Raster parameter to determine the raster size required for the logo.

Raster x

Within the raster sizes of 1080, 720, 625, and 525, you can set the Transparency, X Position, and Y Position.

Graphics Storage and Playout Overview

The MCP FS1 and XD1 store logos on an SD/SDHC micro memory card. (The card must be formatted to FAT 32.) The following memory cards are recommended:

• 1 GB SanDisk

• 4 GB Kingston (SDC4/4GB Class 4)

• 4 GB Lexar (LSDMI4GBASBNA Class 4)

• 4 GB SanDisk (SDSDQM-004G-B35SA Class 4)

To load the graphics, you will need to use the slot located on the card-edge of the FS1 and XD1 module. Logos used by the FS1 and XD1 must be created or saved in the .mg2 file format, and initially stored on an SD or SDHC micro memory card at your PC workstation in the /logos directory. You can remove the micro memory card at any time a logo is being displayed by the module, unless the file is being loaded.

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

Use the LogoCreator software utility (provided on our website) to convert graphics files to the .mg2 format.

Figure 38: Progression of Logo to On-Air Signal

The files that you use as logos must be selected according to the video output standard set on the module's SDI 1 (or SDI 2) Output format. When the output standard changes on the module, the FS1 and XD1 automatically loads files that use the selected output standard.

Basic Steps to Installing Logo Files

If you are starting with existing graphics files, these basic steps are described in the following pages:.

• Step 1: Install LogoCreator Software (on page 59)

• Step 2: Convert Files to the .mg2 Format (on page 60)

• Step 3: Transfer the Logos to the SD/SDHC Card, and to the Module (on page 62)

• Step 4: Set the Parameters and Load the Logo Files (on page 62)

Step 1: Install LogoCreator Software

All logos used by the FS1 and XD1 must be either generated as .mg2 files, or converted to that format. LogoCreator software is contained in the Icon application, found on our website.

For best results, LogoCreator requires a PC with the following system specifications:

• Intel Pentium III processor at 500 MHz or faster

• 512 MB or more of physical memory (RAM)

®

• Microsoft

If a version of LogoCreator already exists on the PC, ensure that you first uninstall the program and restart the computer. Then proceed with the steps below:

1. Close all other software applications running on the PC and then insert the IconTools CD-ROM into the computer’s CD-ROM tray.

2. Using Windows Explorer, browse to the CD-ROM contents, and then double-click the LogoCreator folder.

3. Double-click Setup.exe.

4. When the IconTools 3 Setup box appears, click Next, and then follow the on-screen installation instructions.

Windows® XP, Windows 2000, Windows Vista, or Windows 7

Step 2: Convert Files to the .mg2 Format

Using LogoCreator, you need a source image file for the fill portion of your logo, and a source image file for the key portion. The fill is the picture or image you want to overlay onto the program output. The key is the cutout or shape of the desired logo, which may or may not be the same shape as the fill. Using LogoCreator, you will set the fill and key images to the same size (resolution) as the standard of the FS1 and XD1 output. LogoCreator infers the key from the alpha channel in a targa (.tga) file.

After you save the logo, the logo displays in your LogoCreator workspace. To save your logo files using LogoCreator, follow these steps:

1. In LogoCreator, open the Logo Set-Up dialog box.

When you first open LogoCreator, the Logo Set-Up dialog box opens automatically. If the Logo Set-

Up dialog box is closed, select File > New to open the dialog box.

Figure 39: LogoCreator Setup Dialog Box

Note: If you click the Open button directly in the Logo Set-Up box, the program will only launch files

with a .mg2 prefix. If you attempt to open a file with any other prefix, the program will generate error messages.

2. Click the Logo button to open the Static Logo dialog box.

3. Use the Logo ID box to assign the logo to a specific slot on your IconLogo system.

4. Enter a name for the logo in the Name box.

5. Click the Open button below the Logo Image Preview window.

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

The Open dialog box displays.

6. Select your existing logo file and click the Open button to open the logo in the Static Logo dialog box.

Figure 40: Static Logo Dialog Box

 A preview of the composited logo displays in the Logo Image Preview area.  A preview of the image alpha displays in the Logo Alpha Preview area if the file contains alpha.

7. Select a file to use as the alpha channel for your logo.

You must select a file before you can save the logo.

 To use the original image’s alpha channel, select the Use the alpha key found with image check

box.

 To use a different image for the alpha channel, clear the Use the alpha key found with image

check box, and then click the Open button to select a new file for your alpha channel.

Note: An alpha channel is an 8-bit layer in a graphics file format that is used for expressing

translucency (transparency). Typically, you define the alpha channel on a per-object basis. Different parts of an object will have different levels of transparency depending on how much background you want to show through.

8. Click the Save button in the Static Logo dialog box.

The Save Logo File dialog box opens where you can save your logo as a .mg2 file. Once you save the logo as a .mg2 file, the logo displays in the LogoCreator workspace.

Note: The Logo Position and Opacity controls on the LogoCreator software are not active. These features are controlled by the X Position, Y Position, and Transparency parameters found in the FS1 and XD1 parameter list at Video > Processing Channel 1 and 2 > Logo 1 and 2 > Raster x.

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

Step 3: Transfer the Logos to the SD/SDHC Card, and to the Module

When your logos have been created or converted to the .mg2 format, save them to your computer hard drive before saving them to the SD/SDHC card. Then insert the card into the slot located on the left side of the FS1 and XD1 module.

The Scan Files parameter (Video > Processing Channel x > Logo x > File Select) loads the next set of filenames onto the module for use. From here, you can search for the appropriate file for the video standard you are using.

There are four sets of logo parameters specific to groups of output standards having equivalent raster dimensions. For example, the logo for 1080i59, 1080p25, and 1080p59DL output standards would be configured under the 1080 Raster group.

Step 4: Set the Parameters and Load the Logo Files

Using the FS1 and XD1, you can preset a logo filename and its settings for each output standard. The preset logo will automatically load when the corresponding output standard is selected and becomes the active Output Format (Video > Video Output and Routing).

All of the settings that control and monitor the logos are found at Video > Processing Channel 1 and 2 >

Logo 1 and 2 > Raster x.

Data Embedding and De-Embedding

At this time, Bar Data and Pan-Scan for VI and AFD are not supported in data embedding and deembedding.

XD1 modules support closed captioning, Teletext (OP-47), and timecode. Other ancillary data will be stripped from the output stream, except when the module is in frame sync mode.

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

General

The following topics are covered in this section:

• Source Link and Destination Link (on page 63)

• VPID (Video Payload Identifier) Enable (on page 63)

• VANC Packet Delete Method (on page 63)

Source Link and Destination Link

The Source Link and Destination Link parameters select which link to de-embed and embed, respectively, when the input video is dual-link standard. When the input video or output video is duallink standard, the FS1 and XD1 can only de-embed from—or embed into—one of its links. Although data is normally embedded into Link A, a control is provided to select the link. For input video, the parameter is located at: Data DMB x > General > Source Link. For output video, the data path is Data EMB x > General > Destination Link.

Link selection affects all de-embedded and embedded data, including Closed Captioning, Teletext, Timecode, AFD, generic VANC data, and audio metadata.

VPID (Video Payload Identifier) Enable

When you set VPID Enable to No, the packet descriptor from the input will be stripped out, and not passed to the output.

VANC Packet Delete Method

When you set an FS1 or XD1 module to Proc Bypass mode, the AFD packet and audio metadata packet from the input are preserved in the output. If new AFD packet or audio metadata is inserted into the output, the original packet can be replaced with black pixels, or it can be converted into a Mark for

Deletion packet by changing the original DID/SDID with 80h/00h.

Mark for Deletion is the default setting.

VBI Transfer

The VBI Transfer parameter controls whether to enable VBI Transfer when input and output video standards are the same. The VBI data is transfered in the active horizontal region, not in the HANC of the VBI. For XD1 modules, when the card is not in Proc Bypass mode, VANC data are all stripped out by the processing blocks. The VBI Transfer parameter controls whether to enable VBI Transfer when input and output video standards are the same. When VBI Transfer is enabled, all the VANC data is transferred transparently from input to output. The control is located at: Data EMB x > General > VBI Transfer.

VBI transfer is disabled when the XD1 is in 3D mode and frame rate converter modes.

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

Closed Captioning/Teletext

Based on input and output video standards, an XD1 module performs the following closed captioning transcoding:

• If the input and output video standards are the same, the module de-embeds the CC data and then re-embeds the data on the output program stream without any transcoding.

• If the input format is SD-SDI and the output format is HD-SDI, the module transcodes the analog CC waveform, based on the EIA 608 standard from the SD input stream to ancillary packets based on the EIA 708 standard.

• If the input format is HD-SDI and the output format is SD-SDI, the module transcodes the CC ancillary packets based on the EIA 708 standard from the HD input stream to analog waveform based on the EIA 608 standard.

Although North America has dedicated standards for closed captioning of video (EIA-608 and 708), many countries in Europe and elsewhere have not yet adopted formal standards. For these countries, closed captioning is part of the DVB Teletext System as described in ITU-R BT-653-3. These specifications define all Teletext Systems (A, B, C, D) used in the world and are also known as the World System Teletext (WST). A Teletext system is made of several pages of various data information and CC data is described in one these pages. System B is used in Australia, the UK, and Germany, among other countries.

Australian closed captions are inserted on line 21/334 in analog PAL broadcast signals, as per the ITU-R BT-653-3. When analog PAL is produced or converted to SDTV (625 digital), a digitized version of the closed captioning appears on line 21/334 (in the same way line 21 on NTSC signals is digitized and appears on the line 21 of SD-SDI signals). The ITU-R BT-653-3 document proposed by Free TV Australia indicates how to carry this CC data into the VANC area of SD-and HD-SDI signals by use of the SMPTE 334M VANC embedding protocol. For digital broadcasting, Australia intends to use the ETSI EN 300 472 standard that specifies the conveyance of ITU-R System B Teletext in DVB bit streams.

Setting Closed Captioning and Teletext

To make changes to the default CC and Teletext settings, use the CC/TT Embed and CC/TT Embed Line parameters from Data EMB x > Closed Captioning/Teletext. To verify the presence of embedded CC and TT, see Data DMB x > Closed Captioning/Teletext > CC/TT Present.

An XD1 performs the following Teletext transcoding:

• If the input and output video standards are the same, the module de-embeds the TT data and then re-embeds the data on the output program stream without any transcoding.

• If the input format is SD-SDI and the output format is HD-SDI, the module transcodes the analog TT waveform based on ITU-R BT.653-3 standard (system B only) from the SD input stream to ancillary packets based on the Free TV Australia OP47 standard.

• If the input format is HD and the output format is SD, the module transcodes the TT ancillary packets based on Free TV Australia OP47 standard from the HD input stream to analog waveform based on the ITU-R BT.653-3 standard (system B only).

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

Timecode

The FS1 and XD1 support the following types of timecode:

• D-VITC in SD formats (SMPTE-266M)

• ATC in SD formats (SMPTE-12M-2, formerly RP-188)

• ATC in HD formats (SMPTE-12M-2, formerly RP-188)

• RP196 VITC (RP-196)

• RP196 LTC (RP-196)

The FS1 provides passthrough for timecode; the XD1 supports ancillary timecode insertion to video output, extraction from video input, and conversion between D-VITC and ATC.

The parameters ATC (VITC) Present, ATC (LTC) Present, D-VITC Present, RP196 VITC Present and RP 196

LTC Present in Data DMB x > Timecode indicate the presence of different types of input timecode. In Data DMB x, use the Timecode Input Select parameter to select which detected timecode gets passed to the video output. To translate the input timecode to a specific output timecode, use the Timecode Output Select parameter.

Note: Since RP196 timecode is embedded in the HANC space (as well as ATC timecode if chosen to

embed in HANC), enabling ADS clean in Audio > Embedding > Embedding x > Control will remove all packets in the entire HANC space of the corresponding processing channel. In the XD1 (when in proc bypass mode) and in the FS1 module, this will strip out all HANC timecode packets. The XD1 is not affected by this limitation when it is in conversion mode, since timecode packets are re-embedded to the video after the conversion.

If HANC timecode is to be preserved in proc bypass mode, set the Emb x ADS Clean control to No, and the Emb x Group x Embedding Mode to OverWrite. This will produce the same result as if ADS Clean is enabled.

ARC Code Advanced

Most of the ARC code de-embedding, processing and embedding control can be found at the following locations:

• XD1: Video > Processing Channel x > Conversion > Advanced Video Processing x

• FS1: Video > Processing Channel x > AFD-VI-WSS Processing

The controls related to WSS, VI de-embedding line and WSS, VI and AFD embedding line are located at

Data DMB x > ARC Code Advanced and Data EMB x > ARC Code Advanced.

Brandnet

For XD1 modules, Brandnet transcoding is supported in 525, 720p59 and 1080i59 standards.

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

Generic Data Passing

On XD1 modules, VANC data are removed when video is being processed. The Generic VANC data passing function makes it possible to select one kind of VANC data (identified by its DID/SDID) and pass it from input to output. This requires the configuration of the following parameters: Data DMB x > Generic Data Passing > Data DID (hex) and Data SDID (hex). Field information for the VANC data is also required for the system to understand the nature of the VANC data and pass it properly.

The default value for DID/SDID is ARIB data. When generic data passing is configured to pass ARIB data, the current audio mode is reported, and the output current audio mode is configurable.

Audio Embedding

The following topics are included in this section:

• Handling of Non-PCM/Compressed Audio Signals (on page 66)

• Synchronizing Embedded Non-PCM Audio (see "Audio Embedding Control" on page 67)

• Audio Embedding Control (see "Audio Embedding Modes" on page 67)

• Audio Embedding Modes (on page 67)

• Embedding Errors (on page 72)

• Preventing Embedding Errors (on page 72)

Handling of Non-PCM/Compressed Audio Signals

The FS1 and XD1 modules automatically detect input non-PCM audio signals, such as compressed Dolby E audio, even without the proper C/V bits set (the C/V bits are corrected in this situation). Detected nonPCM audio inputs then automatically bypass the sample rate converter and are embedded in the output SDI stream unprocessed.

You can also manually bypass sample rate conversion using the SRC control parameters located at Audio

> Sync and Delay.

Synchronizing Embedded Non-PCM Audio

Non-PCM embedded audio sources such as Dolby E or Dolby Digital will automatically bypass the audio synchronization feature. When the video frame synchronizer is active, this can cause misalignment of the video-to-audio timing. To resolve this problem, the non-PCM audio sources should pass through the video frame synchronizer—which will automatically add an equal amount of audio delay and video delay. This can be accomplished by simply disabling the audio embedder at the output stage for the associated audio pair. The following conditions apply:

• The ADS Clean feature must be disabled.

• The FS1 module is supported, but the XD1 module must have its processing channel output set to

Proc Bypass.

• Remapping of the embedded audio to different output pairs is not supported.

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

Example

Dolby E is present in input processing channel 1, embedded audio channels 2A and 2B (or, Group 1 Pair

2). To pass this audio pair through the system while maintaining synchronization with video, set the

EMB 1 Grp 1 Pair 2 Embed Control parameter to Disable. This will leave the original embedded audio in this pair intact and not overwritten. Set the EMB 1 ADS Clean parameter to No. For an XD1 module, set the Proc Ch 1 Out Format to Proc Bypass.

Audio Embedding Control

The FS1 and XD1 makes it possible to embed audio on a pair-by-pair basis. Each embedder has four groups, with two pairs in each group. Using the EMB x Grp x Pair x Embed Control parameters, you can embed a single pair of audio at any one time.

Audio Embedding Modes

The audio embedder component in the FS1 and XD1 is composed of several smaller subcomponent blocks:

• One ancillary data stripper (ADS)

• Four audio embedding subcomponents

The first subcomponent is an ancillary data stripper (ADS). This block removes all ancillary data packets in the input SDI stream, prior to embedding.

Following the ADS block are four separate audio-embedding subcomponents. Each subcomponent has the ability to operate on only one audio group, either appending or overwriting a predetermined group onto the SDI stream.

The table below briefly describes the Append, OverWrite, and Auto options available from each of the embedding modes.

Table 7: Embedding Mode Options

Options Description

Append Attempts to insert the audio data and control packets immediately

following the last existing audio data/control packet in the horizontal ancillary region (see Append Embedding (on page 68))

OverWrite Attempts to overwrite existing audio data and control packets of the

same group number with the new audio data (see Overwrite Embedding (on page 70))

Auto Attempts first to overwrite existing audio data and control packets of

the same audio group number; failing that, it appends the new audio data and control packets immediately following the last existing audio data/control packet.

Append Embedding

When you select Append embedding, the FS1 and XD1 attempt to insert the audio data and control packets immediately following the last existing data/control packet in the horizontal ancillary data space (ADS). Append embedding is only valid if the audio group to be embedded does not already exist.

The figure below shows how append embedding appears in the ancillary data space when there is no previous audio or other data.

Figure 41: Append Embedding Mode; Adding Group 1 When No Other Data is Present

When ancillary data exists in the ancillary data space, appended audio appears following that data.

Figure 42: Append Embedding Mode; Adding Group 1 When Ancillary Data is Present

If you attempt to insert audio into Group 1 when Group 1 audio data already exists in the ancillary data space, an error is returned, as shown below.

Figure 43: Append Embedding Mode; Adding Group 1 When Group 1 Already Exists

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

If you insert Group 2 audio when there is pre-existing Group 1 audio in the ancillary data space and no Group 2 audio, the Group 2 audio is inserted following the Group 1 audio.

Figure 44: Append Embedding Mode, Adding Group 2 Following Group 1

If you insert Group 1 audio when there is pre-existing Group 2 audio in the ancillary data space and no Group 1 audio, the Group 1 audio is inserted following the Group 2 audio.

Figure 45: Append Embedding Mode, Adding Group 1 Following Group 2

An audio group cannot be divided. In Append embedding, the audio group is always added following the last block in the ADS. If there is not enough room to append the audio group following the last block of ancillary data or audio in the ADS, the attempt results in an error.

Figure 46: Append Embedding Mode Failure

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

Overwrite Embedding

When you select Overwrite embedding, the module attempts to overwrite any existing audio data and control packets of the same group number with the new audio data. This setting is valid only if the audio group to be embedded already exists. If the new sample distribution does not exactly match the existing audio data packet sample distribution, the embedder marks some audio data packets for deletion (DID word is set to 180h).

Note: To avoid sample distribution issues, activate the ADS Clean feature in the Control section of the Audio Embedder.

When you attempt Overwrite embedding and there is no previous audio (as below), it returns an error because there is nothing to overwrite.

Figure 47: Overwrite Embedding Mode When There is No Pre-existing Audio

The figure below shows how overwrite embedding appears in the ancillary data space when there is ancillary data but no pre-existing group 1 audio.

Audio Embedding Errors

Table 8: Audio Embedding Error Descriptions

Error Description

Group (1–4) Append Embedding Error

This error occurs if the embedder is set to Append mode for a particular audio group, but that audio group already exists in the incoming SDI signal.

In this case, the embedder does not embed another audio data and control packet of the same audio group, as this results in incorrect audio sample distribution.

Group (1–4) Overwrite

This error occurs if the embedder is set to Overwrite mode for a particular audio group, but that audio group does not exist in the incoming SDI signal.

Embed Error

To avoid embedding errors, follow these guidelines:

• Set the embedding mode to Auto.

If the group is present, it will be overwritten; if it is not present, it will be appended. The overwrite and append errors are actually warnings that the operation is not being performed.

• In SD-SDI mode, do not overwrite embedded groups of 20-bit audio samples with groups of 24-bit audio samples.

The required extended data packet information appended to that group may overwrite a preexisting audio group. For 24-bit audio embedding, use the ADS Clean feature provided (see details below).

ADS Clean

Enabling the ADS Clean parameter removes all the audio groups presently embedded in the input SDI stream. This process leaves the ADS region clean prior to audio embedding.

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

By enabling the ADS Clean parameter, you will remove all ancillary data packets in the Horizontal Ancillary data space (HANC). If there are data packets other than audio in the HANC space (for example, RP196 or SMPTE-12M-2 ATC HANC timecode), this data will also be removed along with the audio data.

Therefore, before enabling the ADS Clean parameter, ensure there are no pre-existing non-audio data packets in the HANC space. To overwrite pre-existing audio groups instead of wiping out pre-existing audio data, use the Overwrite embedding feature (page 57 (see "Overwrite Embedding" on page 70)).

Embedding Errors

During the embedding operation, errors may arise for the following reasons:

• An attempt is made to append a group when it is already present

• An attempt is made to overwrite a group when it is not present

• An attempt is made to overwrite a group composed of 20-bit audio samples with a group composed

of 24-bit audio samples

• There is an overflow condition in the ancillary data space

• There is an overflow or underflow of the internal buffer

Preventing Embedding Errors

To avoid embedding errors, follow these guidelines:

• Set the embedding mode to Auto. If the group is present, it will be overwritten; if it is not present, it will be appended. The overwrite and append errors are warnings that the desired operation is not being performed.

• Don’t overwrite embedded groups of 20-bit audio samples with groups of 24-bit audio samples. The required extended data packet information appended to that group may overwrite a pre-existing audio group. For 24-bit audio embedding, use the ADS Clean feature provided.

• Use the ADS Clean feature to avoid ADS overflow situations

Note: The ADS Clean feature has limitations. See page 58 (see "ADS Clean" on page 71

) for details.

Video Output and Routing

The following topics are included in this section:

• Output Format (on page 72)

• Output Routing (on page 73)

• Operation Mode (on page 73)

Output Format

The Output Format controls cover these areas:

• Proc Ch 1 and 2 Out Format (on page 73)

• Output Frame Rate (XD1) (on page 73)

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

Proc Ch 1 and 2 Out Format

Use these controls to select the output video format for processing channel outputs. The Proc Bypass option bypasses the scalar and all processing (noise reduction, detail enhancement, color correction, etc.) but is downstream of the frame synchronization. The default is Follow Ref.

The SEL-1XD1 and SEL-1FS1 have one processing channel. The SEL-2XD1 and SEL-2FS1 have two independent processing channels. All outputs can select the output of one processing channel. The following outputs are available:

• Four main board outputs

• One output to primary and secondary controller modules

All outputs carry the converted program signal (XD1) or a frame sync signal (XD1 and FS1). The converted program signal carries embedded audio, VANC data (WSS/VI/AFD) and CC/TT, Brandnet, and timecode. Conversion is automatic, based on your selected output video standard.

Note: If the output is SD-SDI, AFD and VI cannot be embedded into the same line.

Output Frame Rate (XD1)

The SEL-1XD1 and SEL-2XD1 provide basic automatic frame rate conversion (FRC). (A higher quality linear frame rate converter is also available, with the SELOPT-SK-SC license key option. See Linear Frame Rate Conversion (XD1) (on page 76).

Using the basic automatic FRC, audio/video alignment is variable ±1 frame. There must be a valid reference available for the selected output standard, and you must set the Output Frame Rate in Output Format and Mode. If the input signal has a different frame rate from the output frame rate, the FRC is enabled automatically. In this mode, two independent channels are operating at the same time. One or both of the channels can be used for frame rate conversion.

Output Routing

These controls assign the SDI outputs to their processing channels.

Note: EXT Video inputs and outputs can be disabled by the Green-Power Save control (Misc > GreenPower Save). If an external video control is grayed out in the user interface, check its power save status.

Operation Mode

The following topics are included in this section:

• Dual Channel Operation (on page 74)

• Live I-Wings Mode (on page 74)

• Converter Fast Switch (XD1) (on page 75)

• 3D Modes (on page 76)

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

Dual Channel Operation

In the two-channel versions of the FS1 and XD1, both channels are completely independent except for frame genlock reference. There is one frame reference, and it is shared by all of the modules in each frame.

Live I-Wings Mode

The Live I-Wings mode displays video or graphics on the two "wings" on either side of an SDI signal located within a larger aspect ratio signal (requires the SELOPT-SK-XD dual-channel upgrade license key).

Figure 50: I-Wings Mode

Live I-Wings integrated content insertion keys HD- or SD-SDI content into the sidebar portion of the

output image raster using the module’s internal keyer. This option is useful, for example, in applications where upconversion of SD-SDI 4:3 content is being performed, and insertion of additional content is required in the 16:9 upconverted image raster's sidebars.

To set up the Live I-Wings feature, follow these steps:

1. Ensure that SDI 1 and SDI 2 inputs have compatible frame rates.

An SDI 1 Standard Mismatch or SDI 2 Standard Mismatch alarm is activated if the two inputs are not compatible. In that event, the module automatically generates a black background, replacing the SDI 2 input until a valid input is received.

2. Set the ARC parameters as required.

Live I-Wings will only appear in the background area. Therefore, ARC settings that are anamorphic will block I-Wings from appearing.

3. Select Live I-Wings in the Operation Mode parameter of Output Format and Mode.

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

Figure 51: Creating the Live I- Wings Effect

Converter Fast Switch (XD1)

The Converter Fast Switch mode makes it possible to switch between an HD-SDI signal and an SD-SDI signal without sync problems. To enable this feature, select Operation Mode > Converter Fast Switch. Then select your input standards in Fast Switch Input HD Std Sel and Fast Switch Input SD Std Sel. (HDSDI is always on channel 1; SD-SDI is always on channel 2.)

Once the standards are selected, switching can only happen between these two channels. Depending on the input standard that's feeding into the system, use the corresponding channel parameters for status and controlling. On the output side, there is no additional routing selection. Switching between two processing channels occurs automatically, based on the input standard feeding into the system.

When the XD1 module is in Converter Fast Switch mode, the Frame Delay, H-Phase, and V-Phase for processing channel 2 must follow the Frame Delay, H-Phase and V-Phase settings of processing channel

1. Once enabled, Converter Fast Switch takes effect in 150 ms.

3D Modes

You will need to set the following options when using the 3D feature (XD1 only):

• 3D Left/Right

• 3D Top/Bottom

The following parameters can be used to adjust the left and right images that have been captured from a beam splitter camera setup:

• 3D Horz. Flip (1st channel flip)

• 3D Horz. Flip (2nd channel flip)

• 3D Vert. Flip (1st channel flip)

• 3D Vert. Flip (2nd channel flip)

When the card is in 3D operation mode, the Frame Delay, H-Phase, and V-Phase for processing channel 2 has to follow the Frame Delay, H-Phase, and V-Phase settings for processing channel 1.

The XD1 reports any delay between the two video input channels when 3D is enabled. The module also compensates for this delay so that frame sync drop/repeat operations are synchronized. The read-only 3D Alignment Status parameter (Video Output and Routing > Operation Mode) indicates whether the second channel is ahead of the first channel. 3D Alignment V Offset indicates the amount of vertical delay in lines; 3D Alignment H Offset indicates the amount of horizontal delay in pixels. The maximum number of delay is 3 lines; any delay greater than this amount is out of range and is not compensated by the XD1.

3D Channel Mix provides a frame compatible side/side or over/under (half resolution) 3DTV signal.

To activate the 3D feature, you must first purchase the SELOPT-SK-XD dual-channel upgrade license key.

Note: The VBI transfer feature is disabled when the module is in 3D and frame rate converter modes.

When the conversion involves increasing the frame rate, frames are repeated as required; when converting to a lower frame rate, frames are dropped. All of the frames at the output are identical to the input frames with two exceptions: sometimes a frame is repeated a second time, and sometimes a frame is dropped. If there is a lot of motion in the video, a jerky motion (called judder) may appear when converting from one frame rate to another. This is a normal artifact of basic frame rate conversion. Closed captioning and Teletext are not supported when the FRC is in use.

Linear Frame Rate Conversion (XD1)

The Linear FRC mode on the XD1 provides high video quality frame rate conversion.

To enable this feature, you must install both the dual channel license key and the linear FRC license key. When the module is in Linear FRC, it is reduced to single path functionality; channel 2 processing is disabled. (A block diagram with a single processing channel will appear in the user interface.)

To enable or disable linear frame rate conversion, you must reboot the frame. While the module is in Linear FRC mode, the same frame rate video can continue to pass through.

The following video formats are supported in Linear FRC mode for inputs and outputs:

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

• 59Hz: 525, 720p59, 1080p29, 1080i59, 1080p59, 1080p59DL

• 50Hz: 625, 720p50, 1080p25, 1080i50, 1080p50, 1080p50DL

• 60Hz: 720p60, 1080p30, 1080i60, 1080p60, 1080p60DL

Audio/Video Delay in Linear FRC Mode

When the input and output frame rates are different, the audio and video delay cannot be perfectly matched to achieve proper lip sync. However, because of the nature of FRC, there are worst-case boundaries for the audio/video delay. The worst-case audio delays relative to the video are the following:

• 5 ms of leading audio

• 15 ms of lagging audio

These worst-case boundaries cover all of the supported video format conversions.

Audio Inputs and Outputs

The following topics are covered in this section:

• Inputs (on page 79)

• Audio Expansion Modules (on page 79)

• Outputs (on page 79)

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

Inputs

FS1 and XD1 modules support embedded-audio input, AES audio input, and analog audio input (when using an analog audio expansion module). In addition, they process embedded audio from the SDI video input in SD, HD, or 3G (Level A and Level B-DL) formats, and include two independent audio deembedders—each supporting sixteen mono channels. Any de-embedded group may contain compressed audio, linear PCM, or a combination of both.

When used separately, the XD1 supports up to eight AES inputs.

Note: AES inputs can be disabled by the Green-Power Save control (Misc > Green-Power Save). If an AES input is grayed out in the user interface, check its power save status.

Audio Expansion Modules

Optional analog and AES expansion modules are available to provide additional audio capacity. The AES SELOPT-DAEX-AESCS and SELOPT-AAEX-AABS expansion module supports eight AES inputs, and the analog SELOPT-AAEX1-AABS audio expansion board supports four channel pairs of analog input. Each of the sixteen mono audio channels can be swapped.

In the parameter lists of the FS1 and XD1, expansion module options appear with the prefix Exp. When expansion modules are not installed, these parameters are not visible.

CAUTION: Audio expansion modules and application modules such as the XD1 work as a system. To prevent audio "pops," ensure that you do not perform the following actions when using a live application module:

• Insert or remove an expansion module

• Change the power status of an expansion module

Outputs

The FS1 and XD1 outputs up to 72 audio channels, including the following:

• 16 embedded channels from Embedder 1

• 16 embedded channels from Embedder 2

• 16 channels for up to 8 AES inputs

• 16 channels for up to 8 AES inputs from the optional AES expander module

• 8 analog mono inputs from the optional analog expander module

Additionally, up to 32 channels are available from the optional Advanced Audio Processing block.

Any of these source channels can be routed to any destination.

Figure 53: Audio Status Parameters

Two audio expansion modules can be added alongside the FS1 and XD1 (any combination of balanced AES, unbalanced AES, or analog). An audio expansion module increases the capability of the FS1 and XD1 as follows:

• Eight additional AES inputs and sixteen AES outputs per expansion module

• Four analog channel pair inputs and four analog channel pair outputs (eight mono in each direction)

per expansion module

To obtain balanced input signals, the SEL-AESB Balanced AES balanced audio expander is recommended.

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

AAEX and DAEX Expander Audio Alignment

By default, when an audio expander is installed beside an FS1 or XD1 module, 6 ms of audio delay is added to the non-expander audio channels to provide alignment with expander audio output. This additional delay can be removed using the Expander Audio Align parameter (set to No). When you change the setting in this parameter, there is a brief audio disturbance, during which time audio output from the FS/XD will not be aligned with the expander output.

Installing the Advanced Audio Processing Submodule

To se advanced audio processing feature, you must install the SELOPT-ADVAUD audio submodule and purchase the appropriate software license keys. The audio submodule kit includes the submodule board, two short screws, one longer screw, and one standoff.

Follow these steps to install the audio submodule:

1. Remove the FS1/XD1 module from the MCP frame.

2. Position and align the audio submodule over the three standoffs located between the two silvercolored heatsinks on the FS1/XD1 module.

3. Gently press the submodule into place.

The audio submodule will lock into place as it is inserted into its connector.

4. Insert the three M3X6 mm screws into the standoff holes and lightly tighten all three screws.

5. Slide the FS1/XD1 module back into the frame.

Software Key License Credits Overview

To use the Advanced Audio Processing option, you will need to purchase the SELOPT-ADVAUD audio submodule, and a number of SELOPT-SK-DTS or SELOPT-SK-DDD, or SELOPT-SK-DDE Software Key License Credits. The number of license credits that you need depends on which audio functions you select for DTS Neural, Dolby Digital (AC-3) Decoder, Dolby Digital (AC-3) Encoder, Dolby E Decoder, or Dolby E Encoder.

The DTS Neural UpMix mode, for example, requires three license credits, while the MultiMerge mode requires four. These credits are transferable across different DTS Neural options, and can be used for any combination of DTS Neural Loudness Control, or DTS Neural Surround UpMix, DownMix, and

MultiMerge. However, they can only be used in the FS1 or XD1 module for which they were purchased.

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

Different AAP options require different amounts of MCPS usage (Million Calculations Per Second). The FS1 and XD1 monitor both license credits and MCPS usage, preventing you from enabling too many DTS Neural or Dolby Digital processes at one time (see the table below).

You can perform an offline test to make sure you have the right number of license credits and enough MCPS capacity. Select your proposed options at Miscellaneous > Licensing and MCPS Planner. Then, in the MCPS Usage and Credit Cost field, you can see how many credits and how much MCPS usage you are testing. The AAP MCPS and Credit Remaining fields show how many license credits and how much MCPS capacity are still available. If you exceed your limits, the planner will display a negative number. (In actual use, if you exceed your credits and MCPS limits, the options will not be enabled.)

Dolby Products

The diagrams below show how Dolby is used in typical FS1 and XD1 applications. Dolby Digital (AC-3) and Dolby E decoding takes place at ingest for voice-over.

Figure 55: Dolby Digital Block Diagrams

Figure 56: Dolby E Block Diagrams

Dolby-E Alignment

It is important to maintain a proper timing relationship between the Dolby-E header and the first line of video especially when recording video with embedded audio on tape transports. This is commonly known as the guard band. On the FS1 and XD1, the Dolby-E alignment timing is determined by the value of the SDI 1 or SDI 2 Dolby E Start Line embedder controls in EMB x >Controls.

Note: If Dolby E is embedded, the module’s output frame rate must match the frame rate of the Dolby E stream.

AAP Internal Metadata

The following items are covered in this section:

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

• Dolby Digital (on page 87)

• Dolby E (on page 87)

• Dolby Audio Metadata (on page 87)

• Dual-Input Dolby Decoder (on page 87)

• Decoder Behaviour (on page 88)

• Important Notes (on page 89)

• DTS Neural Products (on page 90)

Dolby Digital

When using Dolby Digital encoding, if you select AAP Internal metadata generator as the Metadata Source one program is available (the Metadata Index parameter is disabled). However, all other

metadata sources have up to eight programs available. Use the Metadata Index parameter to select the program you wish to encode.

Dolby E

Using Dolby E encoding, up to eight metadata programs may be encoded, depending on the setting of the Program Configuration parameter. For example, if you set Program Configuration to 5.1+2, two sets of metadata are encoded (one for 5.1, one for 2). If Program Configuration is set to 8x1, eight sets of metadata are encoded. To configure the metadata settings for each program, navigate to the AAP Internal Metadata menu and select the desired program from the Program Select parameter. Then configure the metadata settings as required.

Note: Dolby E is always in sync with the frame rate of the video. To ensure downstream decoders work correctly, you must make the correct settings in Dolby E Sync Select (default is Processing Ch 1 Output).

Dolby Audio Metadata

When you apply external metadata to the FS1 and XD1, the metadata properties persist even after you remove the external metadata from the module. Performing a Factory Default of the user settings does not clear the metadata properties that were received when external metadata was present. After you remove the external metadata, you must restart the module to clear the metadata properties.

For general information about the use of audio metadata in professional video applications, visit the Dolby Web site at www.dolby.com.

Dual-Input Dolby Decoder

The dual-input Dolby Decoder feature is available for all of the Dolby Decoder modes: Dolby Digital Decoder (M7), Dolby-E Decoder (M8) and Dolby E/Dolby Digital Decoder (M9). Once an AAP is configured in one of the Dolby decoder modes, the Dual-Input function can be activated in the menu (AAP-X Input Routing > AAP-X Dolby Source Select) by selecting the appropriate source into AAP-X Secondary Dolby Source Select (the default is None).

This feature is useful for cases where a PCM program is available on one audio pair and a Dolby program is available on a different audio pair. In such cases, the PCM pair needs to be routed into the primary

SEL-1FS1/SEL-2FS1 and SEL-1XD1/SEL-2XD1 Installation and Operation Manual Installation, Operation, and Specifications

input, and the Dolby pair into the secondary input. The decoder will automatically switch to PCM bypass (from the primary input) whenever the Dolby stream stops.

Ensure that you check the read-only Bitstream Format parameter in the Dolby Decoder menu (within the AAP block) to determine whether PCM input (Non-Dolby) or one of the Dolby inputs is being processed.

The table illustrates the behavior of the decoder. See the additional notes at the bottom of the table.

Notes:

1. PCM = PCM audio or mute

2. AC3 = Dolby Digital stream

3. DE = Dolby-E stream

4. Avoid combinations shown with a gray background in this table. The decoder searches both input streams and locks to the

first stream detected; the search order is input #1, then input #2. As such, the output depends on the alignment of the two input streams relative to each other.

Important Notes

The following important notes apply to the operation of the Dual-Input Dolby Decoder feature:

• The Dual-Input feature is available for all Dolby Decoder modes.

• In Dual-Input mode, inputs may come only from the same audio de-embedder.

• In Dual-Input mode, the secondary input is dedicated for Dolby-only streams.

• Based on its intended use, in Dual-Input mode the primary input is normally PCM.

• In Dual-Input mode, combinations where both inputs are Dolby should be avoided.

DTS Neural Surround Audio UpMix

This section includes the following:

• Overview (on page 93)

• Channel Configurations for DTS Neural UpMix (on page 93)

Overview

The DTS Neural Surround UpMix renders any two channel audio source (stereo, matrix encoded stereo, LtRt, or DTS Neural Surround LwRw) as surround sound. The DTS Neural Surround UpMix can simultaneously position individual elements within the surround field, creating high levels of image stability and granularity. The UpMix technology avoids taking "artistic license" with content by placing audio exactly where it would be heard in a professional LEDE (Live End Dead End) listening environment. For example, mono or pan-pot stereo will image in front of the listener, whereas stereo containing depth information will surround the listener. You can use the DTS Neural Surround UpMix as a standalone unit to monitor stereo production, or you can use it in tandem with the DTS Neural Surround DownMix as a complete 5.1 transport solution. The table below shows an UpMix taking a two-channel audio source (stereo, matrix encoded stereo, LtRt or DTS Neural Surround LwRw) and rendering a 5.1 multi-channel mix.

DTS Neural Surround Audio DownMix

The following topics are covered in this section:

• Overview (on page 95)

• DTS Neural Surround Audio DownMix Parameters (on page 96)

Overview

The DTS Neural Surround DownMix enables 5.1 surround sound to be transported through any stereo infrastructure. The DownMix process is based upon the principle that both natural stereo and 5.1 content are two-dimensional; both contain width and depth spatial attributes.

The DTS Neural Surround DownMix can represent six channels of discreet audio sources in a stereo DownMix by transforming the sources into pure intensity and coherence encoding. By correcting overlaps of the signal sources in intensity, time, coherence, polarity, and phase before the six channels are combined, the DTS Neural Surround DownMix accounts for the problems suffered in traditional matrix encode systems—such as comb filtering, spatial location distortion, etc.

The proprietary DTS Neural Audio "watermark process" faithfully reproduces surround information when it is rendered by the DTS Neural Surround UpMix or any LtRt system. In brief, the DTS Neural Surround DownMix produces a stereo DownMix that accurately represents the original content whether monitored in mono, stereo, matrix or DTS Neural 5.1 Surround Sound.

The diagram below below shows a DownMix taking a multi-channel audio source. The DownMix creates two-channel audio source using the DTS Neural Audio approach of embedding a watermark signal within the stereo audio signal patch. The watermark signal contains spatial and steering positioning information. The resulting stereo audio signal is also known as LwRw.

DTS Neural Surround Audio MultiMerge

The following topics are covered in this section:

• Overview (on page 97)

• DTS Neural Surround Audio MultiMerge Parameters (on page 98)

• Input Selection Mode Option Descriptions (on page 100)

Overview

The DTS Neural Surround MultiMerge enables broadcasters to transition from stereo to 5.1 surround sound, providing viewers with a 24/7 surround sound experience. With MultiMerge in line, 5.1 original content is passed unaffected to the viewer while original stereo content is UpMixed to a 5.1 surround sound image. This provides the viewer with a consistent surround experience.

The transition between 5.1 and stereo occurs seamlessly without the need of operator intervention. By offering a 24/7 5.1 signal, AC3 metadata does not transition between 2/0 and 3/2 mode. This prevents audio clicks, pops, and dropouts. The process also avoids taking "artistic license" with content by placing audio exactly where it would be heard in a professional LEDE (Live End Dead End) listening environment. For example, mono or pan-pot stereo will image in front of the listener, whereas stereo containing depth information, or LtRt encoding, will surround the listener.

You can use the MultiMerge in combination with the DTS Neural Surround DownMix device to pass 5.1 through stereo-only facilities and therefore eliminate the need for costly master control upgrades.

The diagram below shows how the MultiMerge takes a two-channel audio source (stereo, matrix encoded stereo, LtRt or DTS Neural Surround LwRw) and render a 5.1 multi-channel mix; in combination with taking original multi-channel content and creating a stereo DownMixed signal, depending on the input configuration and content source used.
