Introduction
INTRODUCTION
The Digital Processing Systems DPS-475™ and DPS-575Multi-Function Analog/Digital AV Synchronizers are equally suited for analog, digital or hybrid
facilities, and represent the ideal choice for broadcasters making the transition to digital television (DTV). Available in video-only and audio/video configurations, these synchronizers provide an ideal bridge from analog video signals, such as satellite and microwave feeds, to digital production facilities. The DPS-475 is an NTSC-only model while the DPS-575 is an auto-sensing dual-standard (PAL/NTSC) device.
The DPS-475 and DPS-575 offer unparalleled I/O flexibility. Four input and five output formats are provided standard:
Serial Component Digital Video (SDI) input and output
Component Analog Video (Betacam) input and output
S-Video (S-VHS / Hi8) input and output
Composite Video input and output
RGB-S output
DV (IEEE-1394) I/O with transport control is available as an option. A built-in auto­sense TBC circuit provides seamless mode switching between direct color and heterodyne sources such as camcorders and VTRs.
The versatile DPS 12-bit comb filter offers three processing modes: Simple, Adaptive-2D and Adaptive-3D. 3D combing utilizes a proprietary DPS algorithm to combine information from previous frames to eliminate residual subcarrier artifacts, such as cross luminance and cross chrominance. 3D combing can also be applied to non-composite sources, to clean up component video that was previously decoded from a composite source using lower-quality combing in other equipment. Combining the high-quality comb filter with DPS’ proprietary advanced 12-bit analog encoding provides maximum signal transparency and optimum transcoding.
The DPS-475 and DPS-575 also feature adjustable temporal and spatial digital noise reduction, as well as variable 2D filtering with separate horizontal and vertical bandwidth controls. Applying digital bandwidth filtering and noise reduction prior to MPEG encoding can improve overall MPEG performance through entropy reduction.
DPS' exclusive DigiDuplex mode provides bi-directional connectivity between analog tape machines and digital audio/video routing systems. DigiDuplex saves space and money by enabling digital to analog transcoding with simultaneous analog to digital frame synchronization - all in one compact box. In DigiDuplex mode, the unit's SDI video input is routed directly to the analog video outputs, which feed the inputs of an analog device. The analog output of the device can be simultaneously connected to the synchronizer's analog inputs, where it is processed and sent to the SDI video outputs. Conversion between digital and analog audio is handled in a similar fashion.
With the addition of the four-channel audio synchronizer module, the DPS-475 and DPS-575 can provide dual stereo audio and video synchronization in a single rack­unit-high package. The internal audio synchronizer option supports analog, AES/EBU
digital, and embedded SDI and DV audio I/O (with the DV I/O Module installed). All audio outputs are simultaneously active, which enables both analog and digital audio devices to be connected at the same time. All four audio channels can dynamically track the internal delay of the video synchronizer, and a fixed delay can also be specified, ensuring proper lip sync regardless of the program source. Audio test tones can be generated at operator-specified frequencies.
The DPS-475 and DPS-575 are more than just synchronizers. In addition to the features listed above, other functions include: Time Base Corrector, Audio Synchronizer, Digital Framestore with Linear Keyer, Digital Noise Reduction, DV Transcoder (optional), Video AGC, 10-bit Video Test Signal Generator with Zone Plate, Audio Test Signal Generator, VITS Inserter, Video Bandwidth Processor, Serial Digital Audio Embedder/De-Embedder and Animated Logo Inserter (optional). These functions can be accessed from the front panel, or from an optional DPS RC-475™ or RC-4000™ remote control.
The DPS-475 and DPS-575 represent ideal choices for broadcasters transitioning to DTV. When interfacing analog audio and video sources to serial digital equipment, nothing offers their flexibility, performance, reliability or economy.
This manual provides operating instructions for both the DPS-475 (NTSC) and DPS­575 (auto-switching NTSC/PAL). Differences between these two units are noted where applicable.

(these may be pre-installed on your unit)
Mounting
The size of the DPS-475 and DPS-575 allows them to fit into most standard consoles or 19-inch racks. If the unit is to be mounted in a rack, then the included rear support bracket must be used. Care must be taken to select a dry, well-ventilated location with a minimum of dust and vibration. Also, leave sufficient clearance from the unit’s sides to allow for proper air circulation.
After unpacking the unit and before installing it in a console or rack, allow at least 30 minutes for temperatures to equalize and to eliminate any condensation that may have developed.
Hardware Options
If you purchased hardware options such as the Audio Synchronizer Module, the Animated Logo Option, or the DV I/O module separately from the main unit, you will need to install them. Please see Appendix C for detailed instructions for installing your options safely and correctly.

CHAPTER 2: CONNECTIONS
This chapter describes the connections on the DPS-475 and DPS-575 used to interface the unit with other video and audio equipment in your system.
DPS-475AV/575AV: Back Panel
Breakout Cables
Some connections to the DPS-475/575 are provided on the supplied breakout cables. These breakout cables must be connected to the following ports on the back of the unit.
Multi-I/O Breakout Cable
This breakout cable, part number 774-753, connects to the DB-15F high-density connector labeled Multi I/O on the right side of the rear of the unit. This cable provides connections for RGB output, sync/key/auxiliary-composite output, S-Video output, and GPI.
AES/EBU Audio Breakout Cable [on audio-equipped units only]
This breakout cable connects to the DB-25F connector labeled AES/EBU on the rear of the unit. This cable provides connections for AES/EBU audio input and output. The standard AES/EBU Audio Breakout cable (part number 774-755) provides BNC connections; an optional Audio Breakout cable, part number 774-470, provides BNC and XLR connections.
Video Connections
The following are the video connections on the rear of the DPS-475/575, in left-to­right order, followed by those on the supplied breakout cable.
DV Input/Output
This 6-pin IEEE-1394 connector, labeled DV I/O, is used to connect DV (often referred to as “Firewire”) devices. In addition to carrying DV video and audio input and output, this port also provides DV device control, allowing control of the DV device directly from the DPS-475/575. This connection is active only if the optional DV I/O Module is installed.

S-Video Input
The 4-pin connector on the rear of the unit, labeled S-Video, is used for S-Video (Y/C) signals, such as from an S-VHS or Hi8 device. It is normally connected to the S-Video output of a playback VTR using a standard 4-pin to 4-pin S-Video cable. Some JVC ‘industrial’ type S-VHS players use a 7-pin connector for their S-Video output. To interface with such machines, a 7-pin to 4-pin adapter cable is required from the manufacturer of the VTR.
Component Analog V ideo Input
These three BNC connectors, labeled CAV-Y In, R-Y In, and B-Y In, are used to input the signals from analog component devices, such as Betacam® VTRs.
If component analog video input is not needed, the CAV-Y In connection can be reassigned as a second composite video input with the CAV-Y Composite option in the Video Setup menu (see Chapter 5, “Menus: Video Setup”).
Composite Video Input
This BNC connector, labeled Composite In, is used to feed composite 1 Vp-p 75video to the DPS-475/575. In Synchronizer mode, the input video signal must be direct color or monochrome (such as from a satellite feed or live camera); in Timebase Corrector or auto switching mode, the input signal can be connected to the video output of a heterodyne source such as a camcorder or VTR.
Serial Digital Input
This BNC connector, labeled SDI In, accepts serial digital ITU-R BT.601 video and embedded audio data at a rate of 270 megabits per second.
Serial Digital Reclocked Output
This BNC connector, labeled SDI Reclocked, provides a digitally-regenerated copy of the SDI Input, with no processing applied.
Serial Digital Outputs
These BNC connectors, labeled SDI Out and SDI Out-2, provide the processed and synchronized serial digital ITU-R-BT.601 video and embedded audio, 270 megabits­per-second output.
Composite Video Output
These BNC connectors, labeled Composite Out and Composite Out-2, provide processed, synchronized/timebase-corrected versions of any of the input signals. If the unit is set to Bypass mode, the Composite Input is bypassed directly to the Composite
Out output (the left-most of the two connectors), providing an unprocessed signal. Composite Out-2 operates as normal (providing processed output from the selected
video input). The Composite Input is automatically bypassed to the Composite Out output when the unit is off.
Component Analog V ideo Output
These three BNC connectors, labeled CAV-Y Out, R-Y Out, and B-Y Out, provide processed, synchronized/timebase-corrected analog component video output.

Chapter 2:
Connections
Genlock Reference
These BNC connectors, labeled Genlock In and Genlock Loop, are used to loop a genlock signal through the unit to establish the timing for its video output signal. The signal for this input must always be stable, such as the output from a black-burst or color-bar generator. Do not attempt to use a signal that has not been timebase­corrected. When a valid signal is connected to the Genlock In input, the video output of the DPS-475/575 will be genlocked to this signal, and the Genlock LED will be on. When no external reference is supplied to the genlock input, the unit will operate using its own internal sync generator. If the Genlock Loop is unused, terminate it with a 75terminator.
S-Video Output
(on breakout cable)
This 4-pin connector on the Multi-I/O breakout cable provides processed, synchronized/timebase-corrected S-Video (Y/C) output.
RGB(S) Video Output
(on breakout cable)
These four BNC connectors on the Multi-I/O breakout cable, comprising auxiliary Red, Green, Blue, and Sync, provide processed, synchronized/ timebase-corrected RGB(S) [RGB with auxiliary sync] video output. If RGB without auxiliary sync is sufficient, the Aux. Sync connection can be reassigned as an auxiliary Composite output. If RGB(S) output is not required, these outputs can be reconfigured to provide a key channel output.
Auxiliary Composite Output (on breakout cable)
The Aux. Sync connection on the Multi-I/O breakout cable, normally used for sync in RGB(S) [RGB with auxiliary sync] video output, can be reassigned to provide an auxiliary Composite video output with the Aux Sync/Comp option in the Video Setup menu.
Key Output (on breakout cable)
The Aux. Sync connection on the Multi-I/O breakout cable, normally used for sync in RGB(S) [RGB with auxiliary sync] video output, can be reassigned to provide a key channel output with the Aux Output option in the Video Setup menu.
Audio Connections
The DPS-475AV and DPS-575AV can process 2 stereo pairs of analog, AES/EBU, Serial Digital (SDI) or DV audio (with the optional DV I/O Module). The audio inputs can be selected from the front panel or Audio Setup menu, and the operator can specify which of the stereo channels are to be processed. All of the outputs are active simultaneously.
Analog Audio Inputs and Outputs
(Terminal Strips)
Two stereo pairs of analog audio input and output are supported, designated Channel 1 and Channel 2 on the rear of the unit. Each is comprised of a left and right
component. Each analog audio input channel can be configured as 600or high­impedance. Each channel can be configured as balanced or unbalanced.
Two terminal strips (one for channel 1, one for channel 2) provide analog audio connections. Each terminal strip uses the following pinouts:
7
AES/EBU Inputs
(on Audio breakout cable)
Two BNC connectors (one for each of Channel 1 and 2) are provided on the standard Audio breakout cable (part number 774-755) for AES/EBU input.
An optional Audio breakout cable, part number 774-470, provides four connectors for AES/EBU input: two XLR (one for each of Channel 1 and 2), and two BNC (one for each of Channel 1 and 2). The XLR connectors are used for AES/EBU balanced audio input, while the BNC connectors are used for unbalanced AES/EBU input. Note that only two of the above input connections can be used at a time (one for Channel 1, and one for Channel 2), and they must be of the same type (XLR or BNC). The AES Source menu option selects between the XLR and BNC connections.
AES/EBU Outputs
(on Audio breakout cable)
Two BNC connectors (one for each of Channel 1 and 2) are provided on the standard Audio breakout cable (part number 774-755) for AES/EBU output.
An optional Audio breakout cable, part number 774-470, provides four connectors for AES/EBU output: two XLR (one for each of Channel 1 and 2), and two BNC (one for each of Channel 1 and 2). The XLR connectors are used for AES/EBU balanced audio output, while the BNC connectors are used for unbalanced AES/EBU output. Both BNC and XLR output is available concurrently.
Audio Delay Pulse/GPI Output (on Multi-I/O breakout cable)
The general-purpose GPI output, a BNC connection on the Multi-I/O breakout cable, can be configured for use as an audio delay pulse output, to be sent to an external audio delay box or synchronizer.
Serial Digital Embedded Audio Input (SDI)
The unit accepts four channels of embedded audio on the SDI input port. The four channels can be selected from any group on the SDI input.
Serial Digital Embedded Audio Output (SDI)
Any of the selected audio inputs can be embedded into the output of the SDI stream. The operator can select which group of four audio channels (of the 16 available in the SDI format) the output will be embedded into.
Remote Control Ports
In addition to GPI input (for remote triggering of functions such as Freeze) and output (for triggering external devices), all functions of the DPS-475 and DPS-575 can be remotely controlled by devices capable of either RS-232 or RS-422. Two additional remote control methods are supported: DPS Coaxial Network (DCN), for use with controllers such as the DPS RC-4000 and RC-475 Remote Control Systems, and 10BaseT Ethernet networking for control through a TCP/IP-based network. The type of control, and any appropriate parameters, are selected in the System Config menu, under the Remote Control sub-menu (see Chapter 12, “Menus: System Config”).

Chapter 2:
Connections
RS-232 and RS-422
This DB-9F connector, labeled RS-232/422 on the rear panel of the unit, is used to remotely control the DPS-475/575 via either RS-232 or RS-422. When this port is in use, a Unit Address must be set to an appropriate value in the range of 1-127 (see Chapter 12, “Menus: System Config”). This allows the unit to be used in a multi-drop configuration where only the unit addressed will respond to remote commands. The RS-232 port is also used for transferring files to the unit from a Microsoft Windows­based workstation via custom software (included). See Appendix D for information on transferring files from a Microsoft Windows system.
Ethernet Port
The 10BaseT Ethernet connector, labeled Ethernet on the rear of the unit, is used to connect the DPS-475/575 to a TCP/IP-based network for remote control and status monitoring. Control of the unit is then handled through web-browsing software or an RC-475 remote control panel. See Appendix F for details of controlling the unit from your web browser. Ethernet can also be used to control additional DPS-475/575 units from the front panel of this unit. When using Ethernet, the IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway settings of the unit must be configured for your network; your network administrator can provide you with these settings. These settings are located in the System Config menu, under the Remote Control sub-menu (see Chapter 12, “Menus: System Config”).
DCN Port
The BNC connector labeled DCN on the rear of the unit is used to provide a DCN (DPS Coaxial Network) interface for remote control and status monitoring. DCN is a proprietary network in which 75coax is used as a multi-drop, bi-directional network. Using a BNC T-connector on the DPS-475/575, loop coax between each unit and the remote controller (such as the RC-4000 and RC-475). At each end of the chain, install a 75terminator. Every DPS-475/575 is assigned a unique DCN address at the factory, so there is no software configuration required. Maximum cable length (total) in a DCN configuration should be limited to 2000 feet. DCN can also be used to control additional DPS-475/575 units from the front panel of this unit.
Use with RC-4000 and RC-475
DCN is used to control the unit from an RC-4000 remote control panel. The Search for devices menu option on the RC-4000 can be used to find all DPS devices attached
to it’s DCN port and configure itself to control them. This may be done for any number of units at one time. DCN also allows multiple RC-4000s to control a single DPS-475/575.
It is possible to remotely disable and enable the front panel of the DPS-475/575 from the RC-4000 using the “KeyLock” option. If this option is not activated, then it is possible for a local user to modify the remote-user’s settings from the front panel. However, the RC-4000 will periodically poll the device and show the new parameters if the local user changes them. If remote control is the usual case, then it is probably best to disable front-panel access once the device has been installed.
The RC-475 remote control provides an Ethernet port, which permits it to be conveniently connected to a TCP/IP network. For instructions on using the DPS RC­475 remote control, please see the RC-475 manual.
For use with the DPS-475/575, the RC-4000 must have firmware version 1.3c or higher. Note that not all functions of the DPS-475/575 will be accessible through the RC-4000 remote control.
9
GPI Inputs (on Multi-I/O breakout cable)
Two RCA-jack GPI inputs are provided on the Multi-I/O breakout cable. These allow a GPI-based external controller to trigger functions of the unit such as Freeze. The function triggered by each GPI input is configured in the System Config menu, under the Misc. Setup sub-menu (see Chapter 12, “Menus: System Config”).
GPI Output (on Multi-I/O breakout cable)
A user-configurable general-purpose BNC output is provided on the Multi-I/O breakout cable This output can be used for feeding an audio delay pulse to an external audio synchronizer, or can be configured as a GPI output to trigger external devices. The functionality of this output is configured with the GPO Output option in the System Config menu (see Chapter 12, “Menus: System Config”).

Menu options, selections, and feedback are shown on the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) display panel. When the unit is first powered-up, the display will first show the DPS logo and product information, which will then be replaced by the Idle Screen:
The Idle Screen is a real-time status screen which provides feedback about various parameters of the currently selected inputs. The Idle Screen is shown when the user is not adjusting parameters or browsing the menus.
The first three lines of the Idle Screen provide real-time feedback of the Luma, Black, and Chroma levels of the currently selected video input source.
On DPS-475AV and DPS-575AV units , and DPS-475 and DPS-575 units that have the Audio Synchronizer Module installed, the next two lines of the display show real­time feedback of the channel 1 and 2 audio input levels.
On units with the DV I/O Module installed, the bottom line of the Idle Screen displays the current DV Time Code reported by the connected DV device, and just to the left of this, the current DV transport state.
The Machine Name specifed in the System Config menu (see Chapter 12) is also shown on the Idle Screen. On units without DV or audio capability, the Idle Screen will display the current measured video delay through the unit.
Note that at regular intervals, the display will “invert” itself. In the initial state, text and information appears lit, over an “unlit” background. In the inverted state, the background will be lit, with the text and information appearing “unlit” (black). THIS PERIODIC INVERSION IS NORMAL; it does not indicate any kind of problem nor status. The inversion is done to preserve the lifespan of the display panel (leaving the display in a single state can cause display pixels to burn out prematurely).
Resetting the Unit
In the Video Input Selection section of the front panel, just to the right of the CAV and SDI indicators, is a small hole. This hole provides access to the RESET button, which will reset the DPS-475/575 unit. This is equivalent to power-cycling the unit.
Menu Controls
All options and parameters for the DPS-475/575 are accessed through configuration menus, which appear on the display panel. Selecting and using any of the menu and sub-menu options follows the same general procedure. See Chapter 4, “Menu Overview and Feature Cross-Reference,” for a chart of the menu structure.
Moving Through the Menus
1. With the Idle Screen displayed, press the Enter button. (If the Idle Screen is not displayed, press Exit repeatedly until it is.) The display panel will show the Main Menu options.
12
DPS-475/575 Service Manual
Chapter 3:
Operation - Front Panel Controls
2. Scroll through the list using the control knob, until the desired sub-menu is highlighted. Press the Enter button to enter the sub-menu.
3. Use the control knob and Enter button to choose and activate the option you want. If there are further sub-menus, use the procedure in step 2 to select between them, and to select the option you wish to change.
Pressing the Exit button while in a menu or sub-menu will return you to the previous sub-menu, or if you are at the Main Menu, to the Idle Screen.
Changing Parameters
Once you have selected the option you wish to change, use the control knob to set the new value for the parameter. When setting parameters that have discrete value options (such as selecting Field, Frame, or Strobe mode), the control knob will cycle through the valid settings.
For parameters which have a numerical range of values, the display will show both a numeric and a visual representation of the range, and the control knob can be used to set the new value.
Note that adjustments affect the output immediately as the knob is turned.
When setting parameters with a numerical range of values, you can switch the control knob between Fine and Coarse adjustment mode. When you first enter the parameter adjustment screen, the control knob is in Fine mode. Pressing the Enter button switches to Coarse adjustment mode, and the Enter button lights up. This allows you to make large adjustments more quickly. Pressing Enter again returns the control knob to Fine mode.
For example, when setting a parameter, the control knob may adjust the value in increments of 0.02 while in Fine Mode, and 0.50 in Coarse mode.
Pressing the Default button will reset the configuration parameter to its default values. The Default button will be lit whenever the current value of the parameter is equivalent to the default value, whether you reached this value by pressing the Default button, or scrolling to it with the control knob.
Press the Exit button to accept your new value, and return to the previous menu or sub-menu.
Remote Control
By placing the DPS-475/575 in Remote mode, you can control additional DPS­475/575 units on the same DCN or Ethernet network from the front panel of this unit.
Pressing the Remote front-panel key will bring up a list of available units that can be controlled. <local device> will always be an option on this list, representing the unit you are physically using. Use the control knob to scroll through the list of available devices and highlight the unit you wish to control, then press the Enter button to activate it. Selecting <local device> exits Remote mode, resuming normal single-unit operation.
Once you have selected a remote unit to control, all front-panel features operate as if you were actually at the front panel of that remote unit. The VFD display, status indicators and button lights all reflect the status of the remote unit; all buttons and controls, with the exception of the Remote key, control the remote unit, not the one you are physically operating. To stop controlling the remote unit, use the Remote key to select a new unit (or the local device) to control.
The light on the Remote key flashes while the unit is remotely controlling a device.
13
Status Indicators
The status indicator lights provide visual feedback on the current mode and operating conditions of the unit.
Genlock
This light indicates the current status of the external genlock source. If the unit is configured to Auto Genlock mode, this indicator will be lit as long as a stable genlock source is connected to the unit. If no genlock source is present, the unit will automatically switch to Internal Genlock mode, and this indicator will flash.
If the unit is configured to Internal Genlock mode, it will operate on its own internal crystal, and this indicator will be unlit.
EDH
This light indicates the current configuration and status of Error Detection Handling (EDH) in the input Serial Digital video stream. This indicator is unlit when EDH Detection is turned off in the unit.
This indicator will flash briefly when EDH Detection is enabled and EDH errors have been detected and not yet cleared by the operator. The actual count of these errors is reported in the EDH Error Count menu option.
TBC
This light indicates whether or not the composite input signal is being time base corrected by the unit’s TBC circuitry. If the unit is in Synch mode, the internal TBC is not active, and this indicator will be off. If the unit is in TBC mode, the unit will time base correct the input signal (generally for heterodyned signals from sources such as a VTR), and this indicator will be lit. If the unit is in Auto-Switch mode, the unit will sense the incoming composite video signal and select between Synch and TBC modes automatically; in this mode, the indicator will flash when the TBC is active.
Autotrack
This light indicates whether or not the audio Auto Track mode is enabled. When enabled, this indicator will be lit, and the unit will automatically delay the audio data to match the delay of the video data through the synchronizer (up to 4 fields). This indicator will be off when Auto Track is disabled.
DigiDuplex
This light indicates whether or not the unit is in DigiDuplex mode. In DigiDuplex mode, the indicator is lit, and the unit’s SDI video input is routed to the analog video outputs, while the selected analog video input is simultaneously synchronized and sent to the SDI output. With an audio-equipped unit, conversion between digital and analog audio is handled in similar fashion, simultaneously with the video. This indicator is unlit when DigiDuplex mode is off. See Appendix E, “DigiDuplex Mode”, for a detailed explanation of DigiDuplex mode and its settings.
Option
This light indicates the status and/or configuration of the currently installed option card module (if any). The meaning of this indicator varies depending on the particular option installed; please see the documentation for your option module for further details.

Video Input Selection
The current (active) video input format selection is shown by these indicator lights. The current input is selected by pressing the Video In button until the desired input LED becomes lit. Selectable inputs are:
Comp (Composite)
S-Video
CAV (Component Analog Video)
SDI (Serial Digital)
With the optional DV module installed, DV will also be selectable as an input.
If an option card module is installed that includes an additional video input, it will be selectable as Option.
If no input signal is present on the selected video input, the corresponding indicator light will flash.
Audio Input Selection
On DPS-475AV and DPS-575AV units, and DPS-475 and DPS-575 units with the Audio Synchronizer Module installed, the current (active) audio input format selection is shown for each channel by these indicator lights.
Pressing the Audio In button takes you to a menu for selecting the Channel 1 audio input; this is the same as the Ch1-Input menu option. Pressing the Audio In button a second time takes you to a menu for selecting the Channel 2 audio input; this is the same as the Ch2-Input menu option.
Selectable audio inputs are:
Analog
AES/EBU
SDI Embedded
With the optional DV module installed, DV will also be selectable as an input. If an option card module is installed that includes an additional audio input, it will also be selectable.
The selection menus also provide access to two “special” audio modes:
Mute disables audio output; while in this mode, all input source indicator lights for that channel will be on.
Test Tones outputs audio test tones from the unit. The parameters of the test tones (Level, Frequency) are set from the Audio Setup menu (see Chapter 6, “Menus: Audio Setup”). While in Test Tones mode, all input source indicator lights for that channel will flash.
If AFV (Audio-Follows-Video) mode is enabled through the audio menus (see Chapter 6, “Menus: Audio Setup”), the AFV indicator for that channel will be lit. In this mode,
15
each of the selectable video inputs has an audio input selection linked to it. Whenever the video input selection is changed, the audio input selection for any AFV-enabled channel automatically changes correspondingly.
You can override AFV mode by manually selecting a different audio input even when AFV is enabled. This does not, however, turn AFV mode off; the next time the video input selection is changed, the audio will again follow it. AFV mode can only be disabled through the audio menus.
The AFV link to each of the video inputs is set through the Audio Setup menu (see Chapter 6, “Menus: Audio Setup”).
The input selection for channels 1 and 2 cannot be selected independently if 96 kHz AES Output mode (see Chapter 6, “Menus: Audio Setup”) is enabled; they must then always be set to the same input source.
When Dolby-E (Data) Mode is enabled (see Chapter 6, “Menus: Audio Setup”), the audio input selection for channel 1 is locked to AES/EBU, and only this channel supports Dolby-E Data. SDI Embedded Audio cannot be used while in this mode.
Pressing and holding the Audio In button for one second will take you to the Audio Setup menu (the same as is available through the Main Menu), from which you can set additional audio configuration options.
When one input channel is being routed to both output channels through the Channel In->Out or Aud Follows Vid menu options (see Chapter 6, “Menus: Audio Setup” for details), only that input channel’s LED will be lit to indicate the audio input source.
On DPS-475 and DPS-575 units without audio capability, the Audio In button is user­programmable; that is, the user can assign the button to a desired menu function. See the “User-Programmable Keys” section later in this chapter for instructions on assigning this button to a menu function.
Freeze Controls
The freeze controls provide instant access to freezing individual frames or fields of the incoming video source, strobing the incoming video, or performing a 3:2 pulldown on the input source.
Pressing the Frz Mode button takes you to a menu setting for selecting which freeze mode will be applied to the incoming video. This is the same as the Freeze Mode menu option under the Video Setup menu.
Pressing the Frz Mode button multiple times will cycle through the different modes, or the control knob can be used for selection. The available modes are:
Frame - freezes an entire frame of the incoming video
Field - freezes a single field of the incoming video
Strobe - strobes the incoming video
Film - applies a 3:2 pulldown to the incoming video, effectively giving
a simulated 24fps look to the video output
Pressing the Take button activates the selected freeze mode and applies it to the incoming video. The light on the Take button will flash while freeze mode is active. Press Take again to return to the live video feed.
