SD/HD Video Sync

General Function Description

The MC-3.3 SMART CLOCK VR is an universal and high accurate SD/HD video sync master clock generator for standard definition (SD) bi-level and high definition (HD) tri-level video sync signals.

The unit provides different high-stable SD video and HD tri-level sync reference signals for simultaneous synchronization of SD/HD video devices in television stations, video editing suits or film/video copy studios. Referring to this, the MC-3.3 offers extremely high flexibility, 12 outputs in total and a new designed, simple user interface.

One of the design advantages of the MC-3.3 SMART CLOCK VR is its highprecision clock frequency basis, from which all video reference signals are derived simultaneously. As a result, the individual snyc clock signals generated feature the same frequency accuracy and time base! The frequency generation is accurate to < ± 0.5ppm and thus complies with AES 11, Grade 1, as well as broadcast specifications.

The SD bi-level video reference generator supports PAL 25fps, PAL 24fps (so-called ‘Slow-PAL’) NTSC 29.97fps and NTSC 30fps as Black + Burst, com posite sync and color bar. Especially for the PAL 24fps standard a pull down factor of 0.1% can be set additionally to output PAL 23.98fps.

The HD tri-level video reference generator offers 720p, 1080i and 1080p formats with various frame rates. Furthermore, MC-3.3 generates different HD tri-level test patterns as YPrPb component or RGB signals.

The SD and HD video generators are independently adjustable at the same time. A total of six outputs is available for each video standard at the rear. Phase relations of the generated signals will be recognized and tuned automatically.

A new designed, simple user interface enables to install the MC-3.3 without longer training time. Thus, MC-3.3 SMART CLOCK VR offers a flexible solution for every video editing and post production facility.

INSTALLATION

Content of the Box

The unit was packed carefully. Nevertheless we recommend to check the content directly after opening the package:

1 x MC-3.3 SMART CLOCK VR 1 x Power cable 1 x Manual 4 x Rubber feets 1 x Registration card

Placing the Device

The unit should be set up as closely as possible to the devices to which it will be connected, so as to avoid excessive cable lengths. Use the 4 rubber feets enclosed with the appliance and stick them symmetrically on the bottom side of the unit to protect the enclosure and supporting surface from being damaged. When the unit is installed in a rack, the rubber feets cannot be attached to save space.

The device can be mounted into a standard 19“ rack and will require one unit. For this installation MUTEC offers an optional set of rack ears (MW05/19, order no. 8020-035). The mounting depth including the terminals is 175mm/6.9“. Another 150mm/5.9“ should be added for the required cables.

Additional slide-in rails on the rack inside are recommended for safe installation. This will also avoid long-term mechanical deformation of the housing.

If there are any damages please refer to SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, Initial Operation, and WARRANTY REGULATIONS.

Wiring the Video Interfaces

To allow for the distribution of signals, the interfaces of all devices involved must be properly connected to each other, so as to ensure a logical signal flow. Always be sure to connect the video outputs of the MC-3.3 to the corresponding inputs of the devices you wish to feed with the distributed video signal. Cable lengths should be kept as short as possible to minimize signal losses and/or interferences!

For the transmission of video signals electrical, unsymmetrical cables with a resistance of 75 Ω and BNC connectors on both ends are used. Typically, such cables are marked »RG-59U, RG59B/U«.

Additionally, you should make sure that the video inputs to be connected to the MC-3.3’s outputs have a 75 allow for enabling/disabling the termination with a so-called »terminationswitch«, which may be located on the outside or inside of the device.

For devices which have no termination of the video input, you can use an additional BNC-T piece to terminate the input. Plug the T piece with its center connector into the input of the receiving device. Then, connect the cable coming from the MC-3.3 to one of the lateral connectors, and the other connector of the BNC-T piece to a 75 Ω resistor forming the BNC termination.

Basically, you should avoid »looping through« video leads by means of passive BNC-T pieces to preserve the signal quality, as level drops will be the result. If there is no other way to wire your set-up, please make sure that all video inputs (except for the last device in the chain) have their terminations disabled! In a serial video chain only the last clock input should have a termination! Never connect more than three devices in series to one output!

Ω terminating resistor! Most video inputs

It is imperative that the lengths

of all cables connected are largely

the same, as this is the only way to ensure that all devices will be synchronized or feeded in phase (exception: cable tolerances).

Please make sure that the cable used has a resistance of 75 Ω, in compliance with the specifications! If a cable with a different resistance is used, a dramatic deterioration of the signal quality can be the result! In this case, the perfect synchronization or feeding of all devices involved could be impaired.

Generally, there is no difference between the standards 1080i and

1080PsF when using them for sync signals only. The progressive frame is devided into two segments. These segments are comparable to interlaced fields, but there is no motion between the two fields which make the video frame.

When using one of the two

progressive segmented frame

formats, it is not possible to generate and output HD tri-level test patterns.

During switch-over of the HD

video standards or frame rates,

a short interruption in all output signals occurs for maintaining correct phase relations at the outputs.

HD TEST PATTERN

A test pattern in its adjusted color system is sent to both groups of HD

video outputs simultaneously. It is not possible to output a test pattern in both color systems at the same time.

HD TEST PATTERN

This menu enables you to set the internal HD tri-level video reference generator into the test pattern mode. Doing this, the six HD video outputs at the rear will be internally split up into two groups with three outputs of each group:

HD TEST PATTERN OUT 1 / HD TEST PATTERN OUT 2

When using one of the two

progressive segmented frame

formats, it is not possible to generate and output HD tri-level test patterns.

HD TEST PATTERN

Generally, the HD tri-level video reference generator generates Hatch and Flat Field test patterns. These can be output in the RGB or YPrPb colour space.

When powering on the MC-3.3 SMART CLOCK VR for the first time, no LED lights within this function menu. That means, the HD tri-level video reference generator generates no test pattern signals, but HD tri-level video syncs which are sent out to all six outputs at the rear. When you have reached this menu by pressing the MENU button, all four LEDs start to blink. Now press the SELECT button to choose one of the available test patterns – the HD tri-level video reference generator is automatically switched into its test pattern mode and the six HD video outputs at the rear are split up into two groups with three outputs of each group at the same time.

Four common test patterns are avilable within this menu:

YPrPb

RGB

HATCH

FLAT FLIED

HD TEST PATTERN

HATCH

FLAT FLIED

HD TEST PATTERN

This setting outputs a Hatch test pattern within the YPrPb color space.

This setting outputs a Flat Field test pattern within the YPrPb color space.

This setting outputs a Flat Field test pattern within the RGB color space.

If you press the SELECT button furthermore and all four LEDs are blinking simultaneously again, the HD tri-level video reference generator leaves the test pattern mode and starts generating HD tri-level video syncs. The factory default sets the HD test pattern generator to off.
