1 Product overview
Figure 1: Simplified block diagram of the FRS-HD-XMUX4 card
1.1 Product description
The Flashlink FRS-HD-XMUX4 synchronizes an HD-SDI or an SD-SDI input to a
reference. The reference can be a traditional black & burst signal or a tri-level sync.
The HD-SDI/SD-SDI output can be adjusted relative to the sync signal. The FRS-HDXMUX4 also has a de-glitcher that guarantees error-free synchronous switching.
FRS-HD-XMUX4 can also be used as a frame delay without the reference input. The
adjustable delay is then relative to the input SDI signal.
The audio embedded in the SDI is de-embedded and can be delayed relative to the
video. Each audio stereo pair can also be swapped internally, and the stereo pairs can
be routed in a matrix before being embedded back into the SDI. It is also possible to
disable the embedder function and keep the SDI stream unaltered.
A subset of the user-modifiable parameters of the card can be controlled by switches
on the board, all user-modifiable parameters can be controlled from the MULTICON
GYDA system controller.

3 Configuration
The board can be configured both manually and through the Network control system
Multicon GYDA. Only a subset of the user-configurable parameters is available when
operating in manual mode.
3.1 Manual mode
To reach manual mode DIP24 labeled OVR on the board must be switched on (to the
right in Figure 2) and the board must be re-booted. This takes the board out of Multicon
GYDA control (if the DIP was previously set to off) and into manual control by the DIP
switches and rotary switch. Parameters not controlled by any of these switches are
kept unchanged from previous session (factory default or Multicon GYDA setup).
The Manual mode configuration controls are all found on the front side of the board.
There are three sets of eight DIP switches each, one rotary switch and two push
buttons. The slide switch on the lower right side is set for all modes of operation.
Figure 2: Top view of the component side of the board.
3.1.1 Rotary switch and push buttons
The rotary switch, labeled DLY, adjusts the phase delay from -5 to +4 video lines. The
switch is only functional when a sync signal (black & burst or tri-level) is present at the
sync input. The rotary switch is accessible from the front of the frame when the module
is installed.
The push buttons, labeled INC and DEC, are used to fine adjust the phase delay by
samples. They can adjust the phase delay within +/- ½ video lines for the present video
standard.
3.1.2 Factory reset function
A factory reset sets all parameters of the module back to the state they were in when
the module left the factory. These settings are just a starting condition for the module,
and all subsequent changes by the user will still take effect and be stored.
The factory reset is done by setting the DIP marked F-RESET and OVR both to the on
position, and powering up the module. The inputs should be removed. Then the
module has to be pulled out of the frame (or power to the frame removed), before the
DIP marked F-RESET is put back to the off position and the module powered up again.
The card will then reset. The board must remain powered for at least 10 seconds for all
the factory values to be stored properly.

With a sync-input present,
this sets the minimum
frames delay.
Without a sync-input
present this sets the no. of
frames delay relative to the

3.2 Multicon GYDA mode
All functions of the card can be controlled through the Multicon GYDA control system.
The Multicon GYDA has an information page and a configuration page.
3.2.1 Information page
The information page shows a dynamic block-diagram of the board and some
additional information text. The block diagram updates with the board status, showing
input signal selected and signals missing (by red crosses over signal lines). It also
shows the audio matrix selections that have been made in the configuration page.
Note that if an audio input is not present, the user will still be allowed to
select the input in the matrix, but the output logic will immediately select the
fallback generator as specified by the user. The missing signal source will
be shown in the block-diagram with a red cross over the input line to the
matrix.
The text on the information page gives information about functionality not displayed on
the dynamic block diagram.
The video delay presents the calculated actual delay between input and output video.
3.2.2 Configuration page
The different configuration possibilities are explained in detail in Chapter 5, under the
corresponding functions.
