1 Introduction to Synapse
An Introduction to
Synapse
Synapse is a modular system designed for the broadcast industry.
High density, intuitive operation and high quality processing are
key features of this system. Synapse offers a full range of
converters and processing modules. Please visit the AXON Digital
Design Website at www.axon.tv to obtain the latest information on
our new products and updates.
Local Control Panel
The local control panel gives access to all adjustable parameters
and provides status information for any of the cards in the Synapse
frame, including the Synapse rack controller.
The local control
panel is also used to back-up and restore card set tings. P lease ref er
to the rack controller manuals (RRCxx, RRSxx, ERCxxx and
ERSxxx) for a detailed description of the local control panel, the
way t o s et -up r emote co ntrol over IP and for fram e related s ettin gs
and status information.
Remote Control
Capabilities
The remote control options are
explained in the rack controller
manual. The method of connection to a computer using Ethernet is
also described in the RRC/RRS/ERC/ERS manual.
!
CHECK-OUT: “CORTEX” SOFTWARE WILL
INCREASE SYSTEM FLEXIBILITY OF ONE OR
MORE SYNAPSE FRAMES
Although not required to use Cortex with a Synapse frame, you are
strongly advised to use a remote personal computer or laptop PC
with Axon Cortex installed, as this increases the ease of use and
understanding of the modules.

2 Unpacking and Pl a cement
Unpacking
The Axon Synapse card must be unpacked in an anti-static
environment. Care must be taken NOT to touch components on the
card – always handle the card carefully by the edges. The card
must be stored and shipped in anti-static packaging. Ensuring that
these precautions are followed will prevent premature failure from
components mounted on the board.
Placing the card
The Synapse card can be pl aced vertically in an SFR18 frame or
horizontally in an SFR04 and SFR08 frame. Locate the two guide
slots to be used, slide in the mounted circuit board, and push it
firmly to locate the connectors.
Correct insertion of card is essential as a card that is not located
properly may
show valid indicators, but does not function
correctly.
REMARK: On power up all LEDs will light for a few seconds, this
is the time it takes to initialise the card.
