  • Page 11: Video Processor Description

    Introduction BBG-1040-4x1-CS Functional Description Video Processor Description Input Video Select/Quality Check Functions The input can be selected using DashBoard manual control, set to failover to an alternate input upon loss of the target input, and can be externally selected via a GPIO interface. Reclocked copies of either SDI input can be outputted when selected as a choice on the output crosspoint.
  • Page 12 BBG-1040-4x1-CS Functional Description Note: • The device also provides active (DA-driven) outputs thru RCK/PROC 1 . These outputs are independent of the relay failover function RCK/PROC 4 and will lose signal in the event of a power loss. • The above failover uses basic signal presence as failover criteria and is limited to inputs A and B.
  • Page 13 Introduction BBG-1040-4x1-CS Functional Description Frame Sync Function This function provides for frame sync control using an external looping reference signal, or the input video as a frame sync reference. This function also allows horizontal and/or vertical offset to be added between the output video and the frame sync reference.

  • Page 17: Control And Data Input/Output Interfaces

    Introduction BBG-1040-4x1-CS Functional Description Note: • Clean audio switching is assured only for intentional, controlled switches via user control. Clean audio switching cannot be assured for failover switches. • Clean switching requires that both SDI signals (switch from and switch to) be stable and present.
