, s Safe Operating Procedures Operate within the environmental limits specified for the product. • Only authorized, trained personnel should open the product. There are no functions • that require the User to gain access to the interior of the product. EMC / Safety Approvals The equipment has been designed to meet and has been tested against the following harmonized EMC and safety standards:... - Page 7 Unpacking the Sapphire HEVC Decoder The Sapphire HEVC Decoder is provided in dedicated protective packaging as shown below. The Sapphire HEVC Decoder custom packaging should be retained and reused in the event that the Sapphire HEVC Decoder requires onward transportation.
- Page 8 , s Connecting to the Sapphire HEVC Decoder There are two principle modes of operation for the Sapphire HEVC Decoder. Mode 1: 4K Ultra HD Mode. The input video format is 4K Ultra HD Mode 2: HD Mode. The input video format is HD video, this can be up to 4 separate HD video services.
- Page 9 , s Secondary Connections in mode 1 are as follows: Ethernet Network: Ethernet is only required for web browser control of the Sapphire HEVC Decoder, or for Ethernet streaming applications. Both of these are only supported in version 1.4 software or higher. Analogue Audio: These connections are only required if analogue audio is employed.
- Page 10 , s Secondary Connections in mode 2 are as follows: Ethernet Network: Ethernet is only required for web browser control of the Sapphire HEVC Decoder, or for Ethernet streaming applications. Both of these are only supported in version 1.4 software or higher. Analogue Audio: These connections are only required if analogue audio is employed.
- Page 11 With the primary connections in place as described previously, the Sapphire HEVC Decoder is ready to be powered. The Sapphire HEVC Decoder can be powered on by connecting an IEC mains cable to the mains socket and setting the On/Off switch on the front panel to the On position. The front panel switch will illuminate to show that the unit is On.

FORMAT must match the video format generated by the encoder. Ultra Low Delay vs. Low Delay The Sapphire HEVC Decoder has two styles of decoding, Ultra Low Delay and Low Delay. In Ultra Low Delay the Decoder is optimised to minimise end to end video latency. The latencies shown below can be achieved when using a Sapphire HEVC Encoder and Decoder in Ultra Low Delay mode. - Page 13 Sapphire HEVC decoder. When Genlock mode is selected the Sapphire HEVC Decoder must first achieve lock to the Genlock signal, lock can be established by looking at the Genlock Lock status in the status menus.
- Page 14 , s Front Panel Menus Structures Control of the Sapphire HEVC Decoder is achieved by using the Front Panel Display. During boot up the front panel display will show the text ‘INITIALISING…’. This will last for approximately 45 seconds. Until the ‘Status’ screen is shown. The Home screen is the default screen for the Sapphire HEVC Decoder.
