Switches 3 and 4 – Rotary Switch Settings
The card has additional parameters which will need to be accessed less frequently. These are controlled
via the rotary switches (S3 & S4) and the up/down thumb switch (S2) located on the card edge.
The associated parameter number (00 through 99) is selected with the rotary switches. S3 selects the
"10s" digit, and S4 selects the "1s" digit. For example, setting S3 equal to 3 and S4 equal to 1 selects
parameter 31 (Y channel lift). The thumb switch S2 will increase or decrease the value of the parameter
when pressed up or down. Some parameters have only a binary state. Press S2 up to turn them on, and
down to turn them off.
See Table 3 for a complete list of parameters settable through the rotary switches

Switches 7, 8, 9 and 10

Switches S7, S8, S9 and S10 are used to select SD-SDI or SD analog output on the BNC corresponding
to the switch number. If the switch is UP the output will be SD analog if the switch is DOWN the
output will be SD-SDI.

Status Reporting via LEDs

When the switches S3 and S4 are set to "00" the card is in normal mode. In normal mode the "Lock
Status" LED will blink when there is no signal present, turn solid orange for SD lock and solid green
for HD lock. The "Input Standard" LED will be off if there is an SD signal present, orange if the input
standard is 720 and green for an input standard of 1080.
When adjusting the parameters, the three LEDs on the front card edge will report to the user the value
of the setting. While viewing the card in its vertical position in the frame the top (POWER) LED will
flash the number of 100s, the middle (LOCK STATUS) LED will flash the number of 10s, and the
bottom (INPUT STANDARD) LED will flash the number of 1s. At the start of a numerical report all
the LEDs will blink simultaneously.
Example: the card is reporting a value of 275. The sequence is this: a blink of all LEDs->2 blinks of the
100s LED->7 blinks of the 10s LED->5 blinks of the 1s LED->repeat.
For parameters that have only a binary state the "1s" LED (D14) will turn on for enabled and off for
disabled.
