    The XVP-801i is a highly integrated module designed to synchronize, convert and process HD and SD signals into HD/SD hybrid plants. The XVP-801i can accept either SD or HD inputs and will provide SD and HD outputs simultaneously. Each output path provides the format, color space and aspect ratio conversion necessary to maintain a constant signal format at each of the two outputs.

    ABUS cable supplied with the DAP-781i card must be used to connect the two modules. When using a Quartet 2 housing frame, only one DAP-781i card may be used. The XVP-801i must be installed in the top slot and the DAP-781i in the lower slot (figure 2.1 below) in either side of the frame.

  • Page 11 SD SDI OUT – serial digital video outputs The XVP-801i provides two SD SDI video outputs on BNC connectors, labeled SD SDI OUT 1 and 2. The SDI video signal conforms to the SMPTE 259M-C standard. These serial digital outputs have embedded EDH, but CRC errors detected in the HD input stream are not inserted in the output SD stream.

    As the graphical interface is the most intuitive and easy-to-use method, it will be used as the basis for describing the functionality of the XVP-801i. A full description of how to use the card edge controls and the RCP-100 to access the menus is given in sections 3.2 and 3.3.

  • Page 15 Freeze mode: This is a pull-down menu with three options – OFF, FIELD and BLACK. It determines the mode in which the XVP-801i responds to an input error which can cause a loss of valid output. Note that to use freeze mode capabilities a reference must be present. In that way, when freeze mode is activated (FIELD or BLACK mode), the output will be glitchless in the event of a video input switch (“hotswitch”...
  • Page 16 The ARC processing in the XVP-801i allows a wide range of symmetrical and asymmetrical picture size modification, coupled with cropping and background addition, to be applied to an input signal.
  • Page 17 The Input Screen The Input preview screen shows the portion of the input image which will be presented at the XVP-801i output. It has a pull-down Aspect menu at the top left corner through which the user should set the aspect ratio of the input signal.
  • Page 18 The input screen also shows how much of the input signal will appear at the output after the ARC processing in the XVP-801i. It does so by masking out unused parts of the screen with a black frame. The Output Screen The output screen shows the final result of the ARC processing.
  • Page 19 Presets sub-section Presets Several of the most common conversion situations are pre-programmed into the XVP-801i, and can be quickly accessed. They are illustrated in tables 3.1 and 3.2 on the following pages. Presets changes according to the input’s aspect ratio, and gives different results depending on the output aspect ratio.

  • Page 25 As described in EIA-708-B, closed captioning within an HD signal is embedded in the form of ANC packets. The XVP-801i extracts the NTSC CC bytes from within incoming EIA-708-B DTV closed captions, buffers, and re-inserts the data within line 21 of the output SD signals. Processing is restricted to NTSC CC information only.
  • Page 26 Alternately, if a lack of audio samples is detected, non-PCM audio channels will be muted. Dolby-E audio is supported in the XVP-801i. During frame-sync mode, when input video and reference signals are not synchronized, Dolby-E frames may be skipped or repeated. In addition, non-PCM audio, all level parameters (gain and attenuation) are overridden to prevent any modification of the audio data.
  • Page 27 Figure 3.8 Audio Processing group Fixed Delay sub-tab : although the XVP-801i automatically matches audio and video throughput timing, provision is made for the user to insert an audio delay offset from the nominal value, in order to deal with problems such as lip sync errors and audio phase alignment in the incoming feed.
  • Page 28 This group provides additional audio processing for the 16 audio channels embedded in the HD/SD outputs: audio channels mixing and audio embedding mode. The XVP-801i may be paired with up to two DAP-781i 8 Channel Audio Processors for additional audio channel inputs to the mixers and for discrete AES outputs.

  • Page 30 When companion audio cards such as the DAP-781i are used to provide additional audio channels, the ABUS audio bus links installed audio cards and the XVP-801i. This panel, called ABUS group, is used to instruct the XVP-801i about the presence of installed audio cards and the system configuration.

For SD signals, we strongly recommend using the DNR-111i that provides a more effective 3D adaptive noise reduction and several other sophisticated image enhancement filters.
  • Page 34 XVP Upgrade option: This option can be used to upgrade an XVP-801 - UC, - FSDC, or – XCDC model to a full XVP-801i. The Factory group Load Factory: Clicking this button will reinstate all default parameter values. See the XVP-801i Menu in section 3.4 to see default values for all parameters.
