Example of changing With the display as shown below parameters using front panel control RRC18 [Select Card] >S01=SFS10 Pressing the ► selects the SFS10 in frame slot 01. The display changes to indicate that the SFS10 has been selected. In this example the Settings menu item is indicated. -
Page 11: Axon Cortex Software
Axon Cortex Software can be used to change the settings of Synapse Axon Cortex Software modules from a PC, either locally or remotely. The software enables communication based on TCP/IP between the setup PC and Synapse frames/modules. Each Synapse frame is addressed through its rack controller’s unique IP address, giving access to each module, its menus and adjustment items. -
Page 12: The Gix-Hix100-110 Card
The GIX-HIX100-110 Card The GIX100-110 and HIX100-110 are dual channel high performance Introduction 3Gb/s, HD and SD SDI video and embedded audio probes (signal integrity monitor) with clean video switch-over function. The switch function can be triggered by any of the integrity controls or by GPI. -
Page 13: Applications
The GIXxxx family can be used as station output card, and ingest Applications quality control card or a generic 2 x 2 switch. The integrity checking can also be performed for alarm monitoring purposes with the switch function disabled. ... -
Page 14: Settings Menu

Page 15: Switch-Back
inverts the route. Value 0 returns control to the menu item, thus returns to either input A or input B. Auto-GPI only applies when used as backup-switch in 2x2 mode (Output-Config setting). Assumed is that Input-A is the main channel, Input-B is the backup. GPI contact 1 forces the Output-A to Input-B, regardless of an error condition for this input. -
Page 16: Testpatterna
TestPatternA With this setting you can enable a test pattern as frame synchronizer output on channel A. Can be a Colorbar or a Zoneplate. TestPatternB With this setting you can enable a test pattern as frame synchronizer output on channel B. Can be a Colorbar or a Zoneplate. FS_Gen-Speed This sets the speed of the colorbar or zoneplate generator on a scale from 0 (still) to 15 (fast). -
Page 17: Trs-Error-Det
TRS-Error-Det TRS-Error-Det allows the card to detect if the TRS signals are in the right place. When the amount of misplaced or missing TRS signals have reached the threshold set with TRC_CRC_Thres further down the settings menu an alarm is generated. TRS= Timing Reference Signal. ... -
Page 18: Frz_Nrfrms
Frz_NrFrms When a picture freezes it can be reported by the GIX-HIX100-110. With this item it is possible to determine the sensitivity of this detection. It sets the number of frozen frames before a freeze is reported a freeze. This can be set in a range from 10 to 3000 frames. Default is 100. Frz_Thrs Frz_Thrs determines the sensitivity level of the Freeze-det. -
Page 19: Roi_V-Start
With the V-start setting you define the vertical start position of the ROI_V-start region of interest between 0 and 100% of the total picture height. Default is 0% With the V-stop setting you define the vertical end position of the region ROI_V-stop of interest between 0 and 100% of the total picture height. -
Page 20: Timecode_Ins
Timecode_ins Here you can set if the time code on the inputs should be copied to the (Only in GIX-HIX 110) outputs (on). You can also turn off time code re-insertion. Default is off. S352_Insert S352_Insert enables (on) the Video Payload Identifier insertion in the HANC space. -
Page 21: Audio-Ch-Det
Audio-Det_A1/2 ~ Here you can set per audio channel pair if the status of this audio pair Audio-Det_B15/16 should only be shown, select if the card should switch inputs if PCM is lost (or has silence or clip), or if the selected Dolby AC-3, Enhanced AC-3 or Dolby-E is lost. -
Page 22: Enh-Ac-3-Ch-Det
Enh-AC-3-Ch-Det This item controls the presence detection the embedded Enhanced AC-3 audio pairs. Whenever Enhanced AC-3 is lost on any of the selected Dolby pairs, it is detected as an audio presence error. Off: the functionality is switched off. ... -
Page 23: Clip_Level
Clip_Level Clip_Level determines the level for full scale detection. This can be set in a range from -6dBFS to 0dBFS. The default setting is -0.3 dBFS. This is not a true peak (interpolated) measurement, but a straightforward level comparison. Silence_Det Silence_Det allows the card to detect whether the signal has any PCM channels which have silence for the given Silence-time and Silence-level. -
Page 24: F-Delay_1
#F-delay_1 F-Delay sets the amount of delayed Frames. The available range is from 0 to 125 frames (dependant on the video format). Default is 0F. The preset master for this is Dly_Frmt_Prst, hence the ‘#’-prefix. #V-Delay_1 V-Delay setting allows adjustment of the vertical phase of the output signal with respect to the selected reference input. -
Page 25: Input_Loss_A
Input_Loss_A determines what the output of outputs A is in case of Input_Loss_A lost input: Freeze: a capture of the last good field or frame. Colorbar: a color bar Zoneplate: a zone plate Black: a black output. ... -
Page 26: Audio_Ctrl
Audio_Ctrl This controls the selection of the currently active Audio_Preset. Before using the audio presets, you need to select all audio sources and channels in each preset. To ease this process you can use the Emb- Prst-Default setting to reset all audio presets to factory default selections. -
Page 27: Emb-Mode
#Emb-Mode With Emb-Mode you select how the audio should be embedded into the video: overwrite the exsisting audio, or Append. Default is overwrite. #EmbA_Grp ~ With these settings you select into which audio group (= 4 audio #EmbB_Grp channels) of the outputs you want to embed the corresponding 4 forwarded audio channels, coming from the de-embedder or add-on bus. -
Page 28: Gpi_A-Mode ~ Gpi_D-Mode
GPI_A-mode ~ GPI_D- Selects the mode for the corresponding GPI pool. Possible settings are: mode Prio: Each contact triggers another value, so values are one-hot encoded. Prio_latched: This mode functions like Prio Mode, but the card latches the value. Each contact triggers another value, so values are one-hot encoded. -

A-Z depending on the number of pools. The default output value of a pool is always 0. This translates to preset 1 in Axon products. In priority mode, the contact which has the highest priority defines the pool value. -
Page 49: Statuses: Contact Direction
Status Card GPO Pool specific Every GPO pool can be set up to process the input values in two ways. This setting is called GPO_n-Mode and can be set into Priority (Prio) or Binary mode. N is defined as a character in the range from A-Z depending on the number of pools. -
