Page 7: Introduction
TSS-2470 Time Delay Introduction There are two versions of the 360 Systems Time Delay. The TSS-2470 Time Delay and the TSS-2470 Variable Time Delay. Both offer a high-quality program delay for television broadcast, satellite delivery, and other applications requiring a user-settable delay time for video, audio, and ancillary data. - Page 8 time period; if several Time Delays are fed identical input signals, they will remain in sync indefinitely. The TSS-2470 is convertible from an SD delay server to an HD delay server with no additional hardware or software. It employs high quality, HD video encoding at 100 Mb/s or SD encoding at 30 Mb/s which is ideal for this application, providing superior final image quality when used in conjunction with other codec processes such as MPEG or H.264 for satellite transmission and cable distribution.

Page 9: Tss-2470 Time Delay Features
TSS-2470 Time Delay Features Functions in a stand-alone configuration with no external machine controls, and requires no third-party software. Operates unattended for long periods of time. No operator intervention or file maintenance required for continuous operation. All settings are non-volatile, allowing unattended restart on power-up. The unit automatically reconfigures itself for the last-specified delay time, and re-enters the record/playback cycle. -
Page 10: Tss-2470 Ii Time Delay Additional Features
TSS-2470 Time Delay Additional Features Same feature set as the TSS-2470 Time Delay but with the added benefit of being able to reset the delay time without a restart. Four “quick set” delay time buttons for setting or resetting a delay time. Transport controls over the delay feed such as Pause, Jog, FF, REW, and Play are available ... -

times, even when switched away from it. When first powering up the TSS-2470 Time Delay, use only the supplied keyboard and mouse directly connected. Then test the KVM switch system that will be used thoroughly before installation is completed. Be especially careful about this when using extender cables. -
Page 13: Power Conditioning
A disadvantage is that it may create its own power transients when switching between utility power and its inverter supply. For this reason 360 Systems does not recommend this type for use with the TSS-2470 Time Delay. Continuous Conversion UPS Design This improved design continuously converts utility power to DC, stores it in a battery, then produces isolated AC power from an inverter. - Page 14 360 Systems’ engineers have experience with thousands of installations, and have become aware of a number of environmental factors that can adversely affect performance. Two of these have already been discussed: power conditioning and inadequate cooling.

Connect equipment racks directly to an earth ground with a heavy copper conductor. Do not operate equipment with a lifted safety ground (green frame ground). ... -
Page 16: Front Panel Features
Front Panel Features Front Panel The front panel is held on by two roller clips, one on each end of the panel. To remove the front panel, grasp the left or right end of the panel and pull straight out. The front panel is reinstalled by reversing this process. -
Page 17: Indicators
Indicators Three blue LED Status Indicators appear on the front panel. These indicators are illuminated continuously or in some cases are dark when inactive on not connected. The NIC indicator will flash on and off if a network cable is attached indicating network activity. Error conditions are Front Panel Indicators indicated by flashing of the SYS indicator. -

Page 20: Operations
Operations The Graphical User Interface The TSS-2470 Time Delay uses a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to control most functions. A keyboard and mouse are included, and the user needs to supply an SVGA compliant monitor. The GUI is divided into two sections: Run/Stop control, and Time Delay Set. Controls and displays for each section are described below. -
Page 21: Basic Tss-2470 Run/Stop Control
Basic TSS-2470 Run/Stop Control The RUN button initiates or restarts the TSS-2470 Time Delay process. Press RUN to begin a new delay cycle and start the Time-to-Air countdown. When the countdown reaches zero, it changes to ON LINE, and the delayed video begins playing from the main Program Output. Upon power up the TSS-2470 Time Delay will automatically enter Run mode and start the delay process if a valid input is detected, or if Frame Synchronizer is selected a valid reference signal is detected. -
Page 22: Tss-2470 Ii Variable Control Functions
TSS-2470 II Variable Control Functions The TSS-2470 II has the same main control window for setting up the initial delay time. Once the initial delay is established, the functions in the output channel window will become available. Playback Time The Playback Time Window displays the Time of Day that the current output frame was recorded. -
Page 23: Edit Configure Dialog
Delay Presets The four numbered Delay Presets buttons are available for quickly setting or resetting the delay time. The time setting for each button is configurable at any time. Once a delay time is established on a delay preset, clicking the numbered button immediately reconfigures and starts the delay for the established time. - Page 24 This field adjusts the amount of VANC data (such as Closed Captions) stored by the server. Valid range is from 0KB per frame to 4KB per frame. Consult with 360 Systems technicians before setting this to values higher than 4 KB/frame.
- Page 25 The Output Timing values are the only parameters that are adjustable while the TSS-2470 Time Delay is in RUN to allow timing while in operation. Adjustments take effect immediately without using Apply or OK, allowing the effects to be seen easily. The picture will blank while the change takes effect.

Page 26: Configure Network
Configure Network Network parameters are set in the Configure Network dialog. Network communication for the TSS-2470 Time Delay is designed primarily to support access to error logs and factory diagnostics. It can also support automatic time updates using the NTP protocol. The system time is used only in the diagnostic system message logs;... - Page 27 Each TSS-2470 Time Delay is shipped with a unique default network Host Name and IP Address. Update these configurations to suit your specific network environment. Factory defaults for networking are: Disable Network is checked Use DHCP is unchecked Disable Network Checkbox: This selection turns the network off or on.
- Page 28 Note: When URLs (non-numeric site address such as pool.ntp.org) are used in the NTP Servers field, the IP address of at least one DNS (Domain Name server) in the Name Servers field must be provided. Typically, this address is supplied by your Internet Service Provider. These name servers translate URL names into numeric IP addresses needed to access the sites in question.

Page 41: Accessing The Main System Board
Accessing the Main System Board There are no user-configurable options on the main system board. If you suspect that the system board is not operating properly, consult with 360 Systems before proceeding. DO NOT undertake any repairs on it. Managing the RAID Disk Array The RAID Disk Array is for the most part, self maintaining. - Page 42 GUI Drive Fault Indication Status messages you may see on the status line: Initializing, indicated by "Initializing" Degraded, indicated by "Degraded" Resyncing, indicated by "Resyncing x%" Recovering, indicated by "Recovering x%" Drive Removed, indicated by "Drive ‘n’ removed" where ‘n’ corresponds the drive number of a drive that has either failed or been physically removed.
- Page 43 If the rebuild process does not start automatically, it may be necessary to cycle power. If this does not result in the rebuild starting automatically, contact 360 Systems support. When powering up with a newly replaced drive, the RAID boot up screen should indicate that the drive is present.
- Page 44 Replacing a Hard Drive Each hard drive bay is numbered 0 through 3, as are the drives. If for any reason one or more drives have been removed, they must be reinstalled in a bay whose number matches the drive. Installation in the wrong location will damage data stored on all drives. Although the drives are hot swappable and can be replaced while the system is running, it is recommended that if possible the unit be taken offline and powered off prior to conducting any maintenance or repairs.
