High density, intuitive operation and high quality processing are Synapse key features of this system. Synapse offers a full range of converters and processing modules. Please visit the AXON Digital Design Website at www.axon.tv to obtain the latest information on our new products and updates.
2 Unpacking and Placement Unpacking The Axon Synapse card must be unpacked in an anti-static environment. Care must be taken NOT to touch components on the card – always handle the card carefully by the edges. The card must be stored and shipped in anti-static packaging. Ensuring that these precautions are followed will prevent premature failure from components mounted on the board.
Default settings Refer to the menu structure for settings. Changing settings The front panel controls or the Axon Cortex Software can be used to change settings. An overview of the settings can be found in and parameters chapter 5, 6 and 7 of this manual.
Example of With the display as shown below changing parameters using RRC18 [Select Card] front panel control >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. SFS10 [Select Menu] >Settings Pressing the ►...
Axon Cortex can be used to change the settings of Synapse Axon Cortex 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.
The HDR07 Card Introduction The AXON HDR07 is a High Definition distribution amplifier with re-clocking functionality. Inputs and Outputs The HDR07 is a single input, seven output distribution amplifier. SD SDI Compatible The HDR07 is compatible with a range of Standard Definition SDI input signals.
HDR07 and enables the item to be changed or adjusted. Settings can be changed using the front panel of the Synapse frame (SFR18, SFR08 or SFR04) or Axon Cortex software. PLL_Set The HDR07 is capable of re-clocking a range of SDI and HDSDI transport stream bitrates.
6 Status Menu Introduction The status menu indicates the current status of each item listed below. There are no defaults for status indicators. Status depends of input signals being present or not. Input This status item indicates the presence of a valid SDI or HDSDI signal at the input.
7 Events Menu Introduction An event is a special message that is generated on the card asynchronously. This means that it is not the response to a request to the card, but a spontaneous message. What is the Goal of The goal of events is to inform the environment about a changing condition on the card.

The Message String The message string is defined in the card and is therefore fixed. It may be used in controlling software like Cortex to show the event. The Tag The tag is also defined in the card. The tag has a fixed meaning. When controlling or monitoring software should make decisions based on events, it is easier to use the tag instead of interpreting a string.
8 LED Indication Error LED The error LED indicates an error if the internal logic of the HDB10 card is not configured correctly or has a hardware failure. Input LED This LED indicated the presence of a valid SDI video signal on the input.
