  • Page 8: Introduction To Synapse

    SYNAPSE FRAMES Although not required to use Cortex with a Synapse frame, you are strongly advised to use a remote personal computer or laptop PC with EVS Cortex installed, as this increases the ease of use and understanding of the modules.

  • Page 9: Unpacking And Placement

    2 Unpacking and Placement Unpacking The EVS 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.

    EVS Broadcast Equipment SA The Message String The message string is defined in the card and is therefore fixed. It may be used in controlling software like Synapse Set-up 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.

    EVS Broadcast Equipment SA Appendix 1 GPI’s explained This card has 5 GPI contacts. Since there are several functions you GPI pools can control by using GPI’s (for instance: outmode and up/down/cross-presets and audio presets) you can add each individual GPI contact to certain GPI pools. Each pool can then be assigned to control a specific setting.
