    MORE 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 Axon Cortex installed, as this increases the ease of use and understanding of the modules.

  • Page 6: Chapter 2 Unpacking And Placement

    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.

    Axon Cortex can be used to change the settings of Synapse modules Axon Cortex from a PC, either locally or remotely. The software enables Software 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 available Fiber backplanes are: BPL11T2_FC/PC,BPL11T2_SC, BPL11R2_FC/PC, BPL11R2_SC Miscellaneous The 2IX09 cards fit into the Axon SFR04 & SFR18 racks. LED’s at the front of the board indicate the presence of an input signal and connection & processor Errors. The 2IX09 can be controlled by Axon Synapse Set-Up Software.

  • Page 11: Chapter 5 Settings Menu

    5 Settings Menu Introduction The settings menu displays the current state of each setting within the 2IX09 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 Synapse Setup software. Format The setting Format determines the video format: 625 for 625 lines/50 Hertz and 525 for 525 lines/60 Hertz.
  • Page 12 Switch-Back Switch-Back can be set On or Off. When Switch-Back is set to On, and a change over to channel 2 has occurred, the card will immediately switch back to channel 1 when channel 1 is OK again. When Switch-Back is set to Off, and a change over to channel 2 has occurred.
  • Page 13 Freeze-Det Freeze-Det will set the card to detect if the input signal is frozen. The measurement is performed in the complete active picture. The sensitivity can be set in Freeze-Frmr and Freeze-Trsh. Off: the functionality is switched OFF. Probe: the card will detect frozen frames, but will only give this as a status item.
  • Page 14 Black-Frmr Black-Frmnr allows setting of the number of black frames that should initiate a changeover or status display. The related range is from 10 to 255 frames. The default setting is 100. Black-Trsh Black-Trsh determines the sensitivity level of the Black- det.
  • Page 15 Ref-Input Ref-Input determines which of the two reference inputs of the SFR18 is used to lock the input to. This can either be reference 1 or 2. The SFR04 has only 1 reference input. The default setting is 1. H-Delay The H-Delay setting allows adjustment of the horizontal phase of the output signal with respect to the selected reference input.
  • Page 16 With the V-start_A setting you define the vertical start position of ROI_V-start_A the region of interest for input A between 0 and 100% of the total picture height. Default is 0% With the V-end_A setting you define the vertical end position of ROI_V-stop_A the region of interest for input A between 0 and 100% of the total picture height.

  • Page 26 Clarification of the 2IX settings (from Appendix 1 version 1312 and up) The 2IXxx has two input channels A and B and two output channels A and B . The 2IXxx has a lot of settings, which makes the card a powerful monitoring card, but with it also increasing the operating complexity.
  • Page 27 Multiple monitoring functions, e.g. Carrier-Det, can be set to monitor the input channel(s), these can be set to the following options: Off: The functionality for this function is switched off; also the corresponding status of this setting is turned off. Probe: An error, for this function, is detected (for both input channels) but only given as a status- item.
