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.
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.
Changing settings The front panel controls or the Axon Cortex can be used to change and parameters settings. An overview of the settings can be found in chapter 5, 6 and 7 of this manual.
Example of With the display as shown below changing 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.
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 HEB05 Card Introduction The HEB05 is an HD SDI and SD SDI digital audio embedder. It is capable of inserting or appending 4 free-running AES/EBU digital audio channels (8 channels). The core of the HEB05 consists of four embedder-blocks Emb_A, Emb_B and Emb_C and Emb_D. Each block is capable of embedding 4 audio channels into one group, which gives a total of 16 audio channels into four groups.
Settings Menu Introduction The settings menu displays the current state of each HEB05 setting and allows you to change or adjust it. Settings can be changed using the front panel of the Synapse frame (SFR18, SFR08 or SFR04) or with Cortex. Also the SCP08 control can be used. Please refer to chapter 3 for information on the Synapse front panel control and Cortex.
Emb-A-Sel ~ These settings determine which of the four groups of audio, Emb_D-Sel available on the Synapse ADD-ON bus, will be embedded by embedders A till D into the HD SDI stream. The possible settings are Off (switching the corresponding embedder entirely), group_1, group_2, group_3 or group_4.
#Emb-B1/2 ~ Emb-B1/2 and Emb-B3/4 determine which audio channels are #Emb-B3/4 embedded by channels 1/2 and 3/4 of embedder B. The available settings are, AES1/2, AES3/4, AES5/6, AES7/8, AddOnA1/2, AddOnA3/4, AddOnB1/2, AddOnB3/4, AddOnC1/2, AddOnC3/4, AddOnD1/2 and AddOnD3/4 #Emb-C1/2 ~ Emb-C1/2 and Emb-C3/4 determine which audio channels are #Emb-C3/4 embedded by channels 1/2 and 3/4 of embedder C.
Silence-Time This item allows you to set the amount of seconds before the card is to display a silence status. A variable of 1 up to 255sec can be selected. The default setting is 10 sec. Silence-Level Silence-level determines what the level of silence is. A selectable range from –100 dBFS to –20 dBFS is available.
6 Status Menu Introduction The status menu indicates the current status of each item listed below. HDSDI-Input This status item indicates the presence of a valid High Definition serial digital video signal is present at the input. HDSDI-Input indicates if an input signal is NA (not available), Present or the following formats;...
Grp-Ins When the serial digital video signal already contains audio data and Emb-Mode is set to Append and the selection Emb-Sel is set to the same group number as the present audio, this status item will generate an Error. No embedding occurs for the selected group that creates the error.
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 an event? condition on the card.
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. The first implementation is the tag controlled switch in the GPI16.
LED Indication Error LED The error LED indicates an error if the internal logic of the HEB05 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.
