EVS Broadcast Equipment SA EVS Cortex EVS Cortex can be used to change the settings of Synapse 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.

INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL DIO88 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 an event?
EVS Broadcast Equipment SA 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.

INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL DIO88 Appendix 1 Quad speed ADD-ON bus Scope The internal audio ADD-ON bus needs an upgrade. We want more channels (32 per video stream seems possible in the near future). And we want the bus to be bidirectional, so 32 channels in and 32 channels out at the same time. The new interface needs to be compatible with all existing hardware (frames) and in the implementation of the master card it needs to be backward compatible with the original ADD-ON bus.
EVS Broadcast Equipment SA Example The big difference between the new and old bus structure is the fact that it caries 4 times as much audio channels. It is also bi directional by design. So half of the original physical...
INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL DIO88 Multiplexing The injection of processed audio into the master card works differently then you were used to with the original audio ADD-ON bus. The brown large arrow will always carry 32 channels from ADD-ON to ADD-ON, or from ADD-ON to Master Card.
