    INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL GDR416 5 Settings Menu Introduction The settings menu displays the current state of each GDR416 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.
  • Page 13: Pll_Set_B

    EVS Broadcast Equipment SA PLL_set_B The GDR416 is capable of re-clocking a range of 3Gbit/s, HD and SD SDI transport stream bitrates. PLL_Set_B is used to set input B of the GDR416 to the correct bitrate of the incoming signal.
  • Page 14: Reclocker_D

    INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL GDR416 Reclocker_D The setting item Reclock_D determines if the incoming signal on input D will be reclocked by the GDR416. The settings are: Auto: Auto selection between Bypass and Reclocked. ■ Bypass: Does not re-clock the incoming signal ■...
  • Page 15: Note

    EVS Broadcast Equipment SA Note: If PLL_Set_# is set to 1485 or 2970 Mb/s it is possible that a properly applied 270Mb/s signal (with a high signal strength and low jitter) will pass through. However we do not advice to use this situation because it could sometimes “miss-clock”.

    INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL GDR416 case Temperature monitoring is not available or the module is not inserted. SFP2-Volt-Stat These indicate whether the voltage usage of SFP input/output module B is Too_High, High, OK, Low or Too_Low. Can also be NA in case Voltage monitoring is not available or the module is not inserted.

  • Page 20: The Tag

    INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL GDR416 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.
