GFS010 – HFS010 – SFS010 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 3 A Quick Start When Powering- On powering up the Synapse frame, the card set will use basic data and default initialisation settings. All LED’s will light during this process. After initialisation, several LED’s will remain lit – the exact number and configuration is dependant upon the number of inputs connected and the status of the inputs.
INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL GFS010 – HFS010 – SFS010 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.
EVS Broadcast Equipment SA Synapse Cortex can be used to change the settings of Synapse Synapse Cortex modules from a PC, either locally or remotely. The software enables Software communication based on TCP/IP between the Setup PC and Synapse frames/modules.
INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL GFS010 – HFS010 – SFS010 4 The GFS-HFS-SFS010 Card Introduction The GFS010, HFS010 and SFS010 are frame synchronizers with 16 channel audio transparency and color correcting capabilities. The GFS010 is compatible with 270Mb/s, 1.5Gb/s and 3Gb/s for full 1080p/50 or 1080p/59.94 use.
INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL GFS010 – HFS010 – SFS010 5 Settings Menu Introduction The settings menu displays current state each GFS/HFS/SFS010 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.
EVS Broadcast Equipment SA #IO-Map With this setting you can select the 3Gb/s mapping in case the input format is 1080p50 or 1080p60. Can be manually set to Level A or (GFS only) Level B. You can also choose to set it to auto, in which case the GDL will automatically detect whether the input is Level A or Level B.
INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL GFS010 – HFS010 – SFS010 Ref-Type Sets the type of incoming reference. Can be either Bi-Level or Tri-Level. Default is Bi-Level. P60-P50_Sync With this setting you can choose to synchronize each one frame or each two frames. Default is One Frame. The two-frame- synchronize mode only works for 720p60, 720p50, 1080p50 and 1080p60 standards.
EVS Broadcast Equipment SA INSERTER This card can insert several data values in the VBI of the outputs. With the following settings you can choose what you want to insert. Timecode_Inp With this card it is possible to copy the embedded timecode information of either input SDI-1 or input SDI-2 to the output.
INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL GFS010 – HFS010 – SFS010 Ins_Prst_EditA Here you can select which of the 16 selectable presets you want to edit when in a transparent mode. Changing this will not change the active preset, unless the currently active preset is the same you are going to edit.

EVS Broadcast Equipment SA Audio_Prst_act With this item you can manually change the currently active audio preset. Can be any preset between 1 and 16. By default it is set to 1. All menu settings that are preceded with a ‘#Emb’-prefix are part of the preset.
INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL GFS010 – HFS010 – SFS010 #Emb-CD-Mode With Emb-AB-Mode you select how the audio in groups C and D should be embedded into the video: overwrite the exsisting audio, or Append. Default is overwrite. #EmbC_Grp With this setting you select in to which audio group (= 4 audio...
EVS Broadcast Equipment SA GPI_1 ~ GPI_5 In this card it is possible to make the 5 available GPI triggers part of a GPI pool that can control the various functions in the card separately (all Xx_Ctrl items of the menu). With these items you can select which pool the corresponding GPI is part of and in what way it should trigger.

INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL GFS010 – HFS010 – SFS010 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.
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.
INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL GFS010 – HFS010 – SFS010 8 LED Indication Error LED The error LED indicates an error if the internal logic of the GFS/HFS/SFS010 card is not configured correctly or has a hardware failure. Input_A LED This LED indicated the presence of a valid SDI video signal on input A.

EVS Broadcast Equipment SA Appendix 2 GPI’s explained GPI pools This card has 5 GPI contacts. Since there are several functions you 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.

(This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in objects code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifi cations to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface defi nition fi les, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
