Page 14: The Gfs100-110 Card
4. The GFS100-110 Card Introduction The GFS100-110 is a frame synchronizer with backup inputs and 16 channel audio transparency and color correcting capabilities. The powerful matrix multiplexer can feed audio from the embedded domain into the Synapse bus to an ADD-ON card like the DIO48. This matrix multiplexer also allows for audio to be inserted from the ADD-ON bus into the embedded domain of the GFS100-110. - Page 15 To ensure correct operation the F-delay of the card needs to be 1 or higher so there is enough time to mask the error. Applications GFS100-GFS110: • Transmission output frame synchronizer with backup input. • General purpose post-router autophaser. GFS110 only: • Combining embedded audio channels of 2 inputs into 1.

Settings can be changed using the front panel of the Synapse frame (SFR18, SFR08 or SFR04) or with Cortex. - Page 17 Default is on. #F_delay F-Delay sets the number of delayed Frames. The available range is from 0 to 250 fields (dependent on the I/O). Default is 0F. The preset master for this is Out-Frmt, hence the # prefix. Synapse GFS100 | 5. Settings Menu |...
- Page 18 #V_delay V-Delay setting allows adjustment of the vertical phase of the output signal with respect to the selected reference input. The V-Delay setting gives a delay in addition to the reference timing. For example: if the V-Delay is set to 10 TV HD lines, the output signal will be delayed by reference timing + 10 TV HD lines.
