Page 14: The 2Gf100-110 Card
4. The 2GF100-110 Card Introduction The 2GF100-110 is a dual channel frame synchronizer with backup inputs and 8 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 2GF100-110. - Page 15 To ensure correct operation, the F-delay of the card needs to be 1 or higher to allow enough time to mask the error.

Appendices Appendix 1: GPIs Explained GPI Pools This card has 5 GPI contacts. Since there are several functions you can control by using GPIs (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. Binary Mode or Priority Mode In the GPI_1 through GPI_5 settings, you can assign each GPI contact to one of the 3 available pools. - Page 43 Pool A now consists of GPI 1, GPI 2 and GPI 3 (as take), in a binary mode, controlling the Up converter preset.
