The HDSD9545DLY-PRO enables the operator to insert the desired time delay, via a front panel control and a display panel. There are two program paths that are HD and SD compatible. The main program feed will usually be focused on the main detailed action.
HDSD9545DLY - PRO Profanity Bypass Delay Manual The on-air path routes through a 2x1 video switch that allows you to select between the program chain Input A 'live' video (and audio) and the Input B 'safe' video/audio source in the event that objectionable content is seen or heard. Therefore, the 'on air' output provides the switched output between delayed program and delayed safe video so that alternate video (and audio) can be switched to air after you have seen or heard the objectionable content but before your viewers have.

HDSD9545DLY - PRO Profanity Bypass Delay Manual 4:2:2 A commonly used term for a component digital video format. The details of the format are specified in the CCIR-601 standard. The numerals 4:2:2 denote the ratio of the sampling frequencies of the luminance channel to the two colour difference channels. For every four luminance samples, there are two samples of each colour difference channel.

HDSD9545DLY - PRO Profanity Bypass Delay Manual CLIFF EFFECT: (also referred to as the ‘digital cliff’) This is a phenomenon found in digital video systems that describes the sudden deterioration of picture quality due to excessive bit errors, often caused by excessive cable lengths. The digital signal will be perfect even though one of its signal parameters is approaching or passing the specified limits.

REAR PANEL OVERVIEW Figure 2-1: Rear Panel Layout Figure 2-1 shows the rear panel of the HDSD9545DLY-PRO unit. Sections 2.1.1 to 2.1.6 describe the specific video, audio, and control signals that should be connected to the HDSD9545DLY-PRO unit. Sections 2.2 to 2.7 describe how to connect them into your system.
HDSD9545DLY - PRO Profanity Bypass Delay Manual 2.1.2. Reference Video Connections VIDEO REF This BNC input is used for connecting an analog Genlock reference. The genlock signal may be tri-level sync, NTSC, and is selected by using the Video Reference menu item in the VIDEO CONFIG menu.
HDSD9545DLY - PRO Profanity Bypass Delay Manual 2.1.5. Serial I/O and GPI/O Connections REMOTE CTL This 9 pin female D connector provides an RS-232 serial interface used for updating the firmware. This port is wired at the factory as an RS232 DCE port as shown in Table 2-1. Pin # Name Description...
The main unit has one or two universal voltage power supplies that operate on 100 to 240 Volts 50/60 Hz 2.2. MOUNTING The HDSD9545DLY-PRO is equipped with rack mounting angles and fits into a standard 19 inches by 3.5 inches (483 mm x 89 mm) rack space. The mounting angles may be removed if rack mounting is not desired.
CONNECTING THE VIDEO 2.4.1. Video Inputs The program video source should be connected to the INPUT A BNC. The HDSD9545DLY-PRO supports standard definition and high definition digital video in the formats shown in Table 2-3. The video standard must be set manually to match the incoming video type using the Video Standard menu item in the VIDEO menu (see section 3.10.1).
Video Reference menu item on the VIDEO menu. (See section 3.10.2) 2.5. CONNECTING THE AUDIO The HDSD9545DLY-PRO is capable of working with either embedded or discrete AES audio. The AUDIO menu is used to configure various items related to the audio. 2.5.1. Connecting Program (‘Live’) Audio...
100Base-TX systems, category 5 UTP cable is required. The cable must be “straight through” with a RJ-45 connector at each end. Make the network connection by plugging one end of the cable into the RJ-45 receptacle of the HDSD9545DLY-PRO and the other end into a port of the supporting hub.
The GPIs are opto-isolated inputs that can be powered from an external source or from the frame. The GPOs are relay contacts that are normally closed when the power to the HDSD9545DLY-PRO is off. 2.7.1. Connecting the General Purpose Inputs The GPI’s are used as additional triggers to initiate a transition, such as a video and/or audio switch.

HDSD9545DLY - PRO Profanity Bypass Delay Manual TRANSITION A list of the possible transitions is shown below. Gpi 1 Clear all transitions for this trigger or tally Clear All Immediately switches the ‘on air’ video (including embedded audio and tot video switch ancillary data) from the Program to the Safe video.
Mt= xxf:y.yys of the HDSD9545DLY-PRO will not change back to the Program input but 0 to prg dly remain on the Safe input. The merge time is shown in video frames and 1 sec seconds.
The total amount of delay memory (24 seconds on standard units, 40 seconds with HD40 option) in HDSD9545DLY-PRO is divided between the Program Delay and the Safe Delay, so the setting of one delay determines the maximum value of the other. Typically the delay is set so that the program video and safe video are both delayed by 12 seconds maximum.
HDSD9545DLY - PRO Profanity Bypass Delay Manual 3.10. CONFIGURING THE VIDEO The VIDEO menus are used to configure the video and reference standard, system phasing, and other general items related to the video. The chart below shows the items available in the VIDEO menu. Sections 3.10.1 to 3.10.5 provide detailed information about each of the sub-menus.
3.10.3. Setting Up the Video Output Timing The output stage of the HDSD9545DLY-PRO contains a frame buffer and a line buffer so that the output video can be timed with respect to the reference video applied to the VIDEO REF input BNC.
HDSD9545DLY - PRO Profanity Bypass Delay Manual 3.10.3.2. Setting the Horizontal Phase of the Output Video VIDEO This control enables the user to set the horizontal timing of the output video Output H Phase with respect to the genlock reference input. There are separate settings of Output H phase for each output video type.
HDSD9545DLY - PRO Profanity Bypass Delay Manual 3.10.6. Setting the Amount of Blur on the Program Delayed Video VIDEO This control enables the user to set the amount of blurring that will be applied to the delayed program video when the pgm blur or t pgm blur transition is Pgm Blur Factor selected.
