Operating Basics Using the Mainframe General Purpose Interface (GPI) You can use the 10 BASE-T port of the TG700 mainframe as a General Purpose Interface (GPI) by changing internal jumper settings. When you enable the mainframe GPI, you can recall one of the seven available presets, output an alarm signal, and display an alarm status on the LCD.

Conﬁgure the module to the desired operational mode (converter or generator), select the signal format, and if necessary, select the test signal.
Page 303: Selecting An Output Signal
HDLG7 HD Dual Link Video Generator Selecting an Output Signal The HDLG7 module has two modes of operation: converter or generator. To select an output signal, perform the appropriate procedure below for your selected mode of operation. Converter Mode Procedure Use this mode to convert a SMPTE 292M serial digital video stream carrying a SMPTE 274M signal to a SMPTE 372M serial digital dual link video signal.
Page 304 HD clock. If you change the signal format of the HDLG7 output, you may create a clock conﬂict that will cause the output of another module to no longer conform to its selected signal format.
Page 305 ENTER button to conﬁrm the selection. Select the Test Signal The test signals in the HDLG7 module are divided into the following two groups: HD SDI video test signals Projector test patterns (digital cinema 2K formats only) NOTE.

Page 311 NOTE. When the 1080 50p, 1080 59.94p, or 1080 60p format is selected, the HDLG7 module forces the sampling structure to 1080 YCbCr 4:2:2 10 bits, and no other sampling structure is allowed. Selecting Projector Test Pattern while the format is 2K 1080 or 2K 1556 will limit the sampling structure/depth to 2K XYZ 4:4:4 12 bits.
Page 312 1080 YCbCr 4:2:2 10 bits as the sampling structure. However, the output signals produced on Link A and Link B are not dual-link signals. The HDLG7 module will produce two single-link outputs, with incoming ancillary and embedded audio being placed on Link A and none on Link B.
