Page 8: Introduction To Synapse
Synapse High density, intuitive operation and high quality processing are key features of this system. Synapse offers a full range of converters and processing modules. Please visit the AXON Digital Design Website at www.axon.tv to obtain the latest information on our new products and updates. -
Page 9: Unpacking And Placement
Unpacking and Placement Unpacking The Axon 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. Ensuring that these precautions are followed will prevent premature failure from components mounted on the board. -
Page 10: A Quick Start
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. -
Page 11: Example Of Changing Parameters Using Front Panel Control
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. -
Page 12: Synapse Cortex Software
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. Each Synapse frame is addressed through its rack controller’s unique IP address, giving access to each module, its menus and adjustment items. -

Page 16: Important Notice
Important notice Historically, closed captions were transmitted in NTSC line 21 according to EIA-608. This allows two caption data bytes per field to be transmitted.With the introduction of HD and DTV a new Closed Caption specification was made, EIA-708. This allows sending more data per field, for extended language, color support, PMT and EIT and timecode data. -
Page 17: Settings Menu
Settings Menu Introduction The settings menu displays the current state of each GDS- HDS100/110 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. Also the SCP08 control can be used. -

Page 19: V-Delay
#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. -
Page 20: Pos-Prst_Act
■ V_only: vertical filters will be active which “soften” the image and prevents “ring”-effects in down converted content. ■ H_And_V: same horizontal filter as described under H_Only will be active, together with the vertical filters described under V_only. ■ H2_Only: less steep filter with aliasing and soft for C for less ringing, more sharpness but with aliasing: H2_And_V: same horizontal filter as described under ■... -

Page 30: Audio-Dly-Sinp2
#Audio-Dly-sInp2 With this item you can delay all audio on input 2 between -10000ms and 10000ms with 0.01ms increments, allowing for precise control (GDS/HDS110 only) (2 sample accuracy in practice). Default is 0ms. This item is part of the audio presets. This audio delay is calculated on top of the tracked video delay. -
Page 31: Embb1_Inp ~ #Embb4_Inp
#EmbB1_Inp ~ With these settings you can select where the corresponding audio #EmbB4_Inp channels (channel B1 till channel B4) of the outputs are coming from. In this card you can choose to get the audio from the de- embedder of SDI input 1 (Demb-SDI1) or SDI input 2 (Demb- SDI2), the embedder of the active input (Demb-Input,dependant on the current active input), from the ADD-ON bus groups, or to mute the corresponding channel (set to off). -
Page 32: Embd_Grp
#EmbD_Grp With this setting you select in to which audio group (= 4 audio channels) of the outputs you want to embed the last 4 forwarded audio channels coming from the de-embedders/add-on bus. Can be group1, group2, group3 or group4. You can also choose to not use these 4 audio channels for anything by setting this item to off. -
Page 33: Contact _1 ~ Contact_5
GPI_A-mode ~ Selects the mode for the corresponding GPI pool. Possible settings GPI_C-mode are: Prio: Each contact triggers another value, so values are one- hot encoded. Prio_latched: This mode functions like Prio Mode, but the card latches the value. Each contact triggers another value, so values are one-hot encoded. -

Page 40: Events Menu
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. What is the Goal of The goal of events is to inform the environment about a changing an event? condition on the card. -
Page 41: The Message String
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. -

Appendix 1 Card dip-switches for BHX and fiber configuration There are dip-switches on the circuit board of the card itself. With these dip-switches you can change the power-voltages that is put on the backpanel. By default the switches are set to off, putting no power on the backpanel. - Page 46 which have a short initialization time, or which have a delayed trigger-signal onboard. “Direct Backpanel Switchover” dipswitch set to OFF (default): Will make the BHX-backpanel switch after about 15 seconds from the moment the BHX-backpanel detects the trigger signal from the connected synapse card.

Page 47: Gpi's Explained
Appendix 3 GPI’s explained Introduction This appendix describes the functionality of the GPI’s generally used within the Synapse based products. General functionality The physical contacts of a General Purpose Interface can be assigned by the user. In our cards the General Purpose Interface contacts (GPI contacts) will be named as General Purpose Input (GPI) or General Purpose Output (GPO). -

Binary mode. N is defined as a character in the range from A-Z depending on the number of pools. The default output value of a pool is always 0. This translates to preset 1 in Axon products. In priority mode, the contact which has the highest priority defines the pool value. -
Page 49: Pool Mode: Gpo
Pool Mode: GPO Every GPO pool can be set up to process the input values in two ways. This setting is called GPO_n-Mode and can be set into Priority (Prio) or Binary mode. N is defined as a character in the range from A-Z depending on the number of pools. -
Page 50: Statuses: Contact Status
Contact-Status shows the current logical value of the Statuses: Contact physical contacts, formatted as a concatenated string containing status one character per pin: 1 for asserted, 0 for non-asserted and _ for unassigned. Statuses: GPI status GPI_n is an integer which reflects the value of the pool. Statuses: GPO status GPO_n is an integer which reflects the value of the pool. - Page 51 Let’s say we would like to control the GXG up-converter presets Example 2: One pool using Pool A (Up_CtrlA set to GPI_A) in binary mode and the in binary mode and audio presets using Pool B (Audio_Ctrl set to GPI_B) in one in priority mode priority mode.
