Introduction BBG-1022-2FS Functional Description Wings Insertion Wings insertion allows a symmetrical L-R wings insertion to be integrated into the program video output. Wings video is accommodated using a separate wings SDI input. The wings user interface displays wings timing relative to the device output video, allowing wings timing offset to be adjusted such that wings can be properly framed.

BBG-1022-2FS Functional Description Color Corrector Option converts the YCbCr SDI input video to the 4:4:4 RGB color +COLOR space (where the color correction is applied), and then back to YCbCr SDI on the output. Controls are available to adjust each RGB level independently for both white levels (gain) and black levels (offset).
Introduction BBG-1022-2FS Functional Description Ancillary Data Processor This function provides full VANC/HANC ancillary data de-embedding and embedding for 3G/HD/SD-SDI streams. Direct access to DID and SDID locations allows extraction or insertion of user data such as camera PTZ, SCTE 104, closed-captioning read/insert, GPI/GPO via ANC, or other specialized user payloads.

The state of each timer, in turn, can also be used to invoke other actions.
(Thermal shutdown is enabled by default). CAUTION Admin (Log Status/Firmware Update) The BBG-1022-2FS FPGA is designed for a normal-range operating temperature around 85° C core temperature. Operation in severe conditions exceeding this limit for non-sustained usage are within device operating safe parameters, and can be allowed by setting this control to Disable.

REF STATUS Illuminates GREEN indicating BBG-1022-2FS is receiving valid reference when set up for framesync operation. Illuminates ORANGE if reference is lost or incompatible with input video. COMM LED Illuminates GREEN when device is communicating with network connection.
Basic Troubleshooting Checks Item Checks Verify power presence and • On the BBG-1022-2FS, in all cases when power is being properly supplied characteristics all indicators should be illuminated. Any device showing no illuminated indicators should be cause for concern. • Check the Power Consumed indication for the BBG-1022-2FS. This can be observed using the Status front-panel or web UI pane.
BBG-1022-2FS Processing Error Troubleshooting Table 3-5 provides BBG-1022-2FS processing troubleshooting information. If the BBG-1022-2FS exhibits any of the symptoms listed in Table 3-5, follow the troubleshooting instructions provided. In the majority of cases, most errors are caused by simple errors where the BBG-1022-2FS is not appropriately set for the type of signal being received by the device.
