4. The GDK100 Card Introduction The GDK100 is a Keyer module for the Synapse system. This module has 4 individual triple rate (SD, HD, 3Gb/s) inputs and 4 triple rate outputs. A local Ethernet connection is placed for controlling the end product. - Page 15 All inputs have to fall within the following specifications: 1080p 1000 pixels (6.756 µs) in front of or behind the reference (which is fed to the GDK card via the rack controller).

5.3. Keyer Options Setting Description Keyer With this setting you decide how you want the keyer to work. Choices are: • Key_input: Use the key as inserted on the key-input. • Self_key: Key using the signal from the fill input, without making use of a key-input (hard keying). - Page 21 With the KEY_win settings you can set a window in the input signal where the key should be processed only. With H_Start you set the horizontal start point of this window (See appendix 1: Key_win settings visualized). By default it’s set to Synapse GDK100 | 5. Settings Menu |...

7. 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 an Event? The goal of events is to inform the environment about a changing condition on the card. - Page 27 Error Threshold setting of the RRC will cause the error LED on the Synapse rack front panel to light up. Card Address Together with the message string or the tag, the slot number or address of the card is relevant to be able to assign the event to a certain card. Synapse GDK100 | 7. Events Menu |...

- Page 33 The ADD-ON card injects up to 32 channels into the large brown arrow. An ADD-ON card will also actively loop extra processed channels into the next ADD-ON card, and finally into the master card. Synapse GDK100 | Appendix 2: Quad Speed ADD-ON Bus |...
- Page 34 • The cross looping of the original design is now a straight loop. • The quad speed bus can also work in one direction. You can use a Quad Speed audio bus to de-embed audio from the master and present on the ADD- ON card as AES/EBU, Bitstream (like Dolby) or analog audio.
- Page 35 The next ADD-ON card (sitting in the next n+1 slot) can also freely select any 8 from 32 channels. (The DLA42 can also take 3 channels from the ADD-ON bus and 5 channels from its physical input). This looping works up to 3 times. Synapse GDK100 | Appendix 2: Quad Speed ADD-ON Bus |...
- Page 36 The brown arrow is the return path and sends the (processed) audio back to the master card. This path is 32 channels wide and is clocked from the master card. The ADD-ON card can for instance overwrite 8 of the 32 channels. These 32 channels are then transported to the next ADD-ON card, which overwrites another 8 channels.
- Page 37 However, the insertion menu of for instance the DLA42 is much more flexible and enables any channel to be assigned to any of the 32 channel slots. The example below shows how this flexibility could be used. Synapse GDK100 | Appendix 2: Quad Speed ADD-ON Bus |...
