    High density, intuitive operation and high quality processing are Synapse 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 6: Unpacking And Placement

    2 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.

    3 A Quick Start When Powering-up On powering up the Synapse frame, the card set will use basic data and default initialisation settings. All LEDs will light during this process. After initialisation, several LEDs will remain lit – the exact number and configuration is dependant upon the number of inputs connected and the status of the inputs.

    Synapse modules from a PC, either locally or remotely. The Software software enables 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.

    External Freeze allows the ASV22 to freeze the output signal. This is performed manually by switching to freeze input. Tracking output A tracking output is provided by the ASV22. This output provides a timing pulse for use with other Axon Synapase devices, e.g. for Audio Synchronisation with a DIO24.
  • Page 11 The ASV22 can be used with the BPL01 back plane. Miscellaneous The ASV22 cards fit into the Axon SFR04 & SFR18 rack. LED’s on the front of the board indicate the presence Video Reference, Input signal, Connection & Processor Errors.
  • Page 12: Settings Menu

    5 Settings Menu Introduction The settings menu displays the current state of each setting within the ASV22 and enables the item to be changed or adjusted. Settings can be changed using the front panel of the Synapse frame (SFR18 or SFR04) or Synapse Setup software. Please refer to chapter 3 for information on the Synapse front panel control and Synapse Setup software.
  • Page 13 Standard This item controls the detection the input standard. The settings of Standard are Auto detection, 625, 525. The default setting is Auto. Having detected or set a standard, the ASV22 automatically utilises the settings in the menus 625-Stndrd or 525-Stndrd.
  • Page 14 Input-Gain The input gain can be set to Fixed, Auto-Brst, Auto-Sync or Variable. The default setting is Fixed. In Fixed mode the input stage is static and expects a compliant input signal with the correct amplitude. In Auto-Brst an Automatic Gain Control is enabled, and the gain is based on the color subcarrier’s amplitude.
  • Page 15 Note: Please refer to the following description of Ref input for synchronization and timing information. 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.

    6 Status Menu Introduction The status menu indicates the current status of each item listed below. Analog-Inp This status item indicates the presence of a valid analog video signal at the input. Analog-Inp indicates if an input signal is NA (not available) or Present. SDI-Input This status item indicates the presence of a valid Serial video signal at the SDI input.

The status can be NA (not available) or Ok. Audio-CH_B3 Audio-CH_B3 displays the status of audio channel B3. The status can be NA (not available) or Ok.
  • Page 22: Events 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 The goal of events is to inform the environment about a changing condition on the card.
  • Page 23 2) A tag that also shows what happens, but with a predefined number: e.g. 1 (= loss of input), 2 (= loss of reference), 129(= 1+128 = return of input). For a list of these predefined tags see the table on the next page. 3) A priority that marks the importance of an event.
  • Page 24 The Priority The priority is a user-defined value. The higher the priority of the alarm, the higher this value. Setting the priority to Zero disables the announcement of this alarm. Alarms with priorities equal or higher than the Error Threshold setting of the RRC will cause the error LED on the Synapse rack front panel to light.
