    All FRS-111i adjustments and selections can be controlled remotely with Miranda’s iControl software and RCP-100. The FRS-111i is a member of the imaging family of digital video cards and therefore requires the imaging Quartet, Quartet-C or Quartet-M, imaging Solo or imaging Symphonie housing frame for mounting and power.

  • Page 6: Features

    Figure 1.1 illustrates a typical hot switch setup. For a smooth transfer to occur when switching between two sources, set the FRZE-MODE to ERR (error on input signal). Immediately after a switch is performed on the routing switcher, FRS-111i will detect an input error thereby performing a freeze. The FRS-111i automatically switches to the last errorless field or black.

    1. In order to remove the housing frame's front panel, gently pull on it. 2. Carefully place the FRS-111i between the card guides and gently push the card towards the rear of the housing frame until the card's edge connector is secured to the backplane.

    REF LED flashes. • When an external reference is present, the video input is frame synchronized with the reference signal; this LED turns on to indicate that the FRS-111i is in frame sync mode. •...
  • Page 14 If the menu is currently being accessed and no push-button has been pressed for 1 minute, the FRS-111i automatically exits from the menu, returning to normal mode. At the same time, changes made to the current parameter will be stored.

  • Page 15: Timing Adjustments

    Note that when the reference is not present and the FRS-111i is locked to the input, a zero phasing (vertical timing and horizontal timing set to 0) is not possible because of the minimum processing delay of the card.

    6. Press ESC to return to TIMG. 7. To return to normal mode, press ESC. 3.4.3 Horizontal Timing Delay The horizontal timing adjustment is made in increments of 37 ns up to a maximum of one video line (63.5 µs in 525-lines format and 64.0 µs in 625-lines format). Follow these steps in order to adjust horizontal timing: 1.

    8. To return to normal mode, press ESC. 3.6 Freeze Functions The FRS-111i has a manual freeze pushbutton situated on the front edge of the module (see figure 3.1 Front Panel Interface) that allows a user to freeze (grab) a video image.

  • Page 18: Freeze Type

    In addition to providing an automatic freeze on incoming signals with detected errors, the FRS-111i has the ability to detect that the incoming video itself is frozen. An alarm is raised once the frozen state has been detected for longer than a user-...

    LED will illuminate and the display will show INFZ), on the rear-panel GPI output, and on iControl. This feature is very useful when the FRS-111i is processing video coming from a circuit prone to failure, such as an MPEG satellite receiver. When most receivers lose the satellite carrier, they freeze their output but do not send an alarm.
