Page 4: Introduction
Introduction 1 Introduction SYN HD is a High Definition/Standard Definition serial digital synchroniser/delay module with two outputs and two input loop-throughs. There is also an audio follow output, and input for an external analogue reference. It has two fields of output timing adjustment and a short minimum delay of 2µs. -
Page 5: Operating Modes
Crystal Vision Introduction SYN HD is a 100mm x 266mm module, which fits in the four standard frames and can be integrated with any board from the company’s full product range. It uses the RM34 rear connector. The serial digital output has virtually no output jitter (less than 0.2U at 1kHz SD and 0.2UI at 100kHz HD), both when used as a synchroniser (with a stable analogue... -
Page 6: Analogue Timing Reference
In either mode the video delay remains fully adjustable over two complete fields. This allows the output of the SYN HD to be timed into any edit suite irrespective of the timing of the black and burst reference used in synchroniser mode. -

Hardware installation 2 Hardware installation The SYN HD single height module uses the RM34 rear connector that will fit into all Crystal Vision rack frames. All modules can be plugged in and removed while the frame is powered without damage. -
Page 8: Module Configuration
Hardware installation 2.2 Module configuration There is only one link on the SYN HD that can be set by the user. This is PL7, which is situated beside the rear board connector. When linked PL7 will terminate the reference input with 75 ohm. For high impedance reference input the link on PL7 should be stowed on a single pin for safekeeping. - Page 9 6 in each case and +5V @500mA is pin 15 on Remote 2.
