0 and 2 fields. An audio follow pulse is also produced which allows ADDEC-310 to be used with an external audio delay such as the TAD202 The ADDEC-310 will fully integrate with any other interface or keying product from the Crystal Vision range. -
Page 5: Operating Modes
ADDEC-310 12-bit Synchronising Decoder The ADDEC-310 is a 100mm x 266mm module that fits in Crystal Vision’s four standard frame sizes. 24 modules fit in 4U, 12 modules fit in 2U, six in 1U or two in a desktop box. -
Page 6: Analogue Video Formats
Introduction The video delay remains fully adjustable over two complete fields. This allows the output of the ADDEC-310 in synchronisation mode to be timed into any edit suite irrespective of the timing of the black and burst reference used. Audio follow pulse There is also a positive going external TTL level audio follow video (AFV) pulse output, the duration of which reflects the current video delay. -

Selecting the operating Mode The ADDEC-310 has two modes of operation, synchronisation mode and delay line. In Synchronisation mode the unit takes its timing from the analogue external reference and will automatically synchronise sources between 0 and 2 fields.
- Page 20 When selecting RGB the final selection will depend on the format of the RGB signals available. The ADDEC-310 can accept RGB with syncs on all three components, on green only or no syncs. The latter requiring a sync supplied separately. Provision is made for connecting an external RGB sync but at the sacrifice of an SDI output.
