Crystal Vision Introduction Introduction The ADC104 series of 10-bit analogue to digital converters are designed to convert RGBS/YUVS signals to SDI serial digital video. The range consists of the ADC104F which fully meets ITU 601 specifications for component video filtering, the ADC104N which nearly meets the ITU 601 specification and the ADC104FK, designed for use with graphics keys and which accepts only a Y and sync input.
Rear connector options The ADC104 is a single height module and will fit into all Crystal Vision rack frames. Three rear connectors are available, the RM01 providing two outputs, the RM02 providing three outputs plus a sync loop-through output and the RM18 which provides four outputs and a sync loop-through output.
Obey any installation program prompts and restart the PC when prompted Running Statesman for the first time Statesman may be run from the Crystal Vision programs folder via the Start menu or by double-clicking on the Statesman.exe file in the installed program directory (default is C:\Program Files\CrystalVision).
Ensure that DIL lever 10 is set for in the DOWN position for Statesman control. A Warning: message will appear to indicate that Statesman controls may be overridden by the card edge if the ADC104 is set to local mode (DIL lever 10 UP) Page 6 19/09/05...

ADC104OperationalManualV3_2 Using the active control panel The Crystal Vision active control panel is available as an integral part of the FP2-LF front door for the FR2AV 2U frame, the FR1AV frame, and the DTBAV desktop box or as a remote panel. Only one control panel can be connected to any frame, although one panel can control two frames.
When the desired module is selected press the ENTER key to access that module’s HOME menu. The ADC104 home menu Ensure that DIL lever 10 is set for remote control (DOWN) to use the front control panel. Note: 3.1 Navigating the display...
If necessary, use the upward arrow to leave and then re-enter a menu to update the display. 3.2 The ADC104 menu structure The main top-level menus for a module are obtained by pressing the F1, F2, F3 and F4 keys from that module’s HOME menu.
Crystal Vision Using the active control panel Selecting time options The Time menu provides access to the following options: • Adjust horizontal position of SDI output picture from 30 pixels to –30 pixels (+/- 2µs) • Use syncs on green/luminance or external analogue syncs •...
The status display provides the following information: The status menu Description The ADC104 status display shows the presence of the selected reference sync along with the video input standard which may be 525L or 625L. The input standard will only be auto-detected if Jumper J2 is in the AUTO position –...
Crystal Vision Card edge operation Card edge operation Although, the ADC104 may be operated through a remote interface such as the Active Control Panel or Statesman, all functions can be accessed using card edge controls. 4.1 Card edge controls The front edge of the card provides LED status and power rail monitoring, menu selection, rotary set-up control and a ten-way DIL menu selector.

ADC104OperationalManualV3_2 Installation The ADC104 series of analogue component to SDI converters are single height modules, which will fit into all Crystal Vision rack frames. The FR2AV 2U frame will accommodate up to 12 single height Crystal Vision modules and six single height modules will fit in the FR1AV 1U frame.
DOWN GPI control assignment The ADC104 provides 6 GPI lines ‘a’ to ‘f’ which are assigned functions similar to some of the levers on the 10 way piano switch. GPI configuration jumpers J4 to J9 control the function of the available GPIs.
Output RS422 Tx- The RS422 connections to the ADC104 card is accessed via the Remote 1 connector on FR1-6 or FR1AV frame, Remote 1 or Remote 3 connector on a FR2-12 or FR2AV frame and by the 15way Remote connector of the DTB-2 or DTB-AV frame.
Crystal Vision Installation 5.3 GPI connections Each slot has an associated set of connections on the frame rear-panel remote connectors. For convenience, GPI lines are associated with reference codes ‘a’ to ‘f’ in the connector pin-out tables for each frame.
5.4 Setting the line standard selection The 625 / 525 line selection is controlled by jumper links J2 and J3 at the top right of the module. ADC104 line standard jumpers The following table describes the jumper positions required: Setting...
The two ranges are provided to allow one control panel to control two frames. ADC104 Node Address jumper/selector S1 is normally set to position 0 (factory default). If the ADC104 card is used in older frames such as FR2-12 or FR1-6 and these frames are being used with an active front panel then the Hex switch S1 can be used to set the node number (0 to 15) of the card.
Used to select node address in older frames (default position 2-3) On no account should factory set jumpers be moved from their default positions, unless WARNING! guided to do so in this manual or by Crystal Vision support personnel. 18/02/03 Page 27...
