Page 5: Introduction
Crystal Vision Introduction 1 Introduction M-VIVID is a range of 3G/HD/SD-SDI video frame delay software apps that run on the MARBLE-V1 media processor – purpose-built GPU/CPU hardware that fits in the Vision frame. They can be used to match any short or long system delays in IP, SDI or mixed installations, such as those caused by virtual studio graphics, MPEG encoders and decoders, audio processing, HD radio links, satellite links and aggregated signal path delays. - Page 6 Crystal Vision Introduction Internal test patterns • • Support for unicast and multicast transmission • Full range of VLAN support • Supports IGMP V1, V2 and V3 • Flexible remote control and monitoring using frame integrated control panel, VisionPanel remote control panel, ASCII and JSON protocols, SNMP and the web browser-based VisionWeb Control •...

The potentiometers on the card are factory set and should not be adjusted. There are no user-selectable links. The app based MARBLE-V1 cards are intended for use only in the Crystal Vision ‘Vision’ frame range and not in older style frames such as ‘Indigo’. - Page 11 Crystal Vision Hardware Installation M-VIVID100-3 M-VIVID200/400-2 M-VIVID800 SDI 1 SDI Input 1 SDI Input 1 SDI Input 1 SDI 2 SDI Input 2 SDI Input 2 SDI 3 SDI Input 3 SDI 4 SDI Output 1 SDI 5 SDI Output 2...

Page 12: O Configuration
Crystal Vision I/O Configuration 4 I/O Configuration VisionWeb web browser control software is recommended for the configuration of the MARBLE-V1 software apps. This is achieved by entering the IP address of the frame into a web browser (10.0.0.201 on Ethernet port 1 of the frame by default). See the Vision 3 frame manual for more information on VisionWeb and frame configuration and operation. - Page 13 Crystal Vision I/O Configuration In a fully IP environment, the following example shows how the M-VIVID400-2 primary and protect input and output flows could be assigned to individual virtual interfaces. As previously mentioned, it is also possible to assign all flows to the same interface.

Crystal Vision Video Delay 6.2 Output Routing The dual channel M-VIVID400-2/M-VIVID200-2 and triple channel M-VIVID100-3 feature independent video delay on each of the outputs. Default routing is 1>1, 2>2 and 3>3. However, it is possible to route one input to all outputs, with different frame delays set for each output. -
Page 25: References And Output Timing
Crystal Vision References and Output Timing 7 References and Output Timing 7.1 References M-VIVID outputs can be locked to a PTP clock, an analogue tri-level or Black & Burst sync or the SDI input if present and selected as the input protocol. If the chosen reference sources are absent at power up, the outputs will freerun to an internally generated clock. -

Page 32: Unicast Flow Configuration
Crystal Vision Unicast Flow Configuration 10 Unicast Flow Configuration To transmit a unicast flow, the output network video ‘Destination address’ should be the IP address of the downstream Ethernet Interface you want to transmit to. The example below shows that rather than transmitting using a multicast address, interface 1:2 on the M-VIVID is now set to transmit the flow to a downstream device with IP address 192.168.0.80. - Page 33 Crystal Vision Unicast Flow Configuration When receiving a unicast flow, the input network video ‘Multicast address’ should be set to 0.0.0.0. The ‘Source address’ can be one of two options. If set to 0.0.0.0 it will accept any source transmitting to its virtual interface IP address. This is acceptable if it is known only one device at a time will be transmitting to it.
