Page 4: Introduction
It also offers the latest in comb technology, with a five-line comb resulting in exceptional decoding. Timing, gains and levels are also adjustable. The ADDEC-100 will fully integrate with any other interface or keying product from the Crystal Vision range. The large choice of control options, which include board edge control, local or remote active control panel and the Statesman PC Control System afford further flexibility. -
Page 5: Operating Modes
PC control is also available using Crystal Vision’s Statesman PC control software. Note: When the ADDEC-100 is set to remote control mode the position of the board edge switches may not reflect the actual configuration of the card. Returning the card to local control will reassert the board edge configuration. -
Page 6: Hardware Installation
The ADDEC-100 single height module uses the RM01 and RM24 single height, RM27 double height and RM25 quad height (Indigo 2 and Indigo 4 frames only) rear connectors and fits into all Crystal Vision rack frames. All modules can be plugged in and removed while the frame is powered without damage. -

RM25 • 9 ADDEC-100 modules per Indigo 4 frame • 9 per Indigo 2 frame • Not supported by Indigo 1 or Indigo DT frames • Two top slots and bottom slot can be used ADDEC-100 User Manual R1.1 19/06/2007... -
Page 8: Rear Module Connections With Rm27
The RM27 is a dual height rear module, which although restricts the number that can be fitted into each style of frame, allows the maximum number of outputs - up to four serial digital. When fitted the ADDEC-100 uses the top slot of any pair. RM27 fits in all frames... -
Page 9: Module Configuration
For details of fitting rear connectors please refer to the appropriate frame manual. Module configuration The ADDEC-100 has four user selectable jumper links, which are used to configure both the Component U / YC-C / Serial digital output and the Component V / SDI output. -

Statesman 5 Statesman The Crystal Vision Statesman PC control software is designed to control a range of Crystal Vision modules via serial control from a PC. The main Statesman application communicates with each module in a frame that is fitted with an active front panel. -
Page 22: Status
The 7.5% IRE setup present on the NTSC-M format can be suppressed by checking the NTSC-M box. Betacam Input format The ADDEC-100 is able to accept Betacam YprPb format input where the PrPb component has been boosted in amplitude by 1.333. Select Betacam input signal levels by checking the Betacam box. -
Page 23: Trouble Shooting
6 Trouble shooting Card edge, active front panel and Statesman may all be used to aid in trouble shooting the ADDEC-100. Of the above, using the card edge would be the most effective way to investigate any flagged errors. 6.1 Card edge monitoring Status LEDs Board edge LEDs provide status reporting and may be useful when fault finding. -
Page 24: Fault Finding Guide
It is safe to re-insert the card whilst the rack is powered. Re-setting the card If for some unexplained reason the ADDEC-100 is not acting as expected re-powering the card will reload the current setup from non-volatile memory. The card may be reloaded by simply removing the card from the frame then re-inserting it. -
