Page 101: How To Operate The Downstream Keyer Using The Desktop Control Panel
HOW TO OPERATE THE DOWNSTREAM KEYER USING THE DESKTOP CONTROL PANEL The 9625DSK-LGA is available as a 1RU chassis with a separate 1RU desktop remote control panel. This chapter describes the operation of the 9625DSK-LGA using the desktop remote control panel. For information about connecting the desktop remote control panel to the 9625DSK-LGA see section 2.4.
Page 102: An Overview Of Key And Display Functions
The illuminated buttons will come ON to indicate that their controlled function is active. The buttons are used to provide control of the 9625DSK-LGA, to switch the various input sources, and to navigate the front panel Setup menu system, a quick and simple method of configuring the 9625DSK-LGA Downstream Keyer for your application.
Page 103: Transition Button Group
9625DSK-LGA Downstream Media Keyer Manual To control the downstream keyer layer, first select the bus you want the downstream key to appear on using the PGM and PRV buttons. To enable the downstream keyer layer on the selected output video bus, press the DSK button. The button LED will be illuminated (On Solid for Program Bus, flashing for Preview Bus).
Page 104: Dsk Button Group
9625DSK-LGA Downstream Media Keyer Manual RATE: This button provides immediate access to the Transition Rate menu item of the TRANSITION menu. See section 3.10.2 for more information on the Transition Type menu item. After pressing the RATE button you may use the shaft encoders to cycle through the Transition rate range measured in video frames.
Page 105: Function Button Group
LED key will go OFF indicating that the panel controls are enabled. BYPASS: This button is used to operate the bypass relays in the 9625DSK-LGA. When the bypass relays are in Bypass mode, the BKG/A video input will be directly connected to the PROG SDI output, and the AES PROG inputs will be directly connected to the AES PROG outputs.
Page 106: Setup Button Group
SHAFT ENCODERS operate the same when you are in the menu system. 4.1.7. Control Panel Status Indicators The illuminated buttons show operational status of the 9625DSK-LGA at a glance. When they are on they indicate that the function associated with the button is active. The solid LED Output Bus buttons indicate the status for the Program output bus, and when the buttons are flashing the status of the preview output bus is indicated.
Page 107: Overview Of Desktop Control Panel Operation
4.2.1. Audio Follow Video Switching The 9625DSK-LGA has two video buses and two sets of four audio buses. The 9625DSK-LGA can be used as a simple two input audio follow video switcher. In this mode the audio on the AES PROG audio inputs will follow the BKG/A video input and the audio on the ALT AES audio inputs will follow the FILL/B video input when audio is configured accordingly in the HTML Setup page.
Page 108: Displaying Logos
The SETUP menu system uses the 16 digit alphanumeric display and provides a quick, intuitive method of configuring the 9625DSK-LGA. These items are often only required to be set up at installation time, and do not pertain to the day-to-day operation of the unit.

Page 111: Optional Eas Decoder Interface (Eas Optioned Units Only)
OPTIONAL EAS DECODER INTERFACE (EAS OPTIONED UNITS ONLY) The 9625DSK-LGA with the EAS option fitted is the perfect solution for on-air insertion of channel branding bugs and Emergency Alert Service messages. The 9625DSK-LGA is designed to receive Emergency Alert message data and audio from a Sage or TFT EAS decoder unit and insert it over the program video and audio.
Page 112: Connecting The Serial Port
RS232 cable into the COM 2 port of the Sage decoder. If this port is already in use you may use the COM 6 port. The Sage port must be configured to output the type of data that the 9625DSK-LGA unit is expecting. To do this, follow these steps on the Sage unit.
Page 113: Tft Decoder Configuration
The TFT unit has a number of communication ports on the rear of the unit marked as COM 1 to COM 3 and J103 and J104. The baud rate is fixed at 9600 within the 9625DSK-LGA and it is configured to communicate using the Alternate TFT I/F for Trilithic EAS Sytems ALT1 option.

9625DSK-LGA to ‘duck insert’ the emergency audio into the program audio. For the sake of simplicity only one GPI will be described in this section. Connect the tally output from the decoder to the GPI A input on the 9625DSK-LGA. (See Table 2-4 for a pinout of the GPIO connector on the keyer unit.) 5.2.
