    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 electronics see section 2.4.

    9625DSK-LGA Downstream Media Keyer Manual When the downstream keyer layer is enabled, the video present on the FILL/B video input is mixed with the background video (on the BKG/A input) based on the key signal provided on the KEY/C video input, or it can be self-keyed, using user defined thresholds. See section 3.10 for information about setting up the DSK MODE and other settings...

    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. On the Output Bus buttons, when they are On solid that indicates the status for the Program output buss, and when they are flashing that indicates the status for the preview output buss.

    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. Figure 3-3 gives an overview of the Setup menu system.

    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 95: Tft Decoder Configuration

    The TFT unit has a number of communications 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.
