The serial digital video output is optional and may not be fitted on your unit.
Model 8025 Digital Video Keyer Manual On 8025 units with an 8 digit display there was a labeling error on the rear panel connections. The actual functions of the CTL and Fill connectors are reversed. The FILL2 connector is actually the one labelled CTL 2 and the CTL 2 connector is actually the one labeled FILL 2.
2.2. MOUNTING The 8025 Digital Video Keyer is equipped with a rack mounting tray and fits into a standard 19 inch by 1 3/4 inch (483 mm x 45 mm) rack space. The 8025 may be removed from the rack mounting tray if rack mounting is not desired.
PARALLEL or SERIAL input is accomplished on the front panel, if the serial input option is installed. The 8025 may be configured to accept either 525 or 625 digital video in either component (4:2:2) or composite (4Fsc) format. Selection of the correct video type is accomplished using the front panel menu system.
When the KEY CTL signal is active (low) the 8025 samples the KEY FILL signal at each digital clock and keys in a digital black value if the KEY FILL is low and a digital white value if the Key FILL is high.

SHIFT Figure 3-2: Version B Front Panel Layout There are two different versions of 8025 hardware. Version A has an 8 digit display located on the right hand side of the gray front panel. Version B has an 12 digit display located in the middle of the black front panel.
Engineering Setup Mode provides additional configuration items which should only be used by qualified engineering personnel. The 8025 will automatically return to the operating mode if no key presses are made for several seconds. When in either of the Setup modes, the $ & % arrow keys are used to move up or down the main items in the menu system.
3.1.3. An Overview of the Status Indicators There are 8 status indicators located on the front panel that show operational status of the 8025 at a glance. Indicates that the video input is from the serial input. If it is blinking, it indicates that the Serial video input is selected, but a valid digital video signal is not present.
Model 8025 Digital Video Keyer Manual 3.1.5. An Overview of the Front Panel Programming Menu The key to the operational flexibility of the 8025 Digital Video Keyer lies in the front panel programming menu system. The programming menu system uses the 8 digit alphanumeric display and provides a quick, intuitive method of configuring 8025 Digital Video Keyer, guiding you to the correct setup for your application.
PROGRAMMING THE 8025 OPERATIONAL MODES The front panel menu is used to configure the basic operational modes of the 8025 Digital Video Keyer such as selecting which video input will be used, what type of video is present, etc. VIDEO TYPE Is used to program the 8025 for the digital video format.

4.2.1. DIP Switch Functions The main circuit board of the model 8025 contains an 8 position DIP switch which is used to invoke various diagnostic and calibrations functions. The functions of each switch are described below.
Analog Composite Monitor (optional) The microcontroller, serial and parallel video inputs and outputs, and keyer LCA circuits are all contained on the main circuit card (8025). The display and keypad circuitry is contained on a separate circuit board (5220) which plugs into the main board via a twenty conductor ribbon cable.
Model 8025 Digital Video Keyer Manual 4.3.1. Microcontroller (8025-36) At the heart of the model 8025 keyer is an 8032 microcontroller, (MCU) U19. Its three 8 bit bi-directional ports and 8 bit bus provide peripheral interfacing to the rest of the circuits. Program memory is contained on EPROM U21.
SMPTE 125 ECL level clock and data signals to TTL compatible levels used throughout the rest of the 8025. These TTL level signals are fed to the A inputs of input multiplexes U7, U8, and U9. To conserve power the ECL to TTL translators are powered by relays PRLY1 and PRLY2 only when the parallel inputs are selected (using the setup menus).
9005 is set by trim pots VR2 for 270 MHz, VR1 for 143 MHz, and VR3 for 173 MHz. The 8025 works only in the 270 MHz component format so only VR2 is relevant. The capture range can be adjusted with the following procedure.
To adjust the video level of the analog output, connect a test pattern source (e.g. colour bars) to the digital video input of the 8025. Adjust the GAIN trimpot (VR1) so that the output amplitude of the colour bar signal is 1 volt p-p.
