Output Video Colour: Options are Black or Blue, this is the colour that will be output when the input is lost. NOTE: Using Blue is a good compliment to the Evertz MVP/VIP systems, which by default, use Green to signify loss of the input. Thus a blue screen will indicate a loss of source at the encoder, not at the MVP/VIP. -

7800 MultiFrame Manual 7880DEC-MP2HD-2 Dual HD MPEG-2 Decoder 4.2.1. P1 Necessary for Decoding • TS_sync_loss: The most important function for the evaluation of data from the MPEG-2 TS is the sync acquisition. The actual synchronization of the TS depends on the number of correct sync bytes necessary for the device to synchronize;... - Page 27 7800 MultiFrame Manual 7880DEC-MP2HD-2 Dual HD MPEG-2 Decoder • PCR_repetition_error: The PCRs are used to re-generate the local 27 MHz system clock. If the PCR do not arrive with sufficient regularity then this clock may jitter or drift. The receiver/decoder may even go out of lock. This error indicates that the time interval between two consecutive PCR values is more than 40 ms.
