Rear Module Installation The TSI-100 requires a Ross Video Rear I/O Module with GPIO jacks. You will need to install the I/O module in your openGear frame before you can install the TSI-100 in the frame, or connect cables to the slot you have chosen for the TSI-100.
Note — Video bypass is available with the ONG-MDL-R01,R21 and R23 rear modules. A monitor output is available with the ONG-MDL-R02 and R22 modules. Rear modules ONG-MDL-R02 and R22 have isolated GPIO outputs and ONG-MDL-R01,R21 and R23 produce 0-3.3V logic levels. Board Installation Use the following procedure to install the TSI-100 in an openGear distribution frame: Notice —...
Cable Connections This section provides information for connecting cables to the installed rear modules on the frame backplane. Connect the input and output cables according to the following diagram. It is not necessary to terminate unused outputs. Note that the BNCs are numbered 1-10 by convention, even though some may not be installed.
Page 19
BNC 1 ASI Input (May be labelled VID IN or SDI IN) This jack accepts an ASI video signal. The TSI-100 requires this input in all cases. For convenience, it routes a reclocked copy of this signal to BNC3. The input signal is internally terminated in 75 ohms when the TSI-100 is installed.

User Controls Figure 4 shows the front edge of the TSI-100. Following the illustration are descriptions of the controls and indicators identified here. Figure 4. Card-edge User Controls Bypass Switch If the TSI-100 is installed in a rear module such as the ONG-MDL-R01 that has a bypass relay, this two-position pushbutton can be used to control the relay.
LEDs The front-edge of the card features LEDs that display the status of the input signals. Descriptions are provided in the following table: Table 1. Selection and Status LED Descriptions Color Location Display and Description When off, there is no power. When lit and green the card is running with valid input.

In This Chapter This chapter provides a detailed explanation of the functions available when using DashBoard to monitor and control the TSI-100. The program is available for download from the Ross Video website. The following topics are discussed in this chapter: •...
Layout and Navigation This section focuses on the use of the DashBoard program to control and monitor a TSI-100. For a more complete description of DashBoard and its capabilities, please refer to the documentation supplied with the program. Selecting a TSI-100 Module Figure 5 shows a typical DashBoard screen.
Product Status The left side of this figure shows product information that is useful in discussing the operation of the module with Ross Video’s Technical Support staff. Figure 5. Main TSI-100 DashBoard Screen, showing Product Status and Settings DashBoard and TSI-100 Status • 4-3...
GPIO Status Figure 6 shows the status of the GPIO outputs. The TSI-100 controls 2 GPIOs: output GPIO1 it active high (GPIO1 is high when the TSID does not match or no transport stream is present) and GPIO2 is active low. Figure 6.
Setting Up the TSI-100 In This Chapter This chapter explains how to use the user interface to set up the TSI-100. This discussion is based on the use of DashBoard through a network connection, however most of these functions are also available through the local Heads-up Display.
Settings Figure 8 shows the screen that is displayed by clicking the Settings tab. Figure 8. Settings Menu The Card ID field allows you to assign a unique name to a TSI-100 card. This is especially useful if you have more than one TSI-100 in a frame.
TSID Setup Figure 9 shows the screen that is displayed by clicking the TSID Setup tab. Figure 9. TSID Setup The TSID Value is a 4 digit hex value the user sets. If the incoming signal contains a TSID that doesn’t match this value the GPIOs become active.
Alarms Figure 10 shows the screen that is displayed by clicking the Alarms tab. Figure 10. Alarm Setup The TSI-100 has several alarms that can affect the overall status of the card. If you wish to disable an individual alarm uncheck the corresponding checkbox. A Note on GPIOs The TSI-100 has two active GPIOs.
Using the On-screen Menus In This Chapter This chapter explains how to use the Menu functions available on the Heads-Up Display of the TSI- 100. It does not describe each available menu; for information on these, see the chapters that describe the menus available through DashBoard.
Layout and Navigation The Menu Switch is a five-direction square finger joystick located near the front edge of the TSI-100 card. With the card edge facing you, use the following menu switch actions to navigate the menu and configure parameters: •...
