MORE SYNAPSE FRAMES Although not required to use Cortex with a Synapse frame, you are strongly advised to use a remote personal computer or laptop PC with Axon Cortex installed, as this increases the ease of use and understanding of the modules.
2 Unpacking and Placement Unpacking The Axon Synapse card must be unpacked in an anti-static environment. Care must be taken NOT to touch components on the card – always handle the card carefully by the edges. The card must be stored and shipped in anti-static packaging. Ensuring that these precautions are followed will prevent premature failure from components mounted on the board.
Changing settings The front panel controls or the Axon Cortex can be used to change and parameters settings. An overview of the settings can be found in chapter 5, 6 and 7 of this manual.
Example of With the display as shown below changing parameters using front panel control RRC18 [Select Card] >S01=SFS10 Pressing the ► selects the SFS10 in frame slot 01. The display changes to indicate that the SFS10 has been selected. In this example the Settings menu item is indicated.
Axon Cortex Axon Cortex can be used to change the settings of Synapse modules Software from a PC, either locally or remotely. The software enables communication based on TCP/IP between the Setup PC and Synapse frames/modules. Each Synapse frame is addressed through its rack controller’s unique IP address, giving access to each module, its menus and adjustment items.
4 The U4U100 Card Introduction The U4U100 is a 1080p to 4k (4 wire) up-converter. The low latency unit extracts four quadrants out of a 1080p (1920x1080) and scales each individual part into to 4 full 1920x1080 pictures. Features One 1080p 50 or 59.94 input (level B compliant) ...
5 Settings Menu Introduction The settings menu displays the current state of each setting and allows you to change or adjust it. Settings can be changed using the front panel of the Synapse frame (SFR18, SFR08 or SFR04) or with Cortex.
#H_delay The H-Delay setting allows adjustment of the Horizontal phase of the output signal with respect to the selected reference input. The H-Delay setting gives a delay in addition to the reference timing. For example: if H-Delay is set to 10 pixels, the output signal will be delayed by reference timing + 10 pixels.
NETWORK IP_Conf0 With this setting you can let the card obtain an IP address automatically via DHCP, or appoint a manual set IP address. By default this setting is set to Manual. mIP0 When IP_Conf0 is set to manual, you can type in the preferred IP address here.
6 Status Menu Introduction The status menu indicates the current status of each item listed below. There are no defaults for status indicators. Status depends of input signals being present or not. sInp1 This status item indicates the presence and format of a valid signal in input 1.
7 Events Menu Introduction An event is a special message that is generated on the card asynchronously. This means that it is not the response to a request to the card, but a spontaneous message. What is the Goal of The goal of events is to inform the environment about a changing an event? condition on the card.

8 LED Indication Error LED The error LED indicates an error if the internal logic of the card is not configured correctly or has a hardware failure. Input_1 LED This LED indicated the presence of a valid SDI video signal on input Reference LED Indicated the presence of a valid reference signal on the selected reference input connector (ref-1 or ref-2).
