Page 7: Unpacking And Placement
Placing the card The Synapse card can be placed vertically in an SFR18 frame or horizontally in an SFR04 and SFR08 frame. Locate the two guide slots to be used, slide in the mounted circuit board, and push it firmly to locate the connectors. -
Page 8: A Quick Start
A Quick Start When Powering- On powering up the Synapse frame, the card set will use basic data and default initialisation settings. All LED’s will light during this process. After initialisation, several LED’s will remain lit – the exact number and configuration is dependant upon the number of inputs connected and the status of the inputs. -

Page 11: The Dbd18 Card
The DBD18 card Introduction The DBD18 is a quad speed ADD-ON Dolby E decoder. The card is designed for the use with the Synapse high efficient quad speed multiplexing audio bus. The quad speed bus enables ADD-ON cards to be connected with a master card and have both input and output signals connected to this card for convenient routing and integration. -

Appendix 1 Quad speed ADD-ON bus The internal audio ADD-ON bus needs an upgrade. We want Scope more channels (32 per video stream seems possible in the near future). And we want the bus to be bidirectional, so 32 channels in and 32 channels out at the same time. The new interface needs to be compatible with all existing hardware (frames) and in the implementation of the master card it needs to be backward compatible with the original ADD-... -

Page 26: Multiplexing
Multiplexing The injection of processed audio into the master card works differently then you were used to with the original audio ADD-ON bus. The brown large arrow will always carry 32 channels from ADD-ON to ADD-ON, or from ADD-ON to Master Card. If the actual channels are used or which channels are used is determined in the ADD-ON card.
