When the FS1 outputs video, it locks to this reference signal. Reference video does not need to be the same format as the video input/ outputs, but it must have the same vertical rate (for example, 1080i Tri-level reference video will work for 525 video input and output).

    FS1 IP Address and netmask fields filter keystrokes and only allow legal characters. The FS1 also checks the format of the entry to ensure it is valid; if found to be invalid, the background of the IP Address or netmask will turn red. If you click the Update button while an invalid entry exists in one of the these fields, the FS1 will display an error dialog—you must correct the error before updating.

    A Port number for the TCP/IP port to be used for trap messages from the FS1 to the NMS must also be specified (UDP Port 162 is the default). Two sets of Trap Destination IP and Port numbers are provided so you can send trap messages in parallel to two NMS.

    When set to Enable Both, the FS1 issues SNMP trap messages to Trap Destination 1 and 2 (parameters 51.2 and 51.4) and as defined in the MIB. When SNMP is enabled, one or more of 4 alarms may be sent by the FS1 to the client NMS as a trap message: Power supply failure or disconnection: fs1PSAlarm (see parameter 60.1)
  • Page 114 The trap message would be sent to server-based external network management systems (NMS). These trap destinations must have a fixed IP address that you have pre-defined (FS1 parameters 51.2 and 51.4 must be set to point to these, if used). 51.2 SNMP Trap Dest 1...

  • Page 118 The following illustration shows typical external wiring to the GPI connector. The GPI inputs require some kind of contact closure between the input pin and the input ground pin to register the logic low that triggers the GPI input. You can connect the outputs to TTL buffers that communicate the GPI output logic levels to other devices.

    Appendix E: Glossary Reference Terms 3:2 Pull Down 3:2 pull down is a process where six frames are added to a film’s original 24- frames-per-second format so that it can work within the 30 fps NTSC standard. A term for 24 full frames per second digital video progressively captured. It generally refers to the HD format of 1920x1080, although it is also used with 1280x720 images as well.
  • Page 132 16:9 Refers to the aspect ratio of movie screen and widescreen DTV formats used in all HDTV (High Definition TV) and some SDTV (Standard Definition TV). The ratio is 16 arbitrary units of width for every 9 arbitrary units of height. The aspect ratio of traditional National Television Systems Committee (NTSC) TV screens.

Frame Rate The rate at which frames are displayed per second. Frame rates are used in synchronizing audio and pictures for video and film.
  • Page 134 Resolution Resolution usually refers to the density of lines, and dots per line, that represent an image. It is measured by the number of pixels displayed. A higher number of lines and dots provides sharper and more detailed picture content.
