1 Introduction
The DEC102S is an analogue composite or Y/C to serial digital video decoder. It contains
a 10-bit synchroniser allowing the serial digital output to be timed to an analogue
reference.
Two main operating modes are supported, 10-bit for professional quality PAL or NTSC
video and 8-bit for less stable PAL or NTSC video, as is often the case with VHS or
satellite feeds.
The decoder is fitted with a line based adaptive comb. It is also designed to accommodate
jittery or damaged signals and will automatically switch to its tolerant 8-bit decoder mode
when a non-stable signal is received.
The main features are as follows:
•compact single height module
•converts any composite or Y/C signal to SDI
•frame synchroniser
•10-bit adaptive comb plus 8-bit input modes
•automatic or manual PAL/NTSC standard selection
•adjustable timing, gain and black level
•audio follow pulse for audio to video delay tracking
•loop or terminate external analogue video reference input
•card edge, Statesman and remote control facilities

Crystal Vision Introduction
4DEC102SUser ManualV1.0 05/11/03
The DEC102S is a 100mm x 266mm module, which fits in the all standard frames and
can be integrated with any boards from the company’s full product range. It uses the
single height RM01, double height RM18 and triple height RM02 rear connectors in
Indigo and other Crystal Vision frames.
Operating modes
To provide optimum performance with a wide range of sources the DEC102S can operate
in a number of different modes.
10-bit input modes Description
10-bit Comb PAL/NTSC
composite
Uses a line-based comb decoder, which mixes to simple decoder
when the comb would produce artefacts.
10-bit Y/C (S-video) Suitable for use with well-timed sources.
8-bit composite
8-bit Y/C (S-video)
All 8-bit modes use a robust simple decoder. These highly tolerant
modes are particularly suitable for use with poorly timed sources
such as VHS recorders or satellite feeds.
Each operating mode has its own luminance and chrominance gain, offset and phase
settings and both 525 and 625 line standards have separate horizontal and vertical timing
settings. All these parameters are automatically maintained when power is cycled.
Output timing
Horizontal and vertical timing adjustments are provided that operate relative to one of
three analogue timing references. These are an external reference, the video input or an
internal free-running clock. The external reference can be video or composite syncs
although a composite black and burst plus 300mV syncs into 75 Ohm as per EBU N14-
1988 is preferred.
If no analogue reference is provided the board will either time itself relative to the
composite or Y/C video input in 10 bit modes, or it will time its output to a free running
clock in 8 bit modes.
A horizontal offset delay adjustment varies the timing of the input video relative to input
syncs and blanking in 10-bit mode whichever source is the active reference.
Audio follow pulse
To allow an audio delay to track the delay through the DEC102S, a TTL level pulse is
provided. This pulse is output every frame. The length of the pulse (the time between the
rising and falling edge) is the same as the delay through the synchroniser.
Manual scope
This manual refers to module firmware version 6.86 or later.

2 Statesman
The Crystal Vision Statesman PC control software is designed to control a range of
Crystal Vision modules via serial control from a PC.
The main Statesman application communicates with each module in a frame through an
active control panel with or without an LCD display. Statesman will not be able to detect
modules used in a frame with only a passive front panel.
2.1 Installing Statesman
Minimum pre-requisites:
•A PC running Windows 98, NT4 with SP 5 or higher Windows 2000 or
Windows XP
•A parallel port dongle supplied with the Statesman software package
•An RS422 serial connection from the host PC to the Remote 2 connector on an
FR1AV or FR2AV Crystal Vision frame with at least one DEC102S module
and/or other Statesman compatible module
•An active control panel MUST be fitted to the frame with version 1.63 or above
firmware – if it is an Indigo frame the firmware must be V1.04 or above
•An optional RS422 to RS232 converter if the PC has no RS422 ports
Installing Statesman
•Refer to the readme and/or help file on the CD before proceeding
•To view all application windows, set graphics resolution to at least 1024 x 768
•Remove any previous version of the Statesman software using the Add/Remove
Programs application in the Windows Control Panel
•Ensure that the Statesman dongle is fitted to the parallel port of the host PC
•Insert the Statesman CD and the installation should start immediately – if it
does not, run the setup.exe file on the CD
•Obey any installation program prompts and restart the PC when prompted
Running Statesman for the first time
The Statesman PC Control System may be run from the Crystal Vision programs folder
via the Start menu or by double-clicking on the Crystal Vision.exe file in the installed
program directory.
When the program runs it will require licence information and an administrator name and
password. It will also need to know which computer port is being used to connect to a
Crystal Vision frame(s).
Note: For further details of Statesman configuration please refer to the Statesman manual.

2.2 Statesman operation
Once Statesman is configured it should automatically detect any statesman compatible
modules in the connected frame or frames and display them in the main application left
hand explorer-style window.
Open any frame by clicking on the ‘+’ sign or by double clicking on a frame. Installed
modules should be shown with module icons. Frame and module icons can be named as
desired by right-clicking or using the edit menu and choosing rename.
To aid user recognition of module and frame status quickly, the following colour and size
coding is used:
•A module is shown present by full colour and absent by greyed colour
•A module is shown open by large icon size and closed by small icon
•A module is the source of an active alarm if red and not alarmed if green
Double-clicking on a module will enable the display of the main application menus.
Statesman main application window
The two large control panes shown in the upper and lower halves of the window may
display different menus for the same card, or controls for different cards. Click on the
horizontal button-bar between the two panes to close the lower plane or drag the button to
vary the size of the panes.
Note: For further details of Statesman configuration and operation please refer to the Statesman
manual.

ON: 7.5 IRE subtracted from black level, gain increased
OFF: Black level and gain settings assume no 7.5 IRE offset
Note: Vertical Blanking Interval data is normally present in PAL on lines 7-22 and 319-335 and in
NTSC on lines 10-20 and 273-282.
Status
Status indications are as follows:

Input presence Green when input detected. Grey when no input detected.
Reference present Yellow when analogue reference detected. Grey when no input detected.
Note: Refer to the installation section for details of the external analogue reference input loop or
terminate link on the module itself.

Gain, black level and phase adjustment
The level adjustment tab provides access to the following:
•Luma and Chroma gain
•U and V gain
•Black level
•Phase/Hue – 10 bit mode only
Level adjustment controls
Setting gain and black level
The gain and black level adjustments are independent for 8 and 10 bit modes as well as
Composite and Y/C modes. For example, if the unit is set up in 10 bit mode and
subsequently adjusted in 8 bit mode, the 10 bit adjustments are maintained and will be
restored when 10 bit operation is resumed.
There are effectively four sets of independent gain and black level adjustments; 8 bit
composite, 10 bit Composite, 8 bit Y/C and 10 bit Y/C.
Adjusting phase/hue
The phase adjustment is separate for each video standard and for composite and Y/C
inputs. This adjustment is available in 10-bit mode only.
The Phase/Hue control adjusts chroma phase relative to burst. The range of adjustment is
360 degrees, in steps of roughly 0.1degrees. When the maximum adjustment is reached
the value wraps around to zero.
Recalling defaults
To recall default settings press the 'Cal' button.
