1 SPG-1801 Sync Pulse Generator Module

1.1 Introduction

The SPG-1801 is a sync pulse generator that can be slotted in the Densité frame. It accepts an external

reference input or can receive its reference from the frame reference internal distribution, if the REF-1801

card is present. It offers 2 full flexible outputs, individually configurable for format but also for timing

adjustment. The SPG-1801 can lock on a composite (NTSC/PAL) or tri-level sync. The signal output can be

video (black burst, tri-level sync) or audio (word clock, DARS). In the case of an audio output, the SPG-1801

can also lock on an external DARS or Word Clock.

It is ideal for generating multi-format synchronization signals that can be used in certain areas of a broadcast

or production facility. The fact that it can be slotted in a Densité chassis coupled to the frame distribution card

(REF-1801) makes it a highly-integrated solution for multi sync generation and distribution.

1.2 Features

•Can be slotted in Densité frames

•Accepts either an external genlock input or an internal sync signal from the frame reference card

•fully configurable outputs

•Can generate composite black burst, tri-level sync, DARS or Word Clock

•Up to 1 frame adjustable timing for each individual output

1.5 Application

One interesting application of the SPG-1801 combines the URS4D signal that is distributed to all Densité

slots within the same frame from an REF-1801 card in slot 10, with multiple dual-independent-output SPG-

1801 cards to create a multi-format audio/video reference generation system.

2 Installation

2.1 Unpacking

The following items should be included in the SPG-1801 package:

•SPG-1801 Sync Pulse Generator Module

•SPG-1801-SRP rear panel

•User manual

2.2 Installation in the Densité frame

The SPG-1801 must be mounted in a DENSITÉ-2 frame. The installation includes both the SPG-1801

module, and the rear panel module. It is not necessary to switch off the frame’s power when installing or

removing the card.

Detailed instructions for installing cards and their associated rear panels in the Densité frame are given in

the Densité Frame manual.

2.3 Connection

All connections are made on the rear panel:

•Connect the input reference signal to the BNC marked REF

A loop-through is provided, which should be terminated if unused.

•Connect LTC time-code to the BNC marked LTC IN

•Two programmable sync outputs are available on the SYNC OUT BNC

connectors

3 Operation

3.1 Control Options

The SPG-1801 has two primary control interfaces:

•The local control panel attached to the Densité frame’s controller

•Remote control using Miranda’s iControl system

These will be explained in detail in the following sections.

3.2 Local control using the Densité frame control panel

Push the SELECT button on the SPG-1801 card edge (see Section 1.4) to assign the local control panel to

operate the SPG-1801. Use the control panel buttons to navigate through the menu, as described below.

All of the cards installed in a Densité frame are connected to the frame’s controller card, which handles all

interaction between the cards and the outside world. There are no operating controls located on the cards

themselves. The controller supports remote operation via its Ethernet ports, and local operation using its

integrated control panel.

The local control panel is fastened to the controller

card by a hinged connector, and when installed is

located in the front center of the frame, positioned in

front of the power supplies. The panel consists of a

display unit capable of displaying two lines of text,

each 16 characters in length, and five pushbuttons.

The panel is assigned to operate any card in the frame

by pushing the SELECT button on the front edge of

that card. Pushing the CONTROLLER button on the

control panel selects the Controller card itself. The

STATUS LED on the selected card flashes yellow.

The local control panel displays a menu that can be navigated using the four pushbuttons located beneath

the display. The functionality of the pushbuttons is as follows:

[CTRL] Selects the controller card for status monitoring and adjustment

[+] [–] Used for menu navigation and value modification

[SELECT] Gives access to the next menu level. When a parameter value is shown, pushing this button

once enables modification of the value using the [+] and [–] buttons; a second push confirms the

new value

[ESC] Cancels the effect of parameter value changes that have not been confirmed; pushing [ESC]

causes the parameter to revert to its former value.

Pushing [ESC] moves the user back up to the previous menu level. At the main menu, [ESC]

does not exit the menu system. To exit, re-push the [SELECT] button for the card being

controlled.

If no controls are operated for 30 seconds, the controller reverts to its normal standby status, and the

selected card’s STATUS LED reverts to its normal operating mode.

3.2.1 Status LED

The status monitor LED is located on the front card-edge of the SPG-1801, and is visible through the front

access door of the DENSITÉ frame. This multi-color LED indicates module status by color, and by

flashing/steady illumination, according to the chart. The chart also indicates fault reporting for this card on the

DENSITÉ frame’s serial and GPI interfaces.

3.2.2 Menu for local control

The SPG-1801 has operating parameters which may be adjusted locally at the controller card interface. After

pressing the SELECT button on the SPG-1801 module, use the keys on the local control panel (described

above) to step through the displayed menu and adjust the parameters. The menu is shown below.
