- 1 Product overview
- Figure 1: Simplified block diagram of the ADC-SDI card
- The Flashlink ADC-SDI is a high-quality 10-bit NTSC/PAL composite 4:2:2 to digital video converter.
- ADC-SDI user parameters can be changed via switches on the unit, or via the GYDA control interface.
- To aid digital to analogue conversion of the digital output the ADC-SDI may generate a white pulse to mark first field of an 8-field-PAL/4-field-NTSC signal. If the digital to analogue converter is able to detect this, it will synchronize to the correct field (8-field-PAL/4-field-NTSC) when synchronizing to an external Black & Burst-generator. The Flashlink DAC-SDI is able to do this.
- 1. Attach Analogue input (CVBS or S-Video) and SDI-output to the backplane module (see Figure 2).
- 2. Set DIP-switch 1 on (towards backplane), switches 2 and 3 according to the Input Channel search-mode you want (see Table 3).
- 3. Insert ADC-SDI into a slot in the sub-rack.
- 4. Power on. After some seconds the ADC-SDI should be running, and the input should be detected. No LED should be red and the SDI output should be active. If this is not the case, please see section 5.1.
- 1. Attach Analogue input (CVBS or S-Video) and SDI-output to the backplane module (see Figure 2).
- 2. Insert ADC-SDI into a slot in the sub-rack.
- 3. Power on. After some seconds the ADC-SDI should be running, and the input should be detected. No LED should be red and the SDI output should be active. The card settings should be as the previous time power was applied.
- 4. Communication with the card is described in section 5.3.

- 3 Configuration
- The Analogue input is identified, the synchronization information in the analogue signal is detected, and the analogue signal is digitized to a 10-bit parallel signal in a dedicated chip. A FPGA adds EDH-information and Field 1 marking. Finally a chip serializes and scrambles the signal, and drives the resulting 270 Mb/s SDI-signal onto three output connectors.
- The ADC-SDI card actually has two EEPROM's. A small EEPROM is included in the microcontroller, while a larger external EEPROM holds the configuration memory of the FPGA and the input video chip.
- State variables are written to EEPROM in the microcontroller each time a configuration change is made. Basically, the card remembers it's setting between power-downs.
- The configuration memory of the FPGA and the input video chip is upgradeable. This is, however, a task for qualified maintenance personnel.
- At power-up, the card performs a self-check, and initiation. The manual mode switch is then sampled. If manual mode is enabled, the other switch settings are read and the state of the card set accordingly. If manual mode is disabled, the state the card held the previous time it was used is read from EEPROM. The interplay between the EEPROM, the switches and the GYDA (or other) controller adheres to the following simple rules:
- If a GYDA controller is present in a system, it can always override manual settings.
- If the manual mode is used together with a GYDA controller, the ADC-SDI will initiate as determined by the switches, and may then be overridden by the controller.
- If the manual mode is not used, the ADC-SDI will initiate as determined by the state of the EEPROM. It is subsequently controlled by the GYDA controller.
- At any time, when a state change is done, whether it be by switches or GYDA, the state is stored in the EEPROM as soon as it is detected.
- ADC-SDI will search for an input-signal, try to identify it and hopefully find a signal it can lock to.
- ADC-SDI has 2 input channels with 3 types of input:
- CVBS Channel 1
- CVBS Channel 2
- S-Video: Luma Channel 1, Chroma Channel 2.
- To search for input ADC-SDI has 4 channel search modes:
- Automatic ADC-SDI searches for any possible input signal type. When a signal is detected, it tries to lock to it, and stops searching.
- CVBS Ch. 1 ADC-SDI searches for CVBS input on channel 1, and ignores other input types. When a signal is detected, it tries to lock to it, and stops searching.
- CVBS Ch. 2 ADC-SDI searches for CVBS input on channel 2, and ignores other input types. When a signal is detected, it tries to lock to it, and stops searching.
- S-Video ADC-SDI searches for S-Video input, Luma on channel 1, chroma on channel 2, and ignores other input types. When a signal is detected, it tries to lock to it, and stops searching.
- If the input type is changed while the card is running, or the signal is missing or lost, the card will start searching for the type of signal defined by the channel search mode. Channel search mode settings are described in sections 6 and 7.3.
- The ADC-SDI module has 4 different luma / chroma separation filters to select between.
- This filter will adaptively select between 3-line (½, 0, ½) comb filter and no comb filter.
- Adaptive comb filter is available for both luminance and chrominance. The adaptive comb filter algorithm computes the vertical and horizontal contours of colour based on a block of 3x3 pixels. If there is a sharp colour transition, comb filtering is applied to the two lines that have fewer colour changes. If there is no colour transition, 3-line comb filtering is used with filter coefficients (½, 0, ½).
- The comb filter can be selectively bypassed in luma or chroma path. If the comb filter is bypassed in the luma path, then chroma trap filters are used which has a characteristic according to CCIR601.
- The adaptive comb filter algorithm reduces artefacts such as hanging dots at colour boundary and detects and properly handles false colour in high frequency luminance images such as a multi burst pattern or circle pattern.
- This filter will adaptively select between 3-line (¼, ½, ¼) comb filter and no comb filter, same functionality as the above, but with different filter coefficients.
- This is a fixed 2-line comb filter with no adaptive selection.
- This filter has no comb filter enabled. The luma signal will be filtered with a chroma trap, and the chroma signal will be filtered with a low pass filter.

- The factory default filter setting is: Adaptive 3-line comb filter with filter coefficients (½,0,½).
- 4 Connections
- The ADC-SDI has its own connector module: ADC-SDI-C1, mounted at the rear of the sub-rack.
- Figure 2: ADC-SDI-C1 connector module.
- If the connector module is purchased separately, it should be mounted as described in the user manual for the sub-rack frame FR-2RU-10-2. This manual is also available from our web site: http://www.network-electronics.com/
- The ADC-SDI-C1 connector module has 7 BNC's:
- Ch1
- Analog input: CVBS or S-Video Luma
- Ch2
- Analog input: CVBS or S-Video Chroma
- Dup1
- Passive loop through Ch1.
- Dup2
- Passive loop through Ch2.
- SDI1
- Digital SDI output
- SDI2
- Digital SDI output
- SDI3
- Digital SDI output
- The analogue input BNC's can be used with CVBS, one at a time, or together with S-Video Luma on Ch1 and Chroma on Ch2. SDI1, SDI2 and SDI3 are equivalent SDI outputs.
- The backplane has a DIP-switch with two individual switches, as shown in Figure 2. Switch 1 is used to turn on/off 75 ohm termination on input channel 1, and switch 2 is used to turn on/off 75 ohm termination on input channel 2.
- The analogue input must be terminated somewhere to enable the video decoder chip.
- Figure 3: ADC-SDI simplified silkscreen (figure not to scale).
- 5 Operation
- Summary: Green LEDs are good, red LEDs are bad.
- ADC-SDI implements four Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) that show the state of the card. The LEDs are visible through the front-panel of the rack (see the user manual of FR-2RU-10-2 for details). The LEDs are described top-down, see also Figure 3.
- No Light
- No power, fuse F1 blown, LED malfunction or configuration memory lost.
- Red
- A fundamental, probably electrical, error has been detected. The card is set in a passive state, so that it does not disturb other cards in the rack. While powering on, the CardState LED will light red for approximately 0.5 s while the card undergoes self-test.

- Summary: Most users will probably want switches 1, 6 and 10 in on position and the rest in off position. All users should place switch 10 in the on position.
- The ADC-SDI card implements a Dual-Inline switch (DIP-switch) that provides 10 individual On/Off switches. The purpose of the switches is to offer you an easy interface to some features of the ADC-SDI card, without the need of a GYDA controller. Table 2 gives the general layout of the switches. The switches are numbered from '1' at the top and downwards to the bottom, see Figure 3. A switch is on when the tap is displaced in direction of the back-plane.
- The ADC-SDI card is shipped with all switches, except switch 1, 6 and 10, in the Off-position. Switch number 10 should always be in the On-position. The switches are discussed in logical rather than numerical order.

- ADC-SDI contains EEPROM that is affected by your choices. Switch 8 is implemented to reset the EEPROM to factory default. Its use is shown in Table 5.
- Action
- Comment
- Power down
- Turn switch 8 on
- Power up
- ADC-SDI enters a special state where the EEPROM is restored to factory default values. This is flagged by the LEDs, they are all yellow.
- Power down
- Turn switch 8 off
- If you want the DIP switches to be placed in the factory default position, this is the time to do so: Turn switches 1 through 9 to the off position. Switch 10 should, as always, be turned to the on position.
- Power up
- The card EEPROM is now reset to factory settings.
- Table 5: A method to restore the ADC-SDI card to the factory settings. Remember to let some seconds pass by each time you power down, to allow capacitors to be fully discharged.
- Switch 9 is enabling Chroma Blanking within the vertical blanking area. When on, the chroma information in lines 1-23 / 313-335 (PAL) or 1-21 / 263-284 (NTSC) will be erased (replaced with 0x200). This is an important setting when using ADC-SDI with teletext information in line 23 (like for PAL+). When switch 9 is off, the vertical blanking area will be optimised for video information.
- When using ADC-SDI with S-Video (Y/C), it is recommended to leave switch 9 in off position
- Factory setting is switch 9 in off position.
- Switch 10 is purely used for service upgrade of the ADC-SDI card. It should always be in the on position. If switch 10 is in the off position, the CardState LED will light up red, and the ADC-SDI card will enter programming mode. This causes no harm, but the card will not work in this mode.
- Factory setting is switch 10 in on position.
- ADC-SDI follows the Flashlink-protocol, see the definition of the protocol available from our web site: http://www.network-electronics.com/. ADC-SDI can also be used with any controller or controller system that adheres to the Flashlink-protocol, using the RS422 bus. For more information on the electrical interconnect, see the documentation of RS-2RU-10-2. The available commands are shown in Table 6.

- Table 6: All commands available to the user
- According to the Flashlink-protocol, no card can use the RS422-bus before the '?' (hello) command is sent the card at least once. The response from ADC-SDI will be:
- xxxxADC-SDI\ PIC sw rev X.X.X\ FPGA sw rev X\ Protocol ver X.X
- Here xxxx denotes the source and destination rack and slot coordinates, while X represents a version number. As of primo February 2002, these revisions would be:
- xxxxADC-SDI\ PIC sw rev 1.1.0\ FPGA sw rev 7\ Protocol ver 1.0
- This command reports the entire state of the card. An example:
- xxxxChannel Select: automatic\ Locked PAL CVBS Ch. 1
- The “info” command is composed by many minor lines, fully specified in Table 7. In general, when a condition is normal, it is not reported. For instance, EDH will normally be enabled. It is only when it is disabled its state is reported.
- The commands AutoSearch, CVBSCh1, CVBSCh2 and SVideo all determine the channel search mode of the card. The AutoSearch-command will let the ADC-SDI-card search for any possible input type: CVBS Ch. 1, CVBS Ch. 2 or S-Video with Luma on Ch. 1 and Chroma on Ch. 2. The other three commands will force the ADC-SDI-card to search for only one of the three input types.
- Commands to turn on/off the Mark Field 1-feature or the EDH inclusion in the SDI output are both straightforward text, see Table 6.
- These commands are factory internal. The end-user should avoid these commands.
- Commands to select between different luma/chroma separation filters.

- X: Indicates that this toxic or hazardous substance contained in at least one of the homogeneous materials used for this part is above the limit requirement in SJ/T11363-2006.
- The manual must include a statement of the “environmentally friendly use period”. This is defined as the period of normal use before any hazardous material is released to the environment. The guidance on how the EFUP is to be calculated is not finalised at the time of writing. See http://www.aeanet.org/GovernmentAffairs/qfLeOpAaZXaMxqGjSFbEidSdPNtpT.pdf for an unofficial translation of the draft guidance. For our own products, Network Electronics has chosen to use the 50 year figure recommended in this draft regulation.
- Network Electronics suggests the following statement on An “Environmentally Friendly Use Period” (EFUP) setting out normal use:
- EFUP is the time the product can be used in normal service life without leaking the hazardous materials. We expect the normal use environment to be in an equipment room at controlled temperature range (0ºC 40ºC) with moderate humidity (< 90%, non-condensing) and clean air, not subject to vibration or shock.
- Further, a statement on any hazardous material content, for instance, for a product that uses some tin/lead solders:
- Where a product contains potentially hazardous materials, this is indicated on the product by the appropriate symbol containing the EFUP. The hazardous material content is limited to lead (Pb) in some solders.
