Introduction UPC-166 Functional Description
UPC-166 Functional Description
Figure 1-1 shows a functional block diagram of the UPC-166. The UPC-
166 upconverter also includes a full 16-channel audio embedder/de-
embedder, a 12-bit analog-to-digital video converter, an 8-channel, 24-bit
balanced analog-to-digital audio converter, and a full video frame
synchronizer. The UPC-166 also handles AFD code detection and
processing, timecode support, closed captioning support, and transfer of
Dolby
® metadata.
As such, the UPC-166 is highly suited as a universal SD-to-HD input
processing card with comprehensive audio and video support. The video
source can be either an SD-SDI input or a SD analog video input. The up-
converted video aspect ratio can be corrected to provide proper output
aspect.
Note: Some of the functions described below are available only when using the
DashBoard ™, or Cobalt ® OGCP-9000 or OGCP-9000/CC Control Panels
user interfaces. Refer to User Control Interface (p. 1-19) for user
interface descriptions.
UPC-166 Input/Output
Formats
The UPC-166 provides the following inputs and outputs:
• Inputs:
• SD-SDI IN – SD-SDI input
• Y/Cmpst IN , Pr/C IN , Pb IN
– analog composite/component video
inputs
• AES I/O (1-4) – user-switchable as AES inputs or AES outputs
• AES IN (5-8) – dedicated AES inputs
• AN-AUD IN (1-8) – balanced analog audio inputs
• Outputs:
• SDI OUT – two dual-rate HD/SD-SDI buffered video outputs
• AES OUT (1-8) – dedicated AES outputs
• AES I/O (1-4) – user-switchable as AES inputs or AES outputs
• DOLBY META – RS485 Dolby ® metadata output
Note: The input/output complement listed above represents the maximum
capability of the UPC-166. The practical input/output complement is
determined by the par- ticular Rear I/O Module used with the UPC-166.
Refer to UPC-166 Rear I/O Modules (p. 1-21) for more information.
