Model 5150
Video Generator Module
The following paragraphs detail the con-
figuration choices. This information is also
shown in the [OPTIONS] section of the
STATUS.TXT file, described previously
in this guide.
The text lines that follow the [CONFIGU-
RATION]
heading should remain in the
same order as shown in the example. (But
technically they are not required to do so.)
All configuration items are not required to
be present but for clarity it’s recommended
that they are. The text is case sensitive and
must follow the example.
SDIINPUT= selects which physical SDI
input on the module will be active. There
are two choices. BNC selects the coaxial
(BNC) SDI input to be active.
SFP selects
the optical SDI input to be active.
FORMAT= selects the SDI Output Image
Format/Rate Mode. There are two choices.
AUTO selects the Auto Select (Follows
Input) mode. LOCKED selects the Locked
(Does Not Follow Input) mode.
IMGDELAY= selects the interval for the
delay before the stored image is output.
The range is 0 to 7 seconds. A setting of
0 selects no delay. During the delay period
the Model 5150 will output a video image
with a solid-gray color.
MOTION= selects the status of the Mov-
ing Image Overlay function. There are two
choices. OFF disables the Moving Image
Overlay function.
ON enables the Moving
Image Overlay function.
SDIMODE= selects the status of the SDI
Mode function. There are two choices.
NORMAL selects that a valid SDI signal
connected to the selected SDI input will
pass through to the module’s SDI output(s).
REFONLY selects that the SDI input will
serve only as a timing reference signal. The
internally-generated image will always be
sent to the SDI output(s).
GPI= selects the status of the GPI (general-
purpose input) function. DISABLED selects
that the function is not active. Future ver-
sions of the MCU firmware may implement
other GPI actions. Note that if the hardware
version of this specific Model 5150 does not
support the GPI function this text line can be
part of the file but will not be recognized.
GPO= selects the status of the GPO
(general-purpose output) function.
DISABLED selects the function to be not
active. SDIVALID selects the GPO to be
high when a valid SDI signal is connected
to the selected SDI input (coaxial (BNC) or
optical). SDINOTVALID selects the GPO to
be high when a valid SDI signal is not con-
nected to the selected SDI input (coaxial
(BNC) or optical); the GPO will be low when
a valid SDI signal is connected. Note that if
the hardware version of this specific Model
5150 does not support the GPO function
this text line can be part of the file but will
not be recognized.
