Model 5150
Video Generator Module
SDIINPUT= identifies which physical SDI
input on the module has been selected.
BNC indicates that the Coaxial (BNC)
SDI Input has been selected.
SFP indi-
cates that the optical SDI input has been
selected.
FORMAT= identifies which SDI Output
Image Format/Rate Mode has been select-
ed. AUTO indicates that the Auto Select
(Follows Input) mode has been selected.
LOCKED indicates that the Locked
(Does Not Follow Input) setting has
been selected.
MOTION= identifies the status of the Mov-
ing Image Overlay function. OFF indicates
that the Moving Image Overlay function is
not active. ON indicates that the Moving
Image Overlay function is active.
SDIMODE= identifies which SDI Mode has
been selected. NORMAL indicates that a
valid SDI signal connected to the selected
SDI input will pass through to the module’s
SDI output(s). REFONLY indicates that
the selected SDI input will serve only as
a timing reference signal. The internally-
generated image will always be sent to
the SDI output(s).
GPI= identifies how the GPI (general-
purpose input) function has been selected.
NA indicates that the hardware version of
this specific Model 5150 module does not
support the GPI function (applies to mod-
ules with serial numbers 00250 or less).
DISABLED indicates that the function
is present in hardware but is not active.
Future versions of the MCU firmware may
implement other GPI actions.
GPO= identifies how the GPO (general-
purpose output) function has been select-
ed.
NA indicates that the hardware version
of this specific Model 5150 module does
not support the GPO function (applies to
modules with serial numbers 00250 or
less). DISABLED indicates that the func-
tion is present in hardware but is not ac-
tive. SDIVALID indicates that the GPO
output will be high when a valid SDI signal
is connected to the selected SDI input
(coaxial (BNC) or optical). SDINOTVALID
indicates that the GPO output will be high
when a valid SDI signal is not connected
to the selected SDI input (coaxial (BNC)
or optical); the GPO output will be low
when a valid SDI signal is connected.
STATUS.TXT File – [OPTIONS]
The [OPTIONS] section of the STATUS.
TXT file is provided as a guide when creat-
ing a CONFIG.TXT file which will set the
module’s configuration. This information is
provided in the STATUS.TXT file only as a
reference and doesn’t play an active part
in module configuration or operation.
SDIINPUT= configures which physical
SDI input on the module will be active.
BNC selects the coaxial (BNC) SDI input
to be active. SFP selects the optical SDI
input to be active.
FORMAT= configures the SDI Output
Image Format/Rate Mode. AUTO selects
the Auto Select (Follows Input) mode.
LOCKED selects the Locked (Does Not
Follow Input) mode.
MOTION= configures the Moving Image
Overlay function.
OFF disables the Moving
Image Overlay function. ON enables the
Moving Image Overlay function.
SDIMODE= configures the SDI Mode
function.
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
