Model 5152
Video Generator/Audio Embedder Module
MCUVER= identifies the version of the
microcontroller (MCU) firmware (embedded
software) that’s loaded into and operating
in this specific module’s MCU board. The
microcontroller is the overall “boss” of the
Model 5152, doing pretty much everything
but the SDI-related tasks.
FPGAVER= identifies the version of the logic
chip (FPGA) firmware (embedded software)
that’s loaded into and operating in this spe-
cific module’s FPGA board. The FPGA cre-
ates the video images, processes the SDI
signals, and handles the audio embedding.
ADDRESS= identifies the RS-485 data bus
address of this specific module. The range
is 1 through 16. This address is configured
using four DIP switches located on the MCU
board.
STATUS.TXT File – [CONFIGURATION]
The [CONFIGURATION] section of the
STATUS.TXT file provides details on how the
module is actually functioning at the time the
file was created.
SDIINPUT= identifies which physical SDI
input on the module has been selected.
BNC indicates that the Coaxial (BNC) SDI
Input has been selected.
SFP indicates that
the optical SDI input has been selected.
FORMAT= identifies which SDI Output Image
Format/Rate Mode has been selected. AUTO
indicates that the Auto Select (Follows Input)
mode has been selected. LOCKED indicates
that the Locked (Does Not Follow Input) set-
ting has been selected.
IMGDELAY= identifies the interval selected
for the delay before the stored image is out-
put. The range is 0 to 7 seconds. A setting
of 0 indicates that there will be no delay.
During the delay period the Model 5152 will
output a video image with a solid-gray color.
MOTION= identifies the status of the Moving
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 im-
age will always be sent to the SDI output(s).
