Video Generator/Audio Embedder Module
RS-485 Address
One configuration setting must be per-
formed for applications that implement
remote control of Model 5152 functions.
While up to 16 Model 5100-Series modules
can “share” the RS-485 data bus, each
module must have a unique address.
Selecting the device’s address involves
setting four configuration switches on the
MCU board.

Moving Image Overlay
A “moving” graphic image can be overlaid
onto the stored “720” and “1080” images
when either is being output by the Model
5152. The image is a red-colored box that
slowly moves around the screen. This
simple icon provides an indication to per-
sonnel located downstream of the Model
5152 that the SDI signal is active. This can
be important to ensure that a distinction
can be made between an active image and
an image that’s the result of the last valid
frame being held and displayed while an
SDI input is no longer present.
When switch 5 on the MCU board is in its
off (up) position the stored images (“720”
and “1080”) will be displayed without the
moving image being added. When the
switch is in its on (down) position the mov-
ing image will be added.
Note that the characteristics of the image
(color, size, and movement) can’t be modi-
fied. The image overlay function is created
in firmware (embedded software) with no
provision for users to alter it.
