Video Generator/Audio Embedder Module
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
creating a configuration file (CONFIG.
TXT) which will set the module’s configu-
ration. This information is provided in the
STATUS.TXT file only as a reference and
doesn’t play an active part in module con-
figuration 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
selected SDI input will serve only as a tim-
ing reference signal. In this latter mode, the
internally-generated image will always be
sent to the SDI output(s).
EMBED= configures how audio signals
connected to the Model 5152’s digital audio
inputs are to be embedded into the SDI
output signal. The first digit represents what
is to happen to the audio associated with
digital audio inputs 1 and 2. The second
digit represents what is to happen to the
audio associated with digital audio inputs
3 and 4. Each digit can be either N, 1, 2,
3, or 4. The digit N indicates that the digital
audio inputs are not to be embedded. The
numbers
1, 2, 3, and 4 represent the SDI
group that the digital audio inputs are to be
embedded into. The [CONFIGURATION]
section of Figure 8 shows EMBED=12
which indicates that digital audio inputs 1
and 2 are being embedded into SDI group
1 and digital audio inputs 3 and 4 are being
embedded into SDI group 2.
GPI= configures the GPI (general-purpose
input) function. DISABLED selects that the
function is not active. EMBEDOFF selects
that the GPI will control the on/off status of
the Model 5152’s embedder function. Note
that if the hardware version of this specific
Model 5152 does not support the GPI func-
tion (modules with serial numbers 00250 or
less) this text line will not appear.
GPO= configures the GPO (general-
purpose output) function.
DISABLED
selects that the function is not active.
SDIVALID selects that the GPO output will
be high when a valid SDI signal is connect-
ed to the selected SDI input (coaxial (BNC)
or optical). SDINOTVALID selects 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
