Model 5154
Video Generator/Audio De-Embedder Module
SERNUM= identifies the factory-assigned
serial number of this specific module. It will
typically be in the form of a 5-digit base-10
number. If for some reason a serial number
has not been factory assigned no number
will display and the field will be blank
(empty).
MCUVER= identifies the version of the mi-
crocontroller (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 5154, doing pretty much everything
but the SDI-related tasks.
FPGAVER= identifies the version of the
logic chip (FPGA) firmware (embedded soft-
ware) that’s loaded into and operating in this
specific module’s FPGA board. The FPGA
creates the video images, processes the
SDI signals, and handles the audio
de-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 se-
lected. 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.
IMGDELAY= identifies the interval selected
for the delay before the stored image is
output. The range is 0 to 7 seconds. A set-
ting of 0 indicates that there will be no delay.
During the delay period the Model 5154 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.
