Model 5154
Video Generator/Audio De-Embedder Module
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).
DEEMBED= identifies how audio signals are
being de-embeded from the SDI input. The
first digit represents the SDI group that is
supplying audio data to digital audio outputs
1 and 2. The second digit represents the SDI
group that is supplying audio data to digital
audio outputs 3 and 4.
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 configuration. This informa-
tion is provided in the STATUS.TXT file only
as a reference and doesn’t play an active
part in module configuration or operation.
SDIINPUT= selects 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= selects the SDI Output Image
Format/Rate Mode. AUTO selects the Auto
Select (Follows Input) mode. LOCKED
selects the Locked (Does Not Follow Input)
mode.
IMGDELAY= selects the interval for the
delay before the stored image is output.
The range is 0 to 7 seconds. A setting of
0 selects no delay. During the delay period
the Model 5154 will output a video image
with a solid-gray color.
MOTION= selects the Moving Image
Overlay function. OFF disables the Moving
Image Overlay function. ON enables the
Moving Image Overlay function.
SDIMODE= selects the SDI Mode func-
tion. 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 se-
lected SDI input will serve only as a timing
reference signal. In this latter mode, the
internally-generated image will always be
sent to the SDI output(s).
DEEMBED= selects the audio sources for
the four digital audio outputs. The first digit
represents which audio group from the
SDI input is to supply audio data to digital
audio outputs 1 and 2. The second digit
represents the audio group that is used
to supply audio data for digital audio
outputs 3 and 4. The numbers 1, 2, 3,
and 4 represent the SDI group. The
[CONFIGURATION] section of Figure 7
show DEEMBED=12 which indicates that
group 1 of the SDI input is supplying audio
data to digital audio outputs 1 and 2 and
group 2 is supplying audio data to digital
audio outputs 3 and 4.
Configuration Text File
A text file can be created to specify how a
Model 5154 should be configured. Saved
on a USB flash drive, the file must have
a name of CONFIG.TXT and be stored
in a folder directly under the root with a
name of M5154. When the USB flash drive
is plugged into a Model 5154 the file will
automatically be read and the configura-
tion stored. Immediately after the file is
read the STATUS.TXT file will be written to
the M5154 folder. The contents of this file
