Configuration
The 8985FSP/FS module can only be configured remotely using the
8900NET network interface GUI or a networked Newton control panel. An
8900NET (Net Card) module running software version 4.3.0 or later is rec-
ommended for optimum operation and required for software updating.
(See Software Requirements
on page 11 for instructions for upgrading this
software.)
Refer to the following sections for configuration instructions:
• Configuration Overview ( page 25 )
• Remote Control and Monitoring ( page 28 )
• Configuration Parameter Summary ( page 75 )
Operation of these control types is explained in detail in their respective
sections of this manual.
Configuration Overview
This section provides a brief overview of all parameters that can be config-
ured on the 8985 module. Use this section in conjunction with the specific
configuration method instructions for each configuration type.
Table 9 on
page 75 provides a summary in table format of all parameters and their
ranges, default values, and remote web page and Newton control panel
function names and locations for setting each value.
Video Input Selection
Set the type of input connection from a coaxial electrical input or, if an
optional SFP Fiber Optic submodule is installed, one of the fiber optic
inputs.
System Configuration
System configuration is required for selection of the video input standard,
enabling of the colorbars test signal, selection of the output timing source
when the Frame Sync option is enabled, and the Reference Restore param-
eters can be set. A Split Screen mode for comparing the input to the output
can also be enabled on the System Config web page.
8000GEN-SM Reference Timing
When an 8900GEN-SM submodule is installed as either a local reference to
the host module or configured to output frame buses from host modules in
slot 1 and slot 3, the genlock timing can be adjusted to match reference
timing.
