TestPatternA

With this setting you can enable a test pattern as frame synchronizer
output on channel A. Can be a

Colorbar

or a

Zoneplate

TestPatternB

With this setting you can enable a test pattern as frame synchronizer
output on channel B. Can be a

Colorbar

or a

Zoneplate

FS_Gen-Speed

This sets the speed of the colorbar or zoneplate generator on a scale from
0 (still) to 15 (fast). By default it is set to 1.

INTEGRITY CHECK

Carrier-Det

Carrier-Det

allows the card to detect an SDI carrier loss.



Off

: the functionality is switched

OFF.



Probe

: the card will detect a loss of carriers, but will only give this

as a status item. The card will not switch to the other channel.



: the card will detect a loss of SDI carrier on channel A and switch

to the other channel when a loss is detected.



: the card will detect a loss of SDI carrier on channel B and switch

to the other channel when a loss is detected.



A+B

: the card will detect a loss of SDI carrier on both channel A and

B and switch to the other channel when a loss is detected.

The default setting is

A+B

CRC_EDH-Det

CRC_EDH-Det

allows the card to detect EDH/CRC errors.



Off

: the functionality is switched

OFF.



Probe

: the card will detect an EDH/CRC error, but will only give

this as a status item. The card will not switch to the other channel.



: the card will detect EDH/CRC errors on channel A and switch to

the other channel when an error is detected.



: the card will detect EDH/CRC errors on channel B and switch to

the other channel when an error is detected.



A+B

: the card will detect EDH/CRC errors on both channel A and B

and switch to the other channel when an error is detected.

The default setting is

A+B

EDH-Mode

EDH-Mode

determines whether the EDH is monitored over the full field

(

) or the Active picture (

). In case of

, the vertical and

horizontal blank interval is also included. The default setting is
