Connections
SDI Inputs Block
The output of the SDI Inputs block can be connected to the Analyser/Convertor block to allow analysis
of the SDI input signal.
Link the
SDI Inputs
block to the
Analyser / Convertor block and
the format will be converted to
that of the output block connected
to the Local User Interface block.
A permanent link is also made
between the SDI Inputs block to
the Pass Through block
The
SDI Inputs
block represent all of the possible SDI input
connections that make up the video signal including single link,
dual link and quad link connections. The physically SDI connections
can be selected for each of the 4 virtual links..
The output of this block can be connected to the Analyser block to allow analysis of the SDI input
signal.
If there is no signal present, or there is no link between the SDI Inputs block and the Analyser block,
the block will display "No Input" otherwise it will display the currently detected format and frame rate.
The actual physical connection for each of the virtual inputs can be
selected by clicking on the down arrow the selecting the required
input.
Inputs can be selected from a choice of "AUX 1", "AUX 2", "SDI 1",
"SDI 2" or "Eye".
The Ultra system also allows virtual connections to be made to the
outputs of the SDI Outputs block.
Clicking on this icon next to the currently detected input format will display
the Video Standards Editor to allow the selection of automatic or manual input
format detection.
Input Format Detection
The SDI input format and frame rate can be detected automatically
from the connected input signal or can be set manually to override
the detected ones. This can be useful when the signal does not
have a valid SMPTE 352 packet to define the actual content
structure of the signal.
Note that this relies on the appropriate SMPTE packet being
present on the input signal.
Mode
allows the selection of
Autodetect
or
Manual
format. When
Autodetect
is
selected the fields below are populated automatically but when Manual is
selected the filed below can be set manually.
