Synergy 1 Aux Buses
The routing for Aux Buses on the Synergy 1 is described in this section. Refer to the illustrations on
on page 2–12.
Aux Buses 1 and 2
Aux Buses 1 and 2 can be configured for either “timed” or “untimed” operation.
• For untimed Aux Bus operation, the lower circuit is used — going directly from the
crosspoint matrix to the video switch, and then to the output BNC connector. No other
processing is required.
Aux Buses 1 and 2 Routing
• For timed Aux Bus operation, the upper circuit is used — going first through a
Deserializer Module (4000A-061).
Deserializer Module
The Deserializer Module converts the signal from serial data to 10-bit parallel data, but
it also handles the timing of the inputs by auto-timing the signal to reference.
The signal is then routed into the MLE video processing core, through circuitry that
performs blanking insertion, signal clean-up, and synchronization to system reference.
Note that the blanking does not affect the imbedded ancillary data in the vertical
interval.
• As the last step, the signal is routed through a Serializer Module , converted from
parallel to serial, then through a driver (video switch) to the output BNC connector.
