SDI Status indication section
Lock status indicator
The Lock status field shows the top-level lock
status of an incoming SDI stream.
►
When UpCon is locked to an acceptable SDI
stream on the SDI input, “Lock” is shown.
►
When no acceptable SDI stream is available
on the SDI input, “No Lock” and a red LED
will be shown in this field.
Format indicator
When the UpCon is locking to an incoming SDI
stream, the Format indicator field will show the
format – e.g. “1080i59.94 HD”. If the UpCon is
not locking to any incoming SDI stream, the For-
mat indicator field will read “N/A”.
Available Groups indicators
SDI with embedded audio carries up to 16 chan-
nels of audio, divided into four groups. Accord-
ingly, each group carries four channels of audio.
The four Available Groups indicators show which
audio groups are available in the incoming SDI
stream for metering and processing. The on-
screen LED for each available group will light up
in green. If the UpCon is not locking to an incom-
ing SDI stream, all indicators are turned off.
Audio (In) Groups selector
Settings: “Groups 1+2”/“Groups 3+4”/“Groups
1+3”/“Groups 1+4”/“Groups 2+3”/“Groups 2+4”
Use the Audio Groups selector to select audio
groups for metering and processing.
! Please note that UpCon always receives two
of the audio groups in the incoming stream.
The unprocessed audio groups are bypassed
bit-transparently, as well as all related SDI
packets such as video time code, close cap-
tions etc.
