HPIF Board
The playback data signal is prepared for Hippi transfer. signal information (size) is
analyzed and a Hippi header is generated. Communication with Hippi destination
device is started and data is sent via optical transceiver. For playback mode the
same buffer memory of 128 MBytes is used.
DPX Monitoring (Option)
If the incoming / outgoing data stream is detected as DPX data, the signal is fed
to the DPX monitoring board. This board is located on the HPIF –board. The out
put of this board is a standard XGA signal (1024x768 / 80Hz). The DPX data is con-
verted into an XGa signal. If the resolution of DPX signal is lower than XGA resolu-
tion, the complete picture is displayed. If the resolution is higher, the resolution is
reduced by skipping lines and pixels. Because this is only a monitoring feature
boarders may appear on the screen depending on DPX resolution.
In record mode, this board is connected to the input data stream, inplayback mode,
the board is connected to the output data stream.
DPCU System Control
The system control is responsible for the control of all boards and the communica-
tion with tapedeck via iMCS. For service mode a RS232 serial port is installed. Soft-
ware updates can be done using this port to reprogram the flash Eproms.
