APOGEE X-SERIES
Preliminary Data Sheet
X-Video expansion card for the
BIG BEN Master Clock
Designed to fit in the X-Series card slot located in the
rear panel of the BIG BEN. All functions controlled
from the BIG BEN user interface. Generates Video
and provides Genlocking function.
Features:
• Support for PAL, NTSC and 60 Hz B&W standards
• One composite video input and three composite video outputs
• Can operate as a master black-burst generator
• Can operate as genlocking slave device
• In genlocking mode the source video-signal will be re-clocked and regenerated, maintaining the same
field and colorburst phase information, but stripped of its line information and replaced by video-black.
• In slave mode the board will auto-detect the incoming video-standard and configure itself accordingly.
The video input is of very high tolerance and will even lock to unstable sources like VCR’s.
There are three modes of operation:
• Master mode: The user selects the video format on the frontpanel of the BIG BEN. The BIG BEN will
slave to the generated video signal.
• Attended Slave mode: The video board will be configured to autodetect and genlock to the incoming
video. The BIG BEN will slave to the incoming video signal.
• Unattended Slave mode: The video board will be configured to autodetect and genlock to the incoming
video. The BIG BEN is not clocking to the Video board and therefore both will function independently.
