1 Introduction to Synapse
An Introduction to
Synapse
Synapse is a modular system designed for the broadcast
industry. High density, intuitive operation and high quality
processing are key features of this system. Synapse offers a
full range of converters and processing modules. Please visit
the AXON Digital Design Website at www.axon.tv to obtain
the latest information on our new products and updates.
Local control Panel The local control panel gives access to all adjustable
parameters and provides status information for any of the
cards in the Synapse frame, including the Synapse rack
controller. The local control panel is also used to back-up
and restore card settings. Please refer to the rack controller
manuals for a detailed description of the local control panel,
the way to set-up remote control over IP and for frame
related settings and status information.
Remote Control
Capabilities
The remote control options are explained in the rack
controller manual. The method of connection to a computer
using Ethernet is described in the ERC/ERS/RRC/RRS
manual.
“AXON CORTEX” SOFTWARE WILL INCREASE SYSTEM FLEXIBILITY OF ONE OR
MORE SYNAPSE FRAMES
Although not required to use Cortex with a Synapse frame,
you are strongly advised to use a remote personal computer
or laptop PC with Axon Cortex installed, as this increases the
ease of use and understanding of the modules.
Introduction to Synapse 5
2 Unpacking and Placement
Unpacking The Axon Synapse card must be unpacked in an anti-static
environment. Care must be taken NOT to touch components
on the card – always handle the card carefully by the
edges. The card must be stored and shipped in anti-static
packaging. Ensuring that these precautions are followed will
prevent premature failure from components mounted on the
board.
Placing the card The Synapse card can be placed vertically in an SFR18 frame
or horizontally in an SFR04 and SFR08 frame. Locate the two
guide slots to be used, slide in the mounted circuit board,
and push it firmly to locate the connectors.
Correct insertion of card is essential as a card that is not
located properly may show valid indicators, but does not
function correctly.
On power up all LED’s will light for a few seconds, this is the time it takes to
initialise the card.
Unpacking and Placement 6
3 A Quick start
When Powering-up On powering up the Synapse frame, all settings of the card
will be set to the default state. All LED’s will light during this
process. After initialisation, several LED’s will remain lit –
the exact number and configuration is dependent upon the
number of inputs connected and the status of the inputs.
Changing settings
and parameters
The front panel controls or the Axon Cortex can be used to
change settings. An overview of the settings can be found in
chapter 5, 6 and 7 of this manual.
Front Panel Control Front Panel Display and Cursor
Settings are displayed and changed as follows;
Use the cursor ‘arrows’ on the front panel to select the menu
and parameter to be displayed and/or changed.
Press ►To go forward through the
menu structure.
Press ◄To go back through the menu
structure.
Press ▲To move up within a menu
or increase the value of a
parameter.
Press ▼To move down through a
menu or decrease the value
of a parameter.
Whilst editing a setting, pressing ► twice will reset the value to its default.
Example of
changing
parameters using
front panel control
With the display as shown below
Pressing the ► selects the GFS100 in frame slot 01.
A Quick start 7
The display changes to indicate that the GFS100 has
been selected. In this example the Settings menu item is
indicated.
Pressing the ► selects the menu item shown, in this example
Settings.
(Pressing ▲ or ▼ will change to a different menu eg Status,
Events).
The display changes to indicate that the GFS100 Settings
menu item IO-Ctrl has been selected and shows that it
current setting is Manual.
Pressing the ► selects the settings item shown, in this
example IO-Ctrl.
(Pressing ▲ or ▼ will change to a different setting, eg #Out-
Frmt or #Inp_SelA).
The display changes to indicate that the GFS100 Edit Setting
menu item SDI-Format has been selected
To edit the setting of the menu item press ▲ or ▼.
All menu items can be monitored and/or changed in this
way. Changing a setting has an immediate effect.
Axon Cortex
Software
Synapse Cortex can be used to change the settings of
Synapse modules from a PC, either locally or remotely. The
software enables communication based on TCP/IP between
the Setup PC and Synapse frames/modules.
A Quick start 8
Each Synapse frame is addressed through its rack
controller’s unique IP address, giving access to each module,
its menus and adjustment items. Axon Cortex has access to
data contained within the Synapse module and displays it on
a GUI. The software has an intuitive structure following that
of the module that it is controlling.
For operation of Axon Cortex, please refer to the Cortex help
files.
