1Introduction

The ADDEC-100 decoder will convert PAL/NTSC composite, Y/C or YUV component

video to SDI using a high quality 12-bit decoder which can deal with any source from

broadcast quality to VHS, and will accept damaged or jittery signals. The data is sampled

at 54 Mbit per second (four times oversampled) allowing the highest quality digital

filtering. It also offers the latest in comb technology, with a five-line comb resulting in

exceptional decoding. Timing, gains and levels are also adjustable.

The ADDEC-100 will fully integrate with any other interface or keying product from the

Crystal Vision range. The large choice of control options, which include board edge

control, local or remote active control panel and the Statesman PC Control System afford

further flexibility.

•12-bit digital decoding converter

•Suitable for all sources, from broadcast quality to VHS

•High quality digital filtering and 5-line comb

•Flexible control, including PC software.

ADDEC-100 12-bit Decoder

ADDEC-100 is a 100mm x 266mm module that fits in Crystal Vision’s four standard

frame sizes. 24 modules fit in 4U, 12 modules fit in 2U, six in 1U or two in a desktop box.

The RM01, RM24, RM25 and RM27 are the rear modules available for the ADDEC-100.

Crystal Vision Introduction

ADDEC-100 User Manual R1.1 419/06/2007

1.1 Operating modes

Analogue video formats

The composite video input may be selected to be composite or Y/C PAL/NTSC or

525/625-line component YUV. Input standard selection is automatic and will follow the

input video. Data in the VBI (vertical blanking interval) of the analogue composite input

can be blanked or passed. NTSC- J and NTSC-M with or without 7.5% IRE setup is also

selectable when receiving an NTSC format video input.

Video Input loss behaviour

The ADDEC-100 output will cut to blue immediately on loss of input video.

Status and control

Comprehensive status and control is available from the ADDEC-100 using the board edge

menu selection switches and LEDs. Control and status reporting is also available from

either an active frame front or remote active control panel. PC control is also available

using Crystal Vision’s Statesman PC control software.

Note: When the ADDEC-100 is set to remote control mode the position of the board edge

switches may not reflect the actual configuration of the card. Returning the card to local

control will reassert the board edge configuration.

2Hardware installation

The ADDEC-100 single height module uses the RM01 and RM24 single height, RM27

double height and RM25 quad height (Indigo 2 and Indigo 4 frames only) rear connectors

and fits into all Crystal Vision rack frames. All modules can be plugged in and removed

while the frame is powered without damage.

2.1 Rear modules and signal I/O

The Indigo 4 4U frame will house up to 24 single height modules with up to three power

supplies. The Indigo 2 2U frames will house up to 12 single height modules and dual

power supplies. The Indigo 1 1U frames will house six single height modules and a single

or dual power supply. The Indigo DT desktop boxes have a built-in power supply and will

house up to two single height modules.

Note: For details of fitting rear connectors please refer to the appropriate frame manual.

Module configuration

The ADDEC-100 has four user selectable jumper links, which are used to configure both

the Component U / YC-C / Serial digital output and the Component V / SDI output.

V / SDI OUT port configuration

The Component V / SDI OUT port can be configured by setting the position of links PL2

& PL5 (to be found just above the middle right hand edge of the module). When a

Component V input is required set jumper links PL2 & PL5 to their upper position. Set

jumper PL2 & PL5 to their lower position when a further SDI output is required.

Note links PL2 & PL5 must be moved together as a pair.

The Component U / YC-C / SDI OUT port can be configured by setting the position of

links PL3 & PL6 (to be found approximately in the middle right hand edge of the

module). When a Component U or C input is required set jumper links PL3 & PL6 to

their upper position. Set jumper PL3 & PL6 to their lower position when a further SDI

output is required.

2.2 General Purpose Interface (GPI)

The ADDEC-100, like most Crystal Vision modules, is equipped with GPI control I/O.

GPI Low (<1V) High (+5V)

0-3 ‘a-d’ No connection

4 ‘e’ No connection

5 ‘f’ Loss of input Alarmed Not alarmed

As supplied, each GPI output has a 220Ωresistor in series with its output. This allows for

an external LED to be driven, connected to a DC voltage of +5V.

4U frame GPI connections

GPI lines ‘a’ to ‘f’ of each card connect to two of eight rear remote connectors as follows:
