PORC-3228 general description
Simplified schematics
Optical signal is amplified and demodulated. The resulting SDI is decoded into the 10-bits 4:2:2 stream which is processed to recover video and audio. Video stream is buffered and synchronized to the REF signal. The deembedded audio is buffered and a user-controllable delay is applied. The resulting audio stream is reembedded into an output SDI. The monitor output provides the PAL picture with the audio level meter OSD.

Controls and indicators
PORC-3228 frontal panel:
The operation mode is selected by toggling the MODE button, the editing is done by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons. Pressing the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously resets a parameter to a default value. The FREEZE button controls the "frame freeze" function.
The editable modes are:
- INP GROUP SEL – to select an audio group number for deembedding
- OUT GROUP SEL - to select an audio group number for reembedding
- VU METR – an audio bar-graph OSD placement and scale controls
- TON – 1kHz test-tone generator ON/OFF in a selected audio channel
- GAIN 1/2 - gain controls in the first stereo pair
- GAIN 3/4 - gain controls in the second stereo pair
- TIMING H - SDI to REF synchronization within a TV line
- TIMING V - SDI to REF synchronization within a TV frame
- TIMING AUD DELAY - audio delay in TV line increments
- FREEZE - the "frame freeze" mode ON/OFF
The indicators:
- REF – lit if there is a valid REF video signal
- INP - lit if there is a valid input video signal
- AUD DET – lit when an input signal contains valid audio packets
- EDH MIN/HOUR – lit if an EDH error was detected whithin the last minute/hour interval
- ADVANCE - displays the current value of delay/advance of SDI signal relative to the REF
The remote control and management from a PC
All the “PROFLEX” modules are remote controllable from a PC. This facility is available if a rack is fitted with a CPU module (ordered separately). |
