5330/6330 OVERVIEW
The 5330 Analog to Digital Video Converter takes composite or component analog and
converts the signal to serial digital component. Analog inputs are 4x oversampled at 12
bits of resolution, ensuring a clean signal that can be used in the most demanding applica-
tions. Composite signals are decoded using an adaptive comb filter. An infinitely
adjustable timing system genlocks to the house reference.
The 5330 accepts asynchronous inputs and delivers serial outputs locked and timed to
house reference. The input video is synchronized to a house reference by a TBC/Frame
Synchronizer. Noisy and jittery analog sources are faithfully tracked to provide a steady,
genlocked output, ensuring proper time base correction for virtually any source, even a
consumer VHS machine.
The 5330 has a full-featured Proc Amp for adjustment of every signal parameter. Proc
controls include Video and Chroma Gain, NTSC style hue rotation, Black Balance, and
pedestal. Black and White clips can be set to prevent excessive signal excursions. To help
optimize the settings in the Proc Amp, a Split Screen mode allows you to compare the
processed output with the original material.
Selective (toothed) vertical blanking lets you choose to pass or strip content in the vertical
interval on a line by line and field by field basis.
A Detail Enhancer recovers information that has been lost due to poor frequency response
in upstream systems. Certain values represented in serial digital component may be
illegal in the NTSC or PAL composite domains. The Predictive Composite Clipper mode
identifies picture elements that would be illegal in analog composite, and limits color satu-
ration and luminance excursions.
The 5330 delivers two dedicated SDI outputs. In addition, two BNCs on the rear module
can be configured with onboard switches to be either AES or SDI outputs. Video outputs
are fully timed to your house reference. On loss of output (such as noise), the 5330 can be
set to mute to black or freeze on the last good frame of video.
The optional 6330 Audio Processor submodule provides embedding of analog or AES audio.
Analog inputs are digitized at 24 bits of resolution. Two AES inputs provide four channels
of digital audio to the input selector. Audio inputs may be mixed, shuffled or level con-
trolled and any of the channels re-embedded and/or sent to the AES output connectors.
Full audio delay tracking is included as well as the provision to add fixed delay to correct
incoming lip sync errors. There is built in sample rate conversion allowing usage of asyn-
chronous AES inputs, while synchronous AC-3 or Dolby-E audio signals may also be used.
Because the 5330 is an Avenue module, every function and parameter can be controlled
from an Avenue Touch Screen, Express Control Panel, or the Avenue PC Control
Application.
While it can be used to control any Avenue module, the Express Panel really shines when
used with the 5330 A-D Converter module. With dedicated video, chroma, pedestal, and
hue knobs, live shading is easy. The continuous rotation velocity sensitive knobs are
responsive and dependable. Audio levels for multiple groups are easily accessed as well.
All other parameters, including timing and audio delay, are accessed through an intuitive
menu interface.

5330 module emory registers can be used to save the complete configuration of the
module, making it easy to change instantly between different configurations.
Modules at software version 2.2.0 or later support SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol) monitoring. For each applicable signal processing module, module, signal, and
reference status are reported. For complete details on using SNMP monitoring, refer to
the Avenue System Overview in the manual that accompanies each frame.

APPLICATIONS
This section provides some typical applications for using the 5330 Video ADC module and
the optional submodule, the 6330 Audio Processor. Configuration of these applications is
covered in the MODULE CONFIGURATION AND CONTROL section later in this
manual.
Satellite Reception
As illustrated in the block diagram below, the 5330 will accept an input from an analog
receiver, convert it to serial digital, then lock the signal to the house reference with full
timing capability.
Proper audio/video timing can be assured when the tracking audio delay of the 6330 Audio
Processor is employed. Any timing or delay modifications to the video are tracked by the
6330 whether you wish to use audio input from an analog or AES source. Properly timed
audio from any of these sources is available directly when routed to the AES outputs, or it
can be embedded onto the SDI video output stream. A fixed delay of up to 1000 mS can be
inserted by the 6330 to correct for signals which have previously passed through frame
stores without audio delay compensation.

Compact Systems
A one rack unit (1 RU) Avenue chassis populated with a 5400 TSG and one or two 5330
modules makes an ideal signal acquisition system where small size and light weight are
required. With the variety of analog input formats which the 5330 Frame Synchronizer
accepts, it is equally at home with the Y/C feed from a VHS machine, Y/Pr/Pb from a
BetaCam, or composite from an analog camera. The 5400 TSG feeds reference to the 5330
to allow stable frame sync operation, as well as providing analog and SDI reference
signals for any of the acquisition equipment, along with a range of analog and SDI test
signals. The 6330 Audio Processor can provide audio gain control, mixing and embedding
to suit the needs of whatever range of requirements the recorder or microwave transmit-
ter may have. This example is shown below.

INSTALLATION
Rear Module BNC Configuration
There are three configurable rear BNC connectors that can be set using onboard switches
on the rear of the 5330 circuit board for the choices outlined below. AES outputs require
that the 6330 submodule is installed. Refer to the illustration below.
• Cpst/SDI Out BNC Configuration – The BNC labeled CPST/SDI can be set
with Switch S1 on the rear of the 5330 circuit board for either CPST (up) for a
composite output or to SDI (down) for an SDI output.The default setting for this
switch is CPST when shipped from the factory.
• AES 1/2 Out /SDI Out BNC Configuration – Switch S4 on the rear of the 5330
circuit board allows the BNC labeled AES 1/2 Out/SDI to output either AES audio
or the processed SDI signal of the module (identical to the other SDI outputs). Set
the toggle switch to AES to configure the BNC for AES out or set to SDI for the
SDI output. The default setting for this switch set at the factory is AES.
• AES 3/4 Out /SDI Out BNC Configuration – Switch S5 on the rear of the 5330
circuit board allows the BNC labeled AES 3/4 Out/SDI to output either AES audio
or the processed SDI signal of the module (identical to the other SDI outputs). Set
the toggle switch to AES to configure the BNC for AES out or set to SDI for the
SDI output. The default setting for this switch is AES.
6330 Submodule Installation
The optional 6330 submodule installs on the component side of the 5330 module circuit
board. If the option is ordered with the 5330 module, it will come already installed.
To install the 6330 Audio submodule, locate the three connectors on the left side of the
circuit board as shown in the illustration on the next page and line the connectors up,
checking the alignment. Press carefully into place to seat the submodule.

5330 ADC Module
Plug the 5330 module into any one of the slots in the 1 RU or 3 RU frame and install the
plastic overlay provided onto the corresponding group of rear BNC connectors associated
with the module location. Note that the plastic overlay has an optional adhesive backing
for securing it to the frame. Use of the adhesive backing is only necessary if you would
like the location to be permanent and is not recommended if you need to change module
locations. This module may be hot-swapped (inserted or removed) without powering down
or disturbing performance of the other modules in the system.
CABLING
Refer to the 3 RU and 1 RU backplane diagrams of the module on the following page for

MODULE CONFIGURATION AND CONTROL
The configuration parameters for each Avenue module must be selected after installation.
This can be done remotely using one of the Avenue remote control options or locally using
the module front panel controls. Each module has a REMOTE/LOCAL switch on the
front edge of the circuit board which must first be set to the desired control mode.
The configuration parameter choices for the module will differ between Remote and
Local modes. In Remote mode, the choices are made through software and allow more
selections. The 5330/6330 Parameter Table later in this section summarizes and
compares the various configuration parameters that can be set remotely or locally and the
default/factory settings. It also provides the default User Levels for each control. These
levels can be changed using the Avenue PC application.
If you are not using a remote control option, the module parameters must be configured
from the front panel switches. Parameters that have no front panel control will be set to a
default value. The Local switches are illustrated in the Front Panel Controls and
Indicators section following the 5330/6330 Parameter Table.
Avenue module parameters can be configured and controlled remotely from one or both of
the remote control options, the Avenue Touch Screen or the Avenue PC Application. Once
the module parameters have been set remotely, the information is stored on the module
CPU. This allows the module to be moved to a different cell in the frame at your discre-
tion without losing the stored information. Remote configuration will override whatever
the switch settings are on the front edge of the module.
For setting the parameters remotely using the Avenue PC option, refer to the Avenue PC
Remote Configuration section of this document.
For setting the parameters remotely using the Avenue Touch Screen option, refer to the
Avenue Touch Screen Remote Configuration section of this document following
Avenue PC.
Express Panel operation is described in the data pack that accompanies the control panel
option.
Configuration Summary
This section provides a general overview of the configuration for the 5330 module. The
controls available for configuration with remote control are summarized and tips and
examples are given for using particular controls to achieve the best results.
Video Processing
The 5330 has a full-featured Proc Amp for adjustment of every signal parameter. Proc
controls include Video and Chroma Gain, NTSC style hue rotation, Black Balance, and
pedestal. Black and White clips can be set to prevent excessive signal excursions. To help
optimize the settings in the Proc Amp, a Split Screen mode allows you to compare the
processed output with the original material.
Selective (toothed) vertical blanking lets you choose to pass or strip content in the vertical
interval on a line by line and field by field basis.
5330/6330-9
Model 5330/6330 Video Audio ADC

The available video processing remote control menus are summarized below:
•Proc Menu: Gain, Chroma, Pedestal and Hue are standard Proc Amp controls.
The Hue control gives phase rotation of the color vectors in the manner of an
NTSC composite Proc Amp.
•Clip: The Legalizer is a predictive clipper which insures signal levels will not
exceed those permitted in the composite domain. Thus its use can insure a televi-
sion transmitter will not be presented illegal video input. If Off or Legal are
selected other adjustments are grayed and may not be changed. While Legal auto-
matically puts in values to insure signals will not exceed composite legal limits,
selecting Custom allows the operator to insert a range of clip values.
•Filter: The Lum Sharp and Chr Sharp settings allow shaping of the passband for
reduced or added sharpness. With both selections set to Off or Normal there is no
modification of the video. Bandwidth reduction can be useful in reducing artifacts
when using the 5330 for preprocessing of signals which will receive MPEG com-
pression, while adding sharpness may benefit signals which arrive at the input
with reduced bandwidth.
•Timing: The 5330’s comprehensive range of timing allows complete flexibility in
placement of the output picture relative to the applied reference input. Hor Timing
takes the horizontal timing across the entire line. A Vert Timing adjustment
completes the range in allowing any output timing desired by the operator.
•Trims: Cb and Cr offsets allow black balance to be corrected while Cb and Cr
gains permit trimming of levels on these two axes. Y/C delay allows the operator to
correct inaccuracy of timing of color information relative to luminance. These trims
are functional regardless of the input or output formats in use.
•Output: The Bypass selection takes the 5330 out of the video path by routing
around it. Split mode may be used to compare input and output signals to observe
the effect of adjustments. Note that these are "live" modes and the bypassed or
split video will be fed on downstream to following equipment.
•Blanking: There are Wide, Narrow or Custom blanking choices. Wide gives
blanking through line 20 (NTSC) or line 22 (PAL), while narrow produces blanking
through line 9 (NTSC) or Line 6 (PAL) of both fields. In the Custom mode any indi-
vidual lines from 9 through 23 may be selectively blanked, with different choices
allowed for each field. Some systems recognize position of the V-bit to control end
of blanking. In the 525 standard V-bit position can be set to line 10, line 20 or line
23. In 625 mode V-bit is fixed at line 23 as this is the only position permitted by
the 625 Standard.
•Memory: Up to five configurations of the 5330 may be saved into memory
registers for later recall. All parameters – gains, input format, filters, blanking,
etc. —are saved in each memory. Unique setups could be stored in memory
registers and one or the other recalled for instant restoration of the required con-
figuration.
5330/6330-10
Model 5330/6330 Video Audio ADC

6330 Audio Processor Configuration
The 6330 Audio Processor will accept audio from analog or AES input connectors. Between
the input and output is a 4x4 audio mixer with tracking audio delay. Any incoming audio
can be mixed, level controlled and/or shuffled to another output channel by means of the
integrated audio router. The tracking audio delay allows synchronization and timing to be
maintained with time base corrected video passing through the video frame synchronizer
of the 5330.
A built in sample rate converter allows use of asynchronous AES input signals. The 6330
also supports encoded audio formats such as AC-3 and Dolby-E. Because these data
streams cannot tolerate sample rate conversion, they must be input to the 6330 syn-
chronous to the video. All audio processing is performed at the full 24 bit resolution of the
system. At the output side of the 6330 submodule the four audio channels are simultane-
ously routed to the AES output connectors while also being embedded on the outgoing SDI
video. An adapter is also available to allow the AES I/O to be converted from BNC to 110
ohm balanced.
The available audio processing remote control menus are summarized below:
•Audio In: Status indicators show presence of AES audio inputs. The In 1/2 Sel and
In 3/4 Sel controls provide for selection of inputs to the 4x4 audio mixer. The
choices for each are AES 1/2, Anlg 1/2, AES 3/4, and Anlg 3/4. Thus any pair of
input audio signals can be routed to either pair of input buses of the 4 input 4
output audio mixer. As we will see shortly, this allows full flexibility of audio
routing. If analog audio is in use the anticipated nominal level of this incoming
audio can be set with the four Anlg Lvl controls.
•Audio Mode: The 5330 can handle both types of content present in AC-3 or Dolby-
E signals. Some synchronizing requirements are necessary for supporting these
protocols.
Select the Audio mode when the input audio signal is a standard audio signal
carrying two channels of linear audio. No special timing requirements are needed
in this mode.
Use the Data mode when the AES audio input is a non-audio, or data, signal.
Some special synchronizing requirements must be observed in this mode as
described in the following examples.
•Audio Mix: This menu gives full access to the 4x4 audio mixer controls. Any input
channel can be routed to any or all output busses. Sliders or Touch Screen rotary
knobs permit levels to be adjusted from -70dB to +12dB. Alternatively a value can
be put in the numeric window, followed by the Enter key, and this will become the
new gain setting. Default buttons are provided for return to zero level.
The Tie function is used for stereo operation where gain of a pair of channels is
usually desired to be the same. An invert selection allows inversion of a channel to
permit phase correction.
•Audio Delay: With the Auto Track switched On, audio will be delayed the same
amount as the video passing through the 5330 frame synchronizer thus preserving
lip sync. If incoming audio is early due to signals passing through an upstream
frame sync without a compensating audio delay, Bulk Delay can be used to correct
the problem. Up to 1000 mS of fixed delay can be added to compensate for
upstream timing errors.

Audio Operational Example
This section describes the audio configuration of the satellite application example given at
the beginning of this manual.
Stereo analog audio is arriving from a satellite receiver as shown in the Satellite block
diagram. We want to embed this audio on an outgoing SDI video stream. In addition we
wish to provide audio for use in an audio console with AES inputs. Tracking audio delay
will be used to maintain proper lip sync.
1. Bring the analog audio into channels 1 and 2. Refer to the connector drawing for
pinout of the 15 pin D connector in the Cabling section.
2. With the In 1/2 Sel choose Anlg 1/2 as the source for channels 1 and 2 of the 4x4
audio mixer.
3. Set Anlg 1 Lvl and Anlg 2 Lvl to the nominal level of the incoming audio.
4. In the Audio Mix menu Select Ch1 for Output Bus 1 and Ch2 for Output Bus 2.
The mixer output buses automatically appear on the designated output pins of the
15 pin D connector in analog form, and on the AES output BNC’s as AES audio.
5. In the Aud Delay menu turn On the Auto Track so audio delay will track the video
timing.

The Proc menu shown below allows you to adjust the following video processing parame-
ters for the signal:
•Gain – adjust the percentage of overall gain (luminance and chrominance).
•Chroma – adjust the percentage of chroma amplitude.
•Pedestal – adjust the pedestal (black) level of the signal in IRE.
•Hue – adjust the hue of the signal ± 180 degrees.
Use the Clip menu shown on the next page to adjust the following parameters:
•Legalizer – set the legalizer function to one of the following:
Off – to disable it.
Legal – to apply the following factory default values:
•B/W Clip is on.
•Black Clip is set to 2.5 IRE.

Custom – to enable the B/W Clip and Chr Clip Modes controls to set custom
parameters with the following controls:
•B/W Clip – select On to enable black and white clip functions or Off to
disable them.
•Black Clip – set the threshold for the black clip level. (No content
will be allowed below the level set.)
•White Clip – set the threshold for the white clip. (No content will be
allowed above the level set.)
•Chr Clip Mode – select one of the following modes:
•Off for no chroma clip functions.
•Chroma to use the chroma clip controls Chr Lo Clip/Chr Hi Clip
to set to clip the chroma content (irrespective of the luminance).
•Cpst to enable the Predictive Composite Clipper. This mode allows
you to ensure that when the signal is encoded to PAL or NTSC, the
minimum and maximum chroma excursions do not exceed preset
levels. Because in composite video, the chroma rides on the
luminance, this clip mode is based on chroma and luminance values.
