BBG-1078-ANC-MON Functional Description
Figure 1-1 shows a typical layout using the card to show one of the SDI
inputs, and numerous status fields related to the input.
Figure 1-2 shows a functional block diagram of the BBG-1078-ANC-MON.
The BBG-1078-ANC-MON includes input processing functions to
accommodate up to five SDI inputs. User-selectable status fields allow the
checking for various ancillary data types (and displaying parametric values or
other information as applicable). The BBG-1078-ANC-MON also allows up
to any five of the program video input rasters to be displayed in a multiviewer
format on the combined video output of the card. The card combined output is
available as a 2x DA 3G/HD/SD-SDI output or HDMI/DVI. The output raster
format is user-configurable via an output video scaler.
Figure 1-1 Typical BBG-1078-ANC-MON Display Layout and Status Fields
Image Area showing Single Input layoutUser-configurable Status Display fields
Image Area and raster display can be positioned and sized as desired.
Up to 15 discrete Status Fields can be simultaneously displayed on the overall output image. Each can be sized and
positioned as desired. Each can also be independently set to display the desired type of ANC data status for any of the five
input channels..
