Introduction 9082 Functional Description
Video Processor Description
Video Processor
The 9082 provides full color processing control (luma gain and lift, chroma
saturation, and color phase) of the output video.
Frame Sync Function
This function provides for frame sync control using either one of two external
EXT REF IN (1,2) reference signals distributed with the card frame, or the input
video as a frame sync reference.
This function allows horizontal and/or vertical offset to be added between the
output video and the frame sync reference. A video delay offset function
allows adding or reducing video delay. This function is useful for correcting
lip sync problems when video and audio paths in the chain experience
differing overall delays. A Reset Framesync function resets the frame sync
following any horizontal or vertical offset changes, clearing any buffered
video and re-establishing the frame sync. The 9082 re-establishes video sync
following framesync changes by applying an offset in small, progressive
amounts to provide a seamless, glitch-free retiming.
In the event of input video loss of signal, this function provides for disabling
the video, going to a desired color raster, or freezing to the last intact frame
(frame having valid SAV and EAV codes).
Note: Although the 9082 passes all four groups of embedded audio, the 9082 frame
sync function is not ideally suited for streams carrying audio because the
9082 does not have tracking embedded audio delay found on our cards spe-
cifically designed for video/audio framesync (such as the Compass®9081 or
9083 models). If the 9082 is used to carry audio, noticeable audio glitches
may occur when processing asynchronous inputs.
AFD Inserter
This function provides for assignment and insertion of AFD codes into the
SDI output video. Using this function, AFD codes in accordance with the
standard 4-bit AFD code designations can be applied to the output video.
This function checks for any existing AFD code within the received video
input. If a code is present, the code is displayed. When used in conjunction
with a separate downstream card capable of providing AFD-directed scaling,
the image can in turn be scaled in accordance with the AFD coding embedded
by this card.
The function also allows the selection/changing of the AFD code and
ancillary data line number for the outputted AFD code.

19082 Functional Description
1-8 9082 PRODUCT MANUAL 9082-OM (V4.4)
Timecode Processor
(See Figure 1-2.) This function provides for extraction of timecode data from
the input video, and in turn re-insertion of timecode data into the output SDI.
The function can monitor the SDI video input of the card for supported
timecode formats, and then select and prioritize among SDI VITC,
SDI ATC VITC, and SDI ATC LTC timecode sources. If the preferred format
is detected, the preferred format is used by the card; if the preferred format is
not detected, the card uses other formats (where available) as desired.
The function provides conversion between various timecode formats and
provides independent insertion and line number controls for each SDI
timecode output format.

Introduction 9082 Functional Description
9082 Rear I/O Modules
The 9082 physically interfaces to system video connections using a Rear I/O
Module. Figure 1-4 shows a typical 9082 Rear I/O Module.
All inputs and outputs shown in the 9082 Functional Block Diagram (Figure
1-1) enter and exit the card via the card edge backplane connector. The
Rear I/O Module breaks out the 9082 card edge connections to industry
standard connections that interface with other components and systems in the
signal chain.
In this manner, the particular inputs and outputs required for a particular
application can be accommodated using a Rear I/O Module that best suits the
requirements. The required input and outputs are broken out to the industry
standard connectors on the Rear I/O Module; the unused inputs and outputs
remain unterminated and not available for use.
The full assortment of 9082 Rear I/O Modules is shown and described in
9082 Rear I/O Modules (p. 2-4) in Chapter 2, “Installation and Setup”.
Figure 1-4 Typical 9082 Rear I/O Modules
Where a maximum of five BNC connections can suit
particular I/O requirements, a “split”Rear I/O Module offers
maximum card density within the frame by accommodating
two cards using a module occupying no more area than a
standard module. The RM20-9082-A/S shown here
accommodates the signal complement shown for two
adjacent 9082 cards. (Split modules are identified by “/S”in
the part number.)
Viewed from rear, the right column
of BNC connectors accommodates
the right-most card, with the left
column accommodating the
adjacent card to the left.
In this example with two 9082 cards
in slots 1 and 2, the right column
serves 9082, slot 1 and the left
column serves 9082, slot 2.
