Introduction BBG-1002-UDX Functional Description
BBG-1002-UDX Functional Description
Figure 1-1 shows a functional block diagram of the BBG-1002-UDX. The
BBG-1002-UDX up/down/cross converter also optionally includes AES/
analog audio support and CVBS video I/O. In addition to a basic signal
presence input failover function, a Quality Check option allows failover to
alternate inputsbased on user-configurable subjective criteria such as black or
frozen frame. Two discrete character burn strings and timecode burn can be
inserted on output video, with each string inserted as static text and/or insert
only upon LOS. A moving-box insertion can be enabled to serve as a dynamic
raster confidence check even in cases where the input video image is static or
lost. The BBG-1002-UDX uses a built-in web server that allows control/
monitor over computers or smart devices.
The BBG-1002-UDX also provides ARC processing and timecode/
closed-captioning conversion from packet-based timecode formats and
CEA608/708 HD formats to HD ATC, SD_ATC, and SD VITC-based
(waveform) timecode. Closed captioning from CEA708 to HD formats and
line 21 SD closed captioning are available on the processed HD-SD-SDI
outputs.
BBG-1002-UDX Input/Output Formats
The BBG-1002-UDX provides the following inputs and outputs:
•Inputs:
•3G/HD/SD SDI IN A thru SDI IN D –four 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs.
SDI IN A or SDI IN B can be set to failover to Aor Bin absence of
opposite channel of this pair.
•Outputs:
•3G/HD/SD-SDI OUT (1-4) –four 3G/HD/SD-SDI buffered video
outputs. Each output can be independently set as processed output
video or selected input video reclocked.
•RLY BYP B –3G/HD/SD-SDI which outputs a copy of SDI OUT 1
under normal conditions, or passive outputs the SDI input on
SDI IN B as a relay failover if device power is lost.
•Certain models also provide analog audio inputs/outputs, and
coaxial AES inputs/outputs that allow audio embed/de-embed.
Certain models also provide an CVBS analog video input and
output.

Introduction BBG-1002-UDX Functional Description
Video Processor Description
The BBG-1002-UDX features a up/down/cross-convert scaler, frame sync,
and user-adjustable aspect ratio control and zoom control. The
BBG-1002-UDX video subsystem also provides the functions described
below.
Input Video Select/Quality Check Functions
A GUI-based control allows each of the device video inputs to be
independently set as 3G/HD/SD-SDI or CVBS SD analog video. Either mode
preserves waveform and/or packet-based ancillary data for extraction and
usage later in the processing chain.
The input can be selected using DashBoard manual control, set to failover to
an alternate input upon loss of the target input, and can be externally selected
via a GPIO interface. An input Allowed Rasters and Allowed Frame Rates filter
allows inputs to be filtered (screened) for only user-allowed raster sizes and
frame rates, with unallowed raster/rates being rejected as an input (input
unlock).Reclocked copies of any SDI input can be outputted when selected as
a choice on the output crosspoint.
(Option +QC). Quality Check allows subjective criteria such
as black/frozen frame events to propagate an event alert. This alert can be
used by the device Presets function to invoke video routing changes, GPO,
and other actions.
Auto-Changeover Function
(See Figure 1-2.) This function allows the logic assert of input select and
routing to the RLY BYP B processed output under normal conditions, while
providing latching relays at both the input and output nodes to provide input
failover to select an alternate input, and also provides output failover which
can passively relay-route the currently selected input directly to the output if
the unit loses power.
The RLY BYP B SDI output retains selected routing regardless of whether a
selection was manually invoked or by a unit-detected failover (such as loss of
power). For example, prior to a power loss event if a changeover from
SDI IN A to SDI IN B was active at the time, this selection is retained by the
latching relays. In a power-loss event, SDI IN B would be directly routed to
output RLY BYP B, and the unit automatically removed from the signal path
until normal operation again commences. In normal operation, the output
relay always maintains routing from the processed output to output
RLY BYP B.

1BBG-1002-UDX Functional Description
1-8 BBG-1002-UDX PRODUCT MANUAL BBG1002UDX-OM (V1.5)
Note: •The unit also provides active (DA-driven) outputs RCK/PROC 1 thru
RCK/PROC 4. These outputs are independent of the relay failover function
and will lose signal in the event of a power loss.
•The above failover uses basic signal presence as failover criteria and is
limited to inputs Aand B. Failover using active assessments (Quality
Check) can be set to provide failovers using frozen/black frame and other
criteria. See Video Quality Events Detect Function (p. 1-14) for more
information.
Figure 1-2 Auto-Changeover Function and Signal Flow
Timecode Processor
(See Figure 1-3.) This function provides for extraction of timecode data from
input video source, and in turn allow individual timecode strings to be
embedded and/or burned into the output video. The function can monitor any
of the video inputs of the device for supported timecode formats such as
ATC_LTC or ATC_VITC for down-conversions to HD, and ATC_VITC or
VITC waveform (with selectable odd/even field line number control) for SD
SDI or CVBS inputs. Waveform VITC timecode can also be extracted from a
reference input and used as the output timecode value. If the preferred format
is detected, the preferred format is used; if the preferred format is not
detected, the device uses other formats (where available) as desired. An
internally-generated free-run timecode can be also be embedded on output
video if desired.

Introduction BBG-1002-UDX Functional Description
The function also provides conversion between various timecode formats and
provides independent insertion and line number controls for each SDI
timecode output format.
When licensed with option +LTC, this function also can
receive and translate audio LTC timecode (from Emb Ch 1-16) for insertion
as SMPTE 12M ATC timecode formats onto the output video as described
above.
Figure 1-3 Timecode Processor
Frame Sync Function
This function provides for frame sync control using a looping reference input
that can use black burst or tri-level sync signals distributed within the plant, or
use the input video as a frame sync reference.
This function also allows horizontal and/or vertical offset to be added
between the output video and the frame sync reference.
Frame sync can select from either of two device frame reference sources, or
free-run input video sync. Selectable failover allows alternate reference
selection should the initial reference source become unavailable or invalid. In
the event of input video loss of signal, the output can be set to disable video,
go to black, go to an internal test signal generator pattern, or freeze to the last
intact frame (last frame having valid SAV and EAV codes).

1-10 BBG-1002-UDX PRODUCT MANUAL BBG1002UDX-OM (V1.5)
An internal test signal generator provides a selection of various standard
patterns such as color bars, sweep patterns, and other technical patterns. The
test patterns can be applied to the output video upon loss of input or manually
inserted at any time.
Scaler Function
The scaler function provides up/down/cross-conversion to 3G/HD/SD from
multiple SD and 3G/HD video formats and multiple frame rates, and
cross-conversion between interlaced and progressive formats, with
auto-format detect/down-conversion of SMPTE 424M/292M/259M formats.
The scaler function also provides aspect ratio conversion that provides a
choice from several standard aspect ratios. User-defined settings allow
custom user-defined H and V aspect ratio control. Reticule insertion provides
safe action area marking as well as other reticule functions and patterns.
The scaler provides special modes that allow de-interlacing to be bypassed in
certain cases to reduce processing latency. Also provided are selections to
optimize 3:2 pulldown conversion where timecode or other timing references
can be relied upon to indicate frame transitions.
Frame Rate Conversion. (Option
+FRC) Linear Frame
Rate Conversion provides conversions between most SD/HD/3G formats –
25/50, 29.97/30/59.94/60, and 23.98/24 (both film and PsF), and also
provides conversions between 50, 59.94, and 60 Hz frame rates. (Figure 1-4
shows the input/output conversions available.) A user FRC Level Control
allows bypassing the FRC for cases where FRC is not needed (thereby
preserving lowest processing latency), or selecting from basic frame rate
conversion (where frames may be duplicated or dropped as required), and
finally three levels of non-dup/drop true conversion where a transitioning
frames is blended from a preceding frame to the subsequent frame.
The aggressiveness levels provide for a subjective balance of detail accuracy
and motion fluidness, where selection of the aggressiveness level can be best
chosen for the type of content. +FRC is available as a software option for
devices purchased new and as a field upgrade.

Wings Insertion
Wings insertion allows a symmetrical L-R wings insertion to be integrated
into the program video output. Wings video is accommodated using a
separate wings SDI input. The wings user interface displays wings timing
relative to the output video, allowing wings timing offset to be adjusted such
that wings can be properly framed. (This function does not provide timing
offset control of the wings video; offset must be provided by a external frame
sync card or device controlling the wings video feed.)
The wings L/R insertion width can be manually configured, or can be set to
automatically track with aspect ratio as set by the device.

1BBG-1002-UDX Functional Description
1-12 BBG-1002-UDX PRODUCT MANUAL BBG1002UDX-OM (V1.5)
Key/Fill Insertion
Option +KEYER provides for three of the device SDI video inputs to be used
as respective program video, key, and fill inputs. Providing back-end (post
scaler) keying, this function provides chroma keying using the KEY VID IN
signal. The FILL VID IN signal provides the fill video that is inserted in the area
“cleared out”by the key. The keying user interface displays key and fill
timing relative to the output video, allowing timing offset to be adjusted such
that key and fill can be properly framed. (The option and its host device does
not provide timing offset control of the key/fill video; offset must be provided
by external frame sync cards or devices controlling the key and fill video
feed.) The program video input when using keying accommodates either an
SDI or an analog video input; key and fill inputs are SDI only.
Alpha threshold keyer modes allow full-color key/fill from cost-effective
generic sources such as a standard PC (with appropriate HDMI-to-SDI output
conversion) hosting simple .bmp, .jpeg, or.png graphic files. In these modes,
a common key/fill SDI input provides both the key and fill input.
EAS Text Crawl Generation Option +EAS provides for
automated keying Emergency Alert System (EAS) text crawls in the active
program video output. The function receives its text stream via a device serial
data input. The EAS crawl start can be set to trigger upon receiving the serial
data message, or be set to use a GPI to trigger start of the EAS crawl.
Embedded in the received serial data are commands which set the message
severity to be shown by the keyed crawl (severity is correlated to
user-specified text color and background color for the crawl). User controls
allow control of the crawl speed and repeat of the crawl burn-in (if desired).
Refer to +TTS Manual Supplement OPT-SW-PHXEAS-MS for detailed
information and installation/setup instructions. This supplement is furnished
with the option.
Closed Captioning Processor
This function provides support for closed captioning setup. The function
allows the selection of the ancillary data line number where the ancillary
closed caption data is outputted when the output is HD. When receiving
HD-SDI, both CEA 608 and CEA 708 are supported, with CEA 608 and
CEA 708 (containing CEA 608 packets) converted to line 21 closed
captioning on outputs down-converted to SD.
Color Corrector
Option +COLOR converts the YCbCr SDI input video to the 4:4:4 RGB color
space (where the color correction is applied), and then back to YCbCr SDI on
the output. Controls are available to adjust each RGB level independently for
both white levels (gain) and black levels (offset). Gamma can also be
independently adjusted for each RGB channels. Various controls can be
ganged to provide adjustment for all three color channels simultaneously.

Introduction BBG-1002-UDX Functional Description
Ancillary Data Processor
This function provides full VANC/HANC ancillary data de-embedding and
embedding for 3G/HD/SD-SDI streams. Direct access to DID and SDID
locations allows extraction or insertion of user data such as camera PTZ,
SCTE 104, closed-captioning read/insert, GPI/GPO via ANC, or other
specialized user payloads. Data can be extracted and inserted within the
device, bypassing the scaler (Bridge mode), or inserted and/or extracted to
and from the device via serial or IP interfaces connecting to external devices/
systems. A rear panel connector bank with a dedicated IP port can be used
with the ancillary data processor function for data insertion or extraction via
IP.
AFD ARC Processor
(See Figure 1-5.) Option +AFD allows extracted Aspect Ratio Control (ARC)
data from the input video (in either AFD, WSS, or VI formats) and provides:
•Format translation between AFD, WSS, and VI ARC formats.
•H/V cross-conversion matrix in which a received code directs a same
or other user-selectable alternate H/V ratio on the output for any of
several H/V ratios.
•Directs scaler automatic active ARC in response to received and/or
converted ARC code (Scaler Follows ARC).
The input video is checked for ARC formats and can be set to provide a
trigger upon when a selected ARC format is received, the code associated
with the received format can be applied to the output as a translated format
(for, example, from WSS to AFD). Received H/V codes can also be applied
through an H/V conversion matrix that allows alternate H/V ratios for a given
received input code. The ARC code format priority works in that AFD has
highest priority, with WSS or VI selectable as the next priority. In conjunction
with a user-accessible cross-matrix table, the received code then in turn
directs any of several user-selectable H/V settings to be inserted on the output
video as AFD, WSS, and/or VI codes. AFD, WSS and/or VI can be rejected
for input consideration. The selected output H/V ratio can be set to
automatically apply this aspect ratio to the program video.

Character/Image Burn-in Functions
User text and timecode (as selected using the timecode function) can be
burned into the output video. Burn-in attributes such as size, position,
background, color, and opacity are user-configurable. Two discrete character
burn strings can be inserted on output video, with each string inserted as static
text and/or insert only upon LOS. A moving-box insertion can be enabled to
serve as a dynamic raster confidence check even in cases where the input
video image is static or lost.
Options +T-SLATE and +LOGO respectively provide for
automated trouble slate and logo (such as ID “bug”) into the output video
raster. Refer to +LOGO / +T-SLATE Manual Supplement
OPT-SW-PHXLTS-MS for detailed information and installation/setup
instructions. This supplement is furnished with either of these options.
Video Quality Events Detect Function
Option +QC provides a Video Quality Events user interface and an Event
Triggers user interface for setting an area of concern across the program raster
which can be monitored for frozen or black video events. Threshold controls
allow setting the sensitivity of the function, while engage and disengage
threshold timing controls allow setting how fast the event detection engages
and releases when triggered. The Event Triggers user interface allows
instructing the device as to the action to take upon an event (such as go to a
changed signal routing, activate a GPO, send an automated email, or go to a
user-defined preset).

Introduction BBG-1002-UDX Functional Description
Closed Captioning Events Detect Function
An Event Triggers user interface can detect Closed Caption Presence and
Closed Caption Absence events. The Event Triggers user interface in turn
allows instructing the device as to the action to take upon an event (such as go
to a changed signal routing, activate a GPO, send an automated email, or go to
a user-defined preset).
Ancillary Data Processor
This function provides full VANC/HANC ancillary data de-embedding and
embedding for 3G/HD/SD-SDI streams. Direct access to DID and SDID
locations allows extraction or insertion of user data such as camera PTZ,
SCTE 104, closed-captioning read/insert, GPI/GPO via ANC, or other
specialized user payloads. Data can be extracted and inserted within the
device (Bridge mode), or inserted and/or extracted to and from the device via
serial or IP interfaces connecting to external devices/systems. A rear I/O
module with a dedicated IP port can be used with the ancillary data processor
function for data insertion or extraction via IP.
This option also provides SMPTE 337 embed/de-embed, which allows serial
user data to be embedded and de-embedded over unused embedded audio
pairs.
Video Output Crosspoint
A four-output video matrix crosspoint allows independently applying the
device processed video output or reclocked input to any of the four device
discrete coaxial outputs (SDI OUT 1 thru SDI OUT 4).
An additional output (RLY BYP B) provides a relay-protected output that
outputs a copy of SDI OUT 1 crosspoint selection in normal operation. In
power loss failover RLY BYP B passive outputs the signal connected to
SDI IN B.
Audio Processor Description
The audio processor operates as an internal audio router. This function
chooses from the following inputs:
•16 channels of embedded audio from the SDI video input (default
1-to-1 routing to SDI output)
•The processor function provides group enable/disable and
de-embedding of the 16-channel embedded audio SDI input.

1BBG-1002-UDX Functional Description
1-16 BBG-1002-UDX PRODUCT MANUAL BBG1002UDX-OM (V1.5)
(See Figure 1-6.) The audio processing subsection is built around a device
internal 16-channel bus. This 16-channel bus receives inputs from an input
routing crosspoint that routes de-embedded (and discrete AES and analog
audio inputs) over the 16-channel device bus. Correspondingly, at the output
end of the 16-channel bus is an output routing crosspoint that in turn
distributes the 16-channel bus signals to embedded (and discrete AES and
analog audio) outputs.
An Input Audio Status display shows the presence and peak level of each
input audio channel received by the device. For digital audio inputs, payload
is identified (PCM or data such as Dolby®Digital or E), as well as sample rate
for discrete AES inputs. Discrete AES inputs can have sample rate conversion
applied to align these inputs with the output timing (received sample rates
from 32 kHz to 96 kHz are supported). An audio silence check can detect, on
any channel, audio that persists below a specified loudness exceeding a
configurable time span. This check can propagate an alert to the device
Presets function to invoke audio routing and other changes.
As such, the audio subsection provides a full crosspoint between all supported
audio inputs and output formats.
In addition to SDI embedded audio channel sources, analog pair inputs and
coaxial AES inputs are available on certain models. For digital audio inputs,
payload is identified (PCM or data such as Dolby®Digital or E), as well as
sample rate for discrete AES inputs. Discrete AES inputs can have sample
rate conversion applied to align these inputs with the output timing in cases
where AES audio is not synchronous with input video. This model also
provides an analog audio output pair and a coaxial AES output which can
receive any embedded channel.
