Crystal Vision Introduction

1 Introduction
ADDEC-200 is a broadcast decoder. It brings together onto one PCB both the functions
of a 12-bit decoder and synchroniser/delay module.
The ADDEC-200 will convert PAL/NTSC composite, Y/C or YUV component video to
SDI using a high quality 12-bit decoder which can deal with any source from broadcast
quality to VHS, and will accept damaged or jittery signals. The data is sampled at 54 Mbit
per second (four times oversampled) allowing the highest quality digital filtering. It also
offers the latest in comb technology, with a five-line comb resulting in exceptional
decoding. Timing, gains and levels are also adjustable.
The on-board video frame synchroniser allows untimed inputs to be timed to the local
syncs. It will sort out any incorrect frame rates plus any delays by taking its timing from
the external analogue reference and will automatically synchronise sources between 0 and
2 fields.
An audio follow pulse is also produced which allows ADDEC-200 to be used with an
external audio delay such as the TAD202.
The ADDEC-200 will fully integrate with any other interface or keying product from the
Crystal Vision range. Further flexibility is afforded by the large choice of control options.
Control options include board edge control, local or remote active control panel and the
Statesman PC Control System.

Crystal Vision Introduction
426/01/06
ADDEC-200 12-bit Synchronising Decoder
ADDEC-200 is a 100mm x 266mm module that fits in Crystal Vision four standard frame
sizes. 24 modules fit in 4U, 12 modules fit in 2U, six in 1U or two in a desktop box. There
are a range of rear connector modules available for the ADDEC which allow the system
builder great flexibility in frame configuration.
1.1 Operating modes
Synchroniser and Delay Modes
ADDEC-200 has two modes of operation, Synchronisation and Delay.
In Synchronisation Mode the unit takes its timing from the analogue external reference
and will automatically synchronise sources with or without embedded audio between zero
and two fields. Synchronisation Mode is ideal for external sources that are not timed to
station references such as satellite or remote contribution feeds.
In Delay Mode, timing is derived only from the analogue input. Typical applications are
where a source passes through a processor such as a DVE, Chroma keyer or standards
converter where the delay can be a few microseconds, multiple lines or up to two fields.
The video delay remains fully adjustable over two complete fields. This allows the output
of the ADDEC-200 in synchronisation mode to be timed into any edit suite irrespective of
the timing of the black and burst reference used.

Crystal Vision Introduction
526/01/06
Audio follow pulse
There is also a positive going external TTL level audio follow video (AFV) pulse output,
the duration of which reflects the current video delay. The AFV output can be used with
external audio delay processors such as the TAD202 if required.
Analogue video formats
The composite video input may be selected to be composite or YC PAL/NTSC or
525/625-line component YUV. Input standard selection is automatic and will follow the
input video. Data in the VBI (vertical blanking interval) of the analogue composite input
can be blanked or passed. NTSC- J and NTSC-M with or without 7.5% IRE setup is also
selectable when receiving an NTSC format video input. Betacam input levels are also
accepted.
Freezing the picture
The default picture freeze is Field 1. An active front panel or Statesman PC control
system will allow Frame, Field 1 or Field 2 to be selected. This is useful if there is
movement between both fields as a frame freeze may show movement judder. Field
freeze will remove judder by repeating the same field to produce a synthetic frame of
video, without movement judder. However a field freeze is more likely to show jagged
edges on near horizontal lines.
Video Input loss behaviour
The ADDEC-200 output will cut to blue immediately on loss of input video.
Status and control
Status and control of the ADDEC-200 is available using the board edge menu selection
switches and LEDs. Full function control and status reporting is also available from either
an active frame front or remote active control panel. PC control is also available using
Crystal Visions Statesman PC controller package.
Note. When the ADDEC-200 is set to remote control mode the position of the board edge
switches may not reflect the actual configuration of the card. Returning the card to local
control will reinsert the board edge configuration

2 Hardware installation
The ADDEC single height module uses the RM01, RM23, RM24, RM25 and RM27 rear
connector. The RM25 quad height module will only fit into the 2U and 4U frames,
although the rest will fit into all Crystal Vision rack frames. All modules can be plugged
in and removed while the frame is powered without damage.
2.1 Rear modules and signal I/O
The Indigo 4 4U frame will house up to 24 single height modules with up to three power
supplies. The FR2AV and Indigo 2 2U frames will house up to 12 single height modules
and dual power supplies. The FR1AV and Indigo 1 1U frames will house six single height
modules and a single power supply. The DTBAV and Indigo desk top boxes both have a
built-in power supply and will house up to two single height modules.
Note: For details of fitting rear connectors please refer to the appropriate frame manual

Module configuration
The ADDEC-200 has five user selectable jumper links, which configure the Component
U / YC-C / Serial digital output, the Component V / SDI OUT and the Sync input
termination impedance.
V / SDI OUT port configuration
The Component V / SDI OUT port can be configured by setting the position of links PL2
& PL5 (to be found just above the middle right hand edge of the module). When a
Component V input is required set jumper link PL2 & PL5 to their upper position. Set
jumper PL2 & PL5 to their lower position when a further SDI output is required.
Note links PL2 & PL5 must be moved together as a pair.
Link Position Function

U / YC-C / SDI OUT port configuration
The Component U / YC-C / SDI OUT port can be configured by setting the position of
links PL3 & PL6 (to be found approximately in the middle right hand edge of the
module). When a Component U or C input is required set jumper link PL3 & PL6 to their
upper position. Set jumper PL3 & PL6 to their lower position when a further SDI output
is required.
Note links PL3 & PL6 must be moved together as a pair.

The external analogue reference may be terminated with 75Ωor left un-terminated for
when using the loop through output. Set jumper link PL3 (to be found at the middle right
hand edge of the module) to its left –hand position (away from the board connector) to
terminate the external reference. Set jumper PL3 to its right-hand position (towards the
board connector) to un-terminate the reference input.

Adjusting the video delay or offset
Adjustment is made by rotating the card edge ‘Delay’ shaft control. The range of this

incremented in single samples when the shaft is rotated very slowly; a quicker rotation
will result in a coarse adjustment.
This sets the number of lines or pixels to be delayed in Delay Mode, or the vertical timing
offset with respect to the reference input in Synchronisation Mode.
