Crystal Vision Introduction
Up-and-down User Manual R2.5 318/03/2009
1Introduction
Up-and-down provides format conversion between High Definition and Standard
definition and different HD formats sharing the same line rate. This is achieved by using
the latest motion adaptive video de-interlacing techniques incorporating both detail and
edge enhancement processing. DA outputs are available for both the reclocked input and
converted program.
Up-and-down converter
The main features are as follows:
•Combined up, down and cross conversion
•Motion adaptive video de-interlacing with both detail and edge enhancement
•Flexible aspect ratio conversion
•Auto bypass when input and output are the same standard
•One frame video delay in all modes
•Two scaled outputs and two input loop-throughs
•Fits in standard frames alongside HD, SD and audio products
Up-and-down is a 100mm x 266mm module, which fits in the four standard frames and
can be integrated with any boards from the company’s full product range. The RM34 is
the rear module of choice although the RM29 can also be used.

1.1 Operating modes
Up-and-down incorporates a number of processing features to ensure that maximum
performance is maintained under all circumstances. To obtain the best results when
scaling up or down generally requires different techniques depending on whether the
video contains slow or fast moving images. Up-and-down employs motion adaptive video
de-interlacing to maximise the picture’s vertical resolution alongside a scaler and frame
rate converter to achieve the best picture that always appears smooth and natural-looking.
Up converting from SD to HD will give a softer picture: the adjustable detail
enhancement feature allows image sharpening. Fine edge detail processing additionally
ensures that the picture remains clear and sharp without creating unpleasant jagged edges.
To maintain best picture quality Up-and-down automatically enters a bypass mode when
the input is the same as the selected output standard. This is achieved by bypassing the
major processing blocks. Whilst in bypass the gain, offset, detail and aspect ratio controls
will be inactive.

2Hardware installation
The Up-and-down single height module uses the RM34 rear connector that 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 Indigo 2 2U frame will house up to 12 single height modules and dual
power supplies. The Indigo 1 1U frame will house six single height modules and a single
power supply. The Indigo DT desk top box has 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.
Rear module connections with RM34
The RM34 being the rear module of choice is a single height module that will allow
maximum packing density with the maximum number of outputs available.

3.1 Card edge controls
Once the start-up initialisation procedure is complete, the Up-and-down card can be
controlled or configured from the card edge, the active control panel or the Statesman PC
interface. This chapter will concentrate on the card edge controls.
The front edge of the card provides power rail monitoring, menu selection, variables
adjustment and a ten-digit visual status display.
Up-and-down front edge view
3.2 Card edge buttons
The Up-and-down is fitted with two tactile push button switches that allow the operator to
navigate within the menu structure.

Yellow No function at present
Green No function at present
3.5 Navigating card edge menus
To access the card edge menu system proceed as follows:
•Press the up-arrow [∧] until a top menu category is reached
•Rotate the SCROLL control until the desired menu category is found
•Push ENTER to enter the sub menus of that category
•Rotate SCROLL to select a sub menu
•Push ENTER to select the desired function. Selection will be indicated by the
text being displayed in italic text
•Rotate ADJUST to make the desired change to the selected parameter. The
display brightness will flash slowly to indicate that a change has been made and
requires confirmation
•Push ENTER to action the change. The display will cease flashing
•Use the up-arrow [∧] and SCROLL control to navigate to further menus
Note. The displayed menu brightness will flash slowly if confirmation of a change is required.

This operational guide assumes that the panel has been set up according to the Panel setup
procedure described in the Crystal Vision Control Panel manual.
Note: It is ESSENTIAL that the Panel setup procedure is followed and any old or unknown
passwords cleared prior to using the panel for the first time.
At power up, the two line 20-character screen will display ‘Crystal Vision’ followed by
the firmware version number for the control panel. All eight control panel keys LEDs will
illuminate.
The Crystal Vision control panel start up display
'Control Panel' then briefly replaces the version number display.
If the control panel firmware has been updated for Statesman control (version 1.5.0 or
higher), Statesman Mode will be entered and the message, ‘Press CAL to Exit’ will be
displayed and the CAL LED will light.
Statesman mode is entered by default

Crystal Vision Using the front control panel
Up-and-down User Manual R2.5 18 18/03/2009
To continue with control panel operation or configuration, press the CAL key once. A
second press of the CAL key will return to Statesman control.
The control panel will display the name of the card that first responds to the polling
request together with its location number.
The location number consists of the frame number plus the card position in the frame.
Navigating the display
The functions assigned to control panel keys are:
•DEVICE – enters Device menu to select a card or show cards available / enters Panel
setup when held down during power up / shows frame status when pressed from
Statesman mode
•CAL – enters or leaves Statesman mode / enters panel diagnostics mode when held down
during power up / updates the display
•Asterisk – enters board rename menu from the Device menu
•F1 to F4 – soft keys, function assigned within each menu
•HOME – moves the display to the home menu
•ENTER – accept current selection
•Upward arrow – used to move up the menu structure / enter lock panel menu from the
Device menu

Updating the display
The values displayed on an active front panel are only updated when an adjustment is
made and when changing menu level. If changes occur through the use of card edge
controls or other remote control, the text displayed on the active front panel will not be
updated immediately. If necessary, use the upward arrow to leave and then re-enter a
menu to update the display.

structure
At any time the main top-level menu (Home) is obtained by pressing the HOME key.
From the home menu further selections can be made. Active function keys are indicated
by illuminated, integrated LEDs.
The main top-level menus for the Up-and-down module are obtained by pressing the F1-
F4 keys from the HOME menu. Menu keys are illuminated when active and when further
menus are available. The top-level menus are:
•Video controls (Output format selection, Aspect ratio and Detail) – press F1
•Reset (Factory defaults) – press F2
•Gains (Video gains and offsets) – press F3
•Stats (Status) – press F4
When a sub menu has been selected, further options may be obtained by using the Shaft
control to scroll through them. Once the desired option has been located a selection or
value change can be made by either toggling the appropriate function key or by selecting
and using the shaft control to alter a numerical value. A configuration change or value
will be activated as the shaft control is rotated or function button is toggled. The variable
being adjusted will appear in brackets. Pressing Enter will fix the new value.
The following chart shows the available Up-and-down menus. The actual menus available
may vary slightly as software is updated.
