A1452 SCTE-104 Inserter Frame Card
1 Introduction
1.1 Product Description
The A1452 frame card brings the SCTE-104 insertion functionality of
EEG’s industry standard Smart Encoder to the openGear®platform. The
frame card utilizes the user friendly DashBoard software, which is avail-
able for Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems and streamlines
setup of the A1452.

3.1 Front Panel
The front of the A1452 card is depicted in the following diagram:
Power LED The power LED will be green when the
card is receiving power from the frame.
USB Connectors Reserved for future use.
Video Status (AUX) This LED will be off when there is no
video present on the auxiliary input.
When HD or 3G video is present, it will
be green, and when SD video is present,
it will be orange.
Video Status (Main) This LED will be red when there is no
video present on the main input. When
HD or 3G video is present, it will be
green, and when SD video is present, it
will be orange.
3.2 DashBoard Menus
The DashBoard software is used to configure encoder settings, network-
ing, and perform additional basic configuration for the frame card. It
can be downloaded from Ross Video: https://www.rossvideo.com
Once you have successfully installed the DashBoard tool, open the pro-
gram to find information about the A1452 and to configure your card.

A1452 SCTE-104 Inserter Frame Card
There are two main sections in the DashBoard interface: the Status in-
formation on the left side and the Setup menu on the right side. At the
bottom of the interface, you will find the Upload button, which can be
used to upgrade your A1452’s DashBoard interface firmware, and the
Reboot button, which can be used to reboot your A1452.
The upper section on the left shows the Card State and the Connection
status, each of which has an indicator light and description of the card’s
status. There is a more detailed tab labeled Status Information below
the two basic indicators that provides information about the card’s ver-
sion and its current setup configurations.
The System Status section shows what video types are present and
the current status of the Ethernet connection. Output Status displays
the mode that the encoder is operating in; the icon will be green when
the unit is in active operating mode and will be red when the Encoder
is in Relay Bypass mode. Master Input Format displays the video type

detected on the master video input, including format information for HD
video, while Auxillary Input Format indicates the video type detected on
the auxillary video input, including format information for HD video. The
Upgrade Status field displays information about whether the encoder is
currently loading an upgrade.
The lower section entitled Product displays identifying information about
the hardware and software versions of the card. This section displays
the supplier, the build number, the firmware number, and the ASW ver-
sion to identify the software installed and the serial number of the card.
The setup section in the right half of the tool is broken up into two tabs:
System and SCTE-104.

3.2.1 System
The System tab contains the address settings the unit will use when con-
nected to a local network, as well as control of the relay-bypass mecha-
nism.
Insertion Selects the operating mode of the frame card and
specifies whether data is being inserted.
IP Address Selects the network address that the unit will be
assigned on your LAN.
Subnet Mask Selects the bit mask used. This should match the
bit mask used on your LAN.
Gateway Selects the address of the computer or device that
the unit will use to communicate outside of your
local network, when applicable.

3.2.2 SCTE-104
These settings control the A1452’s SCTE-104 insertion functionality.
Date/Time of Last Trigger Displays the date and time of the last
SCTE-104 insertion trigger received.
IP/Port of Last Client Displays the IP address and port of the
last client to connect to the card over
the LAN.
Num. Clients Currently
Connected
The number of network clients cur-
rently connected to the SCTE-104 mod-
ule will be displayed here.
Enable Module Controls whether the SCTE-104 inser-
tion application is active.
VANC Insertion Line Determines which VANC line SCTE-104
packets will be inserted on.

A1452 SCTE-104 Inserter Frame Card
Allow LAN Connections If set to Yes, SCTE-104 insertion can
be triggered via LAN connection on the
port specified below.
LAN Port If the Allow LAN Connections setting
is turned on, this field determines the
port on which LAN connections will be
accepted.
Insert Immediately If set to Yes, a SCTE-104 packet will be
inserted into VANC immediately when
the application receives a LAN trigger.

3.3 Web Portal
The Web Portal allows you to access status information and configura-
tions for your A1452 from any computer on your local network. Sev-
eral web applications are installed at the factory for all A1452 units:
a Startup Setting editor, a web-based serial-emulation Terminal for en-
tering Smart Encoder commands, system date/time configuration, and
control of the SCTE-104 insertion module.
Once you have configured your A1452’s network settings in DashBoard
and connected it to your LAN via the port on the rear module, you can
open up a web browser on any PC on the same local network. Navi-
gate to the IP address that you configured in DashBoard; for example,
type 192.168.1.15 into the address bar of the browser if that is the ad-
dress you entered into DashBoard. If you cannot navigate to the page
in your web browser, check with your network administrator that the IP
Address and Subnet Mask you entered in DashBoard are valid parame-
ters for your network, since individual settings vary.
Once the page has loaded, you will see a list on the top panel of the
different web applications installed on your card. Click any of these
links to navigate to the page for that application.

A General-Purpose I/O
Each of the 2 GPIO input banks, Bank A and Bank B, has the following
pinout:
7 8
5 6
3 4
1 2
Bank A provides GPI inputs 1-4:
Input Pins
4 (D) 7, 8
3 (C) 5, 6
2 (B) 3, 4
1 (A) 1, 2
Bank B provides GPI inputs 5-8:
Input Pins
8 (H) 7, 8
7 (G) 5, 6
6 (F) 3, 4
5 (E) 1, 2
A GPI input is activated when closed (connected to ground), and inactive
when open (left floating). The even-numbered pin in a given GPI pair is
its ground. For example, GPI input 1 can be activated by connecting pins
1 and 2 of Bank A, thereby grounding pin 1. If pin 1 were left floating,
GPI input A would be inactive.
A GPI output’s pins form a switch that is on when closed and off when
open. For example, pins 3 and 4 of the GPI output bank form a switch
that is closed when GPI output 2 is active, and open when it is inactive.
