Model 8010-SIE Digital Source ID Encoder Manual
OVERVIEW Revision 2.2 Page 1-1
1. OVERVIEW
The 8010-SIE series Source ID Encoders provide a cost-effective method of keying timecode, source
ID and machine status information into the digital video. The 8010-SIE uses Digital VITC (D-VITC) to
encode the source ID information into the video. The 8010-SIE series VITC generator’s lines can be
easily programmed from the front panel. The model 8010-SIE also contains a high speed reader for
Linear Time Code (LTC) and Vertical Interval Time code (VITC) reader, and contains a high resolution
character Inserter which can insert onto the program output as well as an optional analog monitoring
output. The 8010-SIE is available in two versions.
The basic 8010-SIE operates in one of four modes. In VTR mode, it is designed to listen to
communications between a VTR and its controller, and take time code and machine status. In LVS
mode, the 8010-SIE is designed to interface to a Profile Disk recorder running the LVS software. The
serial port of the LVS device sends recorder status, scene and control information to the 8010-SIE. In
RDR mode, the 8010-SIE takes time from its LTC or VITC reader and in GEN mode it allows the user
to preset a time into the time code generator. In all modes, the source ID name is programmed from
the front panel of the 8010-SIE and encoded into the user bits.
The model 8010-SIE-GPS II Source ID Encoder interfaces to a GPS receiver, allowing the generator
time to be precisely synchronized to a world wide time standard known as the Global Positioning
system. The 8010-SIE-GPS II is supplied with a Trimble ACCUTIME 2000 GPS Smart Antenna that
houses the GPS receiver, antenna, power supply and other support circuitry in a sealed, shielded, self-
contained unit with a digital interface to the 8010-SIE-GPS II. When the 8010-SIE-GPS II is operated in
the GPS SID mode, the generator is synchronized to the GPS time reference being received from the
smart antenna. When the GPS based time is within 0.5 seconds of the 8010-SIE-GPS II’s UTC time
clock, the generator will continue to increment normally. If for any reason the offset between the 8010-
SIE-GPS II’s UTC time clock and the GPS based time is greater than 0.5 seconds; the generator will
resynchronize to the GPS based time. In addition, the 8010-SIE-GPS II can be set to resynchronize
once per day at a user specified time, or on demand so that the optimal time accuracy is continuously
maintained, at the same time minimizing the potential for code disturbances during resynchronization.
The 8010’s UTC time clock will normally be within +/- 1 colour frame of the GPS based time. A manual
TIME SID mode operates the same as the GPS SID mode, except that UTC time clock and date may
be set from the front panel. This mode is useful where a GPS time reference is not available. A RDR
SID mode allows the time to be jam synced to incoming LTC or VITC time and is used when encoding
Source ID from a VTR output. In all modes, the source ID name is programmed from the front panel of
the 8010-SIE and encoded into the user bits.
The high resolution character inserter provides independently positionable windows to show time,
source ID, status, LVS info and control information on both the program output and the analog monitor
output. The characters on the program output can be turned off by using the ON AIR tally on the
parallel remote control connector. Three character sizes and the choice of white or black characters
with or without contrasting background mask are selected from the front panel.

1.1. THE GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM – OVERVIEW
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite based navigation system operated and maintained
by the U.S. Department of Defense. When fully implemented, the GPS will consist of 24 satellites
providing worldwide 24 hour, coverage. Originally conceived for military needs, the GPS has a broad
array of civilian applications including timing, surveying, marine, land aviation and vehicle navigation.
GPS, the most accurate technology available for marine and land navigation is emerging as the
technology of choice in timing applications including site and network synchronization.
As a satellite system, the GPS is immune from the limitations of land based systems previously
available. By computing the distance to GPS satellites orbiting the earth, a GPS receiver can calculate
an accurate position. This process is called satellite ranging. A two-dimensional position calculation
requires three satellite ranges. A three-dimensional position calculation, including altitude requires four
satellite ranges. GPS receivers can also provide precise time, speed, and course measurements.

OVERVIEW Revision 2.2 Page 1-4
CLIFF EFFECT: (also referred to as the ‘digital cliff’) This is a phenomenon found in digital
video systems that describes the sudden deterioration of picture quality due to excessive bit
errors, often caused by excessive cable lengths. The digital signal will be perfect even
though one of its signal parameters is approaching or passing the specified limits. At a
given moment however, the parameter will reach a point where the data can no longer be
interpreted correctly, and the picture will be totally unrecognizable.
COMPONENT ANALOG:The non-encoded output of a camera, video tape recorder, etc., consisting of
the three primary colour signals: red, green, and blue (RGB) that together convey all
necessary picture information. In some component video formats these three components
have been translated into a luminance signal and two colour difference signals, for example
Y, B-Y, R-Y.
COMPONENT DIGITAL: A digital representation of a component analog signal set, most often Y, B-Y,
R-Y. The encoding parameters are specified by CCIR-601. CCIR-656 and SMPTE 125M
specify the parallel interface.
COMPOSITE ANALOG: An encoded video signal such as NTSC or PAL video, that includes
horizontal and vertical synchronizing information.
COMPOSITE DIGITAL: A digitally encoded video signal, such as NTSC or PAL video that includes
horizontal and vertical synchronizing information.
D1: A component digital video recording format that uses data conforming to the CCIR-601
standard. Records on 19 mm magnetic tape. (Often used incorrectly to refer to component
digital video.)

other activities provides technical recommendations for the 625/50 line television systems.
EBU TECH 3267-E: The EBU recommendation for the parallel interface of 625 line digital video
signal. This is a revision of the earlier EBU Tech 3246-E standard, which was in turn
derived from CCIR-601.
EDH Error Detection and Handling (EDH) is defined in SMPTE RP-165 as a method of
determining when bit errors have occurred along the digital video path. According to
RP-165, two error detection checkwords are used, one for active picture samples, and the
other on a full field of samples. Three sets of flags are used to convey information regarding
detected errors, to facilitate identification of faulty equipment or cabling. One set of flags is
associated with each checkword, and the third is used to evaluate ancillary data integrity.
The checkwords and flags are combined into a special error detection data packet that is
included as ancillary data in the serial digital signal.
EMBEDDED AUDIO: Digital audio is multiplexed onto a serial digital video data stream.

SERIAL DIGITAL: Digital information that is transmitted in serial form. Often used informally to
refer to serial digital television signals.
SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers): A professional organization that
recommends standards for the film and television industries.
SMPTE 125M: The SMPTE standard for bit parallel digital interface for component video
signals. SMPTE 125M defines the parameters required to generate and distribute
component video signals on a parallel interface.
SMPTE 259M: The SMPTE standard for 525 line serial digital component and composite
interfaces.
TRS: Timing reference signals used in composite digital systems. (It is four words long).
TRS-ID: Abbreviation for "Timing Reference Signal Identification". A reference signal used to
maintain timing in composite digital systems. (It is four words long.)
4:2:2: A commonly used term for a component digital video format. The details of the format are
specified in the CCIR-601 standard. The numerals 4:2:2 denote the ratio of the sampling
frequencies of the luminance channel to the two colour difference channels. For every four
luminance samples, there are two samples of each colour difference channel.
