1. OVERVIEW
1.1. OVERVIEW
The Evertz 9625LG Series Logo Inserters and 9625LGA Series Media Keyers provide a complete
range of HD and SDI Logo and Audio Insertion solutions for the digital television plant. The Logo
Inserters will key 1 to 16 simultaneous static or animated logos over a full bandwidth program video
signal. These units incorporate the best switching technology with the proven channel branding
techniques that has brought Evertz to the forefront of digital television technology. Add to this, time
and temperature logos, and optional Emergency Alert System support, and you have the most
advanced Logo Inserters available today. The Media Keyers provide all the features of the Logo
Inserters plus the capability of inserting audio voiceovers from external audio or by playing stored
audio clips. Audio Clips can be played on their own or played automatically when associated logos
are keyed.
The 9625LG Series Keyers are available in versions to support both standard definition and high
definition video. Throughout this manual the term 9625LG Series Keyers will be used to describe the
common features of these keyers. The term 9625LG Logo Inserters will be used to describe the
common features of the Logo Inserters and the term 9625LGA Media Keyers will be used to describe
the common features of the Media Keyers. When necessary, the specific model numbers will be used
to distinguish features available only on one model.

There are two versions of the HD9625LG hardware with slightly different feature sets. These early
versions were not fitted with a REF IN video reference input or COM port D. These units operate in
the same way as the later units except where noted in the manual. Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2 show
the functional differences between these units.
The 9625LG Series Keyers have been designed to manage and store multiple media objects. Logos
and audio clips are stored in non-volatile Flash memory and may be downloaded to the hardware via
Ethernet FTP using the Nomad™ or Overture™ software (included). One animated logo, or up to 16
static logos, can be keyed simultaneously with independent fade control for each static logo. EAS
enabled units have 1 logo reserved for the “crawl” text, thus leaving a maximum of 15 simultaneous
logos. The size of each logo is variable and ranges from 1/25th to full screen. The position of the logo,
fade rates, clip association and animation rates are also user controllable. The onboard preview
allows you to cue your logos for position and content verification prior to going "On Air". On the
9625LGA and HD9625LGA Media Keyers, audio clips are stored as stereo or mono 16-bit, 48kHz
WAV format.

1.2. HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
This manual is organised into 6 chapters: Overview, Installation, Front Panel Operation, Desktop
Remote Panel Operation, Optional EAS Features, and Technical Description. The overview section
contains a brief overview of the 9625LG Series Keyers operation and features and a glossary to define
concepts and terms used throughout the remainder of the manual. We highly recommend taking the
time to become familiar with the terms and concepts described here before proceeding into the rest of
the manual.
Chapter 2 provides a detailed description of the rear panel connectors, and how the 9625LG Series
Keyers should be connected into your system.
Chapter 3 shows how to operate the 9625LG Series Keyers using the Front panel controls or
Rackmount Remote Control Panel. This chapter also includes information on the Setup Menu system
and HTML setup page.

OVERVIEW Revision 4.2 Page 1-5
Chapter 4 shows how to control the 9625LG Series Keyers using the Desktop Remote Control panels.
Chapter 5 describes how to set up the 9625LG Series Keyers for use with an EAS decoder (EAS option
required).
Chapter 6 provides technical information such as the specifications and how to update the firmware in
the 9625LG Series Keyers.

1.3. DEFINITIONS
4:2:2 The sampling ratio used in the HDTV digital video signal. For every 4 samples of luminance
there are 2 samples each of R-Y (Red minus Luminance) and B-Y (Blue minus luminance).
16x9 A wide screen television format such as HDTV in which the aspect ratio of the screen is 16
units wide by 9 high as opposed to the 4x3 of normal TV.
AES/EBU:(Sometimes abbreviated as AES) Refers to the digital audio standard (AES3-1992) set by
the Audio Engineering Society and European Broadcast Union and used by most forms of
digital audio from CDs to professional digital video.
Aspect Ratio:The ratio of width to height in a picture. Theatre screens generally have an aspect ratio
of 1.85 to 1, widescreen TV (16x9) is 1.77 to 1, and normal TV (4x3) is 1.33 to 1.
CCIR (International Radio Consultative Committee): An international standards committee. (This
organisation is now known as ITU.)
CCIR-601:See ITU-R601.
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 when 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 unrecognisable.
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 ITU-R709 for HDTV signals. SMPTE 274M
and SMPTE 296M specify the parallel interface.

Page 1-6 Revision 4.2 OVERVIEW
Composite analog: An encoded video signal such as NTSC or PAL video that includes horizontal
and vertical synchronising information.
Composite digital: A digitally encoded video signal, such as NTSC or PAL video that includes
horizontal and vertical synchronising information.
D1: A component digital video recording format that uses data conforming to the ITU-R601
standard. Records on 19 mm magnetic tape. (Often used incorrectly to refer to component
digital video.)
D2: A composite digital video recording format that uses data conforming to SMPTE 244M.
Records on 19 mm magnetic tape. (Often used incorrectly to refer to composite digital
video.)
D3: A composite digital video recording format that uses data conforming to SMPTE 244M.
Records on 1/2" magnetic tape.
D5: A component digital video recording format that uses data conforming to the ITU-R601
standard. Records on 1/2" magnetic tape.
Drop frame: In NTSC systems, where the frame rate is 29.97002618 frames per second, the drop
frame mode permits time of day indexing of the frame numbers by dropping certain frame
numbers. Specifically, frames 0 and 1 at the beginning of each minute except minutes
0,10,20,30,40, & 50, are omitted, to compensate for an approximate timing error of 108
frames (3 seconds 18 frames) per hour. A flag bit is set in the time code to signal when the
drop frame mode is in effect.
EBU (European Broadcasting Union): An organisation of European broadcasters that among
other activities provides technical recommendations for the 625/50 line television systems.
Embedded audio: Digital audio is multiplexed onto a serial digital video data stream.
ITU: The United Nations regulatory body governing all forms of communications. ITU-R
(previously CCIR) regulates the radio frequency spectrum, while ITU-T (previously CCITT)
deals with the telecommunication standards.
ITU-R601: An international standard for standard definition component digital television from which was
derived SMPTE 125M and EBU 3246-E standards. ITU-R601 defines the sampling
systems, matrix values and filter characteristics for both Y, B-Y, R-Y and RGB component
digital television signals.
Letterbox:Placing a wide screen image on a conventional TV by placing black bands at the top and
bottom of the screen.
Linear time code: (Also known as Longitudinal Time Code) A digital code used for timing and
control purposes on videotape and associated audio tape machines. It is recorded on a
linear track with audio characteristics and is referred to as LTC. Each 80-bit code word is
associated with one television frame, and consists of 26 time bits, 6 flag bits, 32 user bits
and 16 sync bits. This time code may run at 24, 25 or 30 frames per second depending on
the video format. See also SMPTE 12M.
