1 Introduction to Synapse
An Introduction
to Synapse
Synapse is a modular system designed for the broadcast industry. High
density, intuitive operation and high quality processing are key features
of this system. Synapse offers a full range of converters and processing
modules. Please visit the EVS Broadcast Equipment SA Website at
http://www.evs.com to obtain the latest information on our new
products and updates.
Local Control
Panel
The local control panel gives access to all adjustable parameters and
provides status information for any of the cards in the Synapse frame,
including the Synapse rack controller. The local control panel is also
used to back-up and restore card settings. Please refer to the rack
controller manuals for a detailed description of the local control panel,
the way to set-up remote control over IP and for frame related settings
and status information.
Remote Control
Capabilities
The remote control options are explained in the rack controller (RRC,
RRS, ERC or ERS) manual. The method of connecting to a computer
using Ethernet is also described in these manuals.
! CHECK-OUT: “EVS CORTEX” SOFTWARE WILL
INCREASE SYSTEM FLEXIBILITY OF ONE OR MORE
SYNAPSE FRAMES
Although not required to use Cortex with a Synapse frame, you are
strongly advised to use a remote personal computer or laptop PC with
EVS Cortex installed, as this increases the ease of use and
understandin
g
of the modules.

2 Unpacking and Placement
Unpacking The EVS Synapse card must be unpacked in an anti-static environment.
Care must be taken NOT to touch components on the card – always
handle the card carefully by the edges. The card must be stored and
shipped in anti-static packaging. Ensuring that these precautions are
followed will prevent premature failure from components mounted on
the board.
Placing the card The Synapse card can be placed vertically in an SFR18 frame or
horizontally in an SFR04, SFR08 and SFR Mobile frame. Locate the
two guide slots to be used, slide in the mounted circuit board, and push
it firmly to locate the connectors.
Correct insertion of card is essential as a card that is not located

EVS Cortex
Software
Synapse Cortex can be used to change the settings of Synapse modules
from a PC, either locally or remotely. The software enables
communication based on TCP/IP between the Setup PC and Synapse
frames/modules.
Each Synapse frame is addressed through its rack controller’s unique IP
address, giving access to each module, its menus and adjustment items.
EVS Cortex has access to data contained within the Synapse module
and displays it on a GUI. The software has an intuitive structure
following that of the module that it is controlling.
For operation of EVS Cortex, please refer to the Cortex help files.

4 The GX400/GXG410 Card
Introduction The GXG400/410 is a high end up/down/cross converter. Based on
EVS's Motion Optimized Quality De-interlacer (MOQD), and
extensively computer optimized scaling and filter algorithms the new
400 series of up/down/cross converters ensure the absolute best quality
video conversion from any standard to any standard within the same
framerate. The card allows you to simulcast any output standard in any
format from any source standard.
The embedded audio is carried over to the SD, HD or 3Gb/s domain.
The appropriate aspect ratio can be applied by control of VI, WSS and
GPI inputs by use of 16 presets per output that can store the aspect
ratio conversions.
Beside a high quality up/down/cross converter, these cards also have
very powerful audio shufflers and proc-amps (410 only). Any of the 64
audio source channels (16 from SDI 1, and 32 from the quad speed
audio bus) can be routed to any of the 48 output channels (16 to SDI
output 1 and 32 to the quad speed audio bus)

Important
notice about
closed captions
Historically, closed captions were transmitted in NTSC line 21 according to EIA-
CEA-608-B (bit rate 960b/s). This allowed two caption data bytes per field to be
transmitted. With the introduction of HD and 3Gb/s the new EIA-708-B Closed
Caption standard was created, which sends closed caption data in DTVCC packets.
This allows sending more data per field (bit rate 9600b/s) for extended language,
color support, PMT and EIT and timecode data.
Besides the new DTVCC packets, the EIA-708-B caption stream may also include
EIA-CEA-608-B data bytes which are stored as NTSC compatibility bytes for
compatibility with old decoders.
EIA-CEA-608-B Transparency
This card is fully transparent to EIA-CEA-608-B caption streams.
EIA-CEA-608-B to EIA-708-B Translation
For EIA-CEA-608-B to EIA-708-B translation, the EIA-CEA-608-B bytes will be
mapped on-one-on to the NTSC compatibility bytes. Furthermore, the EIA-CEA-608-
B bytes will be remapped to DTVCC packets.
EIA-708-B to EIA-CEA-608-B Translations
There are EIA-708-B DTVCC captions which are not translatable to EIA-CEA-608-
B. Therefore the NTSC compatibility bytes will be used for EIA-708-B to EIA-CEA-
608-B translation. So the DTVCC packets from the input will be ignored.
EIA-708-B Transparency
This card is not fully transparent to EIA-708-B caption streams. The NTSC
compatibility bytes are transparent, but the DTVCC packets are regenerated from the
NTSC compatibility bytes. So the DTVCC packets from the input will be ignored.
Note for EIA-708-B DTVCC output caption data:
Only supports EIA-CEA-608-B translation of the primary language (CC1). So CC2
to CC4, T1 to T4 and XDS translations are not supported.

currently active preset is the same you are going to edit. All menu
settings that are preceded with a ‘#‘-prefix under the ‘SYSTEM
SETTINGS’ header are part of the preset.
PrstEditView With this setting set to Follow Active, the edit preset settings (like
for instance UP_Prst_editA and UP_Prst_editB) will follow
the active preset when the active preset is changed. This to avoid
confusion when changing the active. Set to Independent the edit
preset will not automatically follow active preset changes. By default
set to Follow Active.

#V-delayA V-Delay setting allows adjustment of the vertical phase of the output
signal with respect to the selected reference input.
The V-Delay setting gives a delay in addition to the reference timing.
For example: if the V-Delay is set to 10 TV HD lines, the output
signal will be delayed by reference timing + 10 TV HD lines. The
signal is delayed (advanced) with respect to the phase of the reference
signal. The available range is from 0 to a maximum of 1124 lines
(dependant on I/O format). The default setting is 0ln. The preset
master for this is Out-Frmt, hence the ‘#’-prefix.
#H-delayA The H-Delay setting allows adjustment of the Horizontal phase of the
output signal with respect to the selected reference input.
The H-Delay setting gives a delay in addition to the reference timing.
For example: if the H-Delay is set to 10 pixels, the output signal will be
delayed by reference timing + 10 pixels. The signal is delayed
(advanced) with respect to the phase of the reference signal. The
available range is from 0 to a maximum of 5124 pixels (dependant on
I/O format). The default setting is 0px. The preset master for this is
Out-Frmt, hence the ‘#’-prefix.
#Freeze_A Freeze enables the capture of one Video Frame. The settings of
Freeze are On or Off. The default setting is Off.
#HD_SD_LPF_A ~
#K4_down_LPF_A
Here you can set the horizontal and vertical video low-pass filter for
channel A. There is a separate lowpass filter settings for 4K
downconvert mode (#K4_down_LPF_A). These are the possible
settings:
■Off: the normal broadband filters will be used when the card is
converting. A 64 taps brick wall type horizontal filter:

■H_only: a less steep filter with no aliasing Y and soft for C for
less ringing effects:
■V_only: vertical filters will be active which “soften” the image
and prevents “ring”-effects in down converted content.
■H_And_V: same horizontal filter as described under H_Only will
be active, together with the vertical filters described under
V_only.
■H2_Only: less steep filter with aliasing and soft for C for less
ringing, more sharpness but with aliasing:
■H2_And_V: same horizontal filter as described under H2_Only
will be active, together with the vertical filters described under
V_only.
