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 RRC,
ERC, RRS or ERS manuals for a detailed description of the local
control panel, the way to set-up remote control over IP and for frame
related settin
g
s 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
usin
g
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 and SFR08 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

3 A Quick Start
When Powering-up On powering up the Synapse frame, the card set will use basic data
and default initialisation settings. All LED’s will light during this
process. After initialisation, several LED’s will remain lit – the exact
number and configuration is dependant upon the number of inputs
connected and the status of the inputs.
Changing settings
and parameters The front panel controls or the Synapse Cortex can be used to change
settings. An overview of the settings can be found in chapter 5, 6 and
7 of this manual.

EVS Cortex Software EVS 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.

Important notice Historically, closed captions were transmitted in NTSC line 21
according to EIA-608. This allows two caption data bytes per field to
be transmitted. With the introduction of HD and DTV a new Closed
Caption specification was made, EIA-708. This allows sending more
data per field, for extended language, color support, PMT and EIT and
timecode data.
The new DTV caption format cannot be translated back to EIA-608.
However the EIA-708 may include EIA-608 data as "NTSC closed
captions" for compatibility with old decoders.
This card only de-embeds the NTSC closed captions, not the DTV
closed captions. It will not function with a DTV-only 708 closed
caption source.

5 Settings Menu
Introduction The settings menu displays the current state of each HXT150 setting
and allows you to change or adjust it. Settings can be changed using
the front panel of the Synapse frame (SFR18, SFR08 or SFR04) or
with Cortex. Also the SCP08 control can be used. Please refer to
chapter 3 for information on the Synapse front panel control and
Cortex.
Note: All items preceded with a #-si
g
n are p
a
rt of the presets.
SYSTEM SETTINGS
IO-Ctrl This card has separate presets for the input and output settings under
the ‘SYSTEM SETTINGS’ header. With this item you select how
the IO presets are controlled: Manually (manual) or via GPI-
triggers (GPI, GPI-A,GPI-B or GPI-C). By default it is set to
Manual.
IO_Prst_Act With this item you can manually change the currently active IO
settings. Can be any preset between 1 and 8. By default it is set to 1.
All menu settings that are preceded with a ‘#‘-prefix under the
‘SYSTEM SETTINGS’ header are part of the preset.
IO_Prst_Edit Here you can select which of the 8 selectable IO settings presets you
want to edit. Changing this will not change the active preset, unless
the 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.
#Inp_Sel With this item you can select which input you want to use. Can be
SDI-1 (SDI input 1) or SDI-2 (SDI input 2). You can also choose
a Zoneplate or Colorbar as input. Set to auto will
automatically detect which SDI input holds a valid input. If both
inputs have a correct input, SDI-1 will be chosen. The default for
this setting is SDI-1.

#Out-FrmtA With Out-FrmtA you can set what the output should be for
outputs A1 and A2. Possible settings are:
1080i60 (default), 1080i50
1080p24
1080psf24
720p60, 720p50
SD525, SD625
#F-delayA F-DelayA sets the amount of delayed Frames for outputs A1 and
A2. The available range is from 0 to 250 fields (dependant on the
I/O). Default is 0F.
#V-delayA V-DelayA setting allows adjustment of the vertical phase of the
output signal for outputs A1 and A2 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
1125 lines (dependant on I/O format). The default setting is 0ln.
#H-delayA The H-DelayA setting allows adjustment of the Horizontal phase
of the output signal for outputs A1 and A2 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.
#Out-FrmtB With Out-FrmtB you can set what the output should be for
outputs B1 and B2. Possible settings are:
1080i60 (default), 1080i50
1080p24
1080psf24
720p60, 720p50
SD525, SD625

#F-delayB F-DelayB sets the amount of delayed Frames for outputs B1 and
B2. The available range is from 0 to 250 fields (dependant on the
I/O). Default is 0F.
#V-delayB V-DelayB setting allows adjustment of the vertical phase of the
output signal for outputs B1 and B2 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
1125 lines (dependant on I/O format). The default setting is 0ln.
#H-delayA The H-DelayB setting allows adjustment of the Horizontal phase
of the output signal for outputs A1 and A2 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.
#LowPassFiltA Here you can set the horizontal and vertical video low-pass filter for
channel 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.
This setting is only for channel A. Default is off.

all following packets. First is default for this setting.
Delay-Status It is possible to display (in the status menu IODelay) the
processing time of the card in the status menu. This setting allows
you to switch this function ON or OFF. Default setting is OFF
Lock-Mode Lock-Mode determines whether the card is locked to his input
(input 1), to the reference (Ref1 or Ref2) or freerun (not
locked). By default it is set to Ref1. Can also be set to RefAuto.
When set to RefAuto the card chooses ref1 as its source.
Whenever ref1 fails, it will switch to ref 2 (only for SFR08 and
SFR18 frames and only when ref2 offers the same ref format as ref
1). When ref 1 is back up again, it will only automatically switch
b
ack to ref 1 when ref 2 fails.
Ref-Type Sets the type of incoming reference. Can be either Bi-Level or Tri-
Level. Default is Bi-Level.
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.
PatternSpeed Sets the speed of the test-pattern (see settings Inp_SelA and
Inp_SelB) animation between 0 (still) and 15 (fast). Default is 1.
SD-AR-Det This card can switch between presets on the changes of the aspect
ratio. Aspect ratio information can be taken out of the VI (video
index), WSS (widescreen signaling) or WSS-extended (extended
form of widescreen signaling). With this setting you can select
which of the above protocols should be used to detect aspect ratio
changes. By default, it is set to VI.
NoWSS/VI_prstA With this setting you can set to which preset the card should jump
outputs A1 and A2, when no WSS or VI information is found. Can
be any preset between 1and 16 or Hold (holds current active
preset). By default it is set to Hold.
