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
understanding of the modules.

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
properly may show valid indicators, but does not function correctly.
Note
On power up all LED’s will light for a few
seconds, this is the time it takes to initialise the
card

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 dependent 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
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.

#V-delayA ~ #V-delayD
V-Delay setting allows adjustment of the vertical phase of the
corresponding 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 ~ #H-delayD
The H-Delay setting allows adjustment of the Horizontal phase of the
corresponding 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 for all 4 channels.
The settings of Freeze are On or Off. The default setting is Off.
Lock-Mode

General Dolby
Aligment info:
The Dolby-Aligner aligns all the embedded Dolby-E streams by using
the "Dolby-E Reference Line-Position recommendations" of Dolby.
This means that the aligner re-aligns the Dolby-E stream on stereo-
base within the recommended “ideal line-position” for the different
video-formats, even for extreme E-positions:
25/50Hz frame rates:
1920x1080p50: ideal-position is from line 37-46
1920x1080i50: ideal-position is from line 19-23
1280x720p50 : ideal-position is from line 25-31
30/60Hz frame rates:
1920x1080p60: ideal-position is from line 42-52
1920x1080i60: ideal-position is from line 21-26
1280x720p60 : ideal-position is from line 28-35
The earliest and latest valid position where the start of the Dolby-E
header "must" be positioned for correct behavior is:
1920x1080p50: earliest: line 26, latest: line 105
1920x1080i50: earliest: line 13, latest: line 53
1280x720p50 : earliest: line 17, latest: line 70
1920x1080p60: earliest: line 35, latest: line 95
1920x1080i60: earliest: line 18, latest: line 48
1280x720p60 : earliest: line 23, latest: line 63
The algorithm of the aligner pulls every single embedded Dolby-E
stream within the "ideal line-position" window.
This guarantees correct behavior of all embedded Dolby-streams
when drop/repeat video-frames takes place in the synchronizer, and
correct Dolby-E processing further in the chain.
(the individual Dolby-E streams can be different positioned within the
ideal line-position, this does not affect Dolby-E processing)
DolbyE_Sync_Mode
When DolbyE_Sync_Mode is set to "Off" the Dolby-Aligner is
disabled and the card is in minimum delay-mode. When set to
"Auto", or a pre-selected embedded Dolby-E stream, the Dolby-
Aligner is enabled. A delay of 40ms (25/50Hz) or 33ms (30/60Hz) is
added for processing when the Dolby-Aligner is enabled. This is
shown in the IO-delay status of the video outputs of the card.
DolbyE-Sync-Mode must be used in combination with the P60-
P50_Sync Two Frame setting to align the frame drop or repeat
properly to the Embedded Dolby-E frame. This setting can be Off for
no Dolby-E alignment of the drop or repeat, Ch1/2 to Ch 15/16
to manually select the embedded source for the Dolby-E, or Auto
where the card will look for the first embedded channels providing
Dolby-E.

DolbySOF_Offset
This setting changes the "ideal line-position" from its default window
to more "early or "late". Default it is set to 0. The offset-range is
selectable between -13 and +13, the step-size is in audio-samples.
Delay-Status
It is possible to display (in the status menu IODelayA and
IODelayB) 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
Inp_Align_Status
It is possible to display (in the status menu Inp_Align_SDI1_2,
Inp_Align_SDI1_3 and Inp_Align_SDI1_4) the input
alignment in the status menu. This setting allows you to switch this
function On or Off. Default setting is Off.
SwitchLn_Status
It is possible to display (in the status menu SwitchLnA up to and
including SwitchLnD) the switch line of the input in the status
menu. This setting allows you to switch this function On or Off.
Default setting is Off.
OSD-Style
The OSD-Style setting controls the on screen text when there is no
input. The settings of OSD-Style are Off, Transp, Blink-
Transp, Masked, Blink-Masked. The Masked setting inserts a
black background behind the on screen text. Default setting is Off.
PatternSpeed
Sets the speed of the test-pattern (see settings Inp_SelA and
Inp_SelB) animation between 0 (still) and 15 (fast). Default 1.
Input_Loss_A
Here you can set what the output of channel A should be when the
input is lost. Can be Freeze, Colorbar, Zoneplate, Black,
Grey or Green.
QSB17-32
Quadspeed bus selection for channels 17 till 32. When set to SDI-2
the audio channels from SDI input 2 are routed to the quad speed
audio bus on channels 17 till 32. When set to Dolby the audio
signals out of the dolby CAT1100 board are routed to the quad speed
audio bus on channels 17 till 32.

EMBEDDER
Audio-Phase A
If this setting is set to Align, the card ensures audio-phase alignment
between multiple audio channels and audio groups, which is
necessary for multi-channel (surround) purposes. If errors in the
signal-chain occur the de-embedder blocks reset synchronously to
maintain audio-phase-alignment.
If this setting is set to Off, the card eats-all audio including errors.
Even if there are DBN/ANC/ECC or channel-sequence errors, the de-
embedder will pass them. Be aware that audio-phase-alignment
between multiple audio channels and audio groups cannot be
maintained if this setting is set to Off.
Note: This setting can be helpful to solve problems in the field using
equipment which doesn’t follow the standards correctly.
