Getting Started
Packaging
The shipping carton and packaging materials
provide protection for the module during transit.
Please retain the shipping cartons in case
subsequent shipping of the product becomes
necessary.
Product Description
The P VD 5010 B is a high quality frame / line
synchronizer designed primarily for broadcast and
professional applications.
The two available SDI inputs can be synchronized
to external sync with an additional video delay of
up to a maximum of 6 frames adjustable in 37ns
increments. Minimum delay in Framesynch mode is
1 Frame, in Linesynch mode less than 1 µs. SDI
Inputs can be switched into the processor
seamlessly, also via a GPI. A separate delay output
is provided for external audio delay processing.
From both SDI inputs 2 AES audio groups can be
extracted, separately processed and embedded
again to avoid audio clicks due to the video frame
synchronization.
In addition 2 external AES inputs and outputs are
provided and can be processed and embedded
into the SDI output signal
The P VD 5010 B features a wide range of available
adjustments (via optional Rack Controller). Basic
adjustments are possible using the local multi-
function switch and integrated display.
CardModules are installed in the series 5000 card
frame that can accommodate up to 10
CardModules. All modules are hot swappable and
Options include full redundant power and a range
of controller options.

Functional Diagram
Figure 1 below is the basic functional diagram for
the P VD 5010 CardModule. The audio path is
shown in detail as separate diagram.

Connections
Video/Audio Connections
The P VD 5010 B CardModule is configured with
standard 75 Ohm BNC connectors. Connection is
self-explanatory. We recommend the use of high
quality cables for digital video and audio
connections to reduce the risk of interference or
errors due to excessive cable attenuation. Some
guidelines for max cable length are shown below.
250m (820 feet) Belden 8281 (270Mbits/s)
Note. Due to the compact design of the
connection plate it will be necessary to use a
connection tool to secure the BNC video
connectors.

Reference Manual P VD 5010 B Version 1.1

GPI
There is a GPI (General Purpose Input) on the P VD
5010 CardModule. Connection is made through a
BNC connector.
With the GPI connection either the inputs can be
switched or the P VD 5010 can be switched to
FREEZE mode.
Switching the inputs with the GPI:
If there is no connection (OPEN/HIGH) between
signal input and GND, IN1 is selected. If signal input
is connected to GND (CLOSED/LOW), IN2 is
selected.
Switching to Freeze mode:
If there is no connection (OPEN/HIGH) between
signal input and GND, the P VD 5010 is in normal
operation. If signal input is connected to GND
(CLOSED/LOW), the P VD 5010 will switch to FREEZE.

Reference Manual P VD 5010 B Version 1.1

Audio Delay Pulse
The Audio Delay Pulse is connected through a BNC
connector with TTL levels and needs 75 Ohm
termination.
Min. Delay in Frame Synch Mode is 1 Frame
Min. Delay in Line Synch Mode is < 1µs
Audio Delay – synchronous mode
When the frame sync is used in normal
asynchronous mode it is possible for the frame sync
to drop or add frames to keep in sync (which is
normal). Under these circumstances simply
dropping frames of audio would result in audible
clicks and pops. We overcome this by loosely
tracking the audio to the video within an audio
delay window of +/- 0.5 frame with respect to
video.
If you have a synchronous input to the frame sync,
then there is a new mode to switch the frame sync
into a audio / video delay line function [expert tab,
selection "synchronous"] In this mode the +/- 0.5
frame window is removed and the audio is
perfectly in time with the video.

Installation
Caution
The CardModule is shipped in a
protective anti-static bag. Please take
suitable precautions to avoid static
discharge onto any part of the PCB or
components when handling module or
serious damage could result.
Each Card Module is supplied with a rear
connection panel and two mounting screws.
Please follow the following procedure for
installation of the card module into the Series 5000
Card Frame.
a) Select a slot in the card frame where the
CardModule will be located
b) Remove the blank connection panel from the
rear of the rack (if fitted)
c) Install the rear connection panel using the
screws supplied. Do not tighten the screws fully
d) Slide the card module into the card frame and
carefully check the CardModule easily
connects to the rear connection plate. The
card should fit easily and should not require
excessive force to insert, if you feel any
resistance, there could be something wrong
with the rear connection panel location. Do not
try and force the connection. Remove the rear
connection panel and check alignment with
the CardModule.
e) Insert and remove the CardModule a few times
to ensure correct alignment and then tighten
the two screws to secure the rear connection
plate

Settings and Control
The P VD 5010 B has an integrated micro-controller,
which enables the module to be configured and
controlled locally using the multifunction switch and
4 character dot matrix display, or from remote
when using one of the optional controllers and
control software.
Once set, all settings are automatically saved in
non-volatile internal memory. (Flash ram) The
module will always recall the settings used prior to
power down.

Multi Function Switch
The CardModule is equipped with a multi-function
switch located on the front bottom edge of the
card (refer to figure 3)

Using the Local Display Menus
Making local adjustments to the module is done
using the multifunction switch and the integrated 4-
character dot matrix display (figure 3). The menu
system is layered, and navigation through the
system is done using the UP and DOWN functions of
the switch. ENTER is used to move between menu
levels and also enter a selection.
Navigation
Menu Structure
The Menu structure is defined in the next table, and
should be used when navigating through the
system.
Notes / Tips.
ENTER moves between Levels
UP/DOWN moves between items within the level
When you enter a new setting the system will jump
back one level in the menu system.
•The “back” selection in the menu structure will
take you back one level when selected.
•When an item is selected which has several
setting possibilities the first value displayed will be
the value currently stored in the system. The
order of the available settings for any menu item
in the table supplied does not represent the
order he settings will actually be displayed.
•If left unattended, the menu will default to the
root display after a preset timeout.
Switch Function Operation
UP Move UP within a level
DOWN Move down within a level
ENTER Change levels / Make selection
