Product Description
The P VD 5660 FLEXCARD is a high performance dual channel SD/HD frame
synchronizer with full embedded and external AES audio support. Basic functionality is a
single channel mutliformat frame synchronizer and SDTV ARC.
Firmware options provide the ability to easily add additional options which includes:
•Second Input
(option code OC-5660-SCND)
•2 Channels of Basic Down Conversion (option code OC-5660-DWN)
•Single channel of HQ UP/DOWN/CROSS conversion (option code OC-5660-UPXD)
•Stored module presets with GPI recall (option code OC-5660-USET)
•Metadata Option (AFD/Closed Captions/Timecode) (option code OC-5660-META)
Firmware options can be added at any time with a license code. No hardware or
Firmware modifications are required.
Input Video Formats
The module has two multi-format serial digital inputs (second input is optional) with
automatic input detection. The module will detect the following input standards and
configure the input stage automatically for operation in the connected format.
SDTV Formats HDTV Formats
525 / 59.94Hz 1080i / 59.94Hz
625 / 50Hz 1080i / 60Hz
1080i / 50Hz
720P / 59.94Hz
720P / 60Hz
720P / 50Hz
Note. As the synchronizer uses a single studio reference input both input signals should
be the same input frequency (frame rate) as the reference for normal operation. (Formats
can be different but the frame rate must match for example:
Input 1 = 1080i/59.94Hz and Input 2 = 525 59.94Hz with a 59.94Hz reference is valid.
Input 1 = 1080i/59.94Hz and Input 2 = 720P/50Hz with a 59.94Hz input is not valid and
input 2 will have a disturbed or corrupted output signal.
Output Video Formats
The module provides eight SDI outputs, user assignable in four sets of two outputs; these
sets can be mapped independently to any of the two input channels. Supported output
video formats are:
SDTV Formats HDTV Formats
525 / 59.94Hz 1080i / 59.94Hz
625 / 50Hz 1080i / 60Hz
1080i / 50Hz
720P / 59.94Hz
720P / 60Hz
720P / 50Hz

P VD 5660 Reference Manual. Rev 1.3
Page 9 of 50
The output format frequency (or frame rate) is determined by the connected reference
signal and the output will remain fixed to this reference regardless of the connected input
signals.
For input signals mismatched to the connected reference frame rate, the synchronizer will
show this as an “async” source (indicated by a yellow status indication in the GUI) and
any output signal derived from this “async” source will show video disturbances.
For down conversion or HQ up / down / cross conversion additional firmware options are
required. Without these options installed the frame synchronizer passes the video in the
connected input format. (SDTV Aspect Ratio Conversion functionality is included as part
of the basic module).

Input Reference Signal
The module has a very flexible input reference stage which facilitates the use of either
SDTV analog bi-phase sync (i.e. black burst) or HDTV analog tri-level sync. The
reference input is “cross lock” compatible so a SDTV reference can be used to frequency
lock HDTV signals (and visa versa). The connected reference is auto detected and the
synchronizer automatically configures the outputs to the frame rate of the connected
reference signal.
Supported reference signals are shown below.
SDTV Analog Bi-Level Sync HDTV Analog Tri-Level Sync
525 / 59.94Hz 1080i / 59.94Hz
625 / 50Hz 1080i / 60Hz
1080i / 50Hz
720P / 59.94Hz
720P / 60Hz
720P / 50Hz
Frame Synchronization
Two independent frame synchronizers are provided, one for each input channel. (Second
input is optional). The algorithms used are extremely robust and very tolerant of poor
input signals. The Synchronizers use “Flywheel” functionality. This allows the module to

P VD 5660 Reference Manual. Rev 1.3
Page 10 of 50
recover from any missing sync pulses on the input signals by predicting where they
should be and then re-inserting them.
Audio Processing
The module will de-embed the complete audio payload from each incoming SDI stream
(4 AES groups = 8 AES = 16 audio channels). Audio is de-embedded from both input SDI
signals passed to an AES audio input matrix along with 4 External AES inputs.
The AES input matrix has 20 selectable input channels. There are 4 separate audio
pathways through the frame synchronizer, each one selected according to the application
and requirements for audio processing. Any of the 20 AES channels can be mapped into
any of the 4 internal audio pathways.
The audio streams can be individually delayed in various zones (see GUI section).
Pathway 1
This audio pathway is scaled 8 AES wide (16 channel). The audio is fed through
selectable sample rate converters (SRC’s) where the audio is re-sampled, synchronized
and then fed into full a full audio processing stage, which includes mono gain adjust,
mute, phase inversion, silence and overload detection
Audio using this pathway will be free from any audio interference (“pops and clicks”)
when frames are dropped or repeated by the frame synchronizer.
Note. This pathway should not be used with the SRC’s on for encoded DolbyE
audio.
Pathway 2
This pathway is scaled 12 AES wide (24 channels) and bypasses any sample rate
conversion so any of these channels are DolbyE transparent through the synchronizer. It
is assumed the audio is already synchronous to the connected reference signal (no audio
synchronization is performed by the Synchronizer(s) on these audio channels)
Pathway 3 and Pathway 4
Each of these two pathways are 4 AES wide (8 channels) and these bypass all internal
audio processing and audio synchronization. These channels are simply de-embedded
audio which maintain their synchronization to the respective incoming SDI stream. These
channels cannot be re-embedded back into the output SDI signals, but can be routed to
the external AES outputs using the output matrix for external processing.
Pathways 1 and 2 are fed into 4 independent mono audio output crossbars which provide
16 channels of audio to 4 independent output embedders, one for each of the SDI
outputs. (Fourth output is optional). There is also a 4 x AES (8 channel) external output
via an independent mono crossbar if required.
Note. All external AES connections are isolated through transformer coupling.
DolbyE
The PVD 5660 is transparent to any embedded or external DolbyE bit streams under the
following conditions:
a) The input is synchronous OR,
b) If the input is asynchronous and no internal scaler is used to process the signal.

P VD 5660 Reference Manual. Rev 1.3
Page 11 of 50
If the input source is asynchronous, and fed through one of the internal scaler options;
then the audio will be corrupted.
ARC (Aspect Ratio Conversion)
The basic module includes three independent ARCs (Aspect Ratio Converters) which
can be used to convert SDTV signals between 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratios. Two of the
ARCs are fixed in mode and are basic in operation suited better for fixed monitoring
applications. The third ARC is a high quality image processor which has extended
functionality including manually adjustable image size and position. The three ARCs are
internal resources which can be routed to any input signal and any of the four available
outputs.
Modes supported are as follows:
Conversion from 16:9 to 4:3 Aspect Ratios
4:3 Letterbox
This takes the 16:9 aspect ratio of the input signal and fits it horizontally into the 4:3 SD
image area with black bars at the top and bottom of the image.
4:3 Center Cut
This mode cuts the center portion of the 16:9 input signal and fills the 4:3 SD image area
4:3 Stretch to Fill
This mode takes the 16:9 input signal and distorts (vertically stretches) the image to fit
the available 4:3 SD image area.

P VD 5660 Reference Manual. Rev 1.3
Page 12 of 50
Conversions from 4:3 to 16:9 Aspect Ratio
16:9 PillarBox
This takes the 4.3 aspect ratio of the input signal and fits it vertically into the 16:9 SD
image area with black bars at the left and right of the image.
16:9 Center Cut
This mode cuts the horizontal center portion of the 4:3 input signal and fills the 16:9 SD
image area (cropping the top and bottom of the image)
16:9 Stretch to Fill
This mode takes the 4:3 input signal and distorts (horizontally stretches) the image to fit
the available 16:9 SD image area
ARC Image Size and Positioning
The single high quality ARC provides the ability to manually adjust image position and
size during the conversion process. Please refer to the GUI section of this manual for
more information of the controls provided and how to use them.

P VD 5660 Reference Manual. Rev 1.3
Page 13 of 50
Video Processing
Proc Amp Functions
Each of the four output channels has an associated video proc amp which provides user
adjustable Gain / Saturation / Black Level and Hue using on screen sliders.
Aperture Correction
An adjustable horizontal aperture corrector is provided for each of the three output
channels. This can be used to add (or remove) image sharpness as required.
Note. When using the down converter the filtering process results in a very slight
loss of high frequency information (which is normal), the aperture corrector can
be used to compensate for this slight loss.
Test Patterns
Each of the three output channels has its own independent test pattern generator which
provides a wide selection of test patterns which can be switched into each output. (The
Test pattern will follow the selected output standard selected for each channel).
The selected test pattern is also available as one of the modes the synchronizer will
switch to when excessive video TRS errors are encountered. Possible synchronizer
actions when the input video errors become excessive are:
•Freeze Field 1
•Freeze Field 2
•Freeze Frame
•Selected Test Pattern
•Black
Programmable Video Delay
Each of the four SDI outputs has separate programmable video delays which can be set
(independently) between 0 and 3 frames (max). The adjustment is available in pixel, line
and full frame increments.
Note The Synchronizer (including the OC-5660 DWN, and or OC-5660-UPXD
options, if installed) has fixed frame delays depending on the signal path and
selected function (see below). The 0 > 3 frame user adjustment is additional
delay relative to the fixed delays.
This adjustment will delay the video output relative to the connected reference by the
delay setting specified. (+ fixed delay)

GPI Function
The GPI input (General Purpose Input) which is a switch input function (contact closure)
can be used to perform a number of functions. The influence of this input can be set by
the user using the control system on the Video Proc Tab.
Switch Inputs
With the GPI “Switch Video Inputs” mode selected the internal video cross bars are not
accessible through the control system anymore. (Greyed out) see below:
With the GPI contact open all converters are switched to Input 1, with GPI contact closed
both the converters are switched to Input 2.
The cross bar points, (which allow switching the four video outputs to the internal
converter outputs) retain their settings, and the cross bar points which allow the switching
the original inputs to the four outputs are switched to Input 1 with GPI open, and to Input
2 with GPI closed.

P VD 5660 Reference Manual. Rev 1.3
Page 16 of 50
Freeze input with GPI
If this mode of the GPI influence is selected then the following functions will be
performed:
•With GPI open the module processes all input signals as usual
•With GPI closed the inputs will be frozen (volatile freeze, i.e. frozen frame is not
retained through power cycle)
The influence can also be configured to freeze input 1 only, freeze Input 2 only (if 2nd
input option is installed) or freeze both inputs.
In the case of an activated freeze on one or both inputs the module processing performs
all functions on the frozen frame(s).
GPI Options
The GPI functionality can be enhanced with the addition of the OC-5660-USET firmware
option. This allows the user to store 3 additional sets of module settings (snapshots) in
addition to the current used settings in module flash RAM. The GPI can then be
configured to toggle between any 2 of the 4 stored presets by selecting “switch user
presets” as the GPI influence setting. (Refer to the User Settings section in the GUI part
of this manual for more details)

Connections
Video
The PVD 5660 uses standard 75 Ohm BNC connectors. We recommend the use of high
quality video cable for digital video connections to reduce the risk of errors due to
excessive cable attenuation. Max cable lengths the module will support are shown below.
SDTV = 250m Belden 8281 (270Mbits/s)
HDTV = 140m Belden 1694A (1.4Gbits/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.
External Audio (AES)
The module provides for both Unbalanced (AES3id) and Balanced (AES3) external audio
connections.
The PVD 5660 B version provides BNC connections for unbalanced AES3id
The PVD 5660 D version provides a SubD connector for balanced AES3
Connections for the SubD connector are provided below

Installation
If this module was supplied as part of a system it is already installed in the rack
enclosure. If the module was supplied as a field upgrade please follow the installation
procedure below.
NOTE Observe static precautions when handling card. Please see ESD
warnings on Page 5.
This module has a double width rear connection panel, meaning it will occupy two slots of
a standard Series 5000 Card Rack. This is to accommodate the additional connections
needed for this module and to also provide adequate space for cooling in the rack. Up to
five P VD 5660 modules can be accommodated in a single Series 5000 rack frame.
NOTE. When using this module we highly recommend the use of the R FR 5011
Fan Front Rack Frame which provides additional airflow into the rack. If you
plan to install this module into empty slots in an existing rack with no fan front
cover - then please purchase the R FR 5001 Fan Front update kit.
Each Card Module is supplied with a rear connection panel and mounting screws. Please
follow the procedure below for the installation of the card module into the Series 5000
Card Frame.
We recommend you power the rack down before installing any additional modules into an
existing card frame.
1. Select a free two slot space in the card frame where the CardModule will be
located.
2. Remove the blank connection panels from the rear of the rack (if fitted)
3. Install the rear connection panel using the screws supplied. Do not tighten the
screws fully
4. Slide the card module into the card frame and carefully check the CardModule
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 this may damage the connectors. Remove the rear connection
panel and check alignment with the CardModule.
5. Insert and remove the CardModule a few times to ensure correct alignment and
then tighten the two screws to secure the rear connection plate.
6. Power up the rack and check the module LED’s and matrix display illuminate.
Check the module is automatically logged into the control system device tree.
(It may take a few seconds for the control system to “discover” the new module)
NOTE. The use of the optional control system is mandatory for the
control and setup of this module. If you do not have the control system,
then please contact your LYNX representative for details on how to
upgrade your rack with the LYNX control system.
