1UVP-101i Universal Video Processor/Synchronizer
1.1 Introduction
The UVP-101i is a universal video incoming feed processor supporting both digital and analog input
standards, 20-bit AES embedded audio handling and both digital and analog standards available at the
outputs. The analog input's adaptive decoder can handle a variety of decoding modes including Adaptive 2D,
Adaptive 3D and Super Adaptive. The built-in frame synchronizer can be used to lock remote feeds to a local
reference or to delay video signals by up to 4 frames. A built-in proc-amp provides a wide range of video
level and phase adjustments. The UVP-101i incorporates Automatic Gain Control (AGC) to handle the signal
amplitude instability typical of satellite sources, and Time Base Correction (TBC) to handle the timing
instability present on many feeds originating from video cassette (VCR). The UVP-101i is designed to work in
conjunction with the UAP-712i, the AAP-702i, or the DAP-712i audio processor. The UVP-101i can extract
embedded audio, pass it to the audio processor module for processing and re-embed the audio at the output.
A delay tracking output allows the audio processor to match the delay introduced by the UVP-101i. The
UVP-101i includes complete control of VANC allowing each line of the VANC to be passed, blanked or
processed. The UVP-101i’s flexible i/o and complete feature set make it ideal for in-studio and incoming feed
processing applications.

2.4 Genlock
The UVP-101i can lock its output timing to one of four sources: the external reference, the analog composite
video input, the digital video input or an internal digitally-corrected oscillator. The source used to lock the
UVP-101i depends on the presence of a reference, the analog input, the digital input and the source type
(Satellite, Studio or VCR; see section 4.2.2).
2.4.1 External Reference
The external reference is usually a black burst composite signal or any composite video signal with burst
according to SMPTE-170M or ITU-624-4. It may also be any analog composite video signals (non-black
signal).

PRELIMINARY GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
UVP-101i | 7
The UVP-101i detects the line format of the reference. A valid analog composite reference signal will turn on
the REF indicator located on the module’s front end. The reference signal must be NTSC for 60 Hz sources
(NTSC, 525) and PAL for 50 Hz sources (PAL, 625). If there exists a line format mismatch between the
reference input and the composite input, the REF indicator flashes, but the output format is forced to black
and set according to the reference.
When the external reference is present, the digital or the analog input can be asynchronous and will be
frame synchronized with the reference.
2.4.2 Analog Composite Video Input
When the reference is not present and the analog video input is selected, the UVP-101i locks its timing
according to the analog composite video input. The input video can be any composite video signal (SMTPE-
170M or ITU-624-4) or a B&W composite sync (no burst).
2.4.3 Digital Video Input
When the reference is not present and the digital video input is selected, the UVP-101i locks its timing
according to the digital video input.
2.5 Video Tracking Delay
The video tracking delay is a signal that specifies the current processing delay of the card. It indicates to the
audio processor card the amount of delay that must be added in the audio path to compensate for the video
processing delay and frame sync function to avoid lip sync problems. The signal value is calculated by the
UVP-101i, and is not user-adjustable.
The video tracking delay signal is sent from the UVP-101i to external audio processors via the two ABUS
connectors. A differential signal using the RS-422A transport protocol is also available on the RJ-45
connector on the back of the frame (see sect. 2.3.2). Detailed specifications for this signal are available in
Miranda’s “Video Processing Delay Signal” document number 212-02S00-110.

3.1 User Controls
Figure 3.1 below shows the card-edge user interface.
3.1.1 LED Indicators
The 525/625 LEDs (green) indicate the line format of the selected input video. When the digital input is
selected, the display will indicate “525” or “625”. When the analog input is displayed, the LEDs still indicate
the line format, but the display also indicates the current composite format (NTSC or PAL).
The REF LED (green) turns on to indicate a valid composite signal has been detected on the REF IN BNC.
It will remain off if no reference signal is installed. If there is a line format mismatch between the reference
input and the selected video source, the REF LED flashes, but the output format follows the reference format
and is forced to black.
The input ERR (error) LED (red) will turn on if there is an error at the selected input or if the signal cannot be
locked. Also, if a standard is forced, for example, NTSC and the input signal detected is other than a NTSC
signal, the ERR LED will indicate an error. NOTE: in some cases, when the card is set to VCR mode (see
sect. 4.2.2) and forced standard, an incorrect input format will not be detected and the ERR LED will not
illuminate.
The EDH LED (red) turns on whenever an incoming EDH flag is detected.
The B&W LED (green) turns on when the analog video input is a monochrome signal (no subcarrier).
The TEST LED (yellow) will turn on whenever the internal test pattern is activated.
The FREEZE LED (yellow) will turn on whenever the manual freeze is enabled. It will also blink when the
card executes an automatic freeze in response to a loss of input or continuous input errors.

3.1.2 Push Buttons
The following functions are accessible from the card-edge-mounted push buttons:
TEST Enables and Disables the internal test signal on both analog and digital outputs. Toggles
between 100% white bar and 75% Color Bars, black, and normal mode. When it is activated,
the EDH error codes (flags) are blanked as well as the HANC and VANC intervals on the
input side.
FREEZE Enables and Disables the manual freeze mode (see section 4.7.1).
The TEST and FREEZE LEDs will turn on when the indicated function is selected.
3.1.3 Display
The functionality of the four-character card-edge display is as follows:
•In Normal operating mode, it shows the currently-selected input format, and the display is dimmed.
•In Menu Adjustment mode, the display shows the current menu selection, and the display is at full
brightness.
3.1.4 Parameter Adjustment using the Menu
Most UVP-101i parameters are accessed and changed via an easy-to-use menu. The menu tree of figure 3.2
outlines the entire UVP-101i menu path. Each item in the menu is discussed in detail in sections 4.1 to 4.10.
Navigating Through the Menu
The front panel push-buttons are used to navigate the menu of Figure 3.2. The following describes the
function of each push-button when navigating through the menu.
To access the menu, the user must first press the SELECT push-button. Once in the menu, the four push-
buttons have the following functionality:
+: Press + to move down in the menu or to increase the parameter value. Holding down + during
an adjustment will increase the parameter value at a faster rate.
-:Press -to move up in the menu or to decrease the parameter value. Holding down -during an
adjustment will decrease the parameter value at a faster rate.
SELECT: Use SELECT to move to the right in the menu. Once you have moved to a parameter which
has a set of associated values, press SELECT to display the current value. After choosing a
new value using the + and –buttons, push SELECT. The new value is stored immediately in
non-volatile memory, and the display once again shows the parameter name.
ESC: Use ESC to move to the left in the menu. If ESC is pressed after making changes to a
parameter, the parameter is reset to the value it had prior to the change (but not if SELECT
was pressed). For example, after changing the brightness, press ESC. The menu is returned
to BRI and the previous brightness value is reloaded.
Automatic Exit From Menu After 1-Minute Interval
If the menu is currently being accessed and no push button has been pressed for 1 minute, the UVP-101i
automatically exits from the menu, and returns to normal mode. When this happens, changes made to the
current parameter will be stored.

4Description of Operating Functions
The operating functions of the UVP-101i are described in the following paragraphs. In all cases reference is
made to the location in the menu where the described function can be controlled. The functions are
presented in the order of their appearance in the menu tree.
4.1 Video Input Selection [MENU: INP]
The UVP-101i supports two types of video input: composite analog (ANA) and serial digital (SDI). Since both
types of video input can be present and valid at the same time, a manual selection (via the menu or remote
control) allows the user to select the desired input.
Format detection for the incoming SDI signal is automatic, and no user controls are provided. There are a
number of options available to the user for the analog input; these are found in the ICMP menu (section 4.2).
4.2 Composite Input Processing Functions [MENU: ICMP]
Several processing options are available for the composite analog input, as follows:
4.2.1 Input Format Detection [MENU: ICMP→FRMT]
The UVP-101i supports two modes of analog input format detection: automatic and forced. These modes can
be set at the card edge or by remote control.
Automatic Format Detection
The analog input module is able to automatically detect the input format (NTSC or PAL) and report it (card
edge LED and remote control). It also detects black and white signals (B&W) and configures the decoder
accordingly. When B&W signals are detected, the card-edge B&W LED will turn ON. Select AUTO to enable
the automatic format detection mode.
Forced Input Format Selection
This mode allows the user to select one of the supported input formats. The available options are NTSC,
PAL, B&W5 (525-line monochrome) and B&W6 (625-line monochrome). While in this mode of operation, the
UVP-101i remains configured for that format at all times regardless of the actual input signal’s format. If the
input signal’s format does not match the forced selection, the ERR LED will turn on. NOTE: in VCR mode, a
format mismatch is not always detected.
4.2.2 Analog Video Source Types [MENU: ICMP→SRC]
To simplify the controls for the users when the analog video input is used, the UVP-101i is pre-programmed
for 3 operational modes corresponding to the the most common source types. The STUDIO source type is
used for high quality sources, SATELLITE for satellite sources, and VCR for unstable sources.
Selecting a source type affects the Automatic Gain Control (AGC), the Time Base Correction (TBC) and the
output phasing adjustments, as follows:
Satellite
In this mode, the TBC is OFF and the AGC is ON. If there is a valid external reference, the output phasing
(V, H and fine H) is set with respect to the reference timing. If there is no reference, the output is free
running with respect to the input and there are no output phasing adjustments.
The automatic gain control accepts a –10 dB to +3 dB input level on the analog input based on 75%
modulation. The AGC is based on the sync level and affects the overall gain.

UVP-101i | 13
Studio
In this mode, the TBC is OFF and the AGC is OFF. If there is a valid external reference, the output phasing
(V, H and fine H) is set with respect to the reference timing. If there is no reference, the output phasing is
set with respect to the analog video input (frame buffer mode).
VCR
In this mode, the TBC is ON and the AGC is OFF. If there is a valid external reference, the output phasing
(V, H and fine H) is set with respect to the reference timing. If there is no reference, the output is free
running with respect to the input and there is no output phasing adjustment. NOTE: in this mode,
mismatches between a forced input standard and the actual input are not always detected and flagged,
due to the TBC’s acceptance of a wide range of unstable sources.
4.2.3 Composite Input Decoding Mode [MENU: ICMP→DECD]
The UVP-101i offers the following decoding modes for the active picture:
•2D adaptive (bandsplit/line based)
•3D adaptive (bandsplit/field/frame based)
•Super Adaptive (smoothly adapts between all modes on a pixel by pixel basis)
4.2.4 Composite Input Setup (NTSC only) [MENU: ICMP→SETP]
The UVP-101i handles a wide range of setup levels on the composite input (from –10 IRE to +10 IRE). In the
user interface, the setup level is expressed in IRE for NTSC sources. PAL inputs are assumed to have 0 mV
input setup, and no selection is provided.
4.3 Digital ProcAmp Functions [MENU: PROC]
The functions described below apply to both the analog and digital video inputs.
4.3.1 Y Gain [MENU: PROC→Y]
Range from –800 to +800. Unity gain at 0. Multiply by 2 gain at +800. Zero gain at –800.
4.3.2 Cb Gain [MENU: PROC→Cb]
Range from –800 to +800. Unity gain at 0. Multiply by 2 gain at +800. Zero gain at –800.
4.3.3 Cr Gain [MENU: PROC→Cr]
Range from –800 to +800. Unity gain at 0. Multiply by 2 gain at +800. Zero gain at –800.
4.3.4 Chroma Gain (saturation) [MENU: PROC→SAT]
The chroma gain applies to the Cb and Cr gains at the same time. Range from –800 to +800. Unity gain at 0.
Multiply by 2 gain at +800. Zero gain at –800.
4.3.5 Overall Video Gain [MENU: PROC→ALL]
The overall gain applies to the Y, Cb and Cr gains at the same time. Range from –800 to +800. Unity gain at
0. Multiply by 2 gain at +800. Zero gain at –800.
4.3.6 Black Level [MENU: PROC→BLAK]
The black level (Y only) may be changed within a range of –100 to +100 in the digital domain.

4.3.7 Hue Adjustments (NTSC/525 only) [MENU: PROC→HUE]
The hue can be adjusted from –180 to +180 degrees in steps of 1 degree in 525 and 1.4 degrees in NTSC.
The default value is zero.
4.3.8 Horizontal Position (COMP IN only) [MENU: PROC→HPOS]
Picture position may be adjusted by +/-7 pixels (a total range of 518 ns) in steps of ½ pixel (37 ns).
4.4 Timing Adjustments [MENU: TIMG]
When a valid external reference is present, the video output is phased with respect to the reference input
(frame sync mode). Otherwise, it is phased according to the video input (frame buffer mode). In this section,
we will assume that the analog composite output and the digital video output are phased together. Hence,
the term “output” refers to both the digital and the analog outputs. However, the digital output is slightly in
advance (~ 3 us) compared to the analog output.
4.4.1 Timing mode [MENU: TIMG→MODE]
When the studio reference and the analog composite inputs are asynchronous, and in order to time the
output video with the reference, the built-in frame synchronizer continuously changes the processing delay of
the video input with respect to the outputs. Due to this inherent operation, aligning re-encoded video data
with the same color frame as the input video is not always guaranteed. Misalignment results in encoding
artifacts at the composite outputs.
In order to overcome this drawback, the UVP-101i provides a special timing mode to reduce the encoding
artifacts derived from a color frame mismatch between the composite outputs and the decoded composite
input during genlock mode. Setting the timing mode menu to 4FLD reduces encoding artifacts. This
parameter is only available when a studio reference is installed and an NTSC composite signal is detected.
Frame phasing is not possible in 4FLD mode.
4.4.2 Frame phasing [MENU: TIMG→FRAM]
Frame phasing allows a super coarse adjustment in frame increments. In the user interface, this adjustment
is from 0 to 3 in steps of 1 frame. When a reference is present (frame sync mode), the frame adjustment
allows additional frames to be added after the frame sync. Frame phasing is not possible in 4FLD mode.
4.4.3 Vertical phasing [MENU: TIMG→VERT]
The vertical phasing allows coarse adjustments in line increments. In the user interface, this adjustment is
from 0 to 524 (or 624) in steps of 1 line. When the V phasing is zero (0) and the H phasing is zero (0), it
means the output is vertically and horizontally phased with the reference. When the reference is not present
and the UVP-101i is locked to the input, the minimum processing delay of the card is 3 lines. NOTE: vertical
phasing is not possible when there is no reference input, and the UVP-101i is in Satellite or VCR mode.
4.4.4 Horizontal phasing [MENU: TIMG→HORZ]
The horizontal phasing allows a less coarse adjustment in 37 ns increments. In the user interface, this
adjustment is from 0 to 63.6us (or 64.0 us). When the V phasing is zero (0) and the H phasing is zero (0), it
means the output is vertically and horizontally phased with the reference. When the reference is not present
and the UVP-101i is locked to the input, the minimum processing delay of the card is 3 lines. NOTE:
horizontal phasing is not possible when there is no reference input, and the UVP-101i is in Satellite or VCR
mode.
4.4.5 Horizontal Fine phasing [MENU: TIMG→FINE]
The horizontal fine phasing allows a fine adjustment in steps of 0.5 ns. In the user interface, this adjustment
is from –40 to +40 in steps of one (1). When the V, H and fine phasing are set to zero (0), the output is

UVP-101i | 15
phased with the reference or the input within less than +/-18.5 ns. NOTE: fine phasing is only available when
a reference input is detected.
4.5 Audio Processing Functions [MENU: ABUS→#1 and ABUS→#2]
The UVP-101i does not possess on-board audio processing capability. However, it can disembed audio
carried in the SDI input signal, and pass it to an external processor (such as Miranda’s UAP-712i or DAP-
712i). It then re-embeds the processed audio into the SDI output. Up to two external processors are
supported. Communications with the external processors are handled through the audio bus via two 10-pin
connectors called “ABUS #1” and “ABUS #2” located on the card edge (see section 2.2). This interface
supports 20-bit audio processing. The source audio group (for disembedding at the input) and destination
audio group (for embedding at the output) are selectable through the menu for each bus.
Typical Applications with UAP-712i or DAP-712i: Only one audio group can be processed by these audio
cards. To mux/demux two groups, two outboard cards must be used. All other audio groups not processed
by the audio card are lost in frame sync mode. When used alone, the UVP-101i will pass the audio but a
couple of audio frames could be lost in frame sync mode. The audio is not affected in delay mode (or frame
buffer mode).

4.5.1 Audio De-Embedding [MENU: ABUS→#1 (or #2)→DMUX]
Audio De-Embedding from the digital input. Up to 2 Groups / 8 Channels are extracted and passed to a
companion audio delay/processor card via the header connectors on the front of the module.
4.5.2 Audio Embedding [MENU: ABUS→#1 (or #2)→MUX]
Audio embedding of up to 8 Channels (2 Groups) audio. Audio obtained from header connector linked to
companion audio card. When an audio group is inserted in the ancillary data, it overwrites only the previous
audio group (if present) that was present in the video. It does not affect any other ancillary data. This means
that if there are 4 groups of audio present in the video and we insert a new group 2, the previous group 2 is
replaced by the new one.
4.5.3 VBIT Processing [MENU: ABUS→#1 (or #2)→VBIT]
The user can choose to MUTE or PASS the VBIT in the selected audio bus.
4.6 Blanking Interval Processing [MENU: BLNK]
4.6.1 Horizontal Interval Functions [MENU: BLNK→HANC]
The user can select whether to PASS or BLANK the horizontal blanking interval for the digital video input.
When the HANC is blanked, the audio can still be de-embedded and re-embedded using the ABUS
connectors. The blanking function is performed between these two functions.
4.6.2 Vertical Interval Functions [MENU: BLNK→VANC]
Incoming vertical ancillary data can be manipulated on a block or line-by-line basis for the decoder setup and
proc-amp functions. This affects lines 10 to 23 for 525-line formats and line 6 to 23 for 625-line formats.
Block Basis :
PASS The line is unprocessed and buffered to the luminance channel only. Chroma data is set
to 0. Setup OFF, unity gain.
BLNK The line is blanked (black). Setup OFF.
PROC The line is processed by the Proc-Amp, adaptive decoding
DECD The interval is decoded (adaptive decoding, setup OFF, unity gain)
USER This setting allows the user to select the above settings on a line-by-line basis. This is
possible via iControl only.
4.7 Freeze Mode [MENU: FRZE]
The UVP-101i has a freeze mode that may be triggered manually or automatically. All the current Proc-Amp
functions are applied to the frozen image. When a freeze condition occurs (manual or automatic), the
horizontal (HANC) and vertical blanking interval (lines 1 to 9) are blanked. Only the active picture (including
lines 10 to 20) is displayed.
A GPI output is triggered when the freeze function is activated, provided that the freeze trigger has been
continuously present for more than one second.
4.7.1 Manual Freeze [MENU: FRZE→MAN]
A manual freeze may be triggered from from the card edge Freeze pushbutton or from a remote controller.
The image displayed when a manual freeze is triggered is shown in table 4.1.
