Introduction 9062 Functional Description Video Processor Description The 9062 features a scaler that provides up, down, and cross-conversion using de-interlacing and motion adaptation for high quality up-conversions. The scaler also provides user-adjustable aspect ratio control and zoom control. Separate controls are provided for SD and HD inputs that allow the card to flexibly and independently handle mixed input formats. The 9062 video subsystem also provides the functions described below.

Introduction 9062 Functional Description Timecode Processor (See Figure 1-2.) This function provides for extraction of timecode data from the input video, and in turn re-insertion of timecode data into the output SDI. In this manner, timecode data can be preserved, even after format conversion. The function can monitor the SDI video input of the card for supported timecode formats, and then select and prioritize among SDI VITC, SDI ATC_VITC, and SDI ATC_LTC, and embedded audio LTC timecode sources.
1 9062 Functional Description Closed Captioning Processor This function provides support for closed captioning setup. The function allows the selection of the ancillary data line number where the ancillary closed caption data is outputted when the output is HD.
Introduction 9062 Functional Description 3-2 Pulldown Conversion and Considerations Figure 1-3 depicts the 3-2 pulldown process used for conversions between progressive film video formats and interlaced video formats. (Although the term “3-2” is used here per convention, it is more accurately described as 2-3 per the diagram here and SMPTE definitions which stipulate that first film frame A be represented exclusively by 2 fields from the same frame).
1 9062 Functional Description Audio Processor Description The audio processor operates as an internal audio router. The router function chooses from the following inputs: • 16 channels of embedded audio from the SDI video input • Four independent internal tone generators (described below) • Internal Down Mix and Mono Mixer outputs (described below) • Digital silence (mute) setting The router function provides up to 16 channels of embedded audio on the SDI outputs.
Introduction 9062 Functional Description The Mono Mixer function (Figure 1-5) generates an additional mono-mixed channel from two selected embedded input channels serving as left and right inputs. The resulting mono mix channel is available as an audio source for any of the 16 destination embedded output channels. Embed Ch 1 - Ch 16 Emb Ch 12 L Emb Ch 16 R MONO Σ Figure 1-5 Audio Mono Mix Functional Block Diagram with Example Sources 2.0-to-5.
1 9062 Functional Description The examples in Figure 1-6 show the automatic enable/disable up-mixing function applied to example selected channels Emb Ch 1 thru Emb Ch 6. As shown and described, the processing is contingent upon the signal levels of the channels selected to carry the new 5.1 upmix relative to the selected threshold (in this example, -60 dBFS). Note also that this function is applied after the Audio Routing/Gain Control function.
Introduction 9062 Functional Description Loudness Processor (Option +LP) Note: Loudness processor function is an optional licensable feature. This function and its controls appear only when a license key is entered and activated. (This option (identified in Cobalt® price lists as +LP) can be purchased upon initial order, or field-activated using a key string which is sent to you when this option is purchased.) If your card was purchased with option +LP, loudness processor manual supplement “5.

3 Troubleshooting Basic Troubleshooting Checks Failures of a general nature (affecting many cards and/or functions simultaneously), or gross inoperability errors are best addressed first by performing basic checks before proceeding further. Table 3-3 provides basic system checks that typically locate the source of most general problems. If required and applicable, perform further troubleshooting in accordance with the other troubleshooting tables in this section.
Operating Instructions Troubleshooting 9062 Processing Error Troubleshooting Table 3-4 provides 9062 processing troubleshooting information. If the 9062 card exhibits any of the symptoms listed in Table 3-4, follow the troubleshooting instructions provided. In the majority of cases, most errors are caused by simple errors where the 9062 is not appropriately set for the type of signal being received by the card.
