1.7.3. Timing Settings

1.7.3.1. Setting the Reference
Each individual converter is fed a copy of the reference that is supplied to the HD2020 REF IN BNC.
To allow each converter to lock to this reference, the REFERENCE control should be set to external.
This will ensure that all converters lock to the same reference and ensure seamless operation of the
HD2020 internal video clean switch and audio processing modules. To have the converters lock to the
incoming video, select video. Note that when selecting video, sources will drift over time relative to the
system reference and the signals applied to the video clean switch will appear to vertically roll with
respect to each other.

CONTROL PARAMETER DESCRIPTION

Select Video to lock the output video to the input video.
Video
When there is no input video, the output video will free run.
REFERENCE
Select External to lock the output video to the HD2020 REF
External IN BNC. If the reference disappears or is not valid, the
converter will lock to the incoming video.

1.7.3.2. Setting the V Phase

With the V Phase control, you can set the vertical timing of the output video with respect to the
reference. Setting this control to 0 keeps the output video frame aligned with the converter’s reference
input or with the incoming video if reference is missing. For normal operation, the V Phase control for
each converter should be set to 0. This will ensure all video signals supplied to the HD2020 internal
video clean switch (if utilized) are aligned properly. If the V Phase control is set to a non zero value,
sources on the video clean switch will appear vertically offset.

Increasing the value will delay the output video in one-line increments of the output video standard. In
order to advance the vertical timing of the output video with respect to reference, set the control to the
maximum total number of lines of the output video minus the number of lines that you wish to advance
the output video (e.g.: for 1080i/59.94 output video the total number of lines is 1125, so to advance the
output video 5 lines, set the value to 1120). When increasing the V Phase causes it to go beyond the
limit of the frame buffer, the V Phase Offset will wrap to the beginning of the frame buffer, resulting in a
change of one frame of throughput delay between the video input and the video output.

To set the V Phase, enter a value between 0 and 1124 into the V Phase field.

Page - 18 Revision 0.1

 HD20xx Web Tool Programming Guide

1.7.3.3. Setting the H Phase

With the H Phase control, the user can set the horizontal timing of the output video with respect to the
reference input. Setting this control to 0 keeps the output video line aligned with the reference. For
normal operation, the H Phase control for each converter should be set to 0. This will ensure all video
signals supplied to the HD2020 internal video clean switch (if utilized) are aligned properly.

Increasing this value will delay the output video in one-sample increments. In order to advance the
horizontal timing of the output video with respect to the reference, set the control to the maximum
number of samples per line for the output video standard minus the number of samples that you wish
to advance the output video.

To set the H Phase, enter a value between 0 and 1124 into the H Phase field.

1.7.4. Scaler Control

1.7.4.1. Setting the H Slew Rate Limit

1.7.4.3. Setting the Aspect Ratio

The Aspect Ratio control sets the aspect ratio control that will be performed during the up/down/cross
conversion process. Many of the standard aspect ratio conversions are listed as pre-defined options
that may be selected. In addition to this, custom aspect ratio conversions can be defined using the
USER mode of operation. Once USER is selected, Input H Start, Input H Stop, Input V Start, Input V
Stop, Output H Start, Output H Stop, Output V Start, Output V Stop control are used for this
purpose. The region of the input raster defined by the Input H Start, Input H Stop, Input V Start,
Input V Stop is scaled to the region of the output raster defined by the Output H Start, Output H
Stop, Output V Start, Output V Stop.

1.7.6.2. Setting the HD Write Line

The HD Write Line control will set the HD line where the HD VANC captions are inserted on the output
HD video as per SMPTE 334M. To set the HD write line control, enter a value between 7 and 24 into
the HD write line field.


NOTE: When setting the HD Write Line, be aware of the Start of Active Video Line in
1080i and 720p. If HD VANC captions are inserted past the Start of Active Video,
most HD devices will drop the HD captions.

1.7.6.3. Setting the CC1 to CC4 Service Controls

There are four controls that will map close caption and text channels into EIA708 caption services.

These controls are the CC1 Service Control, CC2 Service Control, CC3 Service Control, CC4
Service Control. For the sake of simplicity, only one control will be outlined in this manual.

The CC1 Service Control will map CC1 into an EIA708 Caption Service when values 1 through 16 are
selected. Currently, the converter only supports 16 services (1 to 16). When CC1 Service Control is
set to off, the CC1 is not mapped to any EIA708 Caption Service.

1.7.6.4. Setting the T1 to T4 Service Controls

Using T1 Service Control, T2 Service Control, T3 Service Control and T4 Service Control the user
can set controls for T1 to T4. For the sake of simplicity, only the T1 Service Control will be outlined in

1.7.7. Noise Reduction

1.7.7.1. Setting the Noise Reduction Level
This Noise Reduction manages the level of noise reduction to apply to the video signal. The selection
levels automatically set the motion detection threshold and the aggressiveness of the filters to remove
noise. To set the noise reduction level, select one of the following options from the drop down menu:

CONTROL PARAMETER DESCRIPTION

When the control is set to Off, there is no noise reduction. The

Off
input video is left untouched.

When the control is set to Low, the noise reducer will have a lower
motion detection threshold and a less aggressive filter. This level of
Low
noise reduction is used for video that has low random noise, where
removal of low-level details is minimized.

NOISE When the control is set to Middle, the noise reducer will have an
REDUCTION average threshold set for the motion detection threshold and
aggressive filters. This level of noise reduction is used for video
Middle
that has typical amounts of random noise, where the module will
remove random noise and affect low-level details, more so than a
Low setting.
When the control is set to High, the noise reducer will have a high
motion detection threshold and a very aggressive filter. This level of
High noise reduction is used for video that has a high level of random
noise, where the filters will remove the random noise, but will soften
the low-level details.

Note: Setting the value higher than needed to remove the noise present will over-


soften areas of low amplitude, fine details.

Note: Setting the value too low may cause the circuitry to leave random noise that it
could remove. However, removal of low-level details will be minimized.

1.8. DEFAULT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

The Default System Configuration enables the user to define the default state of the system resources
and system routing for both audio and video. This default state is the configuration that the HD2020 will
enter into upon power-up and prior to the activation of the button dependant control.

It is important to review your system line diagrams when defining your default configuration. Many
parameters in the HD2020 will not change on a front panel “button-by-button basis”. Such parameters
should be defined in the default system configuration page rather than in the Button Definition page
(refer to section 4.11). This will save a significant amount of time when programming the front panel
button states.

Figure 1-8 shows the high level HD2020 system architecture. The HD2020 has several ordering
options. If a particular option is not ordered, it will not show up in this system architecture diagram as
shown in Figure 1-8. Each yellow box contains parameters that may be set within this page. Note that
many of the parameters defined in the previous web pages will show up as default values in this web
page. For example, if the user clicks on the “Converter #1”box within this page, the values defined on
Web Page 7 for Converter #1 will appear.

1.8.1. Device Configuration Windows

1.8.1.1. DVI IN Configuration
The HD2020 has a DVI input that can be used to accept either 720p or 1080p input video signals.
720p input signals are immediately frame synced and converted to SDI so that the signal can then be
routed to any other HD2020 processing resource. 1080p input signals are immediately frame synced,
interlaced to 1080i and converted to SDI. Since these signals are always frame synced, it is not always
necessary to assign one of the four HD2020 frame sync+conversion resources to this input. For
example, this signal could be directly routed to the video clean switch or any other output bus if
conversion or video proc-ing is not required.

Within the HD2020 configuration tool, you must specifically configure the DVI input for the signal format
that is being applied.


At the time of this manual’s writing the “AUTO” option is not enabled. You must
select 720p or 1080p. Again, note that when a 1080p DVI signal is applied to this
input, the signal is immediately interlaced to be a 1080i signal.

By clicking on the yellow DVI IN box, a window will appear as shown in Figure 1-9 and Figure 1-9. The
user will be able to configure the DVI input for the correct video format.

Figure 1-9: DVI Input Window

Figure 1-10: Selecting the DVI In Format

1.8.1.2. Input Routing Configuration

The HD2020 has an internal video HD/SD-SDI cross-point that allows you to route any video input to
any video frame/conversion resource, video clean switch input or video output bus. Clicking on the
yellow INPUT ROUTING button enables you to define the routing for each conversion path. Select the
appropriate routing for each converter by using the available drop down menus as shown in Figure
1-11. Each conversion path has the same list of available video sources.

It is important to note that you can route the output of the two video clean switches back into one of the
video converters. By doing this, you can simultaneously generate both an SD and HD copy of the video
clean switch outputs.

Revision 0.1 Page - 29

HD20xx Web Tool Programming Guide

To access the input routing dialog box as shown in Figure 1-11, select the following routing icon .

Figure 1-11: Input Routing Window

Figure 1-12: Selecting the Converter Input

1.8.1.3. Output Bus Signal

The HD2020 has 16 output buses that various video signals may be connected to. The 16 output
buses are connected to the HD2020’s internal HD/SD-SDI crosspoint. As a result, each output bus
may connect directly to any HD2020 HD/SD inputs, converter outputs or clean switch outputs. To
configure the HD2020 output buses, click on the yellow box labelled “Output Bus Signals”. This will
bring up a pop-up window, as shown in Figure 1-13, that allows you to select the source of video for
each of the 16 output buses. All output buses have access to the same source of video. The sources
are displayed in the drop down menu of Figure 1-14.

1.8.1.5. Test Signal Generation

The HD2020 has an internal video test signal generator on which you can select the video format and
the video test pattern. You can also overlay user defined text on the test pattern signal to assist with
source or truck identification. To configure the internal test signal generator, click on the yellow box
labelled “Test Gen”. A pop-up window will appear enabling the user to select the video format, video
test pattern, enable/disable the source ID character burn-in function and type in the custom source ID
text. Refer to Figure 1-18 for available video formats and enabling and disabling the source ID
character burn-in.

Figure 1-18: Selecting the Test Signal Generator Parameters

1.8.1.6. Clean Switch Inputs

The HD2020 has two integrated video clean switches that can be used to perform seamless switching
between various video sources of the same format. Using these internal video clean switches ensures
that absolutely no interruptions occur in video timing OR video content when switching between video
sources. There are two internal clean switches so that this type of switching can be done on a
Program and Preview basis.

To utilize the video clean switch it is customary to assign eight inputs to the clean switch that are
effectively static input routes. Following this, the clean switch router control (labelled CTL in the system
block diagram) is used to select between those eight inputs. These sources should be of the same
video format and should be timed within +/- 0.5 lines of each other and the system. Non-locked source
can be fed through the HD2020’s internal frame sync+up/down/cross converters to lock video sources
to a common time base and video format. Converter outputs are then routed to the clean switch inputs.
Alternatively, sources that are already genlocked to the same reference that the HD2020 uses can be
routed directly to the clean switch inputs.

Page - 34 Revision 0.1

 HD20xx Web Tool Programming Guide

NOTE: It is not necessary for Clean Switch #1 and Clean Switch #2 to operate on the

 same video format. For example, Clean Switch #1 could switch between 4x 720p
sources routed to Clean Switch Source #1-4 and Clean Switch #2 could switch
between 4x 1080i sources routed to Clean Switch Sources #5-8.

To assign clean switch inputs, click on the yellow box labelled “Clean Switch Input”. This will pop up a
window that allows you to select clean switch inputs and select the video format source for those
inputs. All clean switch inputs have the same available sources of video shown in Figure 1-20.

At the time of this manual’s writing the “Auto” function for clean switch input format is not enabled. You
must select the appropriate video format for each clean switch source in question.

1.8.1.7. Clean Switch Output

The HD2020 has two internal video clean switches. Upon power-up, the user must define which clean
switch inputs are routed to the clean switch output. By clicking the yellow “CTL” box, the user may
define which clean switch inputs are routed to clean switch outputs. Clean Switch #1 and Clean Switch
#2 have all eight clean switch inputs available to them. Refer to Figure 1-23 for an example of how to
select the default clean switch outputs.

This control enables the user to set the clean switch output. Clean switch #1 and #2 will have the
same options, therefore for brevity, only Clean Switch #1 Output will be described in this manual.

1.8.1.9. Configuring the Internal Octal Split Processor

The HD2020 has an internal video octal split video processor.

The octal split processor divides its output screen into nine windows. All window sizes are equal in size
and cannot be changed. Eight of these nine windows are used to display specific video sources and
monitor the embedded audio levels in those sources. Audio levels are displayed within each window
using a text to indicate the measured audio levels. Audio bar graphs will be implemented at a future
date. The ninth window is used to indicate audio levels for the HD2020 analog audio inputs and the
AES inputs.

The octal split processor allows the user to monitor Clean Switch Output #1, Clean Switch Output #2
and Clean Switch Sources 1-6. Refer to Figure 1-26 for a mapping of the octal split windows.

Figure 1-26: Octal Split Window Mapping

The HD2020 octal split must be set to specific resolutions to match operating the baseline clean switch
operating format.

When the clean switch video format is set to 525i, the octal split resolution must be set to 1440x900 or
1920x1080.

When the clean switch video format is set to 720p, the octal split resolution must be set to 1920x1080.

When the clean switch video format is set to 1080i, the octal split resolution must be set to 1680x1050
or 1920x1080. Refer to Figure 1-28 for an illustration of how to set the octal split output resolution

Each window of the octal split may have static UMD (Under Monitor Display) characters superimposed
over the video window. Window UMD characters are user programmable. Refer to Figure 1-28 for an
example of how to set the status UMD characters.

1.8.1.19). To select what set of mixers the AES outputs follow click on the yellow box labelled “AES
Audio Out 3:1” and a pop-up window will appear to enable such configuration. Refer to Figure 1-45 for
an illustration of the AES Output Mux.

1.8.1.25. Analog Audio Output Mux Configuration

The analog outputs on the HD2020 may be configured to follow the audio routing/processing as
defined via the analog mixers (refer to section 1.8.1.21) or may be configured to follow Embedder #1
mixers (refer to section 1.8.1.18) or may be configured to follow Embedder #2 mixers (refer to section
1.8.1.19). Since there are only 8 analog outputs and there are up to 16 channels on each of the audio
embedders, there is an option for the 8 analog outputs to follow group1+2 or follow group 3+4 of
embedder #1 or embedder #2. To select what set of mixers the analog audio outputs follow click on the
yellow box labelled “Analog Audio Out 3:1” and a pop-up window will appear to enable such
configuration. Refer to Figure 1-47 for an illustration of how to configure the Analog Output Mux.

1.9. BUTTON GROUP CONFIGURATION

The Button Group Configuration web page enables the user to configure the front panel button
grouping for the HD2020. A button group is a number of buttons that will typically have a similar
fashion. The unique characteristic about a button group is that only one button from a particular group
may be active (or illuminated on the front panel) at a time. By defining multiple groups of buttons
complex front panel operations may be designed. For example, multi-destination router or audio
breakaway type functions can be designed using multiple button groups.

The front panel of the HD2020 consists of 20 physical “hot buttons” as highlighted in green in Figure
1-51. There are 40 logical “hot buttons” on the HD2020 front panel. When the SHIFT key (denoted with
the ↑) is activated or highlighted, logical buttons 21-40 are accessed. When the SHIFT key is not
activated or highlighted logical buttons 1-20 are accessed.

Each button may be assigned to one group and there is one default button assigned to each group.
The default button is the button that will be automatically activated (or illuminated on the front panel) in
that group when a configuration is loaded into the HD2020.

In Figure 1-51, four unique button groups have been defined. The button with the “D” in front of the
button name is the default button for that group.

Figure 1-51: Button Group Configuration Window

The user may define individual button names in this screen by clicking each button and entering a
name into the dialog box that appears. Clicking on one of the green buttons will launch a dialog box
that prompts the user to assign the selected button a new name, as shown in Figure 1-52. To do so,
select a button and enter the button name into the “Button Name” field.

Figure 1-52: Assign a Button Name

Page - 54 Revision 0.1

 HD20xx Web Tool Programming Guide

To create a new button group, click on the “Add a new group” link within the configuration page. A
New Group dialog box will appear, as shown in Figure 1-53. Assign the group a name by entering a
name into the Group Name field. In Figure 1-53, “TEST GROUP 1” was selected as the group name.

To assign buttons to the selected group, use the left and right arrows to manage the buttons. To add a
button to the group, select or highlight the button name from the All Buttons column and use the green
arrow (pointing to the right) to move the selected button into the This Group field. For example, Figure
1-53 identifies that buttons 1-3 were assigned to TEST GROUP 1. To remove a button from a group,
select or highlight the button name from the This Group field and use the red arrow (pointing to the left)
to remove the button from the group. Once complete, select the Done button.

Any newly created groups will be listed under the Groups List section and can be edited by clicking on
the group name.

The first button moved into a particular group is automatically made the default button for that group.
The button that is defined as the default button will be the bolded button in the This Group column.

To change the default button, double click on the desired button name in the This Group column. In
Figure 1-53, button 1 identifies Button1 as the default button in Test Group 1.

1.10. BUTTON FUNCTION DEFINITION

The Button Function Definition web page allows the user to define the function that each button on the
front panel will perform when activated. Refer to Figure 1-54 for an illustration of the basic button
configuration page. Figure 1-55 illustrates the same page with button group definitions pre-defined.

Figure 1-54: Button Function Definition Window

Page - 56 Revision 0.1

 HD20xx Web Tool Programming Guide

Figure 1-55: Button Function Definition Window with Button Groups

To configure the function that a particular button will perform, depress the button on the pictorial
representation of the HD2020. Note that it is possible to define the function that will be performed
when a single button is activated and when a combination of buttons is made active. Refer to Figure
1-56 for an illustration of activating a single button for configuration and a combination of buttons for
configuration.

Revision 0.1 Page - 57

HD20xx Web Tool Programming Guide

Figure 1-56: Activating a Single Button and Button Combination

Once a single button (or button combination) has been selected, you may then proceed to define what
parameters will change once that button is physically activated on the front panel. To do this, click on
any of the yellow boxes within the system architecture and a pop-up window will appear for that
particular processing element. When the pop-up window appears, for the first time all parameters will
appear greyed out. This indicates that when the button is activated, that parameter will not be changed.
However, by clicking on the name of any parameter, the value will change from grey to white. When
the parameter value has changed from grey to white, it indicates that particular parameter can be
changed when the button is activated. The parameter will change to the value that is selected.

Page - 58 Revision 0.1

 HD20xx Web Tool Programming Guide

On a per button basis you may change a single or multiple parameter(s) within a single processing
block and across processing blocks. Refer to Figure 1-57 for an example of how to change the clean
switch input to output routing when button 1 is activated.

Figure 1-57: Activating a Single Button and Button Combination

The complexity of the functions that may be implemented using single button and multiple button
configurations is much more than the example illustrated above but it should serve to demonstrate the
concept behind button function definitions. It is important to note that pressing the SHIFT button on this
page accesses buttons 21-40.

The user can also use the Button Definition Page to define the HD2020 front panel response to two
quick successive activations. This is called a “double punch” function. When a “double punch’ is
physically performed on the front panel, a user defined set of parameters can appear on the Left and
Right hand side LCDs of the front panel. Once they appear, the four scroll knobs on the front panel
may then be used to process those parameters.

To define what parameters appear on the front panel LCDs when a particular button is “double
punched’, first select the button and then click on the “Front Panel Scroll Knob” text. Once this is done
you may select what parameter will appear in the top-left, bottom-left, top-right and bottom-right LCD
areas. Refer to Figure 1-58 for an example of defining what parameters will appear when button 2 is
“double punched’. In this example, Hue, Y Gain, Y Offset for conversion path 1 will appear in the front
panel LCD buttons.

1.12. MANAGING HD2020 CONFIGURATION FILES

The HD2020 web configuration tool is used to generate configuration files that are stored in the unit
and then restored or selected via the HD2020 front panel. The web configuration tool is not designed to
change unit parameters in a real time fashion. VLPRO based control must be used for changing device
parameters in real time (contact the factory for availability information).

To manage the HD2020 configuration files, click on the CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT hyperlink
near the top right hand corner of the web page. This will load the configuration management web page
shown in Figure 1-64.

Figure 1-63: Navigating to the HD2020 Configuration Management Page

When navigating through the HD2020 web configuration tool and changing parameters, you are
generating a “working configuration file”. All settings within this “working configuration file” are stored in
the web pages only until the file is saved.

The left hand side of the Configuration Management page allows you to save and recall HD2020
configurations on your local PC. Click the “SAVE” hyperlink embedded in the line of text that reads
“Save the current working configuration to a local file”. This will allow you to save your working
configuration to a file. To load a configuration file from your PC and make it the “working configuration
file”, click the BROWSE button on the left hand side of the page. This will allow you to browse to a
HD2020 configuration file and load it in as the “working configuration file”.

Revision 0.1 Page - 65

HD20xx Web Tool Programming Guide

Figure 1-64: HD2020 Configuration Management Page

To save a “working configuration file” to the HD2020 hardware, enter a file name into the text box
beside the words “Save in Main as”. Following this, push the SAVE button. The file will then be stored
in the HD2020 and will show up in the list of available HD2020 configurations.

Configurations are selected (or restored) via the HD2020 front panel. Two types of files are stored
within the HD2020. The first type is labeled “MAIN”. These are the engineering files that get saved to
the HD2020 when a configuration file is first designed and downloaded into the HD2020. The second
type is labeled “LIVE”. Files under the LIVE category are the engineering configuration files that get
saved to the HD2020 PLUS any configuration changes that are done via the HD2020 front panel.
Effectively the LIVE files are the “running memory” of a particular HD2020 configuration.

On the HD2020 front panel, the MAIN files are selected (made active) when “RESTORED” and LIVE
files are selected (made active) when “SELECTED”. To RESTORE a file, navigate through the
engineering front menu system as follows SYSTEM -> CONFIG -> RESTORE. To SELECT a file,
navigate through the engineering front menu system as follows SYSTEM -> CONFIG -> SELECT.

Each file has a left point green arrow and a red “X” under the LIVE or MAIN title. By clicking on the left
point green arrow a file can be loaded back into the configuration tool and made the “working
configuration file”. By clicking the red “X”, the file will be deleted from the HD2020.
