VIDEO OUTPUTS
Two HD or SD outputs using RM33 or RM39 frame rear modules
Serial output: 270Mbit or 1.485Gbit serial compliant to EBU 3267-E, SMPTE 259M and SMPTE 292M
Output follows the input format
Audio is embedded to SMPTE 272M or SMPTE 299M

ANALOGUE REFERENCE
Tri-level syncs or analogue Black and Burst or video
HD or SD source can use either type of reference
When cross locking it is necessary for both the video input and reference to share the same frame rate
Amplitude of syncs 150mV to 600mV
Link on PCB selects 75 ohm termination or high impedance

TIMING ADJUSTMENTS
SYNNER-E HD synchronises at three separate points within each field or frame: at the start of the field/frame, just after the switching point and at the start of the active field/frame
In synchroniser mode SYNNER-E HD takes its timing from the analogue external reference and will automatically synchronise sources between 0 and 1 frame. Should the reference be removed SYNNER-E HD will run in delay mode locked to the main input
The timing can be fully adjusted using horizontal and vertical settings. Increasing the vertical setting will delay the output relative to the reference in increments of one line. Increasing the horizontal setting will increase this delay in increments of approx. 74ns for SD and 13.5ns for HD. The maximum setting of both controls will provide a delay of one frame plus approx. 16us

FREEZE FUNCTIONS
Manual freeze allows the SYNNER-E HD to be used as a simple still store. Selecting single field output can counteract any flicker caused by the interlacing of the two fields on a picture with significant movement. Either field can be selected. The single field is output only when the picture is frozen. Automatic freeze is available when input fails through loss of signal. The user can specify to show the whole frame in which failure happened, field 1 or 2 of the last frame or alternatively a black or blue screen (with or without an initial delay)

VIDEO DELAYS
Optional one field video delay (16.7ms or 20ms) for Dolby E align
Optional one frame video delay (33.3ms or 40ms) for Dolby E compensation

AUDIO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS (OPTIONAL)
Piggybacks can be added to the main board to enable either input or output of 2 x Dolby E or 2 x AES or 2 x analogue stereo pairs. Fit one piggyback for one audio group or two piggybacks for two audio groups
Use HD-AIP2 to input analogue audio
Use HD-DIP2-RS to input AES audio
Use HD-DIP2 to input Dolby E. Can also be used for output timed AES. Each HD-DIP2 that uses the Dolby E synchroniser removes an input de-embedder
Use HD-AOP2 to output analogue audio
Use HD-DOP2-75 to output 75 ohm AES
Use HD-DOP2-110 to output 110 ohm AES audio

DOLBY E HANDLING
Dolby E data will be automatically detected and processed appropriately
De-embedded Dolby E will be delayed by the same amount as the video, except for any change required to align it correctly with the output video switching point. Input-timed Dolby E from a piggyback will be handled in the same way. In either case the video can be optionally delayed by one field (16.7 or 20ms) so that the timing change relative to the video will be +/- 1 field rather than 0 to 1 frame
Output-timed Dolby E from a piggyback will be treated as correctly timed and embedded with minimum processing delay
Standard audio de-embedded from the same group as Dolby E will be resampled and delayed in the usual way. Output-timed standard audio from the same piggyback as output-timed Dolby E will be routed and embedded with minimum delay

AUDIO TIMING ADJUSTMENTS
Tracking delay auto or off
The audio is normally delayed by the same amount as the video but an additional fixed delay can be added to the audio of up to 80ms, allowing the standard AES to match any Dolby E delays

AUDIO REPLACE
Routing of input piggyback audio together with audio de-embedded from up to two groups present on video input, to any channel in up to two groups embedded on video output. Audio includes Dolby E, routed as a stereo pair

AUDIO PROTECTION IN DE-EMBEDDERS
Full support for data recovery using SMPTE 299M error correction codes

EMBEDDER TIMING PERFORMANCE
Interchannel: <1 clock cycle
