Barco FSN3G 1802 Preconfigured FSN-1400 Video Processing Chassis

The NIC provides frame synchronization for all inputs with a jitter window of �0.5 lines per input channel. From the system's touch screen menu, you can monitor the input video timing and lock status.

In addition to frame synchronization, the NIC provides the following video processing features on a per-input channel basis:

• Hue and saturation adjustment
• Independent RGB contrast and brightness adjustment
• Horizontal and vertical mask adjustment
• Freeze
• Output black on LOS (Loss Of Signal)
• Color gamma correction
• Input configuration files saved on per-connector basis

Each channel accepts analog RGBHV/RGBS/RGsB, YPbPr video, S-video, Composite input signals on HD-15 connectors, DVI digital signals on DVI-I connectors and SD/HD/3G video on BNC connectors.

A custom algorithm allows each channel to automatically and rapidly lock to the selected input video source. For genlocked sources, the delay through each scaling channel is one frame.

In addition, the UIC provides the following video processing features per input channel:

• Freeze
• Input size and position adjustments
• Brightness and contrast adjustment
• Hue, saturation
• Independent RGB contrast and brightness adjustment
• Gamma adjustmenst
• Scaler sharpness control
• Powerful de-interlacing modes:
• Motion adaptive
• Field to frame (for low latency)
• pSF (Frame-to-Frame)
• 3:2 (NTSC) and 2:2 (PAL) pull-down detection
• 12-bit processing
• Output black on LOS (loss of signal) or invalid signal
• Input configuration files saved on per-connector basis
• Flicker filter

In addition to video sources, the Multiviewer can also display a real-time-clock (RTC) or timecode from the MVR card's LTC input connector.

The Multiviewer operates in either single or dual monitor modes. In single mode, up to 16 PIPs can be displayed on a single monitor. In dual mode, the 16 PIPs are distributed between two DVI-D and HD-SDI monitor outputs. Over 20 different layouts are available, designed to fit any monitoring requirement.

Once a layout is selected, you can customize the text, background, border and UMD color. Any PIP can be turned off, and the overall layout's background color, border color, and UMD (Under Monitor Display) color are all variable. The Multiviewer provides standard red/green tally within the UMD, and PIP borders automatically turn red to indicate loss-of-signal (LOS) or cyan when the corresponding input source is frozen. Just like all FSN cards, the Multiviewer card is hot-swappable, allowing for quick and easy extraction and insertion, without disturbing the system operation.

Inputs to the UOC are internal, simplifying system setup and wiring. When the system's UOC capability is combined with its UIC capability, FSN effectively operates as a multi-channel "anything in, anything out" system.

In the bottom diagram, several sources at different formats and resolutions are connected to FSN. In this example, which uses three UOCs, the FSN outputs six different signals at different formats and resolutions.

You can select the output format for each channel via the UOC setup menu, and all standard analog, DVI and SDI formats are available. In addition to standard formats, you can also output custom resolutions and timings, thus further enhancing the system's "anything in, anything out" flexibility.

The UOC outputs can vertically genlock to the system's internal sync, or free-run. For vertically locked outputs, the frame delay is one or two (user selectable) interlaced fields for interlaced native outputs, or one progressive frame for native progressive outputs.

The UOC also offers additional effects:

• Pan and zoom
• Brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, and gamma correction
• Internal test pattern

Using the Aux section on the control panel or the Aux Menu, any FSN output or any signal from the internal crosspoint matrix can be assigned to any NAC AUX output.
