Synapse is a modular system designed for the broadcast industry. Synapse High density, intuitive operation and high quality processing are key features of this system. Synapse offers a full range of converters and processing modules. Please visit the AXON Digital Design Website at www.axon.tv... -
Page 7: Unpacking And Placement
Placing the card The Synapse card can be placed vertically in an SFR18 frame or horizontally in an SFR04 and SFR08 frame. Locate the two guide slots to be used, slide in the mounted circuit board, and push it firmly to locate the connectors. -
Page 8: A Quick Start
3 A Quick Start When Powering- On powering up the Synapse frame, the card set will use basic data and default initialisation settings. All LED’s will light during this process. After initialisation, several LED’s will remain lit – the exact number and configuration is dependent upon the number of inputs connected and the status of the inputs. -

When GPI1 is closed, the card is set to crossed. When set to GPI 1/2 mom the way the GDR216 works is set via pulses on GPI 1 and 2. A pulse on GPI 1 will set to card to normal. -
Page 14: Pll_Set_A
PLL_set_A The GDR216 is capable of re-clocking a range of 3Gbit/s, HD and SD SDI transport stream bitrates. PLL_Set_A is used to set input A of the GDR216 to the correct bitrate of the incoming signal. PLL_Set_A can be set to Auto, 270 Mb/s, 1485 Mb/s and 2970 Mb/s. -
Page 15: Gpo-0
GPO-0 With this setting you can set what status the General Purpose Interface Output 0 should be reporting. The following are possible: Input-A: lets the GPO indicate whether or not there’s signal ■ present on input A (follows status menu item SDI-input_A). Value 0 means input A is ok, value 1 means input A is not ok. -
Page 16: Hdmi1-Dvi-Mode
Possible modes are: RGB444 (default) ■ YCrCb422 ■ YCrCb444 ■ HDMI1-DVI-Mode With these settings you set SFP HDMI output A to either DVI-Mode or HDMI-Mode. Default is DVI-Mode. HDMI1_Mute_All Here you can mute all audio on SFP HDMI output A. Off means no audio mute. -
Page 17: Status Menu
Introduction The status menu indicates the current status of each item listed below. There are no defaults for status indicators. Status depends of input signals being present or not. The GDR216 is not able to monitor the inactive input in 1-channel mode. -
Page 18: Sfp1-Type
SFP1-Type These status items display the type name/number of SFP input/output module A. SFP1-Temp-Stat These indicate whether the temperature of SFP input/output module A is Too_High, High, OK, Low or Too_Low. Can also be NA in case Temperature monitoring is not available or the module is not inserted. SFP1-Volt-Stat These indicate whether the voltage usage of SFP input/output module A is Too_High, High, OK, Low or Too_Low. -
Page 19: Sfp2-Volt-Stat
SFP2-Volt-Stat These indicate whether the above indicated voltage usage of SFP input/output module B is Too_High, High, OK, Low or Too_Low. Can also be NA in case Voltage monitoring is not available or the module is not inserted. Port3/4-Enabled These item indicate whether the corresponding output on SFP output module is enabled, disabled or NA (Not available, when no input signal is available or an input module is inserted) Port3/4-Power These status items indicate the current transmitter power of the... -
Page 20: Events Menu
There are several means by which the message can be filtered. Events The events reported by the GDR216 are as follows; Announcements Announcements is not an event. This item is only used for switching the announcement of status changes on/off. 0=off, other =on Input_A Input A status can be selected between 0 .. -
Page 21: What Information Is Available In An Event
The Message String The message string is defined in the card and is therefore fixed. It may be used in controlling software like Synapse Set-up to show the event. The Tag The tag is also defined in the card. The tag has a fixed meaning. When controlling or monitoring software should make decisions based on events, it is easier to use the tag instead of interpreting a string. -
