3 Overview

The unique SP-10D is a multi-standard/multi-format broadcast quality video processor – ProcAmp, TBC, format converter (for mixing different types of equipment), and standards converter. It is a universal single-box solution for all your video processing requirements.

In particular, the SP-10D Digital Video Processor includes the following:

  • Inputs: composite video, s-Video, component video (YUV or RGB/S), and genlock
  • Outputs ^1 : composite video, s-Video, component video (YUV, RGsB, RGBS, RGBHV), “before/after” split-screen, and genlock loop
    • Video Standards ^2 : PAL-B/D/G/H/I/M/N, NTSC-3.58/4.43, SECAM
  • ProcAmp functions: video gain, brightness, contrast, color, hue, and sharpness (independent H and V)
  • A full range of color control features in both YUV and RGB color spaces ^3
  • Four-field memory for the highest picture quality
  • Timing: genlocked to an external video reference with control of H-delay and SCH phase. Alternatively, the unit can synthesize its own timing to provide a full time-base-corrected (TBC) output
  • Individual H and V Chroma – Luma delay

In addition, the SP-10D Digital Video Processor includes:

• 16 non-volatile memory setups that are available for saving the settings
- Power-down save, picture freeze, and a screen splitter that provides simultaneous "before and after" image comparison on one monitor
- Full 10-bit digital processing throughout, for the highest possible video quality

Control the SP-10D:

  • Using the front panel buttons and the 7-segment display
  • Remotely, by RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or other serial controller

To achieve the best performance:

  • Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
  • Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer SP-10D away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

5 Installing the SP-10D in a Rack

This section provides instructions for rack mounting the 1U unit.

Before Installing in a Rack

Before installing in a rack, be sure that the environment is within the recommended range:

Operating temperature range+5° to +45°C (41° to 113°F)
Operating humidity range10 to 90% RHL, non-condensing
Storage temperature range-20° to +70°C (-4° to 158°F)
Storage humidity range5 to 95% RHL, non-condensing

Kramer SP-10D - Before Installing in a Rack - 1

CAUTION!

When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking care that:

  1. It is located within the recommended environmental conditions, as the operating ambient temperature of a closed or multi unit rack assembly may exceed the room ambient temperature.
  2. Once rack mounted, enough air will still flow around the machine.
  3. The machine is placed straight in the correct horizontal position.
  4. You do not overload the circuit(s). When connecting the machine to the supply circuit, overloading the circuits might have a detrimental effect on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Refer to the appropriate nameplate ratings for information. For example, for fuse replacement, see the value printed on the product label.
  5. The machine is earthed (grounded) in a reliable way and is connected only to an electricity socket with grounding. Pay particular attention to situations where electricity is supplied indirectly (when the power cord is not plugged directly into the socket in the wall), for example, when using an extension cable or a power strip, and that you use only the power cord that is supplied with the machine.

How to Rack Mount

To rack-mount a machine:

  1. Attach both ear brackets to the machine. To do so, remove the screws from each side of the machine (3 on each side), and replace those screws through the ear brackets.

Kramer SP-10D - How to Rack Mount - 1

natural_image Technical line drawing of a mechanical bracket assembly (no text or symbols)
  1. Place the ears of the machine against the rack rails, and insert the proper screws (not provided) through each of the four holes in the rack ears.

Note:

• In some models, the front panel may feature built-in rack ears
- Detachable rack ears can be removed for desktop use
• Always mount the machine in the rack before you attach any cables or connect the machine to the power
- If you are using a Kramer rack adapter kit (for a machine that is not 19"), see the Rack Adapters user manual for installation instructions available from:
http://www.kramerelectronics.com

6 Connecting Your SP-10D Digital Video Processor

You can use your SP-10D to convert composite video, s-Video, or component video (YUV or RGB/S) signals to composite video, s-Video, and ^1 component video (YUV, RGsB, RGBS, RGBHV). The processing can be evaluated on a “Before/after” split-screen.

To connect the SP-10D Digital Video Processor, do the following ^2 :

  1. Connect the following sources to the SP-10D:

  2. The composite video source (for example, a video player) to the CV INPUT BNC connector

  3. The s-Video source (for example, an s-Video player) to the Y/C INPUT 4-pin connector

  4. Connect the component video INPUT BNC connectors, G/Y, B/B-Y, and R/R-Y to either a YUV or an RGB video source, as follows:

• A video player source to G/Y, R/R-Y, and B/B-Y, or
- A camera (RGBS) source to G/Y, R/R-Y, B/B-Y and SYNC

  1. Connect the following acceptors to the SP-10D:

  2. The SPLITTER OUTPUT BNC connector to a composite video display

  3. The Y/C OUTPUT 4-pin connector to an s-Video display
  4. The CV OUTPUT BNC connector to a composite video display
  5. The five BNC OUTPUTS connectors: G/Y, B/B-Y, R/R-Y, Vs/Cs, and Hs/Cs to a video acceptor (for example, a plasma display)

  6. Connect the LOOP BNC connector to the next SP-10D genlocked unit (if required) and release the Term button for looping ^3 .

  7. Connect a genlock source to the SYNC BNC connector.
  8. Connect a PC or other controller, if required (see section 6.1).
  9. Set the DIP-switches (see section 6.2).
  10. Connect the power cord ^4 (not illustrated in Figure 2).

6.1 Connecting a PC

You can connect to the unit via a crossed RS-232 connection, using for example, a PC. A crossed cable or null-modem is required as shown in method A and B respectively. If a shielded cable is used, connect the shield to pin 5.

Method A (Figure 3)—Connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on the unit via a crossed cable (pin 2 to pin 3, pin 3 to pin 2, and pin 5 to pin 5) to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on the PC.

Note: There is no need to connect any other pins.

6 1 7 2 8 3 9 4 5 PC 6 1 7 2 8 3 9 4 5

Figure 3: Crossed Cable RS-232 Connection

Hardware flow control is not required for this unit. In the rare case where a controller requires hardware flow control, short pin 1 to 7 and 8, and pin 4 to 6 on the controller side.

Method B (Figure 4)—Connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on the unit via a straight (flat) cable to the null-modem adapter, and connect the null-modem adapter to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on the PC. The straight cable usually contains all nine wires for a full connection of the D-sub connector. Because the null-modem adapter (which already includes the flow control jumpering described in Method A above) only requires pins 2, 3 and 5 to be connected, you are free to decide whether to connect only these 3 pins or all 9 pins.

7 Operating the SP-10D Digital Video Processor

Operate your SP-10D Digital Video Processor via:

  • The front panel buttons
  • RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or other serial controller

To operate the SP-10D using the front panel buttons, do the following:

  1. Turn on the power and after it has completed its warm up sequence, press the INPUT button to select the source—CV, YC, YUV, or RGB/S—that you want to convert. The appropriate INPUT LED lights (indicating selection and conversion of that source).
  2. When the AUTO button illuminates, the video standard corresponding to the selected input is detected automatically. The appropriate INPUT STANDARD LED lights: PAL B, PAL N, PAL M, NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43 or SECAM ^2 . When the AUTO button does not illuminate—that is, the SP-10D is in manual mode—select the desired video standard by pressing the AUTO button to cycle between the various video standards.
  3. Press the (Component) OUTPUT button to select the component output signal format: YUV, RGsB, or RGBS.
  4. Press the STORE button twice to save the previous selection (power down saving: optional).
  5. Press the STANDARDS button to select the output standard of the composite video signal. The appropriate OUTPUT STANDARDS LED flashes as well as the STORE button. However, the output standard is not altered.

  6. Press the STORE button once.

For 5 seconds no output video signal is available, and “rL” is displayed in the 7-segment display, indicating that the SP-10D is reloading.

After the reloading, the standard of the output video signal changes as well as that of the “Before/after” split-screen.

  1. Press the GENLOCK button to enable the genlock function.

If the SYNC BNC connector ^1 is connected to a genlock source, and the standard of the signal on this input coincides with the standard of the output video signal, the GENLOCK button illuminates. If not, the GENLOCK button flashes.

  1. Adjust the color ^2 , brightness, contrast, hue, sharpness ^3 , H-shift, V-shift ^4 , (Delay, SCH if required for genlock) and/or the video gain of the picture, as follows:

- Press the appropriate button ^5

The button illuminates, and flashes, and the 7-segment display shows the current level (in digits)

The digit “0” corresponds to the normal level (“NORM”)

- Press the + button or – button once to gradually increase or decrease the current level by one unit (the 7-segment display shows the new level).

To increase or decrease the current level rapidly, press and hold down the + button or - button, continuously ^6 . To end the rapid adjustment, release the + button or - button

Note, if you want to:

- Set the normal level (“NORM”) of the current level, press and simultaneously hold down both the + button and – button. The 7-segment display shows “0”

- Undo the adjustment, press the appropriate button one more time. The appropriate button no longer flashes

- Save the result of the adjustment, press the STORE button twice

- Store the result of the adjustment in another setup #, press the STORE button once, select a setup # between 1 and 16 by pressing the + and - buttons, and then press the STORE button once again

If the adjustment is set such that the level setting is at its normal level (“NORM”), the appropriate button no longer illuminates (otherwise this button continues to illuminate in the main mode).

7.1 Storing and Recalling Setups

You can store and recall up to 16 setups (or adjustments) in non-volatile memory, using the STORE and RECALL buttons together with the + and - buttons.

To store ^1 a setup, do the following:

  • Press the STORE button and then select a setup # between 1 and 16 by pressing the + and - buttons (the current settings are saved to that setup #)
  • Press the STORE button once again

To recall a setup, do the following:

  • Press the RECALL button and then select the appropriate # (that corresponds to the setup #) by pressing the + and - buttons (the selected setup is recalled)
  • Press the RECALL button once again

7.2 Locking the Front Panel

To prevent changing the settings unintentionally or tampering with the front panel, lock your SP-10D. Unlocking releases the protection mechanism.

To lock the SP-10D:

- Press the PANEL LOCK button (for about 2 seconds) until it illuminates — freezing the front panel controls. Pressing a button has no effect ^2 , except to cause the PANEL LOCK button to flash ^3 and show the value of a ProcAmp setting if its button is pressed ^4

To unlock the SP-10D:

- Press the PANEL LOCK button (for about 2 seconds) until the front panel controls unlock and the PANEL LOCK button no longer illuminates
