on Hazardous Substances (RoHS)—sets limits on the use of certain substances found in
electrical and electronic equipment. The intent of this legislation is to reduce the amount of
hazardous chemicals that may leach out of landfill sites or otherwise contaminate the
environment during end-of-life recycling. The Directive, which took effect on July 1, 2006,
refers to the following hazardous substances:
 Lead (Pb)
 Mercury (Hg)
 Cadmium (Cd)
 Hexavalent Chromium (Cr-V1)
 Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
 Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)
According to this EU Directive, all products sold in the European Union will be fully
RoHS-compliant and “lead-free.” (See our website for more information on dates and
deadlines for compliance.) Spare parts supplied for the repair and upgrade of equipment
sold before July 1, 2006 are exempt from the legislation. Equipment that complies with the
EU directive will be marked with a RoHS-compliant emblem, as shown in Figure P-1.

1 Introduction
Overview The Selenio X100 is an intelligent dual-channel frame synchronizer and converter. The X100
can operate in a dual- channel mode, or with a single input to two processed outputs, or in
a single-channel linear frame rate converter mode (when the X100OPT-SK-SC software
license key is installed).
The Selenio X100 provides two channels of video synchronization and delay, video up-,
down-, and cross-, aspect ratio conversion, basic frame rate conversion, optional linear
frame rate conversion (single channel), dual video processing amplifiers with color correction
and clipping, and dual logo generator inserters.
Audio processing features include dual channel capacity (total of eight groups with 32 mono
channels of internal processing), audio embedding and de-embedding to and from
Horizontal Ancillary Data (HANC) in the Serial Digital Interface (SD-SDI), 16 AES input /
output ports and eight channels of analog audio input and output with audio
synchronization and delay, gain, invert, and summing. Optional audio processing includes
audio decode and encode, audio up and down mix, and perceptual loudness control.
Input/output signal interfaces on the X100 include those for optional dual analog video,
composite and analog video component, analog audio, SD-SDI video and ancillary data, SFP
for optical and other interfaces, AES unbalanced digital audio, time code, General Purpose
Interface (GPI), and control and monitoring over Ethernet 100BaseT IP. An HDMI output is
provided for monitoring purposes
The X100’s data wrangler feature has the capability to process many metadata types in the
Vertical Ancillary and Vertical Blanking Interval (VANC/VBI). This includes timecode insert/
extract/pass through, closed captioning and teletext subtitling transcoding, processing for
AFD Active Format Description, Video Index (VI), and Wide Screen Signaling (WSS) for aspect
ratio conversion. In addition, the data wrangler processes GPI trigger insertion and
extraction (using SCTE-104 or BT-1685) and pass through for ABC BrandNet, Australian Cue
Data) for automation of remote devices, ARIB audio ID (Japan), SMPTE 352 Payload
Identifier, Dolby Audio Metadata and up to ten user DID/SDID.

Environment Selenio X100 frames are cooled by forced air drawn in from the front of the frame, and
exhausted through vents at the rear of the frame. There must be free passage for air flow
on to allow for adequate ventilation, and an ambient temperature of between 32°F to
104°F (0°C to 40°C) with relative humidity of 10% to 90% non-condensing.
You must provide adequate space behind the mounting ears, and clearance for the
connecting cables at the rear of the frame.

2 Installation
Preparing for Installation

Prior to installing your system, ensure that certain environmental and electrical conditions
are met.
Electrical Requirements
The X100 power supplies have a universal input of 100-240VAC at 47 to 63Hz (nominal),
200W. There is no voltage selector switch.
Each frame has space for two power supplies; however, a single power supply can meet the
requirements of a fully-loaded frame.
Environmental Requirements
Selenio X100 units are cooled by forced air drawn in from the front, and exhausted through
the rear. There must be free passage for air flow at the front and back of each unit to allow
for adequate ventilation. Take care to select a dry, well-ventilated location with a minimum
of dust.
Selenio X100 units are designed for mounting in a standard 19-in. (48-cm) rack using
front-mounting ears and rear support brackets, occupying a 1RU vertical space of 1.75 in.
(4.4 cm).
When installing an Selenio X100 in a rack, ensure that there is adequate space behind the
mounting ears and clearance for the rear connecting cables. Allow about 10 inches (25 cm)
of slack in the rear connecting cables for frame access and maintenance.
After unpacking the frame, and before installing into a console or rack, allow at least 30
minutes for temperatures to equalize and to eliminate any condensation that may have
developed. Selenio X100 frames require an ambient temperature of between 32°F and
104°F (0°C to 40°C) with relative humidity of 10% to 90% non-condensing).
Rack Mounting
Although the pre-installed frame-mounting ears provide the main support for the Selenio
X100 within a rack, you must install arms, brackets, and a cable relief bar at the rear of the
unit to support the weight of cabling and frame stacking.
12 Selenio X100
Installation
The following items are included:
 Rear support arms (164-000306Q00)

 Cable tie bar (164-000305Q00)
 Brackets (164-100556Q00)
 Bracket screws (4-40X1/4 PH_Q)
 Tie bar screws (6-32X3/8 PH)
 Rack Ears (164-100062Q00)
Note: The frame mounting ears and the rack support brackets are reversible. You can install
them with the ears at the front and support brackets at the rear, or with the ears at the rear
and the support brackets at the front.
Figure 2-1 Mounting Ears in Front Position
The following procedure describes how to install the rack supports.
1 Locate the support package in the box, consisting of two support arms, two brackets with
screws, a tie bar, and tie bar screws. (See Figure 2-2.)

 NADITBNC-MX: Female BNC 75 input to male cable end XLR 110 output
Selenio X100 15
Changing Jumper Settings

There are several sets of jumpers on the X100:
 LTC In/ Out (600 or Hi-Z)

 Serial Port Rx/Tx Termination (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485)
 Analog Audio In/Out (600 or Hi-Z)
All of these jumpers are accessible only after the removal of the top cover, as described on
page 148. Follow the markings on the board to set the pins of the jumpers. A white triangle
on the board indicates Pin 1. Ensure that you disconnect both power supplies before
opening the cover.
LTC Output LTC Input
Figure 2-6. LTC In/ Out Jumpers (600 or Hi-Z)
For serial port Rx/Tx termination (Figure 2-7), jumpers are required only when the module is
set to RS-422. As shown in the picture, two jumpers are required. When the module is set
to RS-232 or RS-485, no jumpers are needed.

Configuring Network Settings

When shipped, the Selenio X100 is configured with a default IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway. If you intend to control the unit remotely, or connect it to a network hub/
switch along with other Selenio X100 units, you will need to reconfigure the IP with unique
network settings. Local control (with a direct Ethernet crossover connection to a PC) does
not require any IP configuration.
Supported Network Protocols

The Selenio X100 supports the following network protocols for remote/network control:
 CCS Protocol
 HTTP
 SNMP
Making Required Hardware Connections

If you are connecting an Selenio X100 directly to a PC (no network connection), connect
one end of a crossover Ethernet cable to the Control Ethernet RJ-45 port on the back of
the frame, and the other end to the PC Ethernet port. If you are establishing a network
connection, connect a straight-through 10/100Base-T Ethernet cable between the Selenio
X100 Control Ethernet port and the network hub/switch.
Setting IP and Subnet Mask Addresses

To allow devices to communicate on a network, you need to set all Selenio X100 devices to
the same subnet (network location). When shipped, Selenio X100 units are configured with
the same default IP (device identifier) and subnet addresses. These addresses need to be
changed so that each unit is uniquely identified and the network location of all units is
accurately reflected. An IP address is made up of a four-item set of numbers (octet). The
default (factory-configured) IP address for every Selenio X100 unit is 192.168.100.250. For
a class C network, you must change the first three items in the octet to identify the location
(address) of the unit on your network, and also change the last item in the octet to uniquely
identify the device from other Selenio X100 units.
The default subnet mask address for every Selenio X100 is 255.255.255.0.
Setting the IP Address of a Single Unit with a Local or Remote

Control Panel
Follow these steps to configure the network addresses using a local or remote control
panel:
1 Follow this path: System Config > Setup (in the RCP, select Device Setup).
2 Scroll to the Device IP parameter, and then press Enter.
If this is a new unit being configured, the default IP displays. Otherwise, the current IP
address of the unit displays.
18 Selenio X100
Installation
3 Change the IP address by following these steps:

a Press Enter to navigate to one of the four number sets in the octet.
b Modify the address value by using the scroll knob to set a new number.
c Press Enter to move to the next item in the octet, and then repeat step (b) above.
d Press Exit when you are finished configuring the address.
4 Scroll to the Subnet Mask parameter, and then press Enter.
If this is a new unit being configured, the default subnet mask displays. Otherwise, the
current subnet displays.
5 Repeat the procedure described in step 4, this time for the subnet mask.
6 Scroll to the Gateway parameter, and then press Enter.
If this is a new unit being configured, the default gateway displays. Otherwise, the current
gateway address displays.
7 Repeat the procedure described in step 3, this time for the gateway parameter.
8 Select Save IP, and then press Enter.
9 Select Yes option and then press Enter.
10 Press Exit to return to the Setup menu.
Rebooting the Selenio X100 is not required.
Setting the IP Addresses of Multiple Units

If you have multiple Selenio X100 systems that require network configuration, you will need
to set unique IP addresses and assign a subnet mask and gateway address for each of them
one at a time. The following procedure summarizes the required steps:
1 Apply power to the first Selenio X100 unit with a frame-mounted local control panel.
When ready for configuration, the main Selenio X100 menu shows on the display screen.
2 Configure the network settings for the first Selenio X100, as described in the procedure on
page 17.
3 Restart the Selenio X100 unit.
4 Plug in the next Selenio X100 system, configure its network information, and then restart
the unit.
Follow this procedure for all remaining Selenio X100 units that require configuration.
5 Connect all Selenio X100 systems and remote panels to a network hub or switch using a
10/100Base-T Ethernet cable.
6 Ensure that all configured Selenio X100 units are detected on the network.
To do this, press Remote on the front panel. All Selenio X100 units configured with the
same subnet mask address will display (you will see a list of all detected IP addresses).
If a unit or RCP is not detected, ensure that the subnet mask address is accurate.
Alternatively, confirm that all units were restarted after configuring any network settings.
Selenio X100 19
Changing the PC Network Settings

In unusual situations, such as correcting a failed software upgrade, you may need to change
your PC network settings. Follow these steps to change the settings:
1 Change the IP Address of the PC to match that of the Selenio X100, by following theses
steps:
a Click Start > Settings and then click Control Panel.
This opens the Control Panel window.
b Double-click Network and Dial-up Connections, and then double-click Local Area
Connection.
c Click the General tab, and then click Properties.
This opens a new Local Area Connection Properties window.
d On the General tab, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties...,
ensuring you are working on the correct Ethernet adapter for the CCS network.
The IP Address of the Internet Protocol TCP/IP Properties box appears.
Figure 2-9 shows the portion of the Internet Protocol TCP/IP Properties box where you
enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway of your PC.
e Note whether Obtain an IP address automatically is selected.

You may need to re-select this option later when you revert back to the original PC IP
Address.
f Select Use the following IP address, and in the IP address box, type a new
computer IP Address to match the first three octets of the IP Address of the Selenio
X100, and then add a different fourth octet.
(For example, if the Selenio X100 IP Address is 192.168.100.50, you could type
192.168.100.181).
g In the Subnet Mask field, type: 255.255.255.0
This value applies to Class C IP addresses; confirm the number with your network
administrator.
h Enter the same Default Gateway number as the one on the Selenio X100, or leave
blank.
20 Selenio X100
Installation
i Click OK to close the TCP/IP Properties box, and then close the two Local Area
Connection boxes.
2 Verify the network settings were accepted by following the ipconfig procedure, as described
below:
a Click Start, point to Programs > Accessories and then click Command Prompt to
open the Command Prompt window on the PC.
b Type the following at the MS-DOS command prompt, and then press ENTER:
ipconfig
The IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway of the PC appear. (In some
situations, the Default Gateway value is not shown. See Figure 2-9).

c Write down the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway numbers of your
PC.
d Compare the network numbers of the X100 with the numbers found in step 2c.
In general, the two Subnet Mask and Default Gateway numbers should be identical. The
first three octets of the two IP Addresses also are generally identical. For example, if the
Selenio X100 has an IP Address of 192.168.248.50, the PC could have an IP Address of
192.168.248.181.
3 If the network settings match, click Close.
Note: Where more than one network is involved and the Point-to-Point option has been
selected (see CCS Navigator online help), the network address values may be entirely
different.

Installation
Preparing for Remote Control via Control Panel

Control panels remotely control Selenio X100 units via broadcast. You will need to
configure the switchers and routers in your network accordingly.
Follow these steps to prepare your Selenio X100 models for remote control:
1 Reconfigure each Selenio X100 with unique IP addresses and other appropriate network
settings, including shared subnet mask addresses.
See Setting IP and Subnet Mask Addresses on page 17 for details.
2 Restart each Selenio X100, and then wait 20 seconds to allow for network detection.
3 Connect all Selenio X100 units to a TCP/IP-based network hub or switch using 10/
100Base-T Ethernet cable.
4 Discover all units found on the network, and then select the one you wish to control.
Selecting a Remote Unit to Control

You can remotely control all Selenio X100 units that share the same subnet. Follow these
steps:
1 Ensure all connections and network settings have been made.

2 On the Selenio X100, press the Remote button to bring up a list of available units for
control (see Figure 2-12).
Figure 2-12 List of Systems Available for Remote Control
The <local device > option shown on-screen represents the unit you are using (the local
unit that is in front of you), and is always available on this list. An asterisk (*) beside the
name indicates that this is the remote system currently being controlled by the panel.
Note: Instead of IP addresses, you can give alphabetical names to individual Selenio X100
units that will appear in the list. To do this, see the Machine Name parameter.
3 Use the control knob to scroll through the list of available Selenio X100 devices, highlight
the unit you wish to control, and then press Enter.
The Selenio X100 screen reads Connecting...
4 Wait a few moments.

The menu of the selected Selenio X100 unit appears along with all of that unit’s settings.
5 Operate the selected unit as required.

Selenio X100 23
Once a unit is selected for remote control, all front panel features operate as if you were
actually at the front panel of the selected remote unit. This means that the VFD panel,
status indicators, and buttons (with the exception of the Remote and Option button) all
control and/or reflect the status of the remote unit, not the one you are physically
operating.
Note: The light on the Remote button flashes while the unit is remotely controlling a
device.
6 To switch to another unit, or to control the local device you are physically operating, press
the Remote button, and then select a new device to control.
7 Select <local device > to resume normal single-unit operation.
Configuring for Web Browser Control

The control interface allows up to 10 simultaneous monitoring connections. Each
connection shows device fault and parameter information. When a change occurs to a
device, such as a fault or a parameter change, that change will appear on the monitoring
screens of other users.
Note: Navigator versions 4.6 and above do not support a specific GUI for the X100.
Instead, a Silverlight web server launches when you click on a code-updated X100 in
Navigator.
System Requirements for Device Monitoring

The computer used to monitor and control an Selenio X100 must meet or exceed the
following hardware and software requirements:
 An Selenio X100 frame installed and connected to the LAN

 A PC connected to a LAN with:
 Operating System: Windows 7,Windows Vista; Windows XP Service Pack 2
 Intel® Pentium® III 450MHz or faster processor (or equivalent)
 A minimum of 128MB of RAM
 A standard crossover or straight-through100 Mbps 100Base-T RJ-45 Ethernet cable to
connect to a PC (the frame auto-detects the cable type)
 JavaScript enabled web browser; for best results use Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0
 Silverlight version 4.0
 Quicktime version 7.6.8
Initial Configuration
Before you can connect to an Selenio X100 using a web browser, you must configure the IP
address of the frame. Follow these steps:
1 Connect one end of a crossover or passthrough cable to the Ethernet port on the front of
the Selenio X100, and then connect the other end of the cable to a PC with the required
software.
24 Selenio X100
Installation
The frame automatically detects the cable type and assigns an IP address to the computer
so that they are on the same subnet. You can also set the IP address on the frame itself if
the frame has a front control panel.
2 Launch a browser and type anything in the address bar.

The Selenio X100 control interface appears.
3 Select Configuration and ensure that the Frame Controller is selected in the tree view at
the left of the screen.
4 On the Frame Control Panel, select General.
5 On the Basic screen, enter an IP address for the frame.
The IP address should be consistent with your network’s configuration. For more
information, contact your network administrator.
6 Connect the Selenio X100 to a hub on your network.

7 Follow the instructions in Logging In To the Selenio X100 Control Interface.
Logging In To the Selenio X100 Control Interface

To open a browser connection to an Selenio X100, follow these steps:
1 In your browser, enter the IP address of the Selenio X100, and then click Enter to connect.
If the Selenio X100 is in a failed state (i.e., disconnected), then you will see a “browser
cannot display the page” or “browser could not connect” message.
2 Enter a defined user name and password.

The default user name is Administrator, and by default there is no password (leave the field
blank).
3 Click Enter.
The Selenio X100 control interface appears.
The number of PCs connected to the Selenio X100 has an impact on receiving data in a
timely fashion. If a large number of users are logged into the frame, response time may
become slower. Up to ten separate PCs can be connected to the Selenio X100 at any one
time. If additional users attempt to connect to the Selenio X100, they will receive a
message:
Server Busy. Please try again later.
When you are not actively using the interface, please log off out of the system.
Note: The IP address is assigned to the frame, not the Controller module. When you
change Controller modules, you should not have to reassign the IP address.
Exiting the Control Interface

To log off the Selenio X100 control interface, do one of the following:
 Close your browser.

 Navigate to a different page in your browser.
 Click Logout in the top right corner of the control panel
Selenio X100 25
Accessing MIBs and Configuring SNMP Support

MIB files for the X100 can be downloaded directly from any X100 frame. Before
downloading X100 MIBs, you must first download the InfrastructureNetwork.mib file. Copy
the following into a browser to access the InfrastructureNetwork.mib:
http://<IP address>/InfrastructureNetwork29286.mib
<IP address> is that of the X100
Once any MIB file is downloaded from the frame, you should rename it immediately to
prevent overwriting.
To download an X100 MIB file, copy this line into a browser:
http://<IP address>/X100.mib
The required SNMP Agent settings are as follows:
 Location—A text string that indicates the location of the device.

 SNMP Community String—The setting here must match that in a MIB browser in
order for the two devices to share information.
You can define ten trap destinations, as follows:
 SNMP Dest Desc—Description of the host to which SNMP trap messages will be sent.
 SNMP IP Address—If non-zero, specifies the IP address of a host to which SNMP trap
messages will be sent.
Default IP Address
The default IP address of an X100 is: 192.168.100.250.

All outputs carry the converted program signal or a frame sync signal. Conversion is
automatic, based on your selected output video standard; the converted program signal
carries the following:
 Embedded audio
 ARC data (WSS/VI/AFD)
 CC/TT
 BrandNet
 Timecode
 Closed captioning
 Lidia
 SCTE-104
 BT-1685
 ARIB
 Cue data

Output Frame Rate

The Output Frame Rate control enables basic automatic frame rate conversion (FRC).
(A higher quality linear frame rate converter is also available by switching to the Linear FRC
mode, found at Video Output and Routing > Operation Mode. The Linear FRC requires
the purchase of the X100OPT-SK-SC. See page 32)
Using the basic automatic Output Frame Rate, audio/video alignment is variable ±1 frame.
There must be a valid reference available for the selected output standard. If the input
signal has a different frame rate from the output frame rate, the FRC is enabled
automatically. In this mode, two independent channels are operating at the same time. One
or both of the channels can be used for frame rate conversion.
Options for the Output Frame Rate parameter are Follow Ref (auto detection of external
genlock source), 29/59 Hz, 25/50 Hz, and 30/60 Hz.
30 Selenio X100
Output Routing
The Output Routing parameters assign the SDI outputs to their processing channels.
The SDI x Out Select parameters control which video channel is assigned to the four SDI
outputs. Options are Processing Channel 1 (default) Processing Channel 2, Processing
Channel 1 + OSD, and Processing Channel 2 + OSD.
The same options are available using the SFP x Out Select, HDMI Out Select, and Analog
x Out Select parameters.
Note: External video inputs and outputs can be disabled by the Green (Power Save)
control located in the Miscellaneous section. If an external video control is grayed out in
the user interface, check its power save status.

is the main center image; the input to channel two provides the “wings”.This option is
useful, for example, in applications where upconversion of SD-SDI 4:3 content is being
performed, and insertion of additional content is required in the 16:9 upconverted image
raster's sidebars.
To set up the Live I-Wings feature, follow these steps:
1 Set the ARC parameters as required.

Live I-Wings will only appear in the background area. Therefore, ARC settings that are
anamorphic will block I-Wings from appearing.

Converter Fast Switch

The Converter Fast Switch mode makes it possible to switch between an HD-SDI signal
and an SD-SDI signal without sync problems. To enable this feature, select Video > Video
Output and Routing > Operation Mode > Converter Fast Switch. Then select your
input standards in Fast Switch Input HD Std Sel and Fast Switch Input SD Std Sel.
To use Converter Fast Switch mode, the same external video source will be routed to both
Processing Channel 1 and Processing Channel 2. The external video source can only be
switched between the selected Fast Switch Input HD Std Sel and Fast Switch Input SD
Std Sel. Internally, Processing Channel 1 is prepared to receive the selected HD signal, and
Processing Channel 2 is prepared to receive the selected SD-SDI signal. When the external
video source is switched to an HD-SDI signal, Processing Channel 1 is activated and
switched into. When the external video source is switched to a SD-SDI signal, Processing
Channel 2 is then activated and switched into.
Note: In Converter Fast Switch mode only a single output format is available for selection
for all SDI outputs.
When the X100 is in Converter Fast Switch mode, the Frame Delay, H-Phase, and
V-Phase for processing channel 2 must follow the Frame Delay, H-Phase and V-Phase
settings of Processing Channel 1. Once enabled, Converter Fast Switch takes effect in
70 ms + the existing frame delay.
This feature functions differently than the Frame Sync Fast Switch on page 36.
32 Selenio X100
Linear FRC (Frame Rate Conversion)

This feature is an optional high-quality frame rate converter that supplements the X100’s
basic automatic FRC. To use Linear FRC, the X100OPT-SK-SC softkey option must be
purchased.
When the X100 is in Linear FRC, it is reduced to single path functionality; channel 2
processing is disabled. (A block diagram with a single processing channel will appear in the
user interface.) During this time, the same frame rate video can continue to pass through.
The following video formats are supported in Linear FRC mode for inputs and outputs:
 59Hz: 525, 720p59, 1080p29, 1080i59, 1080p59, 1080p59DL

 50Hz: 625, 720p50, 1080p25, 1080i50, 1080p50, 1080p50DL
 60Hz: 720p60, 1080p30, 1080i60, 1080p60, 1080p60DL
Note: To activate Linear Frame Rate Conversion, the X100 must be rebooted.
Audio/Video Delay in Linear FRC Mode

When the input and output frame rates are different, the audio and video delay cannot be
perfectly matched to achieve proper lip sync. However, because of the nature of FRC, there
are worst-case boundaries for the audio/video delay. The worst-case audio delays relative to
the video are the following:
 5 ms of leading audio
 15 ms of lagging audio
These worst-case boundaries cover all of the supported video format conversions.
Profanity (Program) Delay

The Profanity or program Delay feature requires the installation of an optional
X100OPT-MEMMOD8GB or X100OPT-MEMMOD16GB memory submodule, in addition to
an optional X100OPT-SK-PD software key. (Installation instructions for the memory modules
are found on page 162) In dual-channel applications, two softkeys are required. The two
processing channels are able to operate delay modes independently.
Both the program delay and the logo generator inserter can be used at the same time.
However, the 16 GB memory makes it possible to use longer animated logos. See page 56
for details.
The Selenio X100 Delays Table (a separate document available on our website) shows the
software keys and memory submodule required for each configuration. In addition, the
table lists the maximum program delay, and the animated logo duration available per
channel, in each configuration.
Other operations that use the program delay feature include Individual Channel Delay
Mode and Local-to-Remote Timing.
Profanity Delay Mode

Using the Profanity Delay Mode, a “non-delayed” version of the program signal is sent to
the master control operator who has the option to “bail-out” and select a backup signal to
take to air, if a program signal contains profane images or audio (Figure 3-3).

Feed the backup or “bail-out” source to the secondary channel (Proc Ch 2 Source).
Or
Convert a trouble slide to a logo (see Logo Generation and Insertion on page 56 for
details) and then upload the logo to the X100, enabling it in the second channel as an
alternate bail-out source.
2 Set the desired profanity delay value using Video Output and Routing > Program Delay
> Delay Channel 1.
3 Once you have set the profanity delay value, the following three options are available:
 Processing Channel 1 (delayed program content is routed to the master control
switcher, for example)
 Processing Channel 2 (backup, bailout or trouble slide)
 Processing Channel 1 Undelayed + On-Screen Display (to the master control operator's
picture monitor, for example)
Note: In profanity delay mode, on-screen display is only available on the non-delayed
channel.
To switch the delayed program content over to the backup (or bail-out) source or trouble
slide, toggle Video Output and Routing > Program Delay > Profanity Bail Out to Yes.
This action switches all physical video outputs that are connected to Processing Channel 1
(the delayed program content) to Processing Channel 2 (the backup, bailout or trouble
slide).
Individual Channel Delay Mode (Dual Channel Mode)

To configure the X100 to operate in individual channel delay mode, set the Operation
Mode to Dual Channel. Depending on whether you have one or two X100OPT-SK-PD
software keys, the Delay Channel control slide bar is then enabled for each channel. The
resolution for the channel delay is displayed in frames; the maximum duration is dependent
on the configuration shown in the Selenio X100 Delays Table.
34 Selenio X100
Local-to-Remote Timing
In Local-to-Remote Timing, local video is synchronized to incoming decompressed video—
which normally has long GOP encoding, and a very long propagation delay resulting from
the MPEG encode/decode process. The X100 can overcome these synchronization problems
by aligning local content with the incoming remote content so that master control
switching is frame-accurate (Figure 3-4).

1 At Video Input Control and Status > Input Routing, feed the local program content into
the primary channel (Proc Ch 1 Source).
2 Feed the remote program content (long GOP MPEG decoded signal) to the secondary
channel (Proc Ch 2 Source).
3 Adjust the slider at Video Output and Routing > Program Delay > Delay Channel 1
until the output local content and the remote content are aligned.
Output channel 1 now contains the timed local program content and channel 2 contains
the timed remote program content.

Video Sync and Delay
Input Standard Select

The Selenio X100 sets the video delay automatically (using the Auto option of the Input
Standard Select parameter), or the it can use the standard you set manually as the
reference. The following standards are available:
Table 3-4 Input Standard Select Parameters

525 1080i/60 1080p/30 1080p/59.94
625 1080i/50 1080PsF/23.98 1080p/60

1080i/59.94 1080p/29.97 1080PsF/30 1080p/50 DL
Frame Sync Frozen, Force Black, Force Freeze, and Freeze Mode
In addition to the video delay added by the Input Standard Select parameter, you can also
adjust the timing of the signal using the Frame Delay, Horizontal Phase, and Vertical
Phase parameters.
The read-only Frame Sync Frozen parameter reports whether or not the frame sync output
is frozen. Force Black forces the output video to black and similarly, Force Freeze forces
the output video to freeze. The LOV Mode parameter makes it possible to control the
behavior of the frame sync in the event of a loss of video. Options for LOV Mode are: Pass,
Freeze (default), or Black. The Freeze Mode parameter allows you to select the timing
when the frame sync freezes the output. Options for Freeze Mode are: Field 1 (default),
Field 2, or Frame.
Frame Delay
The Frame Delay parameter compensates for other external processes by providing a delay
in one-frame increments. This delay is in terms of input units. For example, if the input
format is SD-SDI, the delay is in terms of 525/625 frames. Use this control to adjust the
delay of the frame sync as follows:
 0 to 37 frames (SD-525)
 0 to 32 frames (SD-625)
 0 to 27 frames (1080i/59.94, 1080p/23.98, 1080p/59.94, 1080p/29.97, 1080psf/
23.98, 1080psf/29.97, 1080i/60, 1080p/60, 1080i/50, 1080p/25, 1080p/50, 1080p/
24, 1080p/30, 1080psf/24, 1080psf/25, 1080psf/30)
 0 to 57 frames (720p/59.94, 720p/60, 720p/50)
 0 to 13 frames (1080p/59.94 DL, 1080p/60 DL, 1080p/50 DL)
36 Selenio X100
Actual Video Delay Used

The read-only Actual Video Delay Used parameter reports the actual video delay in
frames, based on the cumulative number of frames derived from the delay parameters
found in the Video Sync and Delay controls.
Frame Sync Fast Switch

The Frame Sync Fast Switch mode is located at Video > Processing Channel 1/2 >
Video Sync and Delay 1/2. This feature works the same as a line synchronizer, in that
when there are two inputs that are locked, timed, and switched into the frame sync, there
will not be a frame freeze on the output. However, when the Frame Sync Fast Switch is
enabled, the inputs do not have to be locked. If the two inputs happen to be within a few
lines of when the switch takes place, there will be no freeze on the output.
Because the switching happens in the VBI in Frame Sync Fast Switch mode, this feature
should not be enabled for video with embedded non-PCM audio such as Dolby. Otherwise
glitches will occur during the switch.
Audio/Video Align
On its own, the Sample Rate Conversion block adds delay, relative to the video signal. To
correct this synchronization problem, the Video Sync and Delay > Audio/Video Align
parameter adds a fixed delay to the video processing path. Select Yes to enable this
feature.adjust all of the options of a particular group in tandem, rather than separately.
Analog Input Control (Video)

The optional X100OPT-AVIO module provides dual-channel analog video input and output
processing.
When the X100OPT-AVIO softkey is installed, the X100 supports the following different
types of analog video inputs: Composite, CAV (RGB), CAV (YPrPb-SMPTE), and CAV
(YPrPb-Betacam)).
You must select the proper video type to decode by choosing the type in Video > Analog
Input Control > A to D 1/2 > Analog Input Type. If the input video contains pedestal,
you may set the Analog Input Pedestal parameter to Yes for proper luma level scaling.
You may also enable 3D comb filtering by setting the 3D Comb Decoding parameter. The
X100also supports time base correction for low- quality input video feeds from sources such
as VTRs or DVD players. To enable time base correction, set Analog TBC to On. You must
also set the Loss of Video parameter to TBC for bad quality video. Otherwise the frame
sync may freeze occasionally. For good quality video, set the Loss of Video parameter to
Normal.
White slope and black stretch are controlled in the Color Corrector section (page 37).
Selenio X100 37
Note: The Selenio X100 accepts PAL-M composite video that complies to ITU-R BT.470-6
standard (with burst amplitude of 300mV), as well as a variant that is used commonly in
Brazil (with burst amplitude of 287mV). Ensure that you select the correct PAL-M standard
for detection. An incorrect standard setting will distort the color level of the video. To select
the PAL-M standard for detection, follow Misc > Others >PAL-M Standard, and then
select either Brazil (default) or ITU-BT470-6.
Analog Output Control (Video)

When the X100OPT-AVIO softkey is installed, the X100 supports the following types of
analog video outputs:
 Composite (NTSC) only for 59Hz output formats

 Composite (PAL-B) only for 50Hz output formats
 Composite (PAL-M) only for 59Hz output formats
 CAV (RGB)
 CAV (YPrPb-SMPTE)
 CAV (YPrPb-Betacam)
To provide analog video output, you must select a value at Video > Analog Output
Control > A to D 1/2 > Analog Output Type. To enable pedestal, set the Analog Output
Pedestal parameter to Yes. You may also enable Super Black encoding by selecting Super
Black > Enable. Otherwise, any luma level below black will be clamped to black at the
output. The X100 supports fine phase adjustment for composite video output. You may
adjust the subcarrier phase over a full subcarrier cycle by setting Fine Phase Enable to Yes,
and changing the Fine Phase Delay and Composite Output Pixel Delay parameters.
Note: When Fine Phase is enabled, the output and reference composite standards must
match, to avoid output video distortion
Video ProcAmp and Color Corrector

This control block includes parameters for the video proc amp, hard clip control, legalizer.
and color corrector.
Proc Amp
These parameters make it possible to modify the black level, luma gain, chroma gain, and
hue.
Clip Control
Y, composite, and GBR levels are adjustable using the parameters in the Clip Control
group. Y levels are enabled and set using White and Black clipping controls. Using the
following composite video clipping parameters, you can limit the values of luma, Cb and Cr
before the signal is converted by the analog video encoder.
38 Selenio X100
 Cmpst Clip Enable (default is No)

 Cmpst Clip Luma Min (-47.9 mV to 47.9 mV, default is 0.0 mV)
 Cmpst Clip Luma Max (636.8 mV to 763.1 mV, default is 700.0 mV)
 Cmpst Clip Cb Min (-380.0 mV to -320.0 mV, default is -380.0 mV)
 Cmpst Clip Cb Max (320.0 mV to 380.0 mV, default is 380.0 mV)
 Cmpst Clip Cr Min (-380.0 mV to -320.0 mV, default is -380.0 mV)
 Cmpst Clip Cr Max (320.0 mV to 380.0 mV, default is 380.0 mV)
GBR levels can be limited by using the GBR Legalizer Enable, in coordination with the
GBR Legalizer Min and GBR Legalizer Max parameters.
Color Corrector
The color corrector changes the following RGB attributes of an input signal:
 Gain
 Offset
 White Slope
 Black Stretch
 Gamma Correction
These parameters include “lock” options that make it possible for you to adjust all of the
options of a particular group in tandem, rather than separately.
White slope and black stretch are controlled in the Color Corrector section.
The white slope is comprised of G White Knee, B White Knee, R White Knee, and GBR
White Knee Lock. Black Stretch includes G Black Knee, B Black Knee, R Black Knee,
and GBR Black Knee Lock.
Component knees determine the amount of additional gain applied to segments at the
ends of the RGB transfer functions in the look-up tables.
The values displayed are a percent of the available correction. A positive white knee
increases the slope of the last 15% of RGB values, and decreases the slope of the preceding
15%. A positive black knee parameter will increase the slope of the first 15% of the
transfer function by the amount entered and decrease the slope of the next 15%, to return
to the unmodified transfer function. Each component knee is added to the total knee (the
sum cannot exceed 100%) to produce the correction applied to the respective component.

Conversion and Advanced Video Processing

Aspect ratio conversion is an important part of video format conversion. The X100 supports
basic pre-defined arcing controls, custom preset arcing control, code-based automatic arc
control, and a highly-configurable ARC code-based table. See page 46 regarding the use of
aspect ratio conversion and AFD codes, including graphical representations of ARC and AFD
patterns.
Status
These read-only parameters report on the ARC mode, offsets, scale, left and right crop,
AFD, and VI of the conversion processing.
AFD Presence and Output

The X100 can perform the following functions with AFD:
 Replace the AFD of an incoming stream with a different set of AFD code generated by
the module
 Insert new AFD where it currently does not exist, and output a signal that includes
newly-created AFD
 If the incoming signal contains AFD, the module can replace the existing AFD code with
updated ARC information
 Create custom AFD rules for non-standard aspect ratio changes
ARC Control
Mode
Depending on the current input/output video standard setting, the X100 operates in one of
the following modes: Up, Down, Cross, SD-ARC, and Current. The current operating
mode is shown in the ARC Mode Fb parameter in the Status menu.
When input video standards or output video standards change, the X100 may switch to a
different conversion mode, and the required ARC setting may be different. For this reason,
the X100 options are set according to the conversion mode, and you can pre-configure the
settings for each mode. When mode switching happens, settings will always take effect
immediately.
ARC Control
You can set the output in a particular conversion mode by selecting either a standard ARC
setting, or one of your own customized preset ARC settings, with an automatic ARC that
follows the ARC code embedded in the video.
Set ARC Control > ARC Control to one of the following selections:
 Anamorphic
 4:3 Pillar Box
42 Selenio X100
 14:9 Pillar Box

 16:9 Cut
 4:3->21:9 Ltr
 16:9 Letter Box
 14:9 Letter Box
 4:3 Cut
 16:9->21:9 Ltr
 Custom Up/Down/Cross ARC 1-5
 AFD
 AFD-ALTR
 AFD-Custom Map
SD Width
In some regions, SD-SDI normal analog blanking is not part of the 4:3 active video area,
causing the 4:3 image to have an active video length of 702 (PAL/625) or 704 (NTSC/525)
instead of 720. In these situations, the ARC will need adjustments. Use the SDF Width
parameter to select whether to ignore SD nominal analog blanking. Options are 720
(default) and 702 (PAL) / 704 (NTSC).
AFD Crop Enable

This control enables the cropping function in the AFD control (an AFD option must first be
selected in the ARC Control field). Options are Yes and No.
SD Out Aspect Ratio

Use this parameter to set the aspect ratio of the SD-SDI output when ARC Control > Mode
is set to SD-ARC. Options are 4:3 and 16:9.
AFD-VI-WSS Insertion
The presence of incoming embedded AFD, VI, and WSS data is shown the Status
parameters. AFD, VI and WSS data can be passed from input to output, or it can be
generated manually or automatically by the Selenio X100. This function is controlled by the
AFD-VI-WSS Insertion options.
The AFD, VI, and WSS Insert parameters also offer the ability to Remove the code.
Mode
Set the Current Mode if you want to work in the current conversion mode that you are
already using, rather than setting a specific up, down or cross mode.
Selenio X100 43
AFD/VI/WSS Insert
The Pass option allows the incoming AFD code to be inserted unmodified. This option is
only supported in SD-ARC and crossconversion modes. In up- or downconversion modes,
the Pass option is equivalent to a loss of code, even when an input code is present. When a
loss of code occurs, the X100 will insert your selection from the AFD/VI/WSS Pass on Loss
parameters.
If you select Remove, no code is generated. The original input code is removed, except for
the following:
 WSS in line 23
 All codes in proc bypass mode.
When you select the Auto option, the X100 generates code automatically and inserts it.
The code can be generated in one of the following scenarios:
 A standard or custom aspect ratio is selected, and the corresponding AFD, VI, or WSS
code is inserted.
 The ARC Control parameter is set to AFD, AFD-ALTR, VI, VI-ALTR, WSS, or WSS-ALTR,
and the generated output code is based on input code according to the alternate
implementations of the standard.
 The ARC Control parameter is set to AFD-Custom Map, VI-Custom Map or WSS -
Custom Map, and the output code is generated from the custom map settings.
When you select Custom AFD Map, the output code is generated according to the custom
map table.
AFD/VI/WSS Pass On Loss

This parameter controls the passing behavior if the AFD, VI, or WSS signal is lost.
AFD-VI-WSS Custom Mapping

Using the controls in AFD-VI-WSS Custom Mapping, you can define a special mapping
table other than the one specified by a standard. Given any input AFD, VI or WSS code, you
can define the aspect ratio behavior and output AFD, VI and WSS code independently.
Custom ARC
The parameters of Custom ARC make it possible to scale and pan the output image to any
size and location. These parameters include: Horizontal Offset, Vertical Offset,
Horizontal Scale, Vertical Scale, Crop Left, Crop Right, Crop Top, and Crop Bottom.
By recalling a standard aspect ratio or a pre-defined custom aspect ratio preset, you can
individually modify—or batch-modify—these parameters.
Live Edit View

The Live Edit View feature makes it possible to visually align various parameters. Select On
to activate immediate ARC output changes.
44 Selenio X100
Mode
Depending on the current input/output video standard setting, the X100 operates in one of
four modes: upconversion, crossconversion, downconversion, or SD-ARC. The current
operating mode is shown in the ARC Mode Fb parameter in the Status menu.
When input video standard or output video standards change, the X100 may switch to a
different conversion mode, and the required ARC setting may be different. For this reason,
the options are set according to the conversion mode, and you can pre-configure the
settings for each mode. When mode switching happens, settings will always take effect
immediately.
Save ARC
Use these presets for saving custom ARC settings. You can save five presets for each type of
conversion (up, cross, down, etc.).
Recall ARC
This parameter recalls a pre-existing ARC setting.
Custom AFD and Custom VI

This parameter sets the AFD and VI codes associated with a custom defined arc setting.
Options are:
 None (default)

General Information on ARC and AFD
AFD (Active Format Description)

Active Format Description (AFD) transmits data in the VANC portion of the SDI signal,
enabling both 4:3 and 16:9 television monitors to optimally present video with preset ARC
and safe area information. Without AFD, converted video may appear distorted or “cut off”
when it appears on different monitors. The Selenio X100 can encode or decode AFD; it can
also encode or decode earlier Video Index (VI) and Wide Screen Signaling (WSS) formats.
AFD/ARC Alignment
When you use AFD to select your aspect ratio, the X100 ensures that the AFD codes and
associated image will remain in sync. For example, during a hotswitch, the new ARC will
only be applied to the new image. There are a few cases which could cause AFD/ARC
misalignment:
 The ARC applied is reducing the image vertically such that the new image is less than
60% of the original image.
 The output standard is set to either 1080p/23.98 or 1080p/29.97.
Figure 3-8 shows two comparisons of a signal that is encoded with AFD and without AFD.

The AFD feature includes SD-SDI and HD-SDI configurations. Figure 3-11 on page 49
describes the SD-SDI AFD configurations; Figure 3-12 on page 50 describes the HD-SDI
AFD configurations.
AFD, VI, and WSS-Based Aspect Ratio Control

When you set the ARC Control parameter to follow the aspect ratio codes (AFD,
AFD-ALTR, AFD-Custom Map, VI, VI-ALTR, VI-Custom Map, WSS, WSS-ALTR, and
WSS-Custom Map), the aspect ratio control is based on input AFD, VI, or WSS code.
AFD-Custom Map, VI-Custom Map, and WSS-Custom Map make it possible for you to
perform automatic aspect ratio conversions based on the custom defined mapping table.
The other options set the ARC to an existing standard. When the input code is missing, the
ARC behavior is defined by Loss of AFD ARC, Loss of VI ARC or Loss of WSS ARC. Only
one of these options is be enabled at any one time.
Though they are not widely used, some AFD, VI or WSS codes recommend cropping part of
the image. When this type of cropping is enabled, the X100 will take longer to change ARC
modes. To create faster ARC transitions, you can disable the cropping using the AFD Crop
Enable parameter in ARC Control.
When the ARC is based on AFD, VI, or WSS, and the output standard is SD-SDI, you must
set the SD Out Aspect Ratio (either 4:3 or 16:9) to ensure you use the correct mapping
table.

Scalar Configuration
These parameters provide a number of controls to optimize your custom ARC settings.
Scalar Config
Fill Color sets the background color that may appear around the perimeter of a scaled
image. Options are:
 Black (default)
 Super-Black
 Red 50%
 Green 50%
 Blue 50%
 Orange 50%
 Grey 50%
 Grey 40%
 Grey 25%
Vertical and Horizontal Bandwidth

These two parameters adjust bandwidth for the scalar in a range from -50 to 50 (default is
0).
NR Enable, Mosquito NR, Block Artifact NR, and Noise Reduction

NR Enable activates all of the noise reduction parameters (default option is No).
Mosquito NR reduces the “buzzy” edges that may be seen when video has passed
through the MPEG compression/decompression (encode/decode) process.
Similarly, the Block Artifact NR reduces “cockiness” that may be seen when video has
passed through the MPEG compression/decompression (encode/decode) process.
Noise Reduction controls the total amount of all noise reduction controls (picture may
become softer as this is increased).
All of these parameters have a scale of 0 to 1000; the default is 0.
Sharpness Level and Sharpness Overshoot

The Sharpness Level parameter is used in conjunction with the Noise Reduction control
to provide enhancement on large edges.
Sharpness Overshoot is used in conjunction with the Sharpness Level control for
enhancement of large edges.
56 Selenio X100
Texture Level and Texture Overshoot

The Texture Level parameter is used in conjunction with the Noise Reduction control to
provide enhancement on small edges.
Texture Overshoot is used in conjunction with the Texture Level to provide

enhancement on small edges.
Noise Adaptation
This parameter sets the noise adaptation threshold for sharpness and texture enhancement.
It controls the noise reduction setting in conjunction with the motion in the video signal, on
a scale of 0 to 1000.
Film Mode Enable

Use this parameter to enable cadence detection and “film mode” video processing.
Logo Generation and Insertion

The Selenio X100 provides logo generation, static on-screen logo insertion, and animated
on-screen logo insertion.This feature requires an optional 8 GB or 16 GB memory module
(X100OPT-MEMMOD8GB or X100OPT-MEMMOD16GB, respectively); and an
X100OPT-SK-ALG software key license. For dual-channel logo generation and insertion, two
softkeys are required.
The memory module is shared with the X100’s program delay feature. Both the program
delay and the logo generator can be used at the same time. However, the 16 GB memory
makes it possible to use longer animated logos.
Static logos used by the X100 are in the .mg2 file format. Starting from release 2.0, with
additional memory module installed, the X100 provides on-screen animated logo insertion
capability. Animated logos used by the X100 are stored in the VIA 2.0 file format with file
extension.via.
Logo files must be loaded into the X100 before they can be displayed. There are two
storage locations: the main board (up to 10MB), and the optional memory module (16 GB).
Main board storage location is used to store files for static logo display only; the memory
module location stores both static and animated logos.
To load a logo file into the system, follow these steps:
1 On the Configuration page, select Logo Management.

2 Click the Upload button to select the file for previewing and uploading.
3 To upload file into the optional memory module, select the MemoryModuleLogos
sub-directory.
4 Click Upload.
When a memory module and its accompanying license keys are installed, additional
animated logo related controls are then enabled.
Selenio X100 57
Note: Logos are loaded sequentially. Thus, the 2nd channel logo won't begin loading until
the 1st channel logo file and its control are first loaded.
Installing and Displaying Logo Files

To load a logo file into main board storage, follow Logo x > Select File, and then select
Logo Enable > On. This triggers the appearance of the logo; large animated logos will not
appear immediately.
When Yes is selected in the Memory Module Logo Support parameter, the optional
memory module is activated for stored static and animated logo files. The read-only File
Status parameter reports one of the following conditions:
 N/A
 Valid
 File Not Found
 I/O Error
 Image Too Large
 Animated Image Not Supported
 Loading File
 Loading Aborted
The Logo Enable parameter activates the channel's logo inserter. Transparency modifies
the amount of transparency of the logo, on a scale of 0 to 255. The X Position and Y
Position parameters set the position of the logo on the x and y axis.
As its name suggests, the Fade In Duration parameter controls the amount of fade in and
fade out step duration when enabling and disabling logo.
Animated Logo Repeat Mode controls whether to repeatedly display the logo indefinitely
or repeat it a fixed number of times. The Animated Logo Repeat Time parameter controls
the number of times the logo repeats before it disappears.
Basic Steps to Create Animated Logo Files

Animated logo files require the use of Adobe® After Effects® software. Follow these steps
to create animated logo files:
1 Go to www.adobe.com, and then download and install the Adobe After Effects or Creative
Cloud 30-day free trial.
2 Download the matching version .via plugin from https://files.imaginecommunications.com
3 Extract the downloaded .via plugin package, and then follow the installation instructions
(see the excerpt below).
4 Using the After Effects application and the via plugin, generate your .via graphics files.
Creating a .via File

Follow these steps to create a .via file for use as an animated logo:
1 Make a composition in After Effects CS6 or Creative Cloud.

2 Select Composition > Add to Render Queue.
58 Selenio X100
3 Click the Render Settings.

4 In the Render Settings dialog box, select one of the options below and then click OK.
 For .via files used in InfoCaster:
 Select Off for the Field Render option in the Time Sampling section.
 Set the frame rate to 60 fps.
 For .via files used in IconStation, G-Scribe, TitleOne, TitleMotion GS, or Channel ONE,
Selenio X100 requires the appropriate Field Render option:
 For HD or PAL .via files, select Upperfield.
The resulting .via file is exported at 25 fps.
 For NTSC .via files, select Lowerfield.
The resulting .via file is exported at 29.97 fps.
5 Click the Output Module Settings.
6 In the Output Module Settings dialog box, select the following output options for the .via
file, and then click OK.
 From the Format menu, select Inscriber .via.
 From the Channels menu, select RGB+Alpha.
 From the Color menu, select either Matted (pre-multiplied) or Unmatted
(straight).
 If necessary, use the Resizing and Crop panels to modify the way the .via is
exported.
7 Set the Audio Output to one of the following values to export a sidecar audio .wav file for
your .via file (optional).
 On: A sidecar audio file is always exported.
 Auto: A sidecar audio file is only exported if the composition has audio elements.
The audio file is exported to the same location as the .via, and it uses the same
filename.
8 In After Effects, under the Output options, enter a name and location for the rendered .via
file.
9 Click Render to render the VIA file to the entered location.
Basic Steps to Create Static Logo Files

If you are starting with existing graphics files, these basic steps are described in the
following pages:
1 Install the LogoCreator conversion software in your PC.

2 Convert the logos to a .mg2 format.
Step 1: Install LogoCreator Software

All logos used by the X100 must either be generated as .mg2 files, or converted to that
format. LogoCreator software is contained in the Icon application, found in the Imagine
Communications Manuals and Product Resources DVD.
For best results, LogoCreator requires a PC with the following system specifications:
 Intel Pentium III processor at 500 MHz or faster

 512 MB or more of physical memory (RAM)
 Microsoft® Windows® XP, Windows 2000, Windows Vista, or Windows 7
Selenio X100 59
If a version of LogoCreator already exists on the PC, ensure that you first uninstall the
program and restart the computer. Then proceed with the steps below:
1 Close all other software applications running on the PC and then insert the IconTools
CD-ROM into the computer's CD-ROM tray.
2 Using Windows Explorer, browse to the CD-ROM contents, and then double-click the
LogoCreator folder.
3 Double-click Setup.exe.
4 When the IconTools 3 Setup box appears, click Next, and then follow the on-screen
installation instructions.
Step 2: Convert Files to the .mg2 Format

Using LogoCreator, you need a source image file for the Fill portion of your logo, and a
source image file for the Key portion. The fill is the picture or image you want to overlay
onto the program output. The key is the cutout or shape of the desired logo, which may or
may not be the same shape as the fill. Using LogoCreator, you will set the fill and key
images to the same size (resolution) as the standard of the X100’s output. LogoCreator
infers the key from the alpha channel in a targa (.tga) file.
After you save the logo, the logo displays in your LogoCreator workspace. To save your logo
files using LogoCreator, follow these steps:
1 In LogoCreator, open the Logo Set-Up dialog box (Figure 15 below).

When you first open LogoCreator, the Logo Set-Up dialog box opens automatically. If the
Logo Set-Up dialog box is closed, select File > New to open the dialog box.
Figure 3-17 LogoCreator Setup Dialog Box
Note: If you click the Open button directly in the Logo Set-Up box, the program will only
launch files with a .mg2 prefix. If you attempt to open a file with any other prefix, the
program will generate error messages.
2 Click the Logo button to open the Static Logo dialog box.
3 Use the Logo ID box to assign the logo to a specific slot on your IconLogo system.
4 Enter a name for the logo in the Name box.
5 Click the Open button below the Logo Image Preview window.
The Open dialog box displays.
6 Select your existing logo file and click the Open button to open the logo in the Static Logo
dialog box.
60 Selenio X100
Figure 3-18 Static Logo Dialog Box
 A preview of the composited logo displays in the Logo Image Preview area.
 A preview of the image alpha displays in the Logo Alpha Preview area if the file
contains alpha.
7 Select a file to use as the alpha channel for your logo.
You must select a file before you can save the logo.
 To use the original image's alpha channel, select the Use the alpha key found with
image check box.
 To use a different image for the alpha channel, clear the Use the alpha key found
with image check box, and then click the Open button to select a new file for your
alpha channel.
Note: An alpha channel is an 8-bit layer in a graphics file format that is used for expressing
translucency (transparency). Typically, you define the alpha channel on a per-object basis.
Different parts of an object will have different levels of transparency depending on how
much background you want to show through.
8 Click the Save button in the Static Logo dialog box.

The Save Logo File dialog box opens where you can save your logo as an .mg2 file.
Once you save the logo as an .mg2 file, the logo displays in the LogoCreator
workspace.
Note: The Logo Position and Opacity controls on the LogoCreator software are not
active. These features are controlled by the X Position, Y Position, and Transparency
parameters found in the Selenio X100 parameter list at Video > Processing Channel 1
and 2 > Logo 1 and 2 > Raster x.
Video TSG-OSD 1 and 2
Test Signal Generator

The Selenio X100 includes two video test signal generators (one for each conversion
channel) that will provide the following:
 75% Color Bars Signal

Selenio X100 61
 Horizontal Frequency Sweep

 Horizontal Frequency Sweep (Y-Only)
 Cross Hatch
 Black
 White
During firmware upgrades, the test signal generator automatically outputs color bars.
On Screen Display (OSD)

The Selenio X100 has the capability to provide an output with or without on-screen display
(OSD). Currently, both the timecode and the source ID can be displayed using the Stream x
Time Code Enable and Stream x Source ID Enable parameters. You can also set the
display transparency and position by using the Stream x OSD Transparency and Stream x
Time Code/Source ID X/Y Position parameters. The source ID text can be entered using
the Source ID x Label parameter.
To enable OSD on any of the physical video outputs (SDI, SFP, HDMI, and Analog), you must
set the corresponding Out Select parameter in Video > Video Output and Routing >
Output Routing to Processing Channel 1 + OSD or Processing Channel 2 + OSD.
Thumbnail Streaming
The X100 supports thumbnail streaming at a maximum rate of three frames per second, for
up to four thumbnails (the frame rate ranges from one frame per 10 seconds to three
frames per second; default is one frame per second). The four thumbnails are the two
selected video inputs to the processing channels and the two processed video outputs. Only
two thumbnails are supported for Linear FRC mode: one for the selected video input to the
processing channel, and the other for the processed video output. All thumbnails are
updated on a rotation basis in which one thumbnail is updated at a time. Follow
Miscellaneous > Other to set the Thumbnail Frequency in Hz.
Data Embedding and De-Embedding
Data Processing
The X100 provides a powerful platform to pass and process ancillary data through video
conversion. In addition to Closed Captioning, Teletext (OP-47), Timecode, AFD, VI, WSS,
CUE, Brandnet, Lidia, BT-1685, SCTE-104, ARIB, Lidia, the X100 also supports up to 10
types of generic VANC data passing.
Data Input
Data that is sourced from SDI can be monitored by Line View, or by Data View. These
options are found at Data Input > Proc Ch x Input > Proc Ch x Data Input View.
LTC or serial-based data is reported at Data Input > Other Inputs.

62 Selenio X100
Data Output and Data Bridging

For each SDI output blanking line, you can select up to two kinds of data to be embedded
into the same line. Source data can be routed from the same processing channel input or
bridged from a different processing channel input. Source data can also be routed from the
audio metadata generator, serial-triggered data, or GPI-triggered data. (When two
conflicting data types are selected for the same line, the Output Selection Status displays
an error message.)
There are up to two data selections per line when selecting data to embed into an SDI
output. To adjust the number of visible embedding controls for a particular VBI line, set
Data Output > Proc Ch x Output > Line to Edit to the target line, then adjust the
Number of Data on Line x parameter for that line.
For outputs other than SDI, you can select data for LTC, serial, or GPI output.
VBI Line Delete

For each SDI VBI line data embedding selection, you can select VBI Line Delete to remove
everything on that line. If the output standard is interlaced, a field selection parameter (VBI
Delete Field LN x) is enabled, which will then allow you to select which field to apply the
VBI deletion to. Options for VBI Delete Field LN x are: 1st Field, 2nd Field, and Both
Fields (default).
Generic VANC Data Passing

Up to 10 different types of VANC data packets (specified by the DID/SDID) can be routed
from the SDI input to the SDI output. The system can also automatically identify the newly
detected DID/SDID, and fill the detected value into the first available empty DID/SDID
control. When Data Auto Pass is set to Yes at Advanced Data Status and Control >
General, the output embedding will also automatically pass the newly discovered data into
the output.
VBI Transfer
The VBI Transfer parameter makes it possible to transfer all VBI/VANC data (excluding the
data in the HANC region) transparently from the input to the output. (VBI Transfer is only
available when the input and output video standards are the same.)
If the VBI transfer is disabled, you will need to manually configure the data embedder to
embed the VBI/VANC data you require at the output. This is because the X100 (except
when operating in Proc Bypass mode) strips out all VBI/VANC data from the video when
performing video processing and scaling. The VBI Transfer control is located at Data
Output > Proc Ch x Output.
Dual Link Support

If a dual link video standard is used, the Link Selection control (Advanced Data Status
and Control > General) makes it possible to select which link system should be used when
de-embedding and embedding VANC data.
Selenio X100 63
At this time, Bar Data and Pan-Scan for VI and AFD are not supported in data embedding
and de-embedding. The X100 supports closed captioning, Teletext (OP-47), and timecode.
Other ancillary data will be stripped from the output stream, except when the X100 is in
frame sync mode.
SCTE-104
Overview
The X100 uses VANC data packets that are conveyed according to the SCTE-104 standard,
for transmission of operation messages containing SCTE-35 splice requests and DTMF
descriptor requests. These operation messages can be extracted from the RS-422/RS-232
serial data inputs, and are also triggered by GPIO inputs and outputs.
The X100 generates VANC data packets that carry multiple operation messages as defined
in SCTE-104. The UDW carries the multiple_operation_message() defined in section 7.2.3 of
SCTE-104 standard.
Although each multiple operation message can support more than one request, the X100
will only send one splice request and one DTMF descriptor request (only when requested)
per message.
SCTE-104 Insertion
The X100 supports a maximum of 8 GPIO inputs (each GPIO input is configurable but
shared with GPIO outputs). Each GPIO input can be programmed to generate a specific
splice request message and DTMF descriptor request message when triggered. For each of
the 8 GPIO inputs, the following parameters can be set by the user from the GUI:
 AS_index
 DPI_PID index
 Time type (none or GPI)
 Splice insert type (reserved, start normal, start immediate, end normal, end immediate,
cancel)
 Splice event source
 Unique program ID
 Pre-roll time
 Break duration (in tenths of sec)
 Avail num
 Avails expected
 DTMF pre-roll time (in tenths of sec)
 DTMF input
When the X100 detects a GPIO input being triggered, a VANC packet with the associated
request message will be created and inserted into the video on the next available video
field.
64 Selenio X100
The X100 can also create SCTE-104 VANC packets when it detects an RS-232/RS-422/
RS-485 serial input data containing SCTE-104 multiple operation messages with splice
request messages or DTMF descriptor request messages. The VANC packet is inserted into
the video on the next available video field after the message is extracted from the serial
input data. The serial data must use the Basic Link Layer Syntax to carry the message, as
well as provide message synchronization The message data is carried in binary form.
SCTE-104 Extraction
The X100 extracts and decodes SCTE-104 VANC packets, and also trigger GPIO outputs. A
maximum of 8 GPIO outputs (configurable and shared with GPIO inputs) are supported.
Two extraction (decode) modes are supported: Static and Dynamic.
If the SCTE-104 decode mode is set to Static, (GPI and Rules Engine > GPI > GPI Output
> SCTE104 > BT1685 GPI Out Processing > GPI Delay & Hold Processing Mode), the
GPIO output 0 will be triggered whenever an SCTE-104 message is received from the VANC
space. The GPIO output pulse width and delay will be generated according to the user
specified GPI static hold and delay parameters. (For Static decode mode, only GPIO output
0 is triggered.)
If SCTE-104 decode mode is set to Dynamic, you can configure the X100 to extract a
specific item of the message, and then decode the value of that item to determine which
GPIO output to trigger. For example, if the X100 is configured to extract AS_index for the
GPIO outputs, then GPIO port 0 will be triggered if AS_index is 1.
Port 1 will be triggered if AS_index is 2; port 2 will be triggered, if AS_index is 3, and so

on. The table below lists all the items that can be decoded, as well as the mapping of item
values with GPIO output ports:

time_type port 0 = None; port 1 = GPI
splice_insert_type port 0 = reserved; port 1 = start normal; port 2 = start immediate;
port 3 = end normal; port 4 = end immediate; port 5 = cancel
Note: The generation of the GPIO outputs will be aligned to the next start of field of the
selected input video (instead of output video).

The X100 only uses word number 30 for the transmission of the eight GPI trigger bits.
When a trigger condition is detected, the corresponding trigger bit (Q1-Q8) is set high;
otherwise it is set low. The trigger condition is dependent on the GPI trigger type that you
set. For example, if the Trigger is set to RisingEdge, only a rising edge detected at a
certain time (for example, at the start of a video frame) will be considered a valid trigger. Or
if the Trigger is set to Active High, a high level GPI signal will be considered as a valid
trigger.
The mappings of the GPI input/output ports to BT-1685 trigger bits are the following:
 GPI 0  Q1
 GPI 1  Q2
 GPI 2  Q3
 GPI 3  Q4
 GPI 4  Q5
 GPI 5  Q6
 GPI 6  Q7
 GPI 7  Q8
BT-1685 Insertion Setup Example

This example involves inserting BT-1685 packets on line 12 of 1080i59 video using GPI
triggers.
1 First configure each GPI input to Rising Edge for BT-1685 triggers:
a Go to GPI and Rules Engine > GPI > GPI Direction and set all 8 GPIO Direction
options to Input.
b At GPI and Rules Engine > GPI > GPI Input, set the following for each GPI Input To
Edit (GPIO 0 to GPIO 7):
i. Event to BT1685 Control
Selenio X100 71
ii. Trigger to the desired value (options are RisingEdge, FallingEdge, ActiveHigh
and ActiveLow)
2 Configure the BT-1685 inserter to insert BT-1685 packets on line 12 of video output 1:
a Go to Video > Video Output and Routing > Proc Ch 1 Out Format and then select
1080i/59.94.
b At Data > Output > Proc Ch 1 Output > Proc Ch 1 LN 12, select Trigger BT1685.
c Go to Data > Advanced Status and Control > BT-1685 > GPI Input to VANC to
configure the DID, output stream and output field for the embedded BT-1685 packets.
3 Generate GPI pulses to all GPI inputs.
BT-1685 packets will now be visible, embedded in the VANC region on line 12 with the
trigger bits Q1-Q8 toggling between 0xFF and 0x00 at the incoming GPI pulse rate.
BT-1685 Extraction Setup Example

This example involves extracting BT-1685 packets from line 12 and inserting on GPI outputs.
1 Connect the video signal with embedded BT-1685 packets to the video input (for example,
video input 1).
2 Configure the BT-1685 extractor to extract BT-1685 packets on line 12 of video input 1:
a Go to Data > Advanced Status and Control > BT-1685 > VANC to GPI Output and
then configure the DID and set the BT1685 Input Line Mode to Fixed.
b Go to Data > Advanced Status and Control > BT-1685 > VANC to GPI Output >
From Channel 1 and then set the Channel 1 BT1685 Input Line to 12.
c Confirm that Data > Advanced Status and Control > BT-1685 > VANC to GPI
Output > From Channel 1 is set to Channel 1 BT1685 Input Present > Yes.
3 Configure the GPI outputs for channel 1 BT1685 extraction:
a At GPI and Rules Engine > GPI > GPI Direction, set all eight GPIO Directions to
Output.
b At GPI and Rules Engine > GPI > GPI Output, for each GPI Output To Edit (GPIO 0
to GPIO 7), set Event to SCTE104/BT1685 Control.
c Go to GPI and Rules Engine > GPI > GPI Output > SCTE104/BT1685 GPI Out
Processing and then set GPI Delay & Hold Processing Mode to Bypass.
d At GPI and Rules Engine > GPI > GPI Output > set GPI Data Type to Proc Ch 1
BT1685.
e Go to GPI and Rules Engine > GPI > GPI Output > GPI Level Invert and then set the
level accordingly.
From the GPI outputs, observe the state of the 8 GPI outputs, following trigger bits
Q1-Q8 extracted from the incoming BT-1685 packets.
AFD, VI and WSS

The X100 can handle single data passing, filling, replacing, data based arcing, multiple data
crossing, and translating. The related controls are located at Video > Processing Channel
> Conversion and Advanced Video Processing.
72 Selenio X100
ARIB
The X100 reports the current audio mode embedded in the incoming ARIB packet, and has
the ability to replace the field with a different value.
Closed Captioning/Teletext
To make changes to the closed captioning and Teletext settings, select the following
parameters located at Data Output > Proc Ch x Output > Proc Ch x LN 12-21:
 Proc Ch x TT
 Proc Ch x CC
 Serial CC
These options are hidden if closed captioning or Teletext are not available.
Based on input and output video standards, the X100 performs the following closed
captioning transcoding:
 If the input and output video standards are the same, the X100 de-embeds the CC data
and then re-embeds the data on the output program stream without any transcoding.
 If the input format is SD-SDI and the output format is HD-SDI, the X100 transcodes the
analog CC waveform, based on the EIA 608 standard from the SD input stream to
ancillary packets based on the EIA 708 standard.
 If the input format is HD-SDI and the output format is SD-SDI, the X100 transcodes the
CC ancillary packets based on the EIA 708 standard from the HD input stream to
analog waveform based on the EIA 608 standard.
Although North America has dedicated standards for closed captioning of video (EIA-608
and 708), many countries in Europe and elsewhere have not yet adopted formal standards.
For these countries, closed captioning is part of the DVB Teletext System as described in
ITU-R BT-653-3. These specifications define all Teletext Systems (A, B, C, D) used in the
world and are also known as the World System Teletext (WST). A Teletext system is made of
several pages of various data information and CC data is described in one these pages.
System B is used in Australia, the UK, and Germany, among other countries.
Australian closed captions are inserted on line 21/334 in analog PAL broadcast signals, as
per the ITU-R BT-653-3. When analog PAL is produced or converted to SDTV (625 digital), a
digitized version of the closed captioning appears on line 21/334 (in the same way line 21
on NTSC signals is digitized and appears on the line 21 of SD-SDI signals). The ITU-R
BT-653-3 document proposed by Free TV Australia indicates how to carry this CC data into
the VANC area of SD-and HD-SDI signals by use of the SMPTE 334M VANC embedding
protocol. For digital broadcasting, Australia intends to use the ETSI EN 300 472 standard
that specifies the conveyance of ITU-R System B Teletext in DVB bit streams.
Setting Teletext
An X100 performs the following Teletext transcoding:
 If the input and output video standards are the same, the X100 de-embeds the TT data
and then re-embeds the data on the output program stream without any transcoding.
 If the input format is SD-SDI and the output format is HD-SDI, the X100 transcodes the
analog TT waveform based on ITU-R BT.653-3 standard (system B only) from the SD
input stream to ancillary packets based on the Free TV Australia OP47 standard.
Selenio X100 73
 If the input format is HD and the output format is SD, the X100 transcodes the TT
ancillary packets based on Free TV Australia OP47 standard from the HD input stream
to analog waveform based on the ITU-R BT.653-3 standard (system B only).
Timecode The Selenio X100 support the following types of timecode:
 LTC (SMPTE-12M-1)
 D-VITC in SD formats (SMPTE-266M)
 ATC in SD and HD formats (SMPTE-12M-2, formerly RP-188)
 RP196 VITC in HANC
 RP196 LTC in HANC
The Selenio X100 supports ancillary timecode insertion to video output, extraction from
video input, LTC timecode generation and extraction, and conversion between all of the
above supported timecode formats and frame rates.
To support timecode frame rate conversion, local timecode generators for the LTC and each
of the video processing channels ensure that the generated timecode is always in sequence
according to the selected output format. These timecode generators are set to a
pre-defined time or a time from a selected input time source using the jam sync control.
There are two different modes for setting the timecode: Copy Mode and Jam Sync Mode
(found at Data > Advanced Status and Control > Timecode > Jam Sync > Output x
Sync Mode).
Copy Mode makes it possible to copy the timecode from a reference input time source and
apply to the output without alteration. This is particular useful for a post-production
environment where the timecode may not always increment at a per-frame basis. For Copy
mode to work properly, ensure that the output timecode frame rate matches the frame rate
of the reference input time source.
With Jam Sync Mode, you can set the timecode of an output to a specific time when the
Immediate Jam Sync button is set to Yes. Or if preferred, you can set the timecode of a
particular output to a specific time, which occurs when the time of the selected time source
for that output matches the specific time. The timecode will then auto-increment according
to the video frame rate and other user specified settings, such as Drop Frame Enable.
The Drop Frame Enable parameters are located at:
 Data->Advanced Status and Control > Timecode > Output-> Ch 1 Timecode Drop
Frame
 Data->Advanced Status and Control > Timecode > Output-> Ch 2 Timecode Drop
Frame
 Data->Advanced Status and Control > Timecode > Output->LTC > LTC Drop Frame
To select Copy Mode for a particular output, set Data > Advanced Status and Control >
Timecode > Output > Output 1/Output 2/LTC Sync Mode to Copy Mode and then
select the reference timecode source from the corresponding Data > Advanced Status
and Control > Timecode > Output > Output 1/Output 2/LTC Time Source.
To select Jam Sync Mode for a particular output, set Data > Advanced Status and
Control > Timecode > Output > Output 1/Output 2/LTC Sync Mode to Jam Sync
Mode, and then follow the instructions specified in the following Jam Sync Mode section.
74 Selenio X100
Jam Sync Mode

To set the output timecode to a specific time, set Data > Advanced Status and Control >
Timecode > Output > Jam Sync Time to the desired time and then set the corresponding
jam sync input time source (Output 1/Output 2/LTC Time Source) to Copy jam sync
time to all output time.
To enable all output timecode manually and immediately, set Immediate Jam Sync to Yes.
You can also set up the Selenio X100 to jam sync the output time to the input time daily at
a specific time. To do this, set Data > Advanced Status and Control > Timecode >
Output > Jam Sync Time to the desired time and select an input time source using the
corresponding jam sync input time source (Output 1/Output 2/LTC Time Source).
The following input time sources are supported:
 LTC
 VITC 1
 VITC 2
 ATC 1
 ATC 2
Note: Since RP196 timecode is embedded in the HANC space (as well as ATC timecode if it
has been enabled for embedding in HANC), enabling ADS clean in Audio > Embedding >
Embedding x > Control will remove all packets in the entire HANC space of the
corresponding processing channel. When in proc bypass mode, this will strip out all HANC
timecode packets. The X100 is not affected by this limitation when it is in conversion mode,
since timecode packets are re-embedded to the video after the conversion.
If HANC timecode is to be preserved in proc bypass mode, set the Emb x ADS Clean
control to No, and the Emb x Group x Embedding Mode to OverWrite. This will
produce the same result as if ADS Clean is enabled.
Audio Embedding
Handling of Non-PCM/Compressed Audio Signals

The Selenio X100 automatically detects input non-PCM audio signals, such as compressed
Dolby E audio, even without the proper C/V bits set (the C/V bits are corrected in this
situation). Detected non-PCM audio inputs then automatically bypass the sample rate
converter and are embedded in the output SDI stream unprocessed.
You can also manually bypass sample rate conversion using the SRC control parameters
located at Audio > Sync and Delay.
Selenio X100 75
Passing Embedded Non-PCM Audio through the Frame Sync

As described above, non-PCM embedded audio sources such as Dolby E or Dolby Digital will
automatically bypass the audio synchronization feature. When the video frame synchronizer
is active, this can cause misalignment of the video-to-audio timing. To resolve this problem,
the non-PCM audio sources should pass through the video frame synchronizer—which will
automatically add an equal amount of audio delay and video delay. This can be
accomplished by simply disabling the audio embedder at the output stage for the
associated audio pair. The following conditions apply:
 The ADS Clean feature must be disabled.

 The processing channel output set to Proc Bypass.
 Remapping of the embedded audio to different output pairs is not supported.
Example
Dolby E is present in input processing channel 1, embedded audio channels 2A and 2B (or,
Group 1 Pair 2). To pass this audio pair through the system while maintaining
synchronization with video, set the EMB 1 Grp 1 Pair 2 parameter (Audio Embedding >
Embedding 1 > Control) to Disable. This will leave the original embedded audio in this
pair intact and not overwritten. Set the EMB 1 ADS Clean parameter to No. Set the Proc
Ch 1 Out Format (Video Output and Routing > Output Format) to Proc Bypass.
Audio Embedding Control

The Selenio X100 makes it possible to embed audio on a pair-by-pair basis. Each embedder
has four groups, with two pairs in each group. Using the EMB x Grp x Pair x embed
control parameters, you can embed a single pair of audio at any one time.
Audio Embedding Modes

The audio embedder component in the Selenio X100 is composed of several smaller
subcomponent blocks:
 One ancillary data stripper (ADS)

 Four audio embedding subcomponents
The first subcomponent is an ancillary data stripper (ADS). This block removes all ancillary
data packets in the input SDI stream, prior to embedding.
Following the ADS block are four separate audio-embedding subcomponents. Each
subcomponent has the ability to operate on only one audio group, either appending or
overwriting a predetermined group onto the SDI stream.
Table 3-9 briefly describes the Append, OverWrite, and Auto options available from each
of the embedding modes.

Options Description
OverWrite Attempts to overwrite existing audio data and control packets of the

Auto Attempts first to overwrite existing audio data and control packets of the
same audio group number; failing that, it appends the new audio data
and control packets immediately following the last existing audio data/
control packet.
Append Embedding
When you select Append embedding, the Selenio X100 attempt to insert the audio data
and control packets immediately following the last existing data/control packet in the
horizontal ancillary data space (ADS). Append embedding is only valid if the audio group to
be embedded does not already exist.
Figure 3-21 shows how append embedding appears in the ancillary data space when there
is no previous audio or other data.

Overwrite Embedding
When you select Overwrite embedding, the X100 attempts to overwrite any existing audio
data and control packets of the same group number with the new audio data. This setting
is valid only if the audio group to be embedded already exists. If the new sample
distribution does not exactly match the existing audio data packet sample distribution, the
embedder marks some audio data packets for deletion (DID word is set to 180h).
Note: To avoid sample distribution problems, activate the ADS Clean feature in the Audio
Embedding > Embedding 1 > Control.
When you attempt Overwrite embedding and there is no previous audio (as in
Figure 3-27), it returns an error because there is nothing to overwrite.

Audio Embedding Errors

Table 3-10 Audio Embedding Error Descriptions
Error Description
Group (1–4) This error occurs if the embedder is set to Append mode for a particular
Append audio group, but that audio group already exists in the incoming SDI
Embedding signal.
Error
In this case, the embedder does not embed another audio data and
control packet of the same audio group, as this results in incorrect audio
sample distribution.
Group (1–4) This error occurs if the embedder is set to Overwrite mode for a
Overwrite particular audio group, but that audio group does not exist in the
Embed Error incoming SDI signal.
To avoid embedding errors, follow these guidelines:
 Set the embedding mode to Auto.

If the group is present, it will be overwritten; if it is not present, it will be appended. The
overwrite and append errors are actually warnings that the operation is not being
performed.
 In SD-SDI mode, do not overwrite embedded groups of 20-bit audio samples with
groups of 24-bit audio samples.
The required extended data packet information appended to that group may overwrite
a pre-existing audio group. For 24-bit audio embedding, use the ADS Clean feature
provided (see details below).
ADS Clean
Enabling the ADS Clean parameter removes all the audio groups presently embedded in
the input SDI stream. This process leaves the ADS region clean prior to audio embedding.
By enabling the ADS Clean parameter, you will remove all ancillary data packets in the
Horizontal Ancillary data space (HANC). If there are data packets other than audio in the
HANC space (for example, RP196 or SMPTE-12M-2 ATC HANC timecode), this data will also
be removed along with the audio data.
Therefore, before enabling the ADS Clean parameter, ensure there are no pre-existing
non-audio data packets in the HANC space. To overwrite pre-existing audio groups instead
of wiping out pre-existing audio data, use the Overwrite embedding feature (page 78).
Embedding Errors
During the embedding operation, errors may arise for the following reasons:
 An attempt is made to append a group when it is already present

 An attempt is made to overwrite a group when it is not present
 An attempt is made to overwrite a group composed of 20-bit audio samples with a
group composed of 24-bit audio samples
 There is an overflow condition in the ancillary data space
 There is an overflow or underflow of the internal buffer
80 Selenio X100
Preventing Embedding Errors

To avoid embedding errors, follow these guidelines:
 Set the embedding mode to Auto. If the group is present, it will be overwritten; if it is
not present, it will be appended. The overwrite and append errors are warnings that
the desired operation is not being performed.
 Don’t overwrite embedded groups of 20-bit audio samples with groups of 24-bit audio
samples. The required extended data packet information appended to that group may
overwrite a pre-existing audio group. For 24-bit audio embedding, use the ADS Clean
feature provided.
 Use the ADS Clean feature to avoid ADS overflow situations
Note: The ADS Clean feature has limitations. See page 79 for details.

Audio Inputs and Outputs
Inputs
Selenio X100 supports embedded-audio input, AES audio input, and analog audio input. In
addition, the X100 processes embedded audio from the SDI video input in SD, HD, or 3G
(Level A and Level B-DL) formats, and include two independent audio de-embedders—each
supporting sixteen mono channels. Any de-embedded group may contain compressed
audio, linear PCM, or a combination of both.
The X100 supports up to sixteen AES inputs.
Note: AES inputs can be disabled by the Green-Power Save control (Misc >
Green-Power Save). If an AES input is grayed out in the user interface, check its power
save status.
Outputs
The Selenio X100 outputs the following audio channels:
 16 embedded channels to Embedder 1

 16 embedded channels to Embedder 2
 32 channels for up to 16 AES outputs
 8 analog mono output channels
 8 HDMI mono audio output channels
Additionally, up to 32 channels are available from the optional Advanced Audio Processing
block.
Any of these source channels can be routed to any destination.

Audio Input Delay and Sync

The Audio Input Delay and Sync block includes the following controls:
 De-Embedding, AES, and Analog Sample Rate Conversion

 De-Embedding, AES, Analog and Advanced Audio Processing Synchronization
 De-Embedding, AES, and Analog Delay
 Delay for Advanced Audio Processing
The Advanced Audio Processing and Embedding blocks of parameters contain

additional controls for Dolby, DTS Neural, and DTS Neural Surround options.
Synchronization Parameters
The Selenio X100 performs sample rate conversion on all audio input channel pairs. Streams
carrying compressed audio automatically bypass the SRC block. The Sample Rate
Conversion menus (Audio Input Delay and Sync > xxxSample Rate Conversion) make
it possible for you to manually bypass SRCs on a per-pair basis in situations where legacy
equipment provides unreliable compressed audio signals.
Compressed audio will be supported only when the input audio and output video are
locked, with some tolerance for wander.
In the Audio Tracking parameters:
 Off disables the Audio Tracking feature

 The Frame Sync option adds delay from the video frame synchronization, plus delay
added by the H-Phase and V-Phase parameters.
 The Frame Sync + Delay option adds delay from video frame synchronization, plus
delay added by the H-Phase, V-Phase, plus Frame Delay parameters
If a sample rate converter is bypassed and re-enabled, audio from this SRC's output may be
out of phase with other audio channels. To reset this phase for all audio channels, use the
Global Audio Phase Reset parameter. In conjunction, use the Global Audio Phase
Alignment to select the processing channel to which the audio phase will be aligned. A
brief audio disturbance will occur when you change the options in these parameters.
Audio Proc Amp

The Audio Proc Amp includes all of the controls for the following functions:
 Embedder, AES, Analog and HDMI Gain

 Embedder, AES, Analog and HDMI Invert
 Embedder, AES, Analog and HDMI Mute
 Embedder, AES and HDMI Word Length
 Embedder, AES and HDMI Format
Also, in the Other category, it includes the following miscellaneous parameters:
 V-Bit Enable

 Audio Control Style (Mono or Stereo)

 Audio V-Fade (clean audio hotswitch)
 Audio LOV Output Mode (Pass or Mute)
 Fade Time (0 to 10 seconds in increment of 1ms)
 V-Fade Mute Time (0 to 1 second in increment of 1ms)

 EMB 1 and EMB 2 Routing

 AES Routing
 Analog Routing
 HDMI Routing

 EMB 1 and EMB 2 Output Delay
 AES Output Delay
 Analog Output Delay

Figure 3-32 Audio Output Routing Format Parameter Symbols
The Alignment Mode parameters are found in the various output sources (Audio >
Output Routing and Delay > x Output Delay). The Alignment Mode parameters make
it possible for you to use an Automatic delay controlled by the X100 (the default state).
Alternately, the Align Now option aligns all of the outputs according to your current
conditions (when routing from AAP sources), and leaves them in the same state.
The Automatic or Align Now alignment modes will attempt to align all audio and video
within a group of audio (processing channel 1 embedded ch 1-16, processing ch 2
embedded ch 1-16, AES outputs 1A-8B or a group of audio expander output channels).
This alignment will automatically compensate for delay through the AAP blocks when audio
is routed internally through the X100. If audio is routed external to the X100, automatic
alignment is not possible (for example, routing audio though an AAP then to AES output
and looped back to AES input).
Selenio X100 85
AES destinations can match delay from either processing channel, provided its native
routing delay doesn’t already exceed the delay in the associated processing channel. In
Figure 3-33, if AAP 1 Delay is greater than AAP2 Delay, AES alignment with Processing
Channel x is possible. However, if AAP 1 Delay is less than AAP 2 Delay, AES alignment is
not possible.

re-embeds the audio metadata into multiple outputs. The audio metadata source may be
one of the following:
 Metadata embedded in SDI (Methods A and B)

 Input of the serial port
 Metadata generator
The audio metadata may be inserted into the following outputs:
 SDI 1 and SDI 2 (Methods A and B)

 Serial port
The Selenio X100 support audio metadata insertion to video output, and extraction from
video input. The modules are also capable of the following:
 Generating audio metadata

 Receiving audio metadata from the serial port and Dolby decoder
 Transmitting audio metadata to the serial port and Dolby decoder

GPI and Rules Engine
GPI
The Selenio X100 provides eight GPI pins for automation, with configurable input or output
directions. The GPIs are open collector style, with approximately 10 K pull-ups to +5V. In
other words, you can use contact closure-to-ground switches to control these GPI inputs.
All GPI related parameters can be found under Control > GPI.
Selenio X100 89
Each GPI pin can be individually set to either input or output status; thus there are eight
controls in total (parameters GPI 0 Direction to GPI 7 Direction), located at GPI and Rules
Engine > GPI > GPI Direction.
GPI inputs make it possible to enable a test signal, insert a logo, control the ARC being used
for a particular conversion mode, trigger SCTE-104 or BT-1685 data, and as well, insert the
AFD, WSS or VI code.
GPI outputs can reflect the state of the current input video LOV status—whether the test
signal is enabled, aspect ratio is used, or can be triggered on a specific input AFD, WSS or VI
code.
The read-only parameters GPI Input Level Status and GPI Output Level Status display
current GPI pin level information. From left to right, the symbols indicate the level status of
GPI pins 0 to 7. A value of 1 represents a high, 0 represents a low, and a - symbol
represents Not Valid—which means the pin is assigned to the opposite direction. A *
symbol shows the pin is constantly driving (output) or is driven (input) by SCTE-104 or
BT-1685 data.
Rules Engine
When the X100 is in operation, signals often change, input video standards shift, and
incoming audio channels may be altered. You can predict many such changes, and have the
X100 respond accordingly. Script-based rules engine provide the flexibility to pre-edit the
conditions to be monitored, and automatically make the necessary setting changes.
In summary:
 Rules Engines involve conditions and actions.

 Parameter Control Scripts use parameter status conditions to drive parameter controls.
 Custom GPI Input Scripts use GPI input status conditions to drive parameter controls.
 Custom GPI Output Scripts use parameter status conditions to drive GPI output values.
Custom GPI Input Script

To enable a custom GPI input script, set the direction of the specific pin in the GPI Input To
Edit parameter (GPI and Rules Engine > GPI > GPI Input) and then set the Event
parameter to Custom GPI Input Script. Enter your script into the GPI Input Script (Part I)
field. The parameter allows a maximum of 251 characters to be entered. If additional script
space is needed, use the Custom Input Script (Part II to IV) parameter. GPI Input Script
Status reports the parsing and active status of the script. If a syntax error is detected when
a new script is entered, this parameter will report Error: x message. The variable x is an
index number starting from the beginning of the script to indicate around which character
the script parser first encounters a syntax error. Custom GPI Input Level Status displays
current custom GPI input pin level information. From left to right, the symbols indicate the
level status of GPI ping 0 to 7, where 1 represents a high, 0 represents a low, and -
represents Not Valid—which means the pin is assigned to the output direction, or assigned
to an event that is not a custom GPI input script.
GPI input scripts are made up of one or multiple statements. Each statement consists of one
condition and one or multiple assignments. During device operation, if the condition in a
statement becomes true, the assignment in the statement will take effect.
<script> ::= <statement> { <statement> }

90 Selenio X100
<statement> ::= IF <condition> THEN <assignment> { <assignment> }
<condition> ::= <comparison> { <logic op> <comparison> }
<comparison> ::= GPIx <comparison op> y
Where x is in the range of [0, 7], y could be 0 or 1
<assignment> ::= PARAM[x] = y
Where x is the CCSP ID of a device parameter, y is a value for that parameter. At this time,
only integer and enum type of parameter assignments are supported. String type parameter
assignment is not supported.
<comparison op> ::= == | > | < | >= | <= | !=
<logic op> ::= && | ||
Comparisons can be ANDed together using &&, and then can be ORed together using ||.
The AND operation always has precedence over the OR operation when AND and OR both
exist in a condition.
Custom GPI Output Script

To enable a custom GPI input script, set the direction of the specific pin in the select GPI
Output To Edit parameter (GPI and Rules Engine > GPI > GPI Output) and then set the
Event parameter to Custom GPI Output Script.
Enter your script into the GPI Output Script (Part I) field. The parameter allows a
maximum of 251 characters to be entered. If additional script space is needed, use the
Custom Output Script (Part II to IV) parameter. GPI Output Script Status reports the
parsing and active status of the script. If a syntax error is detected when a new script is
entered, this parameter will report Error: x message. The variable x is an index number
starting from the beginning of the script to indicate around which character the script
parser first encounters a syntax error. Custom GPI Output Level Status displays current
custom GPI output pin level information. From left to right, the symbols indicate the level
status of GPI ping 0 to 7, with 1 representing a high, 0 representing a low, and -
representing Not Valid—which means the pin is assigned to the input direction, or
assigned to an event that's not custom GPI output script.
GPI output scripts are made up of one or multiple statements. Each statement consists of
one condition and one or multiple assignments. During device operation, if the condition in
a statement becomes true, the assignments in the statement will take effect.
<comparison> ::= PARAM[x] <comparison op> y
Where x is the CCSP ID of a device parameter, y is a value for that parameter. The device
parameter could be one of three types: integer, enum, string. Depending on the parameter
type, y could take different format:
Selenio X100 91
“Integer: y is integer value of the parameter
“Enum: y is the enum value index inside the enum
“String: y is in a 'zzzz' string format, where z is a character. Special character * can be

Parameter Control Script
Example
Some broadcasters have compliance issues that need to be addressed by specialized signal
processing.
A common problem is the replacement of a mono audio channel dedicated to audio

content for the visually-impaired, if the channel is absent. Service for the visually-impaired is
required in Canada, and available soon in the United States and elsewhere. In Europe, this
service is known as the Audio Description. In North America, it is known as Descriptive
Video, DVS Descriptive Video Service, or Video Description.
When this mono audio channel is present at the input, the requirement is to pass it through
to the output and into the Secondary Audio Program (SAP) channel. However, if the signal
is absent, the X100 can detect the problem and perform one of the following through
scripts:
 Sum and route the signal to the output channel feeding the SAP, if stereo audio is
present (one PCM)
 Downmix to 2.0, then sum and route to the output channel feeding the SAP, if
surround sound is present (three PCMs)
 Decode the audio, downmix to stereo, sum to mono, and then route to the output
channel that feeds the SAP, if Dolby Digital or Dolby E is present (one non-PCM)
Note: In the above example, as audio channels change, the audio mutes or V-fades must
also change, to prevent clinks or pops from occurring downstream.
To enable a parameter control script, set the Activate Script parameter to Enable. Enter
your script into the Script (Part I) parameter (maximum 251 characters). If additional script
space is needed, use the Script (Part II to IV) parameters.
92 Selenio X100
Read-only Script Status reports the parsing and active status of the script. If a syntax error
is detected when a new script is entered, this parameter will report Error: x message (x is
an index number starting from the beginning of the script to indicate around which
character the script parser first encounters a syntax error).
Parameter control scripts are made up of one or multiple statements. Each statement
consists of one condition and one or multiple assignments. During device operation, if the

Enum: y is the enum value index inside the enum
String: y is in a zzzz string format, where z is a character. Special character * can be used
as wild card. AA* and AABB will be considered as equal
<comparison op> ::= == | > | < | >= | <= | !=
For string type of parameter, only == and != operators are supported.
<assignment> ::= PARAM[x] = y
Where x is the CCSP ID of a device parameter, y is a value for that parameter. For now, we
only support interger and enum type of parameter's assignment, not string type.

Selenio X100 93
Genlock
The Selenio X100 can lock to an external reference input that can be either tri-level sync
(1080i/1080p/720p) or bi-level sync (NTSC/PAL-B/PAL-M color black or black burst). A digital
audio reference (DARS) signal that is compliant to the AES-11 standard can also be applied.
The Selenio X100 supports the following reference inputs:
 NTSC/PAL-B/PAL-M
 720p/50, 720p/59, 720p60
 1080i/50, 1080i/59, 1080i/60
 1080p/25, 1080p/29, 1080p/30
In addition:
 720p/50 reference is accepted only when all outputs are 720p/50, 1080p/50 or
1080p/50DL
1080p/59DL
1080p/60DL
Line Sync
The X100 supports minimal processing delay. To enable this feature, select Line Sync mode
under Video > Reference > Control > Reference Lock Mode. For the line sync to
operate, the difference between the input video and reference must be less than +/- 0.5
line. Otherwise frame synchronization will be used, even though the Reference Lock
Mode is set to Line Sync.
The Channel x Line Sync Window parameter (Video > Reference > Status) indicates if
the video input is within the operational range of the line sync. The Channel x Line Sync
Offset shows the timing difference between the input video and the output reference.
Note: When switching between two video inputs of the same format that are not
synchronized in Line Sync mode, the processing channel output will display video
distortion and video CRC errors.
For the Line Sync to operate, the input video must be timed to the reference input with a
tolerance of +/- 0.5 line (see figure below). Outside this range, frame sync will be used
automatically instead. When the Line Sync is in operation, the video will undergo minimum
processing delay in the system. This minimum processing delay is dependent on the video
format and is listed in Table 3-13.
Note that if the output format is set to Proc Bypass, no video conversion will be done and
the video output will be aligned to the reference with a delay equivalent to the minimum
processing delay for that particular standard (see Figure 3-34 below). However, if the video
output format is set to a non-Proc Bypass standard, the video will undergo additional
processing delay due to video format conversion and output frame synchronization. The
video output in that case will be aligned to the reference, with no additional delay.
94 Selenio X100
Note: Line Sync for dual link video formats is not supported at this time. For the Line Sync
mode to operate, the reference frame rate must be identical to the video frame rate. Line
Sync does not support V-phase (line) and frame delay. Frame sync will take over the
operation automatically in Line Sync mode if the V-phase (line) or frame delay setting is
non-zero. Advanced Audio Processing cannot be used in Line Sync mode because the
delay added to the video path that is required to compensate for the audio processing delay
(for audio-to-video alignment) is greater than the Line Sync can handle. As such, Frame
Sync will take over the operation automatically if Advanced Audio Processing is used in
Line Sync mode.

System Presets
A system preset is a snapshot of all the parameter values on the system. X100 system
presets can be created or imported from its Silverlight interface. System preset files can also
be renamed, removed or exported from the same interface. A total of 20 system presets are
supported.
To work with some older control panels, the Load Preset and Save Preset parameters are
available in the Misc > Other.
Note: Presets that are accessed through the Load Preset and Save Preset parameters are
index-based, rather than name-based, and are saved as SavedPreset0xx.
SFP+HDMI+OUT Operation
In addition to the built-in HDMI output at the back of the frame, the Selenio X100 also
supports HDMI output using the optional SFP+HDMI+OUT SFP module. Proper setup is
required to make this SFP function correctly. Ensure that you correctly set these controls:
 Misc > SFP > Output Channels Number (sets the number of HDMI output audio
channels)
 Misc > SFP > Output Speaker Mapping (sets the mapping between HDMI audio
channels and speakers)
The Output Speaker Mapping parameter sets the Channel Allocation (CA) information,
which can be found in the Audio Infoframe data byte 4 of the HDMI output. The channel
allocation uses the mapping shown in this table:
Ensure that you select a valid speaker mapping for the specified number of output
channels; otherwise the HDMI audio channels output may be undetermined.

4 Advanced Audio Processing
Software Key License Credits Overview

To use the Advanced Audio Processing option, you will need to purchase the
X100OPT-ADVAUD audio submodule, and a number of X100OPT-SK-DTS or
X100OPT-SK-DDD, or X100OPT-SK-DDE Software Key License Credits. The number of license
credits that you need depends on which audio functions you select for DTS Neural, Dolby
Digital (AC-3) Decoder, Dolby Digital (AC-3) Encoder, Dolby E Decoder, or Dolby E Encoder.
The DTS Neural UpMix mode, for example, requires three license credits, while the
MultiMerge mode requires four. These credits are transferable across different DTS Neural
options, and can be used for any combination of DTS Neural Loudness Control, or DTS
Neural Surround UpMix, DownMix, and MultiMerge. However, they can only be used in
the X100 unit for which they were purchased.
Different AAP options require different amounts of MCPS usage (Million Calculations Per
Second). The X100 monitors both license credits and MCPS usage, preventing you from
enabling too many DTS Neural or Dolby Digital processes at one time (see Table 4-1).
You can perform an offline test to make sure you have the right number of license credits
and enough MCPS capacity. Select your proposed options at Miscellaneous > Licensing
and MCPS Planner. Then, in the MCPS Usage and Credit Cost field, you can see how
many credits and how much MCPS usage you are testing. The AAP MCPS and Credit
Remaining fields show how many license credits and how much MCPS capacity are still
available. If you exceed your limits, the planner will display a negative number. (In actual use,
if you exceed your credits and MCPS limits, the options will not be enabled.)

Enabling DTS Neural and Dolby Modes

Follow these steps to enable the DTS Neural and Dolby Modes:
1 Consult Table 4-1, and then select either select Normal or Minimum at Misc > Other >
AAP Latency Mode.
The Minimum setting will reduce latency for AAP 1 and 3, but disable AAP 2 and 4.
Leave the setting at Normal if more than 2 AAPs are required.
2 Select one of the four slots in the Advanced Audio Processing (AAP) block.
3 Select the processing mode you need at General > Processing Mode.
4 In the drop down box at the top of the column, change your selection from General to the
mode you selected in step 3 (default is None).
5 Wait several seconds for the fields to refresh.
6 Configure the parameters that are available in your mode (parameters that are not
applicable are grayed out).
Once you have selected your DTS Neural modes, the Selection Status parameter
(AAP x > General) displays one of the following:
 Good
 Not Enough License Credit
 Not Enough MCPS
 Not Enough MCPS and License Credit
7 From the main section of the Advanced Audio Processing (AAP) block, (select AAP x
Input Routing and then select your audio sources.
8 In the Audio Output Routing and Delay block, select the destinations for your audio.

Dolby-E Alignment
It is important to maintain a proper timing relationship between the Dolby-E header and the
first line of video especially when recording video with embedded audio on tape transports.
This is commonly known as the guard band. On the Selenio X100, the Dolby-E alignment
timing is determined by the value of the SDI 1 or SDI 2 Dolby E Start Line embedder
controls in EMB x >Controls.
Note: If Dolby E is embedded, the module’s output frame rate must match the frame rate
of the Dolby E stream.
102 Selenio X100
AAP Internal Metadata
Dolby Digital
When using Dolby Digital encoding, if you select AAP Internal metadata generator as the
Metadata Source one program is available (the Metadata Index parameter is disabled).
However, all other metadata sources have up to eight programs available. Use the
Metadata Index parameter to select the program you wish to encode.
Dolby E
Using Dolby E encoding, up to eight metadata programs may be encoded, depending on
the setting of the Program Configuration parameter. For example, if you set Program
Configuration to 5.1+2, two sets of metadata are encoded (one for 5.1, one for 2). If
Program Configuration is set to 8x1, eight sets of metadata are encoded. To configure
the metadata settings for each program, navigate to the AAP Internal Metadata menu
and select the desired program from the Program Select parameter. Then configure the
metadata settings as required.
Note: Dolby E is always in sync with the frame rate of the video. To ensure downstream
decoders work correctly, you must make the correct settings in Dolby E Sync Select
(default is Processing Ch 1 Output).
Dolby Audio Metadata

When you apply external metadata to the Selenio X100, the metadata properties persist
even after you remove the external metadata from the module. Performing a Factory
Default of the user settings does not clear the metadata properties that were received
when external metadata was present. After you remove the external metadata, you must
restart the module to clear the metadata properties.
For general information about the use of audio metadata in professional video applications,
visit the Dolby Web site at www.dolby.com.
Dual-Input Dolby Decoder

The dual-input Dolby Decoder feature is available for all of the Dolby Decoder modes: Dolby
Digital Decoder (M7), Dolby-E Decoder (M8) and Dolby E/Dolby Digital Decoder (M9). Once
an AAP is configured in one of the Dolby decoder modes, the Dual-Input function can be
activated in the menu (AAP-X Input Routing > AAP-X Dolby Source Select) by selecting
the appropriate source into AAP-X Secondary Dolby Source Select (the default is None).
This feature is useful for cases where a PCM program is available on one audio pair and a
Dolby program is available on a different audio pair. In such cases, the PCM pair needs to be
routed into the primary input, and the Dolby pair into the secondary input. The decoder will
automatically switch to PCM bypass (from the primary input) whenever the Dolby stream
stops.
Ensure that you check the read-only Bitstream Format parameter in the Dolby Decoder
menu (within the AAP block) to determine whether PCM input (Non-Dolby) or one of the
Dolby inputs is being processed.
Table 4-2 illustrates the behavior of the decoder. See the additional notes at the bottom of
the table.

Notes:
1. PCM = PCM audio or mute
2. AC3 = Dolby Digital stream
3. DE = Dolby-E stream
4. Avoid combinations shown with a gray background in this table. The decoder searches both input streams and
locks to the first stream detected; the search order is input #1, then input #2. As such, the output depends on
the alignment of the two input streams relative to each other.
The following important notes apply to the operation of the Dual-Input Dolby Decoder
feature:
 The Dual-Input feature is available for all Dolby Decoder modes.

 In Dual-Input mode, inputs may come only from the same audio de-embedder.
 In Dual-Input mode, the secondary input is dedicated for Dolby-only streams.
 Based on its intended use, in Dual-Input mode the primary input is normally PCM.
 In Dual-Input mode, combinations where both inputs are Dolby should be avoided.

DTS Neural Surround Audio UpMix
Overview
The DTS Neural Surround UpMix renders any two channel audio source (stereo, matrix
encoded stereo, LtRt, or DTS Neural Surround LwRw) as surround sound. The DTS Neural
Surround UpMix can simultaneously position individual elements within the surround field,
creating high levels of image stability and granularity. The UpMix technology avoids taking
“artistic license” with content by placing audio exactly where it would be heard in a
professional LEDE (Live End Dead End) listening environment. For example, mono or
pan-pot stereo will image in front of the listener, whereas stereo containing depth
information will surround the listener. You can use the DTS Neural Surround UpMix as a
stand-alone unit to monitor stereo production, or you can use it in tandem with the DTS
Neural Surround DownMix as a complete 5.1 transport solution. Figure 4-6 below shows
an UpMix taking a two-channel audio source (stereo, matrix encoded stereo, LtRt or DTS
Neural Surround LwRw) and rendering a 5.1 multi-channel mix.

DTS Neural Surround Audio DownMix
Overview
The DTS Neural Surround DownMix enables 5.1 surround sound to be transported through
any stereo infrastructure. The DownMix process is based upon the principle that both
natural stereo and 5.1 content are two-dimensional; both contain width and depth spatial
attributes.
The DTS Neural Surround DownMix can represent six channels of discreet audio sources in a
stereo DownMix by transforming the sources into pure intensity and coherence encoding.
By correcting overlaps of the signal sources in intensity, time, coherence, polarity, and phase
before the six channels are combined, the DTS Neural Surround DownMix accounts for the
problems suffered in traditional matrix encode systems—such as comb filtering, spatial
location distortion, etc.
The proprietary DTS Neural Audio “watermark process” faithfully reproduces surround
information when it is rendered by the DTS Neural Surround UpMix or any LtRt system. In
brief, the DTS Neural Surround DownMix produces a stereo DownMix that accurately
represents the original content whether monitored in mono, stereo, matrix or DTS Neural
5.1 Surround Sound.
Figure 4-7 below shows a DownMix taking a multi-channel audio source. The DownMix
creates two-channel audio source using the DTS Neural Audio approach of embedding a
watermark signal within the stereo audio signal patch. The watermark signal contains
spatial and steering positioning information. The resulting stereo audio signal is also known
as LwRw.

DTS Neural Surround Audio MultiMerge
Overview
The DTS Neural Surround MultiMerge enables broadcasters to transition from stereo to 5.1
surround sound, providing viewers with a 24/7 surround sound experience. With
MultiMerge in line, 5.1 original content is passed unaffected to the viewer while original
stereo content is UpMixed to a 5.1 surround sound image. This provides the viewer with a
consistent surround experience.
The transition between 5.1 and stereo occurs seamlessly without the need of operator
intervention. By offering a 24/7 5.1 signal, AC3 metadata does not transition between 2/0
and 3/2 mode. This prevents audio clicks, pops, and dropouts. The process also avoids
taking “artistic license” with content by placing audio exactly where it would be heard in a
professional LEDE (Live End Dead End) listening environment. For example, mono or
pan-pot stereo will image in front of the listener, whereas stereo containing depth
information, or LtRt encoding, will surround the listener.
You can use the MultiMerge in combination with the DTS Neural Surround DownMix device
to pass 5.1 through stereo-only facilities and therefore eliminate the need for costly master
control upgrades.
Figure 4-8 shows how the MultiMerge takes a two-channel audio source (stereo, matrix
encoded stereo, LtRt or DTS Neural Surround LwRw) and render a 5.1 multi-channel mix; in
combination with taking original multi-channel content and creating a stereo DownMixed
signal, depending on the input configuration and content source used.

DTS Neural Loudness Control
Overview
The Selenio X100 offers four channels of DTS Neural Loudness Control—a loudness leveling
device that uses advanced psycho-acoustic and signal processing techniques to accurately
detect and regulate the perceived loudness of stereo and 5.1 sources. Using this feature,
you can regulate audio without creating the perception of being “squished” or
compressed.
One of the important aspects of loudness control is frequency compensation, also known as
loudness shaping. Loudness studies dating back to Fletcher /Munson in the 1930s found
that the human ear is more sensitive to different frequencies at different loudness levels.
The Loudness Shaping (Frequency Compensation) parameter preserves the same
perceptual frequency balance as the input signal, while correcting the loudness to match a
desired Target Level.
For example, with Loudness Shaping enabled at a medium level, signals that fall below
the Target Level setting have more gain added to middle frequencies than higher or lower
frequencies. This preserves the original spectral balance. Conversely, signals that fall above
the Target Level setting will have middle frequencies attenuated more than higher or
lower frequencies. Because the Loudness Shaping parameter applies less gain to high and
low frequencies, high or low frequency noise does not become over-emphasized.

A Laser Safety Guidelines
Laser Safety for Fiber Optic Back Modules

WARNING!
Use of controls, adjustments, and procedures other than those specified in this
document may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.
Optical fiber telecommunication systems use semiconductor laser transmitters that emit
infrared light that is normally not visible to the human eye. Although a conventional laser
produces a small beam of light, the power density is very high, and it can damage your eyes.
If a beam of laser light enters the eye, the eye magnifies and focuses the energy on the
retina. The energy that reaches the retina can be as much as 100,000 times more than at the
cornea and, as a result, it can burn the retina.
Laser transmission products are classified in four major groups (Class 1, 2, 3, and 4),
according to their emissions and potential for causing injury. Fiber optic transmitter modules
in this series are designated Class 1.
Precautions for Enclosed Systems

In its normal operating mode, an optical fiber communication system is totally enclosed and
presents no risk of eye injury. However, if the fiber optic cables that interconnect various
components of an optical fiber disconnect or break, you may be exposed to laser emissions.
Also, technicians may be exposed to laser emissions during installation and servicing.
Unlike some other laser designs, semiconductor lasers have a highly divergent beam that
decreases rapidly with distance. The greater the distance, the less energy will enter the eye,
and the less potential risk for eye injury.
WARNING!
Eye damage may occur if an optical instrument such as a microscope, magnifying
glass, or eye loupe is used to stare at the energized fiber end.
Under normal operating conditions, optical fiber telecommunication systems are completely
enclosed; nonetheless, observe the following precautions:
 Do not stare into optical connectors or broken fibers.

 Ensure technicians have satisfactorily completed an approved training course before
performing installation or maintenance.
 Ensure there are appropriate warning labels near the optical ports.
142 Appendix A
Laser Safety Guidelines
Precautions for Unenclosed Systems

During service, maintenance, or restoration, an optical fiber telecommunication system is
considered unenclosed. Under these conditions, follow the practices described below.
CAUTION!
Only authorized, trained personnel shall be permitted to do service, maintenance,
and restoration.
1 Avoid exposing the eye to emissions from unterminated, energized optical connectors at
close distances.
2 Ensure that only authorized, trained personnel use optical test equipment during
installation or servicing.
3 Turn off all laser sources before scanning a fiber with an optical test set.
4 Keep all unauthorized personnel away from the immediate area of the optical fiber systems
during installation and service.
For guidance on the safe use of optical fiber communication systems in the workplace,
consult ANSI Z136.2, American National Standard for Safe Use of Lasers in the U.S. or
outside the U.S., IEC-60825, Part 2.
Label The label shown in Figure A-1A-1 is applicable to Class 1 laser products.

Inspecting and Cleaning Fiber Optic Connections

When connecting fibers, ensure that you do not touch the end of the fiber, or allow it to
become dirty. Small amounts of microscopic dust or other contaminants can seriously
impair or disable a fiber optic network. If you touch the end of a fiber prior to connecting it,
or otherwise allow it to become dirty, you must carefully inspect and clean the connection.
Table A-1 lists some typical contaminants of a fiber optic connection.
Table A-1 Typical Contaminants

Contaminant Comments
Dust particle, 1 micron Can block up to 1% of the light transmission, creating a
loss of 0.05 dB
Dust particle, 9 microns Although microscopic, the particle can completely block
the fiber core
Human hair Typically 50 to 75 microns in diameter
Selenio X100 143
Table A-1 Typical Contaminants (Continued)

Contaminant Comments
Oil Frequently caused by touching
Film residues Can accumulate from vapors or smoke
Powdery coatings Can be left behind after water or other solvents evaporate
Important Points
 Before you begin cleaning, always inspect the fiber connections.
 Inspect and clean both fiber ends every time you make a connection.
 Keep a protective cap on unplugged fiber connectors.
 Do not touch the end of a fiber.
 Store unused protective caps in a clean resealable container, located nearby for easy
access.
 Do not reuse cleaning tissues or swabs.
 Do not allow alcohol or another wet cleaning agent to dry on a fiber end.
 Never touch the dispenser tip of an alcohol bottle or any clean portion of a tissue or
swab.
 Use care when handling the fiber; do not twist or pull.
 Keep your cleaning fluids away from open flame or spark.
Figure A-1A-2 describes the acceptable limits of defects in a fiber connection.
Zone 1
Scratches and dust (0 to 25 micron diameter)
No scratches or digs are allowed
Zone 2
(25 to 60 micron diameter)
Maximum of 3 scratches <3.0 micron width is acceptable;
Maximum of 1 light dig of <3.0 micron is acceptable
Zone 3
(60 to 120 micron diameter)
No scratches >3.0 microns are acceptable;
Maximum of 3 digs of <10 microns are acceptable
Maximum 10 micron diameter dig is acceptable
Figure A-2 Fiber Optic Cross-Section

144 Appendix A
Inspection and Cleaning Procedure
Inspection
To inspect and clean the fibers, follow these steps:
1 Ensure the fiber is not “live.”
WARNING!
Eye damage may occur if an optical instrument such as a microscope, magnifying
glass, or eye loupe is used to stare at an energized fiber end.
2 Inspect the fiber endface with a fiberscope.

3 If the fiber endface is clean, return to the installation instructions; if the connector is dirty,
proceed to the dry cleaning instructions below.
Dry Cleaning
If you are using cartridge- or pocket-style dry cleaning tools, follow the manufacturer’s
directions. If you are using lint-free wipes, follow these steps:
1 Fold the lint-free wipe four to eight times into a square, taking care to avoid touching the
cleaning surface of the wipe.
2 Lightly wipe the fiber tip in the central portion of the lint-free wipe.
Do not scrub the fiber. Excessive rubbing will leave scratches.
3 Repeat the wiping action on another clean section of the wipe or a new wipe.
4 Inspect the connector again with the fiberscope.
5 If the connection is clean, return to the installation steps; if the connector is still dirty,
proceed to the wet cleaning instructions.
Wet Cleaning
Using 99.8% isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes, follow these steps to wet clean the fiber:
1 Fold the wipe into a square, about 4 to 8 layers thick.

2 Moisten one section of the lint-free wipe with one drop of 99.8% alcohol, ensuring that a
portion of the wipe remains dry.
3 Lightly wipe the fiber end in the alcohol-moistened portion of the lint-free wipe.
4 Immediately repeat the wiping action on the dry section of the wipe, removing any residual
alcohol.
5 Inspect the fiber endface again, and if necessary, repeat the wet cleaning with another
clean section of the lint-free wipe.
CAUTION!
Do not scrub the fiber. Excessive rubbing will leave scratches.
6 Dry clean any remaining residue, and then inspect the connector again.
Selenio X100 145
7 If the contamination persists, repeat the dry and wet cleaning procedure until the endface is
clean.
If the fiber end still remains dirty after repeated cleaning attempts, call Customer
Service for further instructions; if the fiber end is clean, return to the installation
instructions.
