Ignore Keykode/INK errors > 3 feet, Ignore Timecode errors > 2 seconds 3 - GPI Mode. Ignore errors if the INP_FUNC_STAR_DISABLE GPI is active simultaneously with the input video frame 4 - Tag Mode. Ignore errors if a simultaneous Tag number change is also detected 5 - Scene/Take. Ignore errors if a simultaneous Scene or Take number change is also detected. I have created a new input function that can be assigned to any GPI input pin, INP_FUNC_STAR_DISABLE (-73). If one of the GPI input pins is assigned this functionality, and if the input pin is active and if parameter 15-9 bits 8 to 11 are set to a nibble value of 3, and if one or more of parameter 15-9 bits 0 to 4 are on, then the HDSD9155Q will ignore a discontinuity of the corresponding code, for that video frame. Because the HDSD9155Q has 4 or 5 frames of video delay, it will not be necessary to turn the GPI on in advance of the discontinuity. The GPI must be on during the HDSD9155Q's _INPUT_ video frame which contains the discontinuity - the 1st frame with the non-sequential number in the ANC code. IE the GPI's are sampled at the INPUT side. GPI's are sampled at 10% and 60% of video frame time line. You may turn the GPI on early, but you must still have the GPI on during the frame of discontinuity. I have added a Tag mode, and a Scene/Take mode as well, because it struck me that this might be the most natural way of turning off the Error indicators. In these modes, if a change in the Tag number or a change in either the Scene or Take is detected coincident with a discontinuity in a selected code, then the error will be ignored. To facilitate the use of these new controls, I have added a new OSD menu, under VIDEO / WINDOWS called ERROR INDICATORS. This will allow you easy selection of the Window star mode, and which windows will be controlled by that mode. If you prefer to use the OSD controls exclusively, I would suggest that you delete parameter 15-9 from Trackers SYSTEM PARAMETER list. I realize that the system Parameter bit assignment is not the easiest method for someone not familiar with binary math. We plan on implementing in Tracker a 'user-friendly' control similar to the OSD control, in the near future. Until that is accomplished, Tracker's control will only be achieved by selected the correct bit/nibble values for system parameter 15-9 directly. --------------- Release notes for HDSD9155Q firmware build 3388, Mar 7th, 2008 * fixes new issue with class 15 parameters not being remembered through power cycles * fixes handling of 625i when in SD-to-SD mode * Enables parameter 15-11, the output video offset control, for SD-to-SD mode. Parameter can be set to any value but the firmware will limit the operation to the range of 0 to +7 lines of delay. --------------- Release notes for HDSD9155Q firmware build 3351, Mar 4th, 2008 * Modified the behaviour of keykode and ink windows when operating with parameter 15-9 turned on: errors smaller than 3 feet will cause an asterisk to appear, but discontinuities greater than 3 feet will not. * N.B discovered an issue where system parameters of class 15 are not saved/restored correctly through a power cycle. Unresolved in this build. --------------- Release notes for HDSD9155Q firmware build 3340, Mar 4th, 2008 Added new system parameter control to turn off the asterisk (*) which occurs on counting discontinuities. The new parameter is class 15, paramter 9, and it is a bit mapped parameter to allow individual control of the asterisk. Bit 0 (Decimal value 1) - Original Video timecode window - Bit 1 (Decimal value 2) - Video Timecode window Bit 2 (Decimal value 4) - Audio Timecode window Bit 3 (Decimal value 8) - Keykode window Bit 4 (Decimal value 16) - Ink window If parameter 15-9 is programed with any bit turned on, then the associated window will NOT display an asterisk (*) on encountering a counting discontinuity. The asterisk will still display when the counting source code is missing. Bits may be combined by adding the decimal values and programing the parameter 15-9 for the sum. For example: * To disable only the keykode asterisk, program parameter 15-9 with a decimal value of 8. * To disable the keykode asterisk, and the ink asterisk, program parameter 15-9 with a decimal value of 24 (8+16). * To disable the keykode asterisk, the ink asterisk, and the audio asterisk, program parameter 15-9 with a decimal value of 28 (8+16+4). Parameter 15-9 is remembered through power cycles. When the use for disabling an asterisk has been completed, it is recommended to return this parameter to it's default value of 0, or subsequent uses of the HDSD9155Q may overlook counting issues that may be important to the user. Be carefull about disabling the video timecode asterisk. This is the primary timecode, and it is usually desirable to be able to detect discontinuities is this timecode sequence.
