Introduction
9084 Functional Description
9084 Functional Description
Figure 1-1 shows a functional block diagram of the 9084. The 9084 provides
HD/SD-SDI RGB color correction with frame synchronization that supports
all popular SD and HD video formats including 525i, 625i, 720p, 720f, 1080i,
1080p, and 1080psF. Input video format is auto-detected by the card. The
9084 accepts either an HD SDI input (1.485 Gbit) or an SD SDI input (270
Mbit) and automatically equalizes for cable loss. The 9084 also provides
processing-bypassed reclocked SDI outputs.
Processed video is synchronized to either a frame-wide reference or a local
reference. For further flexibility in resolving system timing problems,
additional fixed delay can be added to the video. Ancillary Data (VANC) is
protected, and is passed from input to output ensuring data is not lost during
the frame sync operation.
9084 Input/Outputs
The 9084 provides the following video inputs and outputs:
•
Inputs:
• HD/SD-SDI IN – dual-rate HD/SD-SDI input
•
Outputs:
• HD/SD-SDI OUT – four dual-rate HD/SD-SDI buffered video
outputs
• RCK OUT – four dual-rate HD/SD-SDI reclocked buffered video

Introduction
9084 Functional Description
Color Corrector
The 9084 color corrector converts the YCbCr SDI input video to the 4:4:4
RGB color space (where the color correction is applied), and then back to
YCbCr SDI on the output. Controls are available to adjust each RGB level
independently for both white levels (gain) and black levels (offset). Gamma
can also be independently adjusted for each RGB channels. Various controls
can be ganged to provide adjustment for all three color channels
simultaneously.
Video Processor
The 9084 provides full video processing control (luma gain and lift, chroma
gain, and color phase) of the output video. The 9084 video processor also
provides white, black, and chroma clip control. Clipping can be applied with
either a hard or soft white clip and also a chroma saturation clip. Luma and
chroma gain controls can be ganged to provide adjustment for both gain
controls.
Frame Sync Function
This function provides for frame sync control using either one of two external
EXT REF IN (1,2) reference signals distributed with the card frame, or the input
video as a frame sync reference.
This function allows horizontal and/or vertical offset to be added between the
output video and the frame sync reference.
A Reset Framesync function resets the frame sync following any horizontal or
vertical offset changes, clearing any buffered video and re-establishing the
frame sync.
In the event of input video loss of signal, this function provides for disabling
the video, going to a desired color raster, or freezing to the last intact frame
(frame having valid SAV and EAV codes).
AFD Inserter
This function provides for assignment and insertion of AFD codes into the
SDI output video. Using this function, AFD codes in accordance with the
standard 4-bit AFD code designations can be applied to the output video.
This function checks for any existing AFD code within the received video
input. If a code is present, the code is displayed. When used in conjunction
with a separate downstream card capable of providing AFD-directed scaling,
the image can in turn be scaled in accordance with the AFD coding embedded
by this card.
The function also allows the selection/changing of the AFD code and
ancillary data line number for the outputted AFD code.

Note: • To communicate with DashBoard™ or a Cobalt OGCP-9000/CC or OGCP-9000 Control Panel,
the frame must have the optional MFC-8310-N or MFC-8320-N network controller card installed.
• DashBoard™ and the Remote Control Panels provide network control of the 9084 as shown. The
value displayed at any time on the card, or via DashBoard™ or a Control Panel is the actual value
as set on the card, with the current value displayed being the actual value as effected by the card.
Parameter changes made by any of these means are universally accepted by the card (for
example, a change made using the card controls will change the setting displayed on
DashBoard™ and a Control Panel; a change made using DashBoard™ will similarly change the
setting displayed on a Control Panel and the card itself).

Introduction
9084 Functional Description
•
Built-in Card Edge User Interface – Using the built-in card edge
controls and display, card control settings can be set using a front
panel menu which is described in Chapter 3,“Operating Instructions”.
Note: Some of the 9084 functions described in this manual are available only when
using the DashBoard™, or Cobalt® OGCP-9000 or OGCP-9000/CC Control
Panels user interfaces.
•
DashBoard™ User Interface – Using DashBoard™, the 9084 and
other cards installed in openGear™ frames such as the Cobalt®
8310-C Frame can be controlled from a computer and monitor.
DashBoard™ allows users to view all frames on a network with
control and monitoring for all populated slots inside a frame. This
simplifies the setup and use of numerous modules in a large
installation and offers the ability to centralize monitoring. Cards
define their controllable parameters to DashBoard™, so the control
interface is always up to date.
The DashBoard™ software can be downloaded from the Cobalt
the search window). The DashBoard™ user interface is described in
Chapter 3,“Operating Instructions”.
Note: If network remote control is to be used for the frame and the frame has not yet
been set up for remote control, Cobalt® reference guide COMPASS™
Remote Control User Guide” (PN 9000RCS-RM) provides thorough infor-
mation and step-by-step instructions for setting up network remote control of
COMPASS™ cards using DashBoard™.
•
Cobalt® OGCP-9000/CC and OGCP-9000 Remote Control
Panels – The OGCP-9000/CC and OGCP-9000 Remote Control
Panels conveniently and intuitively provide parameter monitor and
control of the 9084 and other video and audio processing terminal
equipment meeting the open-architecture Cobalt COMPASS™ cards
for openGear™ standard.
In addition to circumventing the need for a computer to monitor and
control signal processing cards, the Control Panels allow quick and
intuitive access to hundreds of cards in a facility, and can monitor and
allow adjustment of multiple parameters at one time.
The Remote Control Panels are totally compatible with the
openGear™ control software DashBoard™; any changes made with
either system are reflected on the other. The Remote Control Panel
user interface is described in Chapter 3,“Operating Instructions”.

Rear I/O Module breaks out the 9084 card edge connections to BNC
connectors that interface with other components and systems in the signal
chain.
These required BNC connections are provided by either an 8310-BNC or
8310-C-BNC frame (which both have a built-in BNC connector backplane
module), or by using an optional RM-9084-A Rear I/O Module.

•
•
•
Installing the 9084 Into a Frame Slot
CAUTION
Heat and power distribution requirements within a frame may dictate specific
slot placement of cards. Cards with many heat-producing components should
be arranged to avoid areas of excess heat build-up, particularly in frames
using only convection cooling. The 9084 has a moderate power dissipation
(15 W max.). As such, avoiding placing the card adjacent to other cards with
similar dissipation values if possible.
CAUTION
This device contains semiconductor devices which are
susceptible to serious damage from Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD). ESD damage may not be immediately
apparent and can affect the long-term reliability of the
device.
Avoid handling circuit boards in high static environments
such as carpeted areas, and when wearing synthetic fiber
clothing. Always use proper ESD handling precautions
and equipment when working on circuit boards and
related equipment.

pre-equipped with a 100-BNC rear I/O module installed across the entire
backplane) or a slot already equipped with a suitable I/O module, proceed to
card installation steps below.
• If installing the 9084 in a slot with no rear I/O module, an optional
RM-9084-A Rear I/O Module is required before cabling can be connected.
Install the Rear I/O Module as described in Installing a Rear I/O Module (p.
2-3).
CAUTION
If required, make certain Rear I/O Module(s) are installed before installing the
9084 into the frame slot. Damage to card and/or Rear I/O Module can occur if
module installation is attempted with card already installed in slot.
Note: Check the packaging in which the 9084 was shipped for any extra items such
as a Rear I/O Module connection label. In some cases, this label is shipped
with the card and to be installed on the Rear I/O connector bank correspond-
ing to the slot location of the card.
Install the 9084 into a frame slot as follows:
1. Determine the slot in which the 9084 is to be installed.
2. Open the frame front access panel.
3. While holding the card by the card edges, align the card such that the
plastic ejector tab is on the bottom.
4. Align the card with the top and bottom guides of the slot in which the
card is being installed.
5. Gradually slide the card into the slot. When resistance is noticed, gently
continue pushing the card until its rear printed circuit edge terminals
engage fully into the rear I/O module mating connector.
CAUTION
If card resists fully engaging in rear I/O module mating connector, check for
alignment and proper insertion in slot tracks. Damage to card and/or rear I/O
module may occur if improper card insertion is attempted.
6. Verify that the card is fully engaged in rear I/O module mating connector.
7. Close the frame front access panel.
Note: The 9084 BNC inputs are internally 75-ohm terminated. It is not necessary to
terminate unused BNC inputs or outputs.

Control and Display Descriptions
This section describes the user interface controls, indicators, and displays
(both on-card and remote controls) for using the 9084 card. The 9084
functions can be accessed and controlled using any of the user interfaces
described here.
The format in which the 9084 functional controls, indicators, and displays
appear and are used varies depending on the user interface being used.
Regardless of the user interface being used, access to the 9084 functions (and
the controls, indicators, and displays related to a particular function) follows a
general arrangement of Function Submenus under which related parameters
can be accessed (as described in Function Submenu/Parameter Submenu
Overview below).
After familiarizing yourself with the arrangement described in Function
Submenu/Parameter Submenu Overview, proceed to the subsection for the
particular user interface being used. Descriptions and general instructions for
using each of the three user interfaces are individually described in the
following subsections:

Control and Display Descriptions
Note: Instructions provided here are applicable for all available user control meth-
ods. However, DashBoard™ and the Remote Control Panel provide greatly
simplified user interfaces as compared to using the 9084 card edge controls.
For this reason, it is strongly recommended that DashBoard™ or a Remote
Control Panel be used for all 9084 applications other than the most basic
cases.
Note: Not all functions available using DashBoard™ or the Control Panel are avail-
able using the card edge controls.
Note: When a setting is changed, settings displayed on DashBoard™ (or the
Remote Control Panel) are the settings as effected by the 9084 card itself and
reported back to the remote control; the value displayed at any time is the
actual value as set on the card.
Function Submenu/Parameter Submenu Overview
The functions and related parameters available on the 9084 card are organized
into function submenus, which consist of parameter groups as shown below.
Figure 3-1 shows how the 9084 card and its submenus are organized, and also
provides an overview of how navigation is performed between cards, function
submenus, and parameters.
If using DashBoard™ or a Remote Control Panel, the
desired 9084 card is first selected.

The desired function submenu is next
selected.
Function Submenus consist of parameter
groups related to a particular 9084 card
function (for example, “Video Proc”).

Individual Parameters
Each submenu consists of groups of parameters
related to the function submenu. Using the “Video

Cobalt® Remote Control Panel User Interfaces
the Remote Control Panels have a Select Submenu key that is used to display
a list of function submenus. From this list, a control knob on the Control
Panel is used to select a function from the list of displayed function submenu
items.
When the desired function submenu is selected, each parametric control or
selection list item associated with the function is displayed. Scalar (numeric)
parametric values can then be adjusted as desired using the control knobs,
which act as potentiometers. Items in a list can then be selected using the
control knobs which correspondingly act as rotary switches. (In this manner,
the setting effected using controls and selection lists displayed on the Control
Panel are comparable to the submenu items accessed and committed using the
9084 card edge controls.)

Provides video Frame Sync and delay control tools.
Framesync
• Framesync Enable
Disables the Frame Sync function, or selects from choices below.
• Off: Disables Frame Sync function; output video timing matches the
input video timing.
• Reference 1: Allows Frame Sync function to use external
Reference 1 as the reference standard.
• Reference 2: Allows Frame Sync function to use external
Reference 2 as the reference standard.
Note: If Reference 1 or Reference 2 is selected and an
appropriate external reference is not received, the
indication appears in the Card Info
status portion of DashBoard™, indicating invalid frame sync
reference error. (Additionally, the card edge ERR indicator
illuminates indicating the same.) External reference signals
Reference 1 and Reference 2 are distributed to the card
and other cards via an 8310 frame bus.
• Input Video: Uses the input video signal as the
reference standard.
Note: If Input Video is used for framesync, any timing instability
on the input video will result in corresponding instability on
the output video.
• Vertical Delay Control
When Framesync is enabled, sets vertical delay (in number of lines of
output video/format) between the output video and the frame sync
reference.
(Range is -1124 thru 1124 lines.)
Note: Lines refer to lines in the output video format, and not to the
reference format.
• Horizontal Delay Control
When Framesync is enabled, sets (in µsec of output video timing)
horizontal delay between the output video and the frame sync reference.
(Range is -64.000 thru 64.000 µsec)
Note: When an external framesync reference is used, the card will not
produce a framesync reset until the variance between framesync
reference and output video exceeds ± 2 clock periods. Therefore, a
framesync reset will not result if offsets within this window are
applied.
To apply an offset/framesync reset within this window, first apply a
relatively large offset, then apply the target smaller offset.
Example: To apply a 1-period offset, first apply a 10-period positive
offset and then apply a 9-period negative offset. This results in the
target 1-period offset being applied to the output video.

• Minimum Latency Frames Control
When Framesync is enabled, specifies the smallest amount of latency
allowed by the frame sync (latency measurement in output video frames).
The frame sync will not output a frame unless the specified number of
frames are captured in the buffer. The operational latency of the frame
sync is always between the specified minimum latency and
minimum latency plus one frame (not one field).
(Maximum range is 0 to 13.)
Minimum Latency Frames Control
Note: Due to card memory limits, the maximum available Minimum
Latency Frames is related to the output video format selected.
For example, with a 1080i59.94 output, the maximum allowed
setting is 5. For a 1080i film (23.98) output, the maximum allowed
setting is 3. Conversely, greater maximum settings are allowed for
SD formats such as 525i59.94, where the practical maximum limit
is 13.
When using this control, be sure to check the Framesync Status
display as follows:
• Latency frames selection within limits.
• Latency frames selection exceeds limits.
• Video Delay Display
Displays the current input-to-output video delay (in msec units) as well as
in terms of Frames/fractional frame (in number of lines).
• Framesync Status Display
Displays the current framesync status as follows:
• Framesync status OK.
• Framesync Enable set to Off.
• Improper or missing framesync reference.
• Latency frames selection exceeds limits.
Note: See Minimum Latency Frames Control (p. 3-23) for more
information about this message.
• Loss of Input Signal Selection
In the event of input video Loss of Signal (LOS), determines action to be
taken as follows:
• Disable Outputs: Disable all outputs.
• Freeze Last Frame: Freeze image to last good frame (last frame
having valid SAV and EAV codes).
• Freeze to Color: Freeze image to a color raster (as selected using
Framesync LOS Freeze Color control).
Note: If this card is used to also pass embedded audio, note that
audio noise will occur upon loss of input with “Freeze Last
Frame” selected.

Color and Video Correction Examples Using the 9084
Shown below are examples of using the 9084 to provide parametric color and
video correction.
On-Set Monitor Color Correction Example
A typical use for the 9084 Color Corrector function is to provide color
correction for a monitor when an anchor desk set includes a monitor, as
shown in Figure 3-9.
In the example setup shown in Figure 3-9, a monitor is located behind the
anchor desk. When the camera includes the monitor in its shot, typically the
color balance of the monitor will appear to be incorrect due to the
characteristics of the camera responding differently to the spectral light
emissions from the monitor as compared to the natural light spectra emissions
that exist across the set overall. This monitor color balance problem is a
function of the camera(s), and can vary with different camera models.

Ideally, this display would essentially result in a waveform showing identical
RGB components corresponding to the grayscale monochrome bar spectrum
being fed to the set monitor. However, as shown in Figure 3-10 with no

Troubleshooting
This section provides general troubleshooting information and specific
symptom/corrective action for the 9084 card. The 9084 card requires no
periodic maintenance in its normal operation; if any error indication (as
described in this section) occurs, use this section to correct the condition.
Error and Failure Indicator Overview
The 9084 card itself and its remote control systems all (to varying degrees)
provide error and failure indications. Depending on how the 9084 card is
being used (i.e, standalone or network controlled through DashBoard™ or a
Remote Control Panel), check all available indications in the event of an error
or failure condition.
The various 9084 card and remote control error and failure indicators are
individually described below.
Note: The descriptions below provide general information for the various status and
error indicators. For specific failures, also use the appropriate subsection
listed below.

9084 Card Edge Status/Error Indicators and Display
Figure 3-13 shows and describes the 9084 card edge status indicators and
display. These indicators and the display show status and error conditions
relating to the card itself and remote (network) communications (where
applicable). Because these indicators are part of the card itself and require no
external interface, the indicators are particularly useful in the event of
communications problems with external devices such as network remote
control devices.

Error Description
Red indicator icon in Card Access/Navigation Tree pane shows card with Error
condition (in this example, the Card Access/Navigation Tree pane shows a general
error issued by the 9084 card in slot 7).
Specific errors are displayed in the Card Info pane (in this example “No connection
to device” indicating 9084 card is not connecting to frame/LAN).
If the 9084 card is not connecting to the frame or LAN, all controls are grayed-out (as
shown in the example here).
Gray indicator icon in Card Access/Navigation Tree pane shows card(s) are not
being seen by DashBoard™ due to lack of connection to frame LAN (in this
example, both a 9084 card in slot 7 and the MFC-8310-N Network Controller Card
for its frame in slot 0 are not being seen).
Yellow indicator icon in Card Access/Navigation Tree pane shows card with Alert
condition (in this example, the Card Access/Navigation Tree pane shows a general
alert issued by the MFC-8310-N Network Controller Card).
Clicking the card slot position in the Card Access/Navigation Tree (in this example
Network Controller Card “Slot 0: MFC-8310-N”) opens the Card Info pane for the
selected card. In this example, a “Fan Door Open” specific error is displayed.
Yellow indicator icon in 9084 Card Info pane shows error alert, along with cause for
alert (in this example, the 9084 is receiving no video input, or a video input that is
invalid for the card and/or its current settings).
Where available, error messages within a function submenu pane show highly
specific information relating to detected errors (in this example, message shows an
invalid or missing Framesync Enable reference selection).

Troubleshooting
Basic Troubleshooting Checks
Failures of a general nature (affecting many cards and/or functions
simultaneously), or gross inoperability errors are best addressed first by
performing basic checks before proceeding further. Table 3-4 provides basic
system checks that typically locate the source of most general problems. If
required and applicable, perform further troubleshooting in accordance with
the other troubleshooting tables in this section.
Table 3-4 Basic Troubleshooting Checks
Item
Checks
Verify power presence and
characteristics
• On both the frame Network Controller Card and the 9084, in all cases when power is
being properly supplied there is always at least one indicator illuminated. Any card
showing no illuminated indicators should be cause for concern.
• Check the Power Consumed indications for both the +12 V and -7.5 V supply rails
for the 9084 card. This can be observed using the DashBoard™ Card Info pane, or
• If either of the rail supplies show no power being consumed, either the frame
power supply, connections, or the 9084 card itself is defective.
• If either of the rail supplies show excessive power being consumed (see
may be defective.
Check Cable connection
secureness and connecting
points
Make certain all cable connections are fully secure (including coaxial cable attachment
to cable ferrules on BNC connectors). Also, make certain all connecting points are as
intended. Make certain the selected connecting points correlate to the intended card
inputs and/or outputs. Cabling mistakes are especially easy to make when working
with large I/O modules.
Card seating within slots
Make certain all cards are properly seated within its frame slot. (It is best to assure
proper seating by ejecting the card and reseating it again.)
Check status indicators and
displays
On both DashBoard™ and the 9084 card edge indicators, red indications signify an
error condition. If a status indicator signifies an error, proceed to the following tables in
this section for further action.
Troubleshoot by substitution
All cards within the frame can be hot-swapped, replacing a suspect card or module
with a known-good item.

9084 Processing Error Troubleshooting
Table 3-5 provides 9084 processing troubleshooting information. If the 9084
card exhibits any of the symptoms listed in Table 3-5, follow the
troubleshooting instructions provided.
In the majority of cases, most errors are caused by simple errors where the
9084 is not appropriately set for the type of signal being received by the card.
Note: The error indications shown below are typical for the corresponding error con-
ditions listed. Other error indications not specified here may also be displayed
on DashBoard™ and/or the 9084 card edge status indicators.
Note: Where errors are displayed on both the 9084 card and network remote con-
trols, the respective indicators and displays are individually described in this
section.
