OVERVIEW Revision 1.3.7 Page 1-1

1. OVERVIEW

In live shows there is always the risk that certain actions, on the part of an artist or an intruder, might be

offensive to certain viewers. The Evertz HDSD9545DLY-PRO Profanity Protection device is designed to

give an operator complete control over the program content being broadcast to air.

The HDSD9545DLY-PRO enables the operator to insert the desired time delay, via a front panel control

and a display panel. There are two program paths that are HD and SD compatible. The main program

feed will usually be focused on the main detailed action. The secondary back-up path will generally offer a

wide angle shot, or some suitable alternative picture to the main content. Both channels are delayed by

the same amount of time. If an unscheduled, offensive event occurs, the operator has only to hit one

remote button to cause the program video and audio output to be clean switched to the alternative back-

up channel. When the offensive material is no longer present, the output can be returned to the main

detailed image, without the audience noticing that an edit has occurred.

On the standard unit the delay can be adjusted up to a maximum of 24 seconds for HDTV or SDTV. The

user can allocate this maximum delay to primary and secondary paths. Typically it is set for max 12

seconds primary and max 12 seconds secondary. When the –HD40 option is added, the delay can be

adjusted up to a maximum of 40 seconds for HDTV or 240 seconds for SDTV.

The HDSD9545DLY-PRO includes a built-in HD/SD quad split output that shows all four pictures on one

monitor. The four pictures are as follows:

• Program

• Delayed Program

• Safe

• Delayed Safe

Features:

• HD or SD SDI compatible – SMPTE 292M (1.5 Gb/s) and SMPTE 259M (270Mb/s) video signals

• Embedded Audio and Discrete (4ch AES) Audio Support

• Monitoring outputs of delayed program and delayed backup can be provided

• Selectable quad split monitoring outputs

• Clean transition between program and backup feed

• SoftSwitch™ audio

• Clean switch video

• Video and audio input relay bypass for power failure bypass protection

• Delay memory is solid state (no moving parts) - no hard drive to fail or maintain

• GPI control inputs for bypass triggering

• Programmable pre-trigger reaction time

• Optional dual power supplies

OVERVIEW Revision 1.3.7 Page 1-3

The on-air path routes through a 2x1 video switch that allows you to select between the

program chain Input A 'live' video (and audio) and the Input B 'safe' video/audio source

in the event that objectionable content is seen or heard. Therefore, the 'on air' output

provides the switched output between delayed program and delayed safe video so that

alternate video (and audio) can be switched to air after you have seen or heard the

objectionable content but before your viewers have.

Program and safe outputs are duplicates of the program and safe inputs, and delayed

program/delayed safe are delayed outputs of the respective inputs. A delay program

output will always be the same signal as the program input, but delayed by the amount

dialled in.

OVERVIEW Revision 1.3.7 Page 1-5

CLIFF EFFECT: (also referred to as the ‘digital cliff’) This is a phenomenon found in digital video systems

that describes the sudden deterioration of picture quality due to excessive bit errors, often

caused by excessive cable lengths. The digital signal will be perfect even though one of its

signal parameters is approaching or passing the specified limits. At a given moment,

however, the parameter will reach a point where the data can no longer be interpreted

correctly and the picture will become totally unrecognisable.

COMPONENT ANALOG: The non-encoded output of a camera, video tape recorder, etc., consisting of

the three primary colour signals: red, green, and blue (RGB) that together convey all

necessary picture information. In some component video formats these three components

have been translated into a luminance signal and two colour difference signals. For

example: Y, B-Y, R-Y.

COMPONENT DIGITAL: A digital representation of a component analog signal set. This is most often

Y, B-Y, R-Y. The encoding parameters are specified by CCIR-601. CCIR-656 and SMPTE

125M specify the parallel interface.

COMPOSITE ANALOG: An encoded video signal such as NTSC or PAL video that includes

horizontal and vertical synchronizing information.

activities, provides technical recommendations for the 625/50 line television systems.

EBU TECH 3267-E: The EBU recommendation for the parallel interface of 625 line digital video signal.

This is a revision of the earlier EBU Tech 3246-E standard that was in turn derived from

CCIR-601.

EDH: Error Detection and Handling (EDH) is defined in SMPTE RP-165 as a method of

determining when bit errors have occurred along the digital video path. According to

RP-165, two error detection checkwords are used, one for active picture samples, and the

other on a full field of samples. Three sets of flags are used to convey information

regarding detected errors to facilitate identification of faulty equipment or cabling. One set

of flags is associated with each checkword, and the third is used to evaluate ancillary data

integrity. The checkwords and flags are combined into a special error detection data packet

that is included as ancillary data in the serial digital signal.

EMBEDDED AUDIO: Digital audio is multiplexed onto a serial digital video data stream.

ITU: The United Nations regulatory body governing all forms of communications. ITU-R

(previously CCIR) regulates the radio frequency spectrum, while ITU-T (previously CCITT)

deals with the telecommunications standards.

ITU-R601: See CCIR601

PIXEL: The smallest distinguishable and resolvable area in a video image. A single point on the

screen. In digital video, a single sample of the picture. Derived from the words picture

element.

RESOLUTION: The number of bits (four, eight, ten, etc.) determines the resolution of the signal. Eight

bits is the minimum resolution for broadcast television signals.

4 bits = a resolution of 1 in 16.

8 bits = a resolution of 1 in 256.

10 bits = a resolution of 1 in 1024.

SERIAL DIGITAL: Digital information that is transmitted in serial form. Often used informally to refer to

serial digital television signals.

SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers): A professional organization that

recommends standards for the film and television industries.

SMPTE 125M: The SMPTE standard for bit parallel digital interface for component video signals.

SMPTE 125M defines the parameters required to generate and distribute component

video signals on a parallel interface.

SMPTE 244M: The SMPTE standard for bit parallel digital interface for composite video signals. SMPTE

244M defines the parameters required to generate and distribute composite video signals

on a parallel interface.

SMPTE 259M: The SMPTE standard for 525 line serial digital component and composite interfaces.

SMPTE 292M: The SMPTE standard for HDTV 1.5 Gb/s serial digital high definition video interfaces.

SMPTE 299M: The SMPTE standard for embedding AES audio into SMPTE 292M serial digital high

definition video.

SMPTE 292M: The SMPTE standard for HDTV 1.5 Gb/s serial digital high definition video interfaces.

TRS-ID: Abbreviation for "Timing Reference Signal Identification". A reference signal used to

maintain timing in composite digital systems (it is four words long).
