Chapter 2 Avid DS Hardware Overview Signal Flow The following sections provide an overview of the signal flow during capture and playback. The Avid DS Nitris software controls the process. Capture Mode Capture mode lets you use Avid DS Nitris to capture video and audio from the VTR. • The video output of the VTR goes through the Avid Nitris DNA to the Nitris Base board, then to the Nitris Codec board, and from there to the video storage array.
House Sync A sync generator or house sync provides the synchronizing composite signal to all other devices (video and audio) that must lock to the main video program. This analog composite reference video signal, called “color black” or “black-burst” video, is a timing pulse that is added to a composite video signal and contains horizontal, vertical, and color synchronizing information.
Chapter 2 Avid DS Hardware Overview Trim-level Sync In the case of HD video devices, you need a tri-level sync. Tri-level sync could be considered synonymous to black-burst video in that it is simply the reference synchronizing information from the facility’s master generator. Each HD format needs a specific tri-level sync. You must use the proper tri-level sync to synchronize your VTR and the Nitris DNA video subsystem for all the HD formats supported by Avid DS.
House Sync Sync Topology When you sync analog and digital video/audio devices, it is always preferable to feed every component with a separate black-burst or tri-level sync signal in a star pattern. Avoid looping the reference signal, by terminating any unused loop out with a 75 ohm terminator. A typical star pattern sync topology Master house sync generator NTSC/PAL black-burst generator Tri-level sync generator Video Distr. Amp To analog Reference In SD VTR To SD Sync Video Distr.
Chapter 2 Avid DS Hardware Overview Installing and Removing the Avid Fan The documentation that ships with the HP Workstation explains how to install optional equipment.
