General description
PVDP-1006 series multistandard 6-channel video/audio processor is a rack-mountable 1U 44x482x340mm frame. If nesessary, PVDP-1006 may be converted into a desktop frame.

The nine available BNC input connectors in the "INPUT VIDEO" block are allocated depending on the input format currently selected.
PVDP-1006 rear panel view
The input signals are fed to the two multistandard decoders, the individual input configuration is user-presettable from the frontal panel. The first composite input is always DC-restored to allow the glitch-free commutation to the output to provide an automatic EE-bypass, if nesessary. The PRESET and the PROGRAM bus outputs of the switch are fed to the inputs of two synchronizers. The mixer stage accepts these two signals to provide the A«B transition. There are three types of transition: the instanteneous CUT and two gradual X and V - with a presettable transition rate. After the transition the input signals at the PRG and the PST busses are swapped to allow for the FLIP-FLOP transition mode. A program bus signal may be frame-frosen or replaced with the black field. The mixer's PRG output is fed to the DSK stage. To allow for the DSK preview the similar DSK stage is present at the mixer's PST output too. The DSK FILL and KEY signals are accepted in the SDI standard. The next stage is the logo inserter - graphic and/or textual, scrolling line. Please note that because there is only one logo inserter stage - it is not possible to insert to the PGM and PST busses simultaneously, the priority is given to the PGM. Optional noise reduction stage may be fitted between the mixer stage and the output PAL/SECAM/SDI encoders. The output of the audio mixer part is processed in the SDI encoder to provide the SDIembedded program output signal. The operation mode of all output encoders (PAL/SECAM/YUV/YPrPb and SDI) is presettable from mixer's frontal panel. The CV1 output is directly connected to the CV1 input in the power down condition and the "BYPASS" mode. The complete description of logo generator controls is found in the "LGTLoader User Manual" document.
Description of AUDIO path
The simplified AUDIO schematic (click to open in the new window)
The audio input is the DB-44 connector. The input signals are routed to the two 6x1 A bus and B bus matrixes. The analog audio is digitized by the 24-bits/48kHz ADCs. The SDI-deembedded audio is provided as one of the available audio sources. The next stage provides the 1kHz test signal and the capability to route either input signal (the left or the right one) to both channels. Then the variable-gain amplifier stage provides the gain and the balance presets. The mixer stage provides the PST»PRG transition of V, X or CUT type. After the transition all the PRG presets are transferred to the PST bus, thus enabling the FLIP-FLOP mode if nesessary. The mixed audio is routed to the SDI embedder and to DAC for an analog output. In the power-down condition the PRG output is directly connected to the first audio input to provide the relay bypass circuit. The DB-15 connector presents the PRG and PST output signals.
Controlling the PVDP-1006
The PVDP-1006 multistandard 6-channel video/audio processor is controllable:
- from it's own frontal panel
- from PFRP-3026, PPRP-4055 and PPRP-4056 remote panels
- from a Windows™ PC
- by GPI commands
All PVDP-1006 parameters and functions are editable from it's own frontal panel, which may be locked to prevent unintended actions.
The PFRP-3026 remote panel is attachable to the RS-485/RS-232 connector over the RS-485 network or via the RS-232 link. The following commands are available:
- IN1...IN6 input selection for the PRESET or PROGRAM bus (depends on the ASSIGN KEY PST/PRG setting). The preselected transition - CUT , X or V is available
- the scrolling line logo ON/OFF
- the graphic logo ON/OFF
- the PRESET»PROGRAM transition (only available if IN1...IN6 buttons are assigned to the PST bus)
- the DSK on the program bus ON/OFF
- the audio level manipulation for the PRESET or PROGRAM bus (depends on the ASSIGN KEY PST/PRG setting)
- an external programming insertion with one click of INSERT button
Any button on the PFRP-3026 panel may be locked to prevent unintended actions, any command from the panel may be configured to require the pressing of the two buttons simultaneously. The operation is possible over an unidirectional RS-232 link.
The PPRP-4055 panel differs from the PFRP-3026 in the following:
- input selection is available for the program bus only
- no INSERT button, no audio level controls
- four buttons for the GPI commands are added
The PPRP-4056 panel differs from the PPRP-4055 in the capability to manage the two PDMX-2006F multistandard 6-channel video/audio mixers simultaneously.
The remote controls from a Windows™ PC requires a relevant software package (sold separately) and either of:
- the PB-540-02 DB9<->RJ45 connector adapter on the computer side for the RS-232 connectivity
- the PIC-094 RS-232<->RS-485 interface adapter for the RS-485 network connectivity
In this case all basic PVDP-1006 functions are available, it is possible to synchronize mixer's internal CMOS clock and manage the meteostation data. Through the LOGO connector (RS-232 or ETHERNET) the PDMX-2006 accepts the logo and scrolling line data, the scene composition, the input selection commands.
Input configuration flexibility
The PVDP-1006 mixer allows to assign the IN2...IN6 buttons to any physical input, the exemption of the IN1 button which is always assigned to the CV1 video and the first audio input ANL1.
