BLACK 1 / REF IN: Outputs the selected black b urst or HDTV trilevel
sync signal. You can also configure this connector to receive analog video,
HD tri-level sync, or CW signals for use as a Genlock reference. The GPS7
mo
dule will sync with CW signals at 1, 3.58, 4.43, 5, or 10 MHz. (Earlier
GPS7 modules do not have the reference input capability. On these modules,
the connector is labeled BLACK 1.)
BLACK 2: Outputs the selected black burst or HDTV trilevel sync signal.
You can configure this output connector to turn off if certain errors are
detected. The output will remain off as long as the error occurs. Use this
function to trigger a downstream ECO to switch to backup.
BLACK 3 / 10 MHz: Outputs the selected black burst or HDTV trilevel sync
signal. You can also configure this connector to output a 10 MHz sine wave.
(Thisconnectorislabeled10 MHz / BLACK 3 on earlier GPS7 modules.)
NOTE. You can use the menus to independently set the format and timing of the
three black outputs and to enable VITC to be applied to the output signal.
For HD trilevel sync signals, the BLACK 1, 2, and 3 outputs are a group that must
all output either integer or non-integer rates. (See page 3-126, GPS7 module HD
TRI-LEVEL SYNC RATE submenu.)
