BROADCAST SNG FLY-AWAY PACK

The TTR SNG Fly-Away Pack is a versatile and flexible system designed to provide all the necessary facilities for audio and video management during a satellite up-link. It is housed in a convenient and compact 3U rack unit, using a fully modular construction that allows customized versions to be produced as required.

The unit allows for adjustment of amplitude and equalisation of the programme video input, and for adjustment of level of the programme sound. It also allows selection of alternative sources for transmission and preview/pre-listen, including auxiliary inputs, test signals and ident signals.

A typical system consists of a video EDA, to provide the adjustment of the programme video, an audio DA, to adjust the programme sound, and an 8 x 2 stereo audio follow video matrix to select sources for transmission (TX) and for preview/pre-listen (PV/PL).

Sources to the matrix are : One programme input.

Internal black and silence.

No signal (for carrier test).

Bars and audio/video ident for source identification. Three auxiliary inputs.

The system can be supplied with PAL, NTSC or dual standard colour bars and colour black.

The audio and video idents are generated using modules from the TTR Video and Audio Line Ident system - please see the Line Ident data sheet for full information. The system allows the video ident to be one of 64 fixed messages stored in PROM or to be entered by the optional text editor keyboard. The audio ident system can include a speech digitizer.

As an option the unit can be powered from 12V dc

Features

  • Fast Access.

  • Four Inputs.

  • On-board PAL Encoder.

  • RGBS & Key Outputs.

  • Can be used as source for in-vision Teletext.

BROADCAST VIDEO TELETEXT DECODER

The VIP011 Teletext Decoder is based on a software controlled design. The use of a microprocessor enables the access time of the system to be greatly reduced.

In earlier decoders the user selected a page number and when that page was transmitted it was written to the screen. As the various databases increased in size the access time for page selection also increased.

The VIP 011 uses a system known as FASTTEXT which has now been implemented by many broadcasters. Along the lower edge of the displayed page are the titles of four other pages on a related topic. These are coloured red, green, yellow and cyan. For each of these, a page number is stored in the software for rapid retrieval of that page by pressing the the corresponding colour button on the control panel. A fifth index page is tagged in a similar manner.

The decoder has two independent acquisition circuits to acquire pages. The first retrieves the page requested directly by the user, which is then displayed and continuously updated. The second acquisition circuit retrieves approximately 60 other pages from the same magazine and then stores them in memory from instant display. several of these pages are related to the current display page by the FASTTEXT routes at the bottom of the displayed page.

If a page is requested that has already been stored in the memory, the page will be displayed instantly. The page header at the top of the screen will be red to show the page is from memory. When the page is re-transmitted by the broadcaster a few seconds later, the display will be updated and the page header will turn yellow. If the page requested was not in memory, because it was in a different magazine or because it did not exist, the page header will turn cyan and the current page number transmitted will roll through.

The VIP011 includes an on-board coder and keyer allowing encoded teletext to be keyed into the background picture. Two outputs of this mixed Teletext and background signal are provided together with an output of encoded Teletext alone - one use of either of these outputs could be used as a source for broadcasting teletext pages in-vision. RGB outputs of teletext, plus Mixed Sync and a Key signal (know as Fast Blanking or FB) are also provided, so encoding and keying can be done externally if required.

The unit is housed in a 19" 1U frame with controls located on the front panel of the unit. The controls are listed in the VIP011 Specification. An optional remote control facility is available,

TTR VIDEO & AUDIO LINE IDENT

The TTR Line Ident is a very versatile and flexible system which can provide both video and audio line or source idents. The modular design caters for a wide range of systems with the capability for future expansion if required. The comprehensive range of facilities includes an optional text editor and controller for video idents and an optional speech digitizer for audio idents.

The ident text is keyed into the video signal (rather than current added) and the broadcast specification allows the system to be used, for example, to identify outgoing lines from a studio or transmission centre. The economic pricing of the system, however, also means that it is equally suited to identifying lines from cameras in a security installation.

There are two basic types of system. In one system the video idents are factory programmed in PROM to provide up to 64 pages of pre-specified text per ident, the pages being selected via a switch on the front panel. Up to 180 characters can be inserted and positioned on each page, with a choice of 16 character sizes (though only one per page). The characters can be displayed within a black box if required, again selected by a front panel switch.

The second type of system is supplied with a microprocessor controlled editor and keyboard which allows the user to enter text and position it on the page. Up to 99 pages are provided, again with up to 180 characters per page in one of 16 character sizes, boxed if required. The text can also be entered remotely from a computer via an RS232 interface. This type of system includes a real time clock/calendar displaying date, hours, minutes and seconds, which can be positioned independently of the ident - the date can be switched on or off as required. As an option, systems can include a colour bar generator if required.

The audio system allows for three part idents, i.e. tone, silence and speech, with adjustable dwell between the three. The 1 KHz tone, which is switchable between 0 dB and -20 dB, includes left/right ident - the LH tone being interrupted every 3 secs, whilst the RH tone is continuous. The optional speech digitizer can store up to 30 seconds of speech/music with a bandwidth of 0 - 4 KHz. It allows idents to be "recorded" via a microphone input, the idents being stored in battery backed RAM.

Systems can vary widely in complexity, with rack unit sizes ranging from 1U up to 6U. As an example, a 24 channel system consisting of 12 dual ident inserter/generator cards plus processor and PSU, occupies a 3U frame.

TTR Describer - Audio Description

Broadcast Audio Describer, Audio Describer, Broadcast Audio Byte Fader, Audio Byte Fader, Broadcast Audio, Audio, AD, Broadcast AD, Audio Description, Broadcast Audio Description, Broadcast Audio Descriptor, Audio Descriptor,

Features

VIDEO

  • Decodes the Fade bytes of DTT signals

  •  Allows transmission of pre-described audio to the home

  •  Compact 1U format or 3U format for larger systems

  •  Low power consumption

  •  Supported and functional in the SDI domain 

TTR Describer - Audio Description

The TTR audio description system is designed to decode the Fade bytes as required by the Audio Description Module (A.D.M) in the Digital Terrestrial (D.T.T) receiver whilst still in analogue audio form. Audio 1 and 2 carry standard left and right programming, whilst audio 3 carries the audio description commentary and audio 4 the audio description data. This allows broadcasters to transmit separate, pre-described audio to the home, provided enough extra bandwidth is available to broadcast two extra audio tracks. Ideal also in audio postproduction to monitor audio description being dubbed to tape. The audio data is re-clocked and converted to NRZ where an interrupt is generated from the data transitions. The data is decoded and an 8-bit wide fade byte is used to fade down audio1&2. The description audio is mixed to the audio 1&2 channels and re-output as left and right plus audio description. Two units are available using a common Module consisting of a single microcontroller and audio processor card. The 1U unit is for single channel Environments, like post production houses and the 3u unit is aimed at the multi-channel broadcasters allowing them to process up to 6 channels of audio description.
