MPEG 4 / AAC Monitor Streaming

Video to Audio Timing Tool



• As we move to fully digital and hybrid systems in both standard and high definition formats, the requirements for processing are increasing.

• On a worldwide basis, high definition is becoming more and more prevalent — with the use of wide screen and surround sound becoming more popular in home theatre environments.

• Because the requirements for processing are increasing, demands for more functionality are increasing in parallel


Increased Functionality Required

• Increased functionality includes:– Up, down, cross and aspect ratio conversion for use in hybrid

facilities.– Analog, digital compressed and embedded audio.– Multi-channel audio for surround sound and multiple language

applications.– Advanced audio processing such as decompression and

compression.• This processing (especially audio compression) requires

increased video delay for proper lip sync.– SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).

• This popular protocol, which is used in the telecom industry for monitoring equipment, has become an important requirement in the television industry.



• Increased functionality includes:– The ability to take legacy analog signals into the digital domain

(with the best processing at the best price).• This step is important — especially before upconverting and

compressing video signals.– Interfaces for high definition including optical fiber and DVI.

• ~ Optical fiber is required for long cable runs (>100m / 300ft.).• ~ DVI is becoming more popular as an interface into LCD and

plasma type picture displays.

– Intelligent input processing for alarming and auto-switchover —

for purposes of reducing downtime.



• Increased functionality includes:– Increased use of metadata:

• Digital video and audio are the data “essence” of a program signal.

• In today’s facilities, there are many forms of “data about the essence” (or metadata) that travel along with the video and audio signals.

• Requirements vary — in some cases, a transparent metadata pass-through is required. In other cases, you may wish to change the metadata.

– Dual power supplies for increased reliability in critical situations.– Front-to-back forced airflow.


Required Functions for Video

• Conversions for analog, digital and hybrid facilities that exist today and into the future– A to D, D to A, Color Decoding, Color Encoding, Up/Down/Cross

Conversions, DV, HDV

– More than one conversion type per device

• Video synchronization and timing for ingest and for re-entry purposes (with time base correction for legacy tape transports)

• Noise reduction (before compression)• Genlocking for stable output• Alarms for over/under level, freeze, loss of signal with user settable

thresholds and delays• Branding, Source ID, Test Generator for SDTV and HDTV• Optical interface• DVI interface


Required Functions for Audio

• Audio conversions– A to D, D to A

– Balanced (110 ohm)/Unbalanced digital (75 ohm)

• Audio sample rate conversion, synchronization and timing with video to maintain proper lip sync

• Audio processing for gain matching, invert, channel swap• Embedded processing in SDI and HD-SDI• Alarms for over/under level, silence with user settable thresholds

and delays• Lots of channels (5.1+2), (7.1+2)• Test tone generator for analog, AES and embedded• Audio compression and decompression (Dolby E, Digital AC-3, Pro-

Logic) and audio metadata• Voice-over


Required Functions for Metadata

• Metadata processing such as CC transcoding of EIA608 (line 21) to EIA708 (line 9) when upconverting (and the reverse for downconverting)

• Transparency for metadata passing through a processing device

• Full VBI control line-by-line, field-by-field– For setup on/off (especially line 21)

– Selectable notch/comb when converting

• AFD (Active Format Descriptor) for signaling Aspect Ratio Converters

• Embedding Dolby E audio metadata after decoding


Required Functions for Control/Monitoring

• For today’s systems, 10/100baseT Ethernet connectivity with dual ports

• Streaming over IP for monitoring purposes• Built-in web server for easy interfacing to PCs using

IE/Netscape• SNMP industry standard• Windows GUI• External protocol for those who wish to write their own software• GPI inputs and outputs

– User programmable

• Hardware control panels (local and remote)– User customizable


Where do we need this functionality ?

• HDTV Mobile Production– Live Broadcasts for Sports and Music– Fast operator controls– Automatic input selection of composite, SDI or HD-SDI inputs to the

proper HD output format.

• Satellite ingest for genlocking and timing purposes.– Frame synchronization with audio processing and delay for any input

signal type to many output signal types (and time base correction for when it is needed)

– Noise reduction

• Other similar applications exist in news and production.– TBC for legacy tape transports, 1080psf-23.98 format

• Broadcast Facilities– Upconversion for HD output, down conversion for monitoring/logging,

and cross-conversion for programs that are recorded in other then the native station format.


Targets for a Device

• An integrated rack mount package• Provide as many functions as possible to save space and costs• Video only, video and audio configurations with and without

control panel• Multiple channels of video and audio processing

• Simulcast mode allows you to choose any two inputs and switch between them using a GPI (General Purpose Interface)

• For X75HD units, you can switch between HDTV and SDTV inputs. There is four to six frames of black between switches, sufficient for non-critical on-air or for backup on-air use.

• Audio is switched quietly at the same time

Control Architecture

• The X75HD can be provided with a local control panel or can also be controlled in the following ways:

– The built-in Web Server with thumbnail

– There are two 10/100-Base T Ethernet ports - one dedicated to control, monitoring and for streaming a low bit rate, low frame rate video only thumbnail. The other port is dedicated to streaming MPEG 4 CIF and AAC stereo video and audio for monitoring purposes.

– A remote panel

– Local and remote control panels associated with installed DPS-575s can control X75HD through the text menu system.

– For those who have adopted or may adopt the industry standard SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), an SNMP agent can be added as an option.

– Binary Protocol (EP Extended Protocol) is available for those who wish to write their own software application for controlling and monitoring X75HDs.

– The X75HD is CCS (Command Control System) compliant for use with Navigator, Pilot, Co-Pilot, RCP-CCS-1U and the Nucleus User Customizable Control Panel. A specific GUI (Graphical User Interface) has been developed for control, monitoring and diagnostics purposes.

X75OPT-STR MPEG4 Streaming Monitoring

• Monitoring a video signal from a remote location is difficult.• If an Internet connection can be provided from the remote location

to the monitoring station, the X75 has a built-in web server with control, monitoring and a small thumbnail for video.

• The small thumbnail has now been made larger, but it is not full motion, only a frame sent every 5-300 seconds (user adjustable).



• For users who wish to monitor full motion video with a higher resolution than a thumbnail and audio, the X75OPT-STR MPEG4 Monitoring Streaming Module Option is now available.

• MPEG4 and AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) codecs provide CIF (Common Image Format - 352 x 240 for 525 line systems and 352 x 288 for 625 line systems) resolution and audio (stereo 64kB) streaming for monitoring purposes

• Uses secondary Ethernet port

• The quality of the streamed image is such that lower 1/3 graphics and keyed logos can be seen without “mosquito noise” around the edges of the graphics (~200k/bits to ~1Mbit/s adjustable).

• Not for “broadcast” purposes. (ie: not MPEG4.1, AVC, AVI, JVT, MPEG4 Part 10 (H.264) or SMPTE VC-1 (WM9 or Windows Media 9)).

• Navigator software supports the viewing of multiple X75s over your control/monitoring/logging network.

• Apple QuickTime 7.0 can be used to view the signal, as well.

• X75s shipped before approximately November 1, 2005 need to go through a “bicycle program”.

• If you purchase the X75OPT-STR within 6 months from product release, you will get a free upgrade consisting of a refurbished X75 in their configuration with the X75OPT-STR installed. After 6 months, there will be a cost associated with this.

• For those who own a X75 shipped after Nov 1, 2005, they can order and install the X75OPT-STR in the field

X75OPT-V2A Video to Audio Timing Tool

• The Issues• • Timing video with audio signals is difficult in today’s TV environment.• • All devices should provide the correct video to audio delays so that lip sync is maintained.• • This is not the always the case.• • Issue #1: If you process video and audio together, the processes add

their own propagation times. A device should automatically add delay as needed in the video and audio paths so that lip sync is maintained (considering that “lip sync” was correct at the input).

• • Issue #2: If you send a video and audio signal to a distant location, it is

ot known whether the video and audio signals have passed hrough different processes each adding their own processing times.



• The Solution

• A simple means of verifying video to audio timing in a single location or from any location anywhere.

• The X75 was designed to automatically provide the correct audio delay when adding video processing tasks.

• With a free code update, all X75s will generate a video and audio test signal that is a robust, off-line test that can survive conversions such

as analog/digital, embed/de-embed, compress/uncompress, up/down/cross conversions.

• All X75s that have the V2A option installed allows you to record and playback the test signal on a tape or hard drive transport and then measure relative video to audio timing from any X75 that device is “listening”.



• Application #1

X75

STEP 1: Use current method to adjust for any video to audio timing issues

X75

STEP 2: X75 determines whether there have been any changes to the relative video to audio timing and can be set to correct for

those changes

Available April 2006

$2,995



• Application #2

STEP 1: Record V2A signal on a file server or tape transport

X75 Record/Playback Transport

Record/Playback Transport X75

STEP 2: Check relative video to audio timing at an X75



• Application #3

X75

STEP 1: Send V2A signal into a transmission system

X75

STEP 2: Loop-Back into the X75 and check relative video to audio timing

In loop back, HD to HD can be measured, SD1 to SD2 (or SD2 to SD1) can be measured. Analog composite to analog composite and analog component to analog component can not be measured.

Customer Profile/Category

• Video Engineers• looking for frame sync for input processing, timing and lip sync corrections

• Audio Engineers• looking for multi-channel processing for multi-language and surround sound and

DOLBY-E and DOLBY DIGITAL (AC-3) decompression.

• Editors• looking for a “box” to convert and time base correct all of the analog, digital and

high definition signals needed in an edit suite that supports high definition and legacy tape machines

• Operations Staff• who need to “tweak” a signal for processing purposes.

• Systems Designers• who are looking to fit more processing in a smaller space that can handle all

analog, digital and high definition signals with full audio processing as an option.

• DPS-575 Users• that wish to add-on high definition to their system.

• Users of first generation high definition product• that needs to be replaced (HD started out in 1998, most first generation

equipment has been or will be replaced.)


The X75HD is easily deployed.

• Mobile• Built for use in mobile environments with fast operator controls, automatic input select of

composite, SDI or HD-SDI inputs to the proper HD output format make the X75HD the easy choice for input processing for live events.

• Satellite• Frame synchronization with audio processing and delay for any signal type to many

signal types. Noise reduction with audio limiting is ideal ahead of compression encoders in satellite gathering and uplink facilities.

• Broadcast• Up conversion for HD output, down conversion for simultaneous programs, cross

conversion for programs that are recorded in other then the native format for the station – these are all conversions that the X75HD can perform.

• As a switcher, the X75HD switches between SD and HD inputs with clean and quiet SD and HD outputs with voice over.

• Ideal for use with Dolby-E or AC-3 compressed audio, the X75HD simplifies and reduces the amount of equipment needed to synchronize and time your video and audio signals.

• News• Any tape format can be time base corrected for use in any news environment – analog,

digital or HDTV.

• Production/Editing• Support for 24p (1080p-23.98) and 25p (1080p-25) provides for conversion to and from

any signal type for HDTV productions.
