3.12 DI: Digital Video for Special Applications
The hardware of these modules comprises serial interfaces (RS232, RS422, RS485), 4 x GPIO,
and a digital video channel (SD).
An option has to be selected to give functionality to the module. It is not possible to order this
module without an option. A combination of options for one module is only possible if
specified.
You will find detailed information in the operating manuals mentioned below.

.
Option Description
-C: Clip length inserter The option has been developed to let the module operate with an
automation system. While the automation system runs the playlist a
simple command can be transmitted to transfer the clip length to
the module. The module starts a DOWN counter, converts this time
into LTC format, and visibly inserts the time on a video window.
Two independent DOWN counters are available.
Operating manual: “AI / DI / XI Modules + Option C“.
-D: Daytime inserter An external reference (GPS, DCF77) delivers a pulse per second
(PPS) and time & date via serial interface. The module decodes
these data, calculates the local time, and visibly inserts a precise
time (HH:MM:SS:1/100) in a video window. Different formats of
time and date representation are selectable.
Operating manual: “AI / DI / XI Modules + Option D“.
-V: VPS decoder VPS: Video Program System. A module with this option decodes
these data of line 16 according to the European Standard EN 300
294. The decoded data can visibly be displayed on a video
window. GPIO signal outputs are available signalling the state of
selected bits.
This option may be combined with option W.
Operating manual: “AI / DI / XI Modules + Option V“.
-W: WSS decoder WSS: Wide Screen Signalling. A module with this option decodes
these data of line 23 according to the European Standard EN 300
294. The decoded data can visibly be displayed on a video
window. GPIO signal outputs are available signalling the state of
selected bits.
This option may be combined with option V.
