2-2
Figure 2-1: Atomix HDMI overview
The components of Atomix HDMI can be divided into hardware and software components:
To the hardware components belong the items described in this installation guide. Atomix HDMI is centered around the Atomix HDMI board, a 2/3-length PCIe bus single board for the real-time input and output of uncompressed video and audio signals. All major video and film formats are supported from SD video up to 4K film via SDI I/O or
HDMI (DVI via simple adapters), supplemented by up to 16 channels audio either over AES/EBU or embedded in the video stream. To use all the features of Atomix HDMI several slot panels may have been included in your delivery as well as other accessories such as breakout cables.
All these items and their installation will be described in this manual.
Among the software components you can find the DVS software development kit (DVS SDK) which can be used to build editing and storage solutions with Atomix HDMI. The DVS SDK is compatible among the video board products by DVS meaning your code can be used with other DVS video boards as well. Several tools for hardware setup and diagnostics complement the SDK. To run properly the video board driver has to be loaded prior to using Atomix HDMI which can be done with the tools for the hardware setup. The video board driver controls the Atomix HDMI board and thus the in- and output of signals. The
DVS SDK as well as all other software components are described in the separate SDK documentation.
Overview
2.2 Overview of the Board
The PCI video board delivered with Atomix HDMI is a complex piece of technology. This section provides an overview of the Atomix HDMI board including a detailed description of the items, switches and connectors present on the PCI video board.
2.2.1 The Different Variants of the Board
The Atomix HDMI board can be delivered in two variants: It can be delivered with or without an expansion module mounted on the video board. With the connectors provided by the expansion module (available at the slot panel of the board) you can connect the Atomix HDMI to a breakout box.
expansion module
Figure 2-2: Atomix HDMI board with expansion module for breakout box
This installation guide describes the variant without the expansion module mounted. However, the two boards are identical in most respects and have to be handled and installed as described in this installation guide. The only difference is that most connectors present on the
Atomix HDMI board with the expansion module are without functionality. They are replaced by connectors at the breakout box. Therefore, when installing the Atomix HDMI board with the expansion module mounted, you can disregard the slot panels described in this installation guide.

Overview
Explanation
Indicate that the programmable chips (FPGAs) are programmed. If both are illuminated, the firmware is programmed and the board will operate properly. If even one is extinguished, you have to perform a firmware programming/up-
date (see section “Upgrading the Firmware” on page 3-14).
2.2.4 Digital Video I/Os of the Atomix HDMI Board
This section contains some information about the digital video in- and outputs of Atomix HDMI.
DVS usually names the input/output channels (connectors/ports) of the digital video signals alphabetically: the main video stream is then available, for instance, on port A and the secondary video stream on port B. For YUV you normally require one link (connectors named ’A’, single link). For YUVA you will need two links (’A’ for YUV and ’B’ for the key signal). With RGB you will always need two links (’A’ and ’B’, dual link). The same applies to transmitting rasters of a higher resolution such as 2K.
However, because Atomix HDMI provides two independent video channels (different video rasters and color modes), the secondary
B ports can also be used for the second video channel. Then by default
YUV can be transmitted independently. By changing the speed of the ports to 3-Gbit/s SDI dual-link connections can be realized. They provide all the features of a standard dual-link connection, but require only one connector instead of two.
The following tables show the signal distribution over the I/O ports for the different video rasters (color modes) when either one or two video channels are configured for the board:

1) Can also be used with SDTV and 1.5-Gbit/s SDI.
2) Not available for SD video rasters. For this you have to use SDTV and 1.5-Gbit/s SDI.
Mixed operations between the two tables are possible with the limitation that as soon as you set up two physical links for dual link, only one video channel will be available.
The main HDMI port of Atomix HDMI is HDMI A. This port is used exclusively for the configured video channel when special 4K rasters are selected in the software (tagged with ’HDMI’). When two video channels are configured, the main HDMI ports are A and C. The remaining ports (i.e. B and D) will be used in special rasters only (e.g. quad HDMI rasters).
If your DVS SDK does not provide defines to switch the main output to HDMI, you can use the respective options for DVI.
They will do the same.

Overview
2.3 Overview of the Panels
To provide all the connection possibilities of the board at a computer casing, several panels may have been delivered with the board. This section provides an overview of the panels available for Atomix HDMI.
Please note that the panels are optionally available and will be part of your delivery only if you have ordered them.
2.3.1 Note About the Audio Setup
Atomix HDMI provides up to 16 channels digital audio (AES/EBU).
With this up to two panels for audio can be delivered with the Atomix
HDMI:
– One that has to be connected to the AUDIO 1-8/LTC connector on the Atomix HDMI board (in this guide referred to as ’audio panel #1’).
– One that has to be connected to the AUDIO 9-16 connector on the
Atomix HDMI board (referred to as ’audio panel #2’).
There are two types of panels for audio available:
– One with analog and digital audio connections (called ’audio
panel’, see section “Audio Panel” on page 2-12).
– One with digital audio plus RS-422 connection (called ’audio and
RS-422 panel, see section “Audio and RS-422 Panel” on page 2-11).
The following tables show the possible combinations of the two types of panels and their recommended installations:

Beside the files for software development, the DVS SDK software package also includes the Atomix HDMI board driver and tools for a basic hardware setup and diagnostics.
For descriptions of the software and driver as well as their installations please refer to the separate SDK documentation.
Once the software installation is completed, you have to activate the feature set available for Atomix HDMI with the delivered license key.
3.3 Setting the License Key
This section explains how to set the license key on the computer system equipped with Atomix HDMI. The license key activates the individual features that you have ordered for your DVS product. After the SDK and the driver are installed, you have to set the license key for Atomix
HDMI to be able to use the full feature set.
Atomix HDMI is capable of holding two license keys. The first key is usually used for licensing the features that you have ordered with
Atomix HDMI. The second key is usually used for temporary licenses that you may have received for evaluation purposes. Each license key enables one or more (optional) features of Atomix HDMI until date of expiration (if applicable). Each time Atomix HDMI starts the keys are checked and their features are combined.
To set the license key(s) for Atomix HDMI you have to perform the following:
Save the license key that you have received with Atomix HDMI in a text file at a location of your choice on the computer.
Open a command line (shell, or in case of Windows command prompt (cmd)).
In case the driver is not already loaded, load the driver. Further information about this can be found in the separate SDK documentation.
In case you have several Atomix HDMI boards installed, use the environment variable SCSIVIDEO_CMD and set it to
PCI,card:<x> (with <x> as the number of the board, normally counting from zero (0)) to access a particular board.
Please refer to the SDK documentation for details about setting the variable SCSIVIDEO_CMD.
Enter the command svram licence keyfile1 <text file> . For <text file> insert the path and file name to the text file that holds the license key.

Installation
3.4 Upgrading the Firmware
It is recommended to have the latest released firmware version installed on the Atomix HDMI board. Depending on the currently installed firmware it may require an upgrade. This can be done with a program named ’atomixhdmiup’. This section explains how to determine whether you need and how to perform a firmware upgrade.
An upgrade should be performed by qualified personnel only.
Before upgrading the firmware close all other applications.
Be aware of a power failure. If this happens, you have to use the fallback firmware version of the Atomix HDMI board as
detailed in chapter “Maintenance” on page 4-1.
3.4.1 Determining the Firmware Version
Before upgrading the firmware you have to determine the firmware version that is currently installed on your Atomix HDMI board and compare it with the version suitable for your DVS SDK. For this perform the following:
Open a command line (shell, or in case of Windows command prompt (cmd)).
If the driver is not already loaded, load the driver. Further information about this can be found in the separate SDK documentation.
In case you have several Atomix HDMI boards installed, use the environment variable SCSIVIDEO_CMD and set it to
PCI,card:<x> (with <x> as the number of the board, normally counting from zero (0)) to access a particular board.
Please refer to the SDK documentation for details about setting the variable SCSIVIDEO_CMD.
Enter at the command line svram version info and press
[Enter].
In the output look for the line that says Firmware Version:
7.4.0.11_7.0.10
or similar.
The numbers indicate the installed firmware version. In detail they stand for two version numbers that are separated by an underscore, i.e. with the pattern <v
1
>_<v
2
>.
Next check the readme.txt and changelog.txt of the DVS
SDK for information about the required firmware version. Notable dependencies will be stated in these files.

Then compare the version numbers of the output separately with the numbers stated in the DVS SDK.
Treat the two version numbers as any version number, where <a>, as in e.g. <a>.<b>.<c>, has priority over <b> and both over <c>.
If one of the version numbers is lower than the respective numbers stat-
3.4.2 Upgrading the Firmware
In case you determined that a firmware upgrade is required, perform the following:
Make sure that the firmware version matches the used DVS
SDK. Notable dependencies will be stated on the DVS web site and/or in the readme.txt and changelog.txt of the DVS SDK.
Only officially released firmware versions are suitable for end user delivery.
Open a command line (shell, or in case of Windows command prompt (cmd)).
Run the update program atomixhdmiup### (### is the firmware version that the Atomix HDMI board will be upgraded to) and follow the instructions given on the screen while observing the following:
– During the procedure you will be asked if you want to upgrade all installed Atomix HDMI boards in a single step or one board only. With the latter option selected, the program will loop through all installed Atomix HDMI boards and you can decide for each if it should be upgraded.
– Each board upgrade takes several minutes.
– The program will terminate itself when all upgrades are finished.
When the upgrade procedure is finished, shut down the computer and wait at least ten seconds before rebooting it.
This will safely erase the old firmware from the Atomix HDMI board(s).
Start the computer and, after the operating system has loaded,
check the firmware version as described in section “Determining the Firmware Version” on page 3-13.

3.5 Testing the Installation
After having installed and set up everything, you should test if the
Atomix HDMI installation has been successful. The tools delivered with the DVS SDK software package offer you the possibility to generate and display test pictures to check the Atomix HDMI hardware.
To test the installation perform the following:
Connect a video monitor to the video output connectors of Atomix
HDMI (see chapter “Overview” on page 2-1).
Open a command line (shell, or in case of Windows command prompt (cmd)).
If the driver is not already loaded, load the driver. Further information about this can be found in the separate SDK documentation.
Now the computer system is ready to display test frames:
In case you have several Atomix HDMI boards installed, use the environment variable SCSIVIDEO_CMD and set it to
PCI,card:<x> (with <x> as the number of the board, normally counting from zero (0)) to access a particular board.
Please refer to the SDK documentation for details about setting the variable SCSIVIDEO_CMD.
Use svram mode, svram sync, svram analog, etc. to select the desired video and audio settings (further information about the commands can be found in the SDK documentation).
Enter svram colorbar to display a color bar at the output.
If this works, you have successfully completed the Atomix HDMI installation. Together with the DVS SDK some sample programs are delivered that can also be used for testing.
The svram program only affects the buffer and the I/O functions of the Atomix HDMI board. For testing optionally installed video hard disks you have to use your own test routines.

Maintenance
4
This chapter explains maintenance work that you may perform on your own, i.e. it will be explained in detail what to do in case of a firmware
upgrade failure (see section “Upgrading the Firmware” on page 3-14).
An upgrade of the firmware is a delicate procedure comparable to a
BIOS upgrade of a computer motherboard. If, for example, an environmental extreme like a power failure occurs while the upgrade program is running, the PCI video board may loose all its programming.
Prior to performing the procedure for a firmware upgrade failure contact the DVS service department to make sure that this procedure is really necessary.
In case the programming of the PCI video board is lost, act as described in the following to restore it:
The computer system you are working on usually works with voltages that can be hazardous to your health.
Never work on the system or access its interior with the power cable(s) being plugged in. Make sure the power supply is disconnected from the components you intend to work on.
Computer hardware contains components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. If you touch them without precautionary measures, they can be destroyed.
Use a wrist strap connected to ground when accessing electronic parts and take care of grounding the video system.
Avoid touching the components of the computer and the printed circuit board(s) of Atomix HDMI.
If appropriate, turn off the computer system where Atomix HDMI is installed and disconnect its power cable(s).
Open the casing of the computer system. For details on how to do this please refer to the respective manufacturer’s manual.
Set the DIP switch for the Flash controller on the PCI video board
(see section “Overview of the Soldering Side” on page 2-6) to the

This setting will load a safe mode programming (fallback map) when the PCI video board is initialized during start-up. Now use this fallback map to perform the firmware upgrade once again:
Close the casing of the computer system and plug in its power cable(s).
Turn on the computer system.
After the start-up of the computer and the loading of the operating system run the firmware upgrade program (atomixhdmiup###,
see section “Upgrading the Firmware” on page 3-14) once again.
When the upgrade program has finished the procedure, shut down the computer.
You must now set the DIP switch for the Flash controller back to its default position:
Never operate the PCI video board with the fallback map enabled. Make sure that for normal operations the DIP switch is set back to its default position.
Disconnect the power cable(s) of the computer system.
Open the casing of the computer system.
Then set the DIP switch for the Flash controller back to its default
setting as shown in the respective figure in section “Overview of the Soldering Side” on page 2-6.
Close the casing and plug in the power cable(s).
Now start the computer.
After the operating system has loaded check the firmware version
as described in section “Determining the Firmware Version” on page 3-13.
If the firmware version is upgraded, the procedure is finished.
