Chapter 1
Introducing the DPS-575
Overview
The Leitch DPS-575™ Digital Processing Synchronizer is equally suited
for analog, digital, or hybrid facilities, and represents the ideal choice for
broadcasters making the transition to digital television (DTV). Available
in video-only and audio/video configurations, these synchronizers
provide an ideal bridge from analog video signals, such as satellite and
microwave feeds, to digital production facilities. The DPS-575 is an
auto-sensing dual-standard (PAL/NTSC) device.
Figure 1-1. The Leitch DPS-575

output formats are provided on all units:
•
Serial Component Digital Video (SDI) input and output
•
Component Analog Video (Betacam®) input and output
•
S-Video (S-VHS / Hi8) input and output
•
Composite Video input and output
•

Chapter 1: Introducing the DPS-575
Overview
DV (IEEE-1394) I/O with transport control is available as an option. A
built-in auto-sense TBC circuit provides seamless mode switching
between direct color and heterodyne sources such as camcorders and
VTRs.
The versatile DPS 12-bit comb filter offers three processing modes:
Simple, Adaptive-2D, and Adaptive-3D.
3D combing utilizes a proprietary algorithm to combine information
from previous frames to eliminate residual subcarrier artifacts, such as
cross luminance and cross chrominance. 3D combing can also be
applied to non-composite sources, to clean up component video that
was previously decoded from a composite source using lower-quality
combing in other equipment. Combining the high-quality comb filter
with proprietary advanced 12-bit analog encoding provides maximum
signal transparency and optimum transcoding.
The DPS-575 also features optional adjustable temporal and spatial
digital noise reduction and variable 2D filtering with separate horizontal
and vertical bandwidth controls. Applying digital bandwidth filtering
and noise reduction prior to MPEG encoding can improve overall
MPEG performance through entropy reduction.
The exclusive DigiDuplex Mode provides bi-directional connectivity
between analog tape machines and digital audio/video routing systems.
DigiDuplex saves space and money by enabling digital to analog
transcoding with simultaneous analog to digital frame synchronization–
all in one compact box. In DigiDuplex Mode, the unit's SDI video input is
routed directly to the analog video outputs, which feed the inputs of an
analog device. The analog output of the device can be simultaneously
connected to the synchronizer's analog inputs, where it is processed and
sent to the SDI video outputs. Conversion between digital and analog
audio is handled in a similar fashion.
With the addition of the four-channel audio synchronizer module, the
DPS-575 can provide dual stereo audio and video synchronization in a
single rack-unit-high package. The internal audio synchronizer option
supports analog, AES/EBU digital, and embedded SDI and DV audio
I/O (with the DV I/O module installed). All audio outputs are
simultaneously active, which enables both analog and digital audio
devices to be connected at the same time. All four audio channels can
dynamically track the internal delay of the video synchronizer, and a
fixed delay can also be specified, ensuring proper lip sync regardless of
the program source. Audio test tones can be generated at
operator-specified frequencies.

Chapter 2: Installation and Configuration
Video Connections
The following are the video connections on the rear of the DPS-575, in
left-to-right order, followed by those on the supplied breakout cable.
DV Input/Output
This six-pin IEEE-1394 connector, labeled DV I/O, is used to connect DV
(often referred to as “Firewire”) devices. In addition to carrying DV
video and audio input and output, this port also provides DV device
control, allowing control of the DV device directly from the DPS-575.
This connection is active only if the optional DV I/O module is installed.
S-Video Input
The four-pin connector on the rear of the unit, labeled S-Video, is used
for S-Video (Y/C) signals, such as from an S-VHS or Hi8 device. It is
normally connected to the S-Video output of a playback VTR using a
standard four-pin to four-pin S-Video cable. Some JVC “industrial” type
S-VHS players use a seven-pin connector for their S-Video output. To
interface with such machines, a seven-pin to four-pin adapter cable is
required from the manufacturer of the VTR.
Component Analog Video Input
These three BNC connectors, labeled CAV-Y In, R-Y In, and B-Y In, are
used to input the signals from analog component devices, such as
Betacam VTRs.
If component analog video input is not needed, the CAV-Y In
connection can be reassigned as a second composite video input with
the CAV-Y Composite option in the Video Setup menu (see Chapter 5
“Video Setup Menu” on page 53).
Composite Video Input
This BNC connector, labeled Composite In, is used to feed composite
1Vp-p 75Ω video to the DPS-575. In Synchronizer mode, the input
video signal must be direct color or monochrome (such as from a
satellite feed or live camera); in Timebase Corrector or Auto Switching
mode, the input signal can be connected to the video output of a
heterodyne source such as a camcorder or VTR.

Chapter 2: Installation and Configuration
Configuration
Serial Digital Input
This BNC connector, labeled SDI In, accepts serial digital ITU-R BT.601
video and embedded audio data at a rate of 270 Megabits per second.
Serial Digital Reclocked Output
This BNC connector, labeled SDI Reclocked, provides a digitally
regenerated copy of the SDI Input, with no processing applied.
Serial Digital Outputs
These BNC connectors, labeled SDI 1 Out and SDI 2 Out, provide the
processed and synchronized serial digital ITU-R-BT.601 video and
embedded audio, at an output rate of 270 Megabits per second.
Composite Video Output
These BNC connectors, labeled Comp 1 Out and Comp 2 Out, provide
processed, synchronized/timebase-corrected versions of any of the input
signals. If the unit is set to Bypass mode, the Composite Input is
bypassed directly to the Comp 1 output (the leftmost of the two
connectors), providing an unprocessed signal. Comp 2 Out operates as
normal (providing processed output from the selected video input). The
Comp 1 input is automatically bypassed to the Comp 1 Out output when
the unit is off.
Genlock Reference
These BNC connectors, labeled Genlock In and Genlock Loop, are used to
loop a genlock signal through the unit to establish the timing for its
video output signal. The signal for this input must always be stable, such
as the output from a black-burst or color-bar generator. Do not attempt
to use a signal that has not been timebase-corrected. When a valid signal
is connected to the Genlock In input, the video output of the DPS-575
will be genlocked to this signal, and the Genlock LED will be on. When
no external reference is supplied to the Genlock input, the unit will
operate using its own internal sync generator. If the Genlock Loop is
unused, terminate it with a 75Ω terminator.
S-Video Output
This four-pin connector on the Multi I/O breakout cable provides
processed, synchronized/timebase-corrected S-Video (Y/C) output.

RGB(S) Video Output
These four BNC connectors on the Multi I/O breakout cable, comprising
auxiliary Red, Green, Blue, and Sync, provide processed, synchronized/
timebase-corrected RGB(S) (RGB with auxiliary sync) video output. If
RGB without auxiliary sync is sufficient, the Aux Sync connection can be
reassigned as an auxiliary composite output. If RGB(S) output is not
required, these outputs can be reconfigured to provide a key channel
output.
Auxiliary Composite Output
The Aux Sync connection on the Multi I/O breakout cable, normally
used for sync in RGB(S) (RGB with auxiliary sync)video output, can be
reassigned to provide an auxiliary composite video output with the Aux
Sync/Comp option in the Video Setup menu.
Key Output
The Aux Sync connection on the Multi I/O breakout cable, normally
used for sync in RGB(S) (RGB with auxiliary sync) video output, can be
reassigned to provide a key channel output with the Aux Output option
in the Video Setup menu.
Audio Connections
The DPS-575AV can process two stereo pairs of analog, AES/EBU, Serial
Digital (SDI) or DV audio (with the optional DV I/O module). The
audio inputs can be selected from the front panel or Audio Setup menu,
and the operator can specify which of the stereo channels are to be
processed. All of the outputs are active simultaneously.
Analog Audio Inputs and Outputs
Two stereo pairs of analog audio inputs and outputs are supported,
designated Channel 1 and Channel 2 on the rear of the unit. Each is
comprised of a left and right component. Each analog audio input
channel can be configured as 600Ω or high impedance. Each channel
can be configured as balanced or unbalanced.

the standard audio breakout cable (Part # 774-755) for AES/EBU input.
An optional audio breakout cable (Part # 774-470A) provides four
connectors for AES/EBU input: two XLR (one for each of Channel 1 and
2), and two BNC (one for each of Channel 1 and 2). The XLR connectors
are used for AES/EBU balanced audio input, while the BNC connectors
are used for unbalanced AES/EBU input. Note that only two of the above
input connections can be used at a time (one for Channel 1 and one for
Channel 2), and they must be of the same type (XLR or BNC). The AES
Source menu option selects between the XLR and BNC connections.
AES/EBU Outputs
Two BNC connectors (one for each of Channel 1 and 2) are provided on
the standard audio breakout cable for AES/EBU output.
An optional audio breakout cable, provides four connectors for
AES/EBU output: two XLR (one for each of Channel 1 and 2), and two
BNC (one for each of Channel 1 and 2). The XLR connectors are used
for AES/EBU balanced audio output, while the BNC connectors are used
for unbalanced AES/EBU output. Both BNC and XLR outputs are
available concurrently.
Audio Delay Pulse/GPI Output
The general-purpose GPI output, a BNC connection on the Multi I/O
breakout cable, can be configured for use as an audio delay pulse output,
to be sent to an external audio delay box or synchronizer.

Serial Digital Embedded Audio Input (SDI)
The unit accepts four channels of embedded audio on the SDI input
port. The four channels can be selected from any group on the SDI
input.
Serial Digital Embedded Audio Output (SDI)
Any of the selected audio inputs can be embedded into the output of the
SDI stream. The operator can select which group of 4 audio channels (of
the 16 available in the SDI format) the output will be embedded into.
Remote Control Ports
In addition to GPI input (for remote triggering of functions such as
Freeze) and output (for triggering external devices), all functions of the
DPS-575 can be remotely controlled by devices capable of either RS-232
or RS-422.
Two additional remote control methods are supported:
•
Digital Coaxial Network (DCN), for use with controllers such as the
RC-575 Remote Control Systems.
•
10BaseT Ethernet networking, for control through a TCP/IP-based
network.
The type of control, and any appropriate parameters, are selected in the
System Config menu, under the Remote Control submenu (see Chapter 12
“System Config Menu” on page 153).
RS-232 and RS-422
This DB-9F connector, labeled RS-232/422 on the rear panel of the unit,
is used to upgrade the internal FLASH firmware. The RS-232 port is also
used for transferring files to the unit from a Microsoft® Windows® based
workstation via custom software (included). See Appendix D, “The
Uploader Software” on page 213 for information on transferring files
from a Microsoft Windows system.

Configuration
Ethernet Port
The 10BaseT Ethernet connector, labeled Ethernet on the rear of the
unit, is used to connect the DPS-575 to a TCP/IP-based network for
remote control and status monitoring. Control of the unit is then
handled through web-browsing software or an RC-575 remote control
panel. See Appendix F, “Ethernet Control” on page 231 for details of
controlling the unit from your web browser. Ethernet can also be used to
control additional DPS-575 units from the front panel of this unit. When
using Ethernet, the IP Address, Netmask, and Gateway settings of the
unit must be configured for your network; your network administrator
can provide you with these settings. These settings are located in the
System Config menu, under the Remote Control submenu. See Chapter 12
“System Config Menu” on page 153 for more information.
DCN
The BNC connector, labeled DCN on the rear of the unit, is used to
provide a DCN (Digital Coaxial Network) interface for remote control
and status monitoring. DCN is a proprietary network in which 75Ω coax
is used as a multi-drop, bi-directional network. Using a BNC
T-connector on the DPS-575, loop coax between each unit and the
remote controller (such as the RC-575). At each end of the chain, install
a 75Ω terminator. Every DPS-575 is assigned a unique DCN address at
the factory, so there is no software configuration required. The
maximum cable length (total) in a DCN configuration should be limited
to 2,000 feet (0.6 km). DCN can also be used to control additional
DPS-575 units from the front panel of this unit.
RC-575 Remote Control
The RC-575 remote control provides an Ethernet port, which permits it
to be conveniently connected to a TCP/IP network. See the RC-575
manual for instructions on using the DPS RC-575 remote control.
GPI Inputs
Two RCA-jack GPI inputs are provided on the Multi I/O breakout cable.
These allow a GPI-based external controller to trigger functions of the
unit. The function triggered by each GPI input is configured in the
System Config menu, under the Misc Setup submenu. See Chapter 12
“System Config Menu” on page 153 for more information.

Menu options, selections, and feedback are shown on the Vacuum
Fluorescent Display (VFD) panel. When the unit is first powered-up, the
display shows product information, which is then replaced by the idle
screen:
Figure 3-2. Idle Screen Display
The idle screen is a real-time status screen which provides feedback
about various parameters of the currently selected inputs. The idle
screen is shown when the user is not adjusting parameters or browsing
the menus.
At regular intervals, the display
“inverts” itself. In the initial state,
text and information appears lit,
over an “unlit” background. In the
inverted state, the background will
be lit, with the text and information
appearing “unlit” (black). This
periodic inversion is normal; it does
not indicate any kind of problem or
status. The inversion is done to
preserve the life span of the display
panel.(Leaving the display in a
single state can cause display pixels
to burn out prematurely.)
The first three lines of the idle screen provide real-time feedback of the
Luma, Black, and Chroma levels of the currently selected video input
source.
With the Audio Synchronizer module installed, the next two lines of the
display show real-time feedback of the Channel 1 and 2 audio input
levels.
On units with the DV I/O module installed, the bottom line of the idle
screen displays the current DV Time Code reported by the connected
DV device, and just to the left of this, the current DV transport state.
The Machine Name specified in the System Config menu (see “System

User-Programmable Buttons
Chapter 3: Operation–Front Panel Controls
User-Programmable Buttons
You can program many of the front-panel buttons on the DPS-575; they
are user-programmable. That is, you can program them to take the user
to a menu or specific function of your choice.
On all units, the User 1, User 2, and Hue buttons are user-programmable.
On units that do not have audio capability, the Audio In button is also
programmable. On units in which an added option board does not
require the Option button to be used, it can be programmed as well.
Of these buttons, only the Hue button has a default function. If you press
one of the other buttons before it is programmed, the following message
appears on the display panel:
This button has not yet been assigned a
function. To program it, select the desired menu
or setting that you wish to assign to it, using
the normal menu controls. Then press and hold
this button for five seconds.
It is easy to reprogram a button, whether a programmable button already
has a function assigned to it or not. Hold down a programmable button
for five seconds to assign to it whatever menu or option is currently
displayed on the display panel.
For example, to assign the User 1 button to adjust the video AGC Bias,
select the AGC Bias option from the Video Setup menu. With the AGC
Bias adjustment screen displayed, press and hold the User 1 button for
approximately five seconds. All LEDs on the unit will then flash once to
indicate successful programming. If programming fails for any reason
(for example, if you attempt to program a button to the idle screen), all
LEDs on the unit will flash three times quickly.
If the programming fails, any
function previously assigned to
that button will have been
erased, so the button will have to
be reprogrammed.
Once the button is programmed, press it to jump to the menu or option
assigned to it. Press it again to cycle through the values (if the button is
assigned an option) or select the active menu choice (if the button is
assigned a menu).
In the above example, press the User 1 button to take you to the AGC Bias
adjustment screen. Each additional press of the User 1 button cycles
through the allowed adjustment values.

may not start up properly, and thus would be unable to automatically
enter Firmware Download mode. In this case, pressing the Enter button
during power-up allows you to upload new firmware to the unit from the
Uploader software.
Self-Test Mode
To force the unit into Self-Test mode, hold down the Bypass button while
turning on the unit. Self-Test mode allows you to test the front-panel
controls and indicators of the unit. The display panel indicates which
particular controls and indicators are being tested.
When you are testing buttons, each press of a button is reported on the
display panel, with the name of the button. To end the testing of buttons,
turn the Control knob left to right.
When you are testing LEDs, each column of indicators on the buttons
lights consecutively left to right. Each row of LEDs on the buttons then
lights consecutively top to bottom. The columns and rows of the
standalone LEDs follow the same pattern, and the process repeats. Press
any button to end the testing of LEDs.
When you are testing the Control knob, each turn reflects a numeric
value shown on the display panel. Press any button to end the testing of
the Control knob, and begin the testing of buttons again.

In TBC mode, generally used for heterodyned signals from sources such
as a VTR, the unit time base corrects the Composite Input signal. The
TBC LED on the front of the unit is on.
In Auto-Switch mode, the unit senses the incoming composite video
signal and selects between Sync and TBC modes automatically as
required. In this mode, the TBC LED flashes when the TBC is active.
The TBC is always used for S-Video input, independent of this setting.

3D Chroma Motion Bias
The 3D Comb Decoder option selects between adaptive 2D and adaptive
3D combing, whether to comb luminance, chroma, or both. 3D combing
combines information from previous frames in order to eliminate
residual subcarrier artifacts such as cross luminance and cross chroma.
3D combing can be utilized even for non-composite input signals. For
example, if the component input video source was decoded from
composite by a less sophisticated decoder, the 3D comb filter in the
DPS-575 can be used to clean up the signal and remove cross luminance
and chroma artifacts.
When set to Disable, 3D combing is disabled, and adaptive 2D combing
is used.
The Luma and Chroma settings enable 3D adaptive combing on
luminance and chrominance respectively, while Both Y+C enables 3D
adaptive combing on both.
Under normal circumstances, Both Y+C is the desirable 3D combing
mode. It is not possible, however, to use both Temporal Noise Reduction
and 3D combing on the same channel simultaneously. For example, if
Temporal NR-Luma is enabled, 3D combing of luminance is not possible,
so the 3D Comb Decoder must be disabled or set to Chroma. However,
this is not a problem; with a sufficient Temporal Noise Reduction setting,
there is no benefit to using the 3D comb filter simultaneously.
Setting this option to Luma or Both Y+C automatically disables Temporal
NR-Luma (sets it to 3D Comb mode). Similarly, setting this option to
Chroma or Both Y+C automatically disables Temporal NR-Chroma (sets it
to 3D Comb mode).

When DigiDuplex Mode is enabled, the DigiDuplex LED on the front
panel is lit, and the unit’s SDI video input is routed to all analog video
outputs, while the selected analog video input is simultaneously
synchronized and sent to the SDI output. With an audio-equipped unit,
conversion between digital and analog audio is handled in a similar
fashion, simultaneously with the video.
The video input front panel controls and menu options specify the
analog video input to be synchronized and sent to the SDI output. Thus,
SDI is not a valid video input selection while in DigiDuplex Mode. If you
enable DigiDuplex Mode while the currently selected video input is SDI,
the video input selection automatically changes to Comp.
The audio input front panel controls and menu options specify the audio
input (Analog, AES/EBU, SDI, Test Tones, or Mute) to be synchronized
and sent to the digital audio outputs (SDI Embedded and/or AES/EBU).
Note that in DigiDuplex Mode, audio input selection for Channels 1 and 2
is locked together and must have the same input format. The DigiDuplex
Input option of the Audio Setup menu determines which digital input
(AES/EBU or SDI) is fed to the analog outputs.
Audio configuration for DigiDuplex Mode is controlled through the
Audio Setup menu (see Chapter 7 “Audio Setup Menu” on page 95).
DigiDuplex Mode cannot be enabled when the Dolby-E (Data) mode is
enabled in the Audio Setup menu. If DigiDuplex Mode is already enabled,
it will be automatically disabled if Dolby-E (Data) Mode is then turned on
in the Audio Setup menu. See Appendix E “DigiDuplex Mode” on
page 225 for a detailed explanation of DigiDuplex Mode and its settings.

CAV-Y Composite
The unit is calibrated based on
the CAV-Y In connection
being used for component
analog video. If the connection
is to be used for composite
video, a minor adjustment of
trimpot IRV2 (CAV-Y) may be
desired to attain perfect video
level match between inputs.
When the CAV-Y Composite option is enabled, the CAV-Y In connection
on the rear of the unit functions as a second composite video input. This
input is then selected either as CAV from the front panel controls or
Component from the Input Source option of the Video Setup menu.
When this option is disabled, the CAV-Y In connection functions
normally as the luminance input for component video input.

The Chroma Pairing Filter is only available in 625-line mode [PAL] and is
only active when the unit’s TBC is active. This option has no effect when
the unit is in 525-line mode or the TBC is not in use.
The Norm setting should be ideal for most situations, while the Max
setting should be used in cases of severe chroma line pairing artifacting.
If you are familiar with the
DPS-470 (the predecessor to the
DPS-575), you may notice that
the SDI Edge Insertion option
available on the DPS-470 is not
configurable on the DPS-575.
SDI Edge Insertion is present in
the DPS-575 and is always
enabled. “Blanking-to-setup”
level transitions are dynamically
added by the unit based on the
current input video signal levels.
If the input signal lacks setup
(for example, super-black), no
unnecessary transitions are
generated. If the input signal has
setup, correctly shaped edges are
added to conform with RS-170A
specifications (140 ns rise time).

Audio Setup Menu
Overview
The Audio Setup menu is used to configure and control the audio
settings of the DPS-575.
The Channel 1 submenu and Channel 2 submenu of the Audio Setup
menu contain the same option settings. They differ only in which
channel the settings affect. For example, the Channel 1 submenu contains
the option Ch1-Input, while the Channel 2 submenu contains the option
Ch2-Input. Both options perform the same function, selecting the audio
input for their respective channels. The functions of these options are
discussed later in this chapter.
The Both Channels submenu is simply a concatenation of the Channel 1
and Channel 2 submenu, allowing you access to options for each channel
from a single menu. These settings affect the channel specified in the
prefix (Ch1 or Ch2) of the options Ch1-Input or Ch2-Input.
The settings in the Global Audio Config submenu affect the audio of both
Channel 1 and Channel 2 of the DPS-575.

Valid Settings
Analog, AES/EBU, SDI, DV, Option, Mute, Test Tones
Default Setting Analog
Related Setting 96 kHz AES Output
Mute disables audio output; Test Tones outputs audio test tones from the
unit. The parameters of the test tones (Level, Frequency) are set in the
Tone Level, Test Freq-L, and Test Freq-R options detailed later in this
chapter.
If AFV (Audio-Follows-Video) mode is enabled, changing the input
setting performs a one-time override of AFV mode; the next time the
video input selection is changed, the audio will again follow it.
The input selection for Channels 1 and 2 cannot be selected
independently if 96 kHz AES Output mode (detailed later in this chapter)
is enabled; they must then always be set to the same input source.
When Dolby-E (Data) Mode is enabled (see “Dolby-E (Data) Mode”
section on page 117), the audio input selection for Channel 1 is locked to
AES/EBU, and only this channel supports Dolby-E data. SDI Embedded
audio cannot be used while the unit is in this mode.

Channel 2, Chan 1 will be listed as an option; when this is selected, the
audio input selection for Channel 2 will switch to match that of Channel
1 when the video input selection is changed to the specified format. This
overrides the swapping of channels with the Channel In->Out option.
For example, if AFV-Composite is set to Analog, the audio input selection
for this channel will automatically switch to Analog when the video

if the audio input selection is set to AES/EBU, the system will use a 96
kHz sampling rate, thus providing 96 kHz input and output. While
using this 96 kHz sampling rate, only AES/EBU outputs are active; all
other outputs are muted. The use of the 96 kHz sampling rate results
in the maximum valid value of the Fixed Delay option (see “Fixed

GPI-1 Function, GPI-2 Function, GPO Function
Voice-over mixing in the DPS-575 allows the program audio on input
Channel 1 to be ramped down, mixed with voice-over audio on input
Channel 2, and ramped back up upon completion of the voice-over.
When Voice-Over is activated, the program audio on input Channel 1
will immediately begin ramping down to the setting of the Voice-Over
Pgm. Level option. The duration of the ramp-down is specified in the
Voice-Over Fade option. The voice-over audio on Channel 2 is muted
during this ramp-down. Once the ramp-down is complete, the program
audio on input Channel 1 will be mixed with the voice-over audio on
input Channel 2. When the Voice-Over option is later set back to Off
(upon completion of the voice-over), the voice-over audio on Channel 2
is again muted, and the program audio on input Channel 1 will begin
ramping back up to its original level.
Note that the gain of the voice-over audio on Channel 2 will not be
automatically adjusted. It is recommended that the user adjust the gain
of Channel 2 using the Gain-L and Gain-R options (see page 98 for more
information) to compensate for the averaging/mixing that is occurring
between Channels 1 and 2 during the voice-over. The recommended
gain for the voice-over audio on Channel 2 is -0.5, the value specified in
Voice-Over Pgm. Level. For example, if Voice-Over Pgm. Level is set to 6
db, it is recommended that the user set Gain-L and Gain-R for Channel 2
to 3 db.
Voice-over mixing may also be triggered through GPI control. When the
GPI-1 Function or GPI-2 Function options (see “System Config Menu” on
page 153) are set to Voice-Over, the unit’s Audio Voice-Over mode will be
activated by a GPI signal, exactly as if manually enabled. Voice-over
mixing remains active while the GPI signal is present. Voice-over mixing
is stopped and program audio begins ramping back up upon release of
the GPI trigger, similar to setting Voice-Over back to Off.

When this option is set to Comb-3D, luminance temporal noise
reduction is disabled, allowing the use of the 3D comb filter decoder on
luminance.
The other valid settings control the averaging effect of previous frames
on the output, for example, how heavily the output is weighted towards
past frames vs. the current frame being processed.
When this option is set to Min, the output is based almost entirely on the
current frame being processed. When this option is set to Max, the
output is based almost entirely on information from past frames,
creating an undesirable shadowing effect.
It is not possible to use both Temporal Noise Reduction and 3D combing
on the same channel simultaneously. (For example, if Temporal NR-Luma
is enabled, 3D combing of luminance is not possible, so the 3D comb
decoder must be disabled or set to Chroma.) This is not a problem; with
a sufficient Temporal Noise Reduction setting, there would be no benefit
to using the 3D comb filter simultaneously.
Setting this option to any value other than Comb-3D automatically
disables 3D combing of luminance in the 3D Comb Decoder option.
This setting will be automatically disabled (set to Comb-3D) if you enable

Installation of Hardware Options
Overview
If you have purchased hardware option boards (such as the DV I/O
Audio Synchronizer module, and Animated Logo option) separately
from the DPS-575, you will need to install them. The following
instructions guide you through installing these options safely and
correctly.
Depending on which upgrade option you have purchased, you may be
required to enter an unlock code to enable the new option. See “Enable
Extra Options” on page 158 for details. The DV I/O option, the Audio
Synchronizer option, and the Animated Logo option do not require an
unlock code.

Precautions
Precautions
WARNING: Static Electricity!
Static electricity from your body can damage your hardware option
boards or the DPS-575. Even though you may not notice it, static
electricity is being generated every time you move. Usually, it is too
small to cause a spark, but it can still cause damage to sensitive
electronic components.
202
•
To prevent this damage, you should handle the option board
carefully.
•
Do not take the option board out of its protective bag until you are
ready to install it.
•
Do not carry the board around unless it is in its protective bag.
•
Avoid wearing wool or polyester clothing while installing the option.
These fabrics generate more static electricity than cotton garments.
•
Before touching the option board, you should discharge any static
electricity from your body by first touching the grounded metal
chassis of the DPS-575 (the unit must be plugged in to be grounded).

The Uploader Software
Overview
The Uploader software, which runs on Microsoft® Windows® 95, 98,
and Windows NT® 4, is used to perform firmware upgrades to the
DP-575, and to transfer video stills and animations to the unit from the
PC.
Be sure to check the Leitch web
site (www.Leitch.com)
frequently for updates to the
Uploader software, and for
updated firmware for the unit.
This section assumes that you have a working knowledge of the
Windows operating system, and that either the RS-232/422 port of the
DPS-575 unit is connected via a serial cable to one of the RS-232 serial
ports on your PC, or the DPS-575 is networked via the Ethernet port to
your PC (use a cross-over network cable if connecting the DPS-575
directly to the PC).

Software Installation
Software Installation
To install the Uploader software, follow these steps:
1. If you have downloaded the Uploader software from the Leitch web
site, unZIP the file into a directory on your hard drive. (The ZIP file
format is a compressed format commonly used for file distribution;
utilities to decompress ZIP files are readily available on the web).
2. Open the directory where the unzipped files are now located (or
open the CD-ROM containing the Uploader software), and
double-click the Setup icon. The installer will run.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software. You may
accept the default location for the software installation or select a
different directory.
The software is copied to the appropriate location, and you are
prompted when installation is complete.

DPS-575 Installation and Operation Manual
Starting the Software
Appendix D: The Uploader Software
Starting the Software
To start the Uploader software, select it from the Programs menu of the
Windows Start button.
Click Start > Programs > DPS > Uploader. You can run the program from
here or create a shortcut to it on your desktop.
Using the Software
Uploader software has two modes of operation:
•
Upload File mode is used to transfer files to the DPS-575.
•
File Conversion mode is used to convert still image files and
animations into formats that can be later uploaded.
The first time you run the Uploader software, you will need to set your
serial port or Ethernet configuration in the Connection Type section.
For serial connections, select the serial port on your computer to which
you have connected the DPS-575.
For Ethernet connections, enter the IP Address of the DPS-575 (see
“System Config Menu” on page 153 for information about setting the IP
Address of the DPS-575.
Once you have configured your connection type, click the Save Settings
button; your configuration will then be remembered whenever you run
the software.

The following file types can be uploaded directly to the DPS-575. The
unit recognizes file types based on their filename extension (.ext). For
example, with the filename filename.ext, the following types are
recognized, where .ext is one of the following:
If you have downloaded upgrade
files from the Leitch web site, you
will have to unZIP them before
they can be uploaded to the unit.
See “Software Installation” on
page 214 for more information.

The number of files that can be transferred to the DPS-575 is contingent
on the amount of free memory available in the unit. As the files are
stored in a compressed form, file sizes will vary from image to image.
For example, a file that consists of solid black will compress easily and
take up less memory in the unit than a complicated image.

Upgrading Firmware
Appendix D: The Uploader Software
Upgrading Firmware
If the unit’s memory is almost full, when upgrading the firmware of the
unit (.afg, .vf5, .vf6, or .frm files), you may have to delete the existing
firmware files from the unit before uploading the new ones. This is a
safety mechanism of the firmware upgrade process — old firmware is
not deleted from the unit until it is confirmed that the new firmware file
has been received successfully in its entirety. As a result, uploading
firmware requires there to be sufficient free space to store the new
firmware files as well as the old ones; once the n
In cases where available memory is limited and there are multiple
firmware files to be uploaded, it is advantageous to upload them one at a
time (instead of as a batch); deletion of old firmware files is done only
after all files in a batch are uploaded, so a batch upload would require
enough free memory to store all new files.
To delete old firmware files prior to uploading new ones, use the Flash
Memory Mgmt option of the System Config menu (see Chapter 12
“System Config Menu” on page 153 for details) to delete individual files,
or the Erase Firmware Power-Up Key (see Chapter 3 “Erase Firmware” on
page 39).
If you have image files to transfer to the unit that are not in one of the
above recognized formats, you need to convert them first using the File
Conversion mode of the Uploader software (see “Converting Files” on
page 219).
DPS-575 Installation and Operation Manual

Appendix D: The Uploader Software
Uploading Files
Uploading Files
To upload files to the DPS-575, ensure that the unit is powered on and
that the serial port settings of the Uploader software are correctly set for
the connection between the PC and the unit.
Build a list of files to be uploaded by using the following buttons:
•
Add Files: Click this button to bring up a standard Windows file
requester to select files to upload. Use the Files of Type pull-down list
to choose between browsing for firmware files and image/animation
files. Select the files you wish to add to the list and click Open.
•
Remove: Click on a file in the list of files to be uploaded, and then
click the Remove button to delete it from the list.
•
Remove All: Click this button to clear the list of files to be uploaded.
•
Once all your files have been added to the upload list, click the Start
Upload button to begin the transfer.
First, the software tries to establish a connection with the DPS-575.
During this time, a button labeled Cancel Connection Attempt appears.
Click this button if you want to abort the upload attempt. Use of this
button may be necessary if the software is unable to establish a
connection to the unit. If a connection cannot be established, the
Connection Type may be set to the wrong serial port, or there may be a
physical connection problem with the serial cabling.
Once a connection has been established, all indicators on the DPS-575
light up, and the display panel shows the progress of the transfer of the
files. A progress status bar in the Uploader software shows similar
information. If there is insufficient memory in the unit to receive the new
files, a corresponding message is displayed, and the Upload aborts.
During the transfer of files, you may click the Stop Upload button to
abort the upload process. Do not stop the upload process by any other
means (such as by powering down the unit) as this may leave corrupt
files in the unit.
Once all selected files are uploaded, a dialog box informs you of
completion and the number of files transferred successfully.

DPS-575 Installation and Operation Manual
Converting Files
Appendix D: The Uploader Software
Converting Files
Prior to uploading to the DPS-575, still image files, test patterns, and
animation image sequences must be converted into the .dst, .dts and
.dan file formats recognized by the unit. Click the File Conversion tab in
the Uploader software to bring up an interface to allow you to perform
this conversion. This access can also be used to convert from DPS .dst
and .dts files back to standard Windows file formats or DPS Hollywood
files.
The conversion utility supports the standard Windows file formats .jpg,
.bmp, .tga, and .tif. It also supports 8-bit and 10-bit .yuv files from the
DPS Hollywood.
Single still image files in the above formats are converted to 8-bit .dst
files (for use with the linear keyer) or 10-bit .dts files (for use with the
Test Signal Generator) for the DPS-575.
When converting to .dst, any alpha channel information stored in the
source file will be used for the DPS-575 keyer. If a source image is too
large (greater than 720 x 486 NTSC or 720 x 576 PAL), it is cropped. If a
source image is smaller than the screen size, the unused area is treated as
transparent by the keyer. If a 10-bit Hollywood .yuv file is converted to
.dst, it is down-sampled to 8-bit, and the extra resolution is lost.
When converting to .dts, any alpha channel information in the source
file is lost. You may convert 8-bit image formats such as .bmp to 10-bit
.dts files for use as test signals, but no additional resolution is gained.
Ideally, 10-bit Hollywood .yuv files should be used as the source of .dts
files for maximum quality.
Animation files for the DPS-575 (.dan files) are created from a
numbered sequence of image files, all of which must be stored in the
same directory. For example, anim0001.tga, anim0002.tga, and
anim0003.tga would be converted into an animation file named
anim.dan. At least one leading zero is required in the naming convention
of image sequences (i.e. anim1.tga, anim2.tga, anim3.tga is not a valid
sequence). When selecting the source files to be built into an animation,
it is important to add only the first image of the sequence into the Files to
Convert list. In the above example, only anim0001.tga would be selected
for conversion; the rest of the sequence would be converted
automatically.

Converting Files
Appendix D: The Uploader Software
To convert between file formats, first build a list of files to be converted
by using the following buttons:
•
Add Files: Click this button to bring up a standard Window file
requester, for selecting which files to convert.Use the Files of Type
pulldown list to choose between browsing for standard Windows file
formats, and DPS image files. Select the files you wish to add to the
list, and click Open. You can use the Add Files button multiple times,
to add files from multiple distinct locations to the list.
Remember that when converting a sequence of frames into an
animation file, add only the first source frame to the conversion list.
•
Remove: Click on a file in the list of files to be converted, then click
•
Remove button to delete it from the list.
•
Remove All: Click this button to clear the list of files to be converted.
By default, image files are converted to .dst files for use with the keyer.
This default can be changed in the Preferences window. To change the
destination file type of an individual file, click that file in the Destination
Files window; the Select Destination Type drop-down box becomes
active, and you can choose which output file format you want.
Scrolling the Source Files window
does not automatically scroll the
Destination Files window with it;
simply click on one of the files,
and the other window will jump
to the corresponding file.
When converting from DPS .dst or .dts image files back into standard
Windows file formats, the default output file format is .bmp. This default
can be changed (to .dts test signals) in the Preferences window. To
change the destination file type of an individual file, click that file in the
Destination Files window; the Select Destination Type drop-down box
becomes active, and you can choose which output file format you want.
If there are more files in the conversion lists than will fit in the window, a
scroll bar will appear, allowing you to scroll through the list.
Once all of your desired files have been added to the conversion list, click
the Start Conversion button to begin processing. Converted files are
saved into the same directory as the source images.
During the conversion process, you may click the Stop Conversion button
to abort the process after the current file has completed.

Field Ordering in Stills and Animations
Field Ordering in Stills and Animations
The graphics files that are uploaded to the DPS-575 are originally stored
in standard graphics file formats. These file formats do not distinguish
between fields or otherwise deal with interlace. Industry convention is to
treat each “row” of the file as a separate “line” of video on alternating
fields. All of the odd rows will end up in one field and the even rows in
the other field.
For still images, this convention works fine, and it doesn't matter which
row ends up in which field. Any parts of the image that are only one row
tall will appear to flicker at the field rate (60Hz). Graphics software
intended to produce graphics files for video applications will perform
some vertical filtering to avoid this situation. On the computer screen
(which is not interlaced), the image may look “soft” as a result.
On the DPS-575 in NTSC mode, the first row of the graphics file will be
put into Field 2, and the second into Field 1. Thus, over the entire height,
the even rows (if you start counting from zero on the first row) will be in
Field 2, and the odd rows will be shown in Field 1. On the DPS-575 in
PAL mode, however, the opposite is true. For still images, this detail
doesn't matter. However, for animations. it is critically important.

Figure D-3. Field Ordering in NTSC and PAL
A smooth animation requires motion blur. To show this blur as it would
be captured by a real video camera, the animation must be rendered as
separate fields, at 30 frames per second (60 fields per second) for NTSC
(most animation software does not support the precise frame rate of
29.97 Fps). Most animation software is aware of broadcast video and can
do this very easily. If your software is more primitive, you could render
222
DPS-575 Installation and Operation Manual
Field Ordering in Stills and Animations
Appendix D: The Uploader Software
your sequence at 60 frames per second, and then take the even lines of
the even frames and the odd lines of the odd frames to make a new
sequence that is 30 frames per second (with two fields per frame). In
rendering for PAL, you would do the same, but at 25 frames per second
or 50 fields per second.
Field 2 comes out after Field 1 in time, and that is how they get their
names. Therefore, for an NTSC animation, you should have Field 1 (the
first field in time) starting on the second row of the graphics file (and on
the following odd lines). However, for a PAL animation, the opposite is
true: Field 1 should be the first row of your graphics file (and subsequent
even lines). Since an animation intended for PAL or NTSC will normally
be rendered with a particular frame rate in mind (either 30 or 25), this is
not a serious restriction.
Most animation software (for example 3D Studio Max or LightWave 3D)
has a software control for determining field dominance, which you must
select before rendering to match these requirements.

Maximum Animation Sequence Length and Frame Size
Maximum Animation Sequence
Length and Frame Size
The maximum length of an animation sequence is a function of the size
of the individual frames. Each frame of the animation is “integer-tiled”
across a buffer that is 720 pixels wide (one video line),and 846 lines tall.
To be integer-tiled means that only an integer number of tiles is allowed
horizontally or vertically, and any leftover (fractional) space will be
wasted. So, for example, an 80 x 60 frame will fit exactly 720/80 = 9 times
across, and 846/60 = 14 times vertically. You can have a sequence as long
as 126 frames (9 x 14). If your image is 81 x 62, however, only 8 will fit
across and 13 down, giving you a total of just 104 frames.
The DPS-575 allows any size of frame, as long as it fits into memory. You
could have an image 720 pixels wide by 16 lines tall and animate it over
52 frames. It is in your best interest to choose a frame size that is an
integer fraction of the line width (720) to reduce wasted buffer memory.
The following table gives examples of the maximum sequence length for
various frame sizes:
Frame Size
No. of Tiles
Width

Max No. of
Frames

It is not possible to calculate animation file sizes exactly (for example,
the amount of memory needed to store a particular sequence) in
advance because there is a loss-less compression step and the resulting
size will vary depending on the content of the animation file. Without
the compression, each pixel would require 3 bytes. Therefore, the 80 x 60
examples above would take, at most, 1.7 MB (plus a bit of overhead).

DigiDuplex Mode
What is DigiDuplex?
The exclusive DigiDuplex™ Mode of the DPS-575 provides bi-directional
connectivity between analog and digital devices.
In DigiDuplex Mode, the unit’s SDI video input is routed to all analog
video outputs, while the selected analog video input is simultaneously
synchronized and sent to the SDI output.
With audio-equipped units, conversion between digital and analog
audio is handled in similar fashion, simultaneously with the video.
Either the AES/EBU or SDI audio input is transcoded to the analog
audio outputs (and, if desired, the AES/EBU outputs), while a separately
selected audio input (analog, AES/EBU, SDI, Test Tones, or Mute) is
synchronized and sent to the digital audio outputs (SDI Embedded
and/or AES/EBU.
DigiDuplex Mode is enabled and disabled with the DigiDuplex Mode
option of the Video Setup menu.
DigiDuplex Mode cannot be enabled when the Dolby-E (Data) Mode is
enabled in the Audio Setup menu. If DigiDuplex Mode is already enabled,
it will be automatically disabled if Dolby-E (Data) Mode is then selected
in the Audio Setup menu.

Ethernet Control
Configuring Ethernet Control
The 10BaseT Ethernet connector, labeled Ethernet on the rear of the
unit, is used to connect the DPS-575 to a TCP/IP-based network for
remote control and status monitoring through web-browsing software.
To utilize Ethernet control of the DPS-575, the unit must be configured
for your network. Three networking parameters, found in the Remote
Control Setup submenu of the System Config menu, must be configured
for your network:
•
IP Address
•
Netmask
•
Gateway
Your network administrator can provide you with appropriate settings.
If you are setting up a new, dedicated network for the DPS-575 unit, the
default IP Address of 10.0.XX.YY (where XX.YY is the internal serial
number in each DPS-575 unit) should be adequate; the controlling
computer would then have another address in this range (such as
10.0.0.100). See Chapter 12 “System Config Menu” on page 153 for
more details.
You should also specify a Machine Name; this option is found in the same
submenu. The Machine Name will be used to reference the DPS-575 unit
by remote control devices such as the RC-575 or additional DPS-575.
Do not exceed 48 units on the
same subnet.
Do not exceed three web browsers
on the same subnet.

Upload File to Unit
After uploading firmware files
(.afg, .vf5, .vf6, or .frm files), the
unit must be reset (either with
the Reset button, or by power
cycling).
Click Upload File to Unit from the main Web Server Control interface to
upload firmware upgrades, video stills and animations to the DPS-575.
See Appendix D, “The Uploader Software” on page 213 for a list of file
types uploadable to the unit.
If you are running the Microsoft Windows operating system and you
have image files that you wish to transfer to the unit that are not in a
supported format, you will have to convert them first using the File
Conversion mode of the Uploader software. See Appendix D, “The
Uploader Software” on page 213.
Note that if you have downloaded upgrade files from the Leitch web site,
you will have to unZIP them before they can be uploaded to the unit.
(The ZIP file format is a compressed format commonly used for file
distribution; utilities to uncompress ZIP files are readily available on the
web).
Type the complete filename (including the directory path) into the File
to Upload requester, or click the Browse button to browse your drives and
select the desired file. Click the Start Upload button to transfer the
specified file to the DPS-575. You will be notified upon completion of
the upload.
Upgrading Firmware
You must reset the DPS-575 unit
after performing a firmware
upgrade. To do this, simply turn
the unit off and on.
When upgrading the firmware of the unit (.afg, .vf5, .vf6, or .frm files), it
may be necessary to delete the existing firmware files from the unit
before uploading the new ones if the unit’s memory is almost full. This is
a safety mechanism of the firmware upgrade process — old firmware is
not deleted from the unit until it is confirmed that the new firmware file
has been received successfully in its entirety. As a result, uploading
firmware requires sufficient free space to store the new firmware files as
well as the old ones. Once the new firmware files are validated, the old
firmware files will be deleted.
To delete old firmware files prior to uploading new ones, use the Flash
Memory Mgmt option of the System Config menu (see Chapter 12
“System Config Menu” on page 153 for details) to delete individual files,
or the Erase Firmware Power-Up Key (see Chapter 3 “Operation–Front
Panel Controls” on page 17 to delete all firmware files.
