2Introduction

Synapse is a modular system containing multiple 19 frames, active hot swappable cards and (mostly) passive connector

panels. It is designed to support demanding mission critical applications in the broadcast industry. Although Synapse

has a unique approach and is unequalled in its flexibility you could position the system in what the industry calls glue,

infrastructure equipment, terminal gear or just modular equipment.

3The system explained

Synapse is unique and very flexible but its basic core and construction adheres to a simple design concept. A brief technical

description of the basic elements and how they are constructed:

The processing cards connect directly into the frame via a high density connector that powers the cards with a single

voltage supplied by a hot swappable (dual redundant) power supply. The single rail of a relativity high 30V DC ensures

stable operation and low supply currents that ensures high efficiency in the supply and its distribution rail. All voltages

that are needed on the active modules, including +5V, +3.3V, +2.5V, +1.8V even 1.5V and +/-15V are derived from the

main supply voltage with local switched mode regulators. These local regulators ensure stable, low noise, local supply

high voltages and inter card isolation. The size of the Synapse card and the connector panel is the result of several design

criteria that were defined in the original design. Today we are very happy that we have this fairly large PCB in order to

maximize the processing power requested by modern broadcast infrastructures.

Synapse frames offer more than just a housing that hold different processing modules. They are unique intelligent

systems that form the foundation of extremely flexible building blocks. These building blocks (almost 300 different plug-

in processing modules) range from simple functions like a distribution amplifier to cards that perform a massive array of

functions in a single slot, previously only possible with multiple cascade cards.

4Lowest cost of ownership and future proof

Synapse has various unique features that ensure a good return on investment and many years of trouble free operation

with the inherent versatility to adapt to changes in this constantly moving industry.

Single form factor

Moving cards between all frames, never restricted by variable frame dimensions, protecting your investment for

future (re) use and ensuring compatibility with the total infrastructure.

Single slot functions (single width I/O panels) with massive processing power

This means dividing your card count by 18, 8, or 4 to calculate the amount of 4RU, 2RU or 1RU frames (going to

press, there are just two exceptions in Synapse: Teranex based up/down/cross/standards conversion that due to its

sheer power requirement takes up 2 slots = 34W and the long time delay cards which consists of one processing

board and one board containing the solid state disks).

Ethernet is part of the frame

No loss of rack space if you need to connect the frames to your control, monitoring and setup network as the rack

controller is a standard feature of the frame at no additional cost.

Internal reference distribution amplifiers that do not take up an extra slot

Offers savings in cabling and savings in space. The frames come with an integrated (dual) reference distribution

amplifier. One connection to the frame and all cards are locked to a central reference.

Fiber connectivity

Beside a very high density (up to 144 channels in 4RU) 3Gb/s capable fiber range, Synapse also offers optional fiber

I/O on virtually every module with SD, HD or 3Gb/s SDI I/O.

Self contained cooling

The 3 Synapse frames are self contained systems where the temperature housekeeping is an integral part of the frame.

Unique architecture

Internal passive daisy chain (Synapse bus) for enhanced inter-card data transfer such as 64 audio channels or 1080p

video in SynView.

Multiview is an integrated part of Synapse

Synapse is the only modular system that has a fully integrated multiview system that can be mixed and matched

with all other Synapse processing cards.

Routing can be added in a Synapse based system

SynCross is a modular routing system that is also fully compatible with Synapse. The GXP880 is the central part of

the system and contains a 40x40 crosspoint module and local 8 x 8 I/O.

Life time free upgrades

Via www.axon.tv you can download the latest feature and function upgrades for your cards free of charge.

Free monitoring, control and setup with Cortex

Cortex is the choice of software for broadcast monitoring, control and setup applications and free of charge in its

advanced base form.

5Single form factor

Synapse is based on a single form factor. This is important as it will protect your investment and ensures inter frame

swapping when systems change or the infrastructure is dynamic (as in OB-vans). All cards sold today can fit in a frame

first sold in 2001, and every card sold from day one will fit in a frame sold today.

This is protection of your investment and lowers cost of ownership when things change.

Thanks to the front card and rear connector panel construction, Synapse can use different connectors between the front

and the back. It is not limited to a single connector model and therefore the R&D team of AXON can make selections that

best suit the performance needed. There are for instance, amongst others, 96-pin DIN41612 connectors, 4-coax+64 pin

DIN41612 connectors, 8-coax connectors and the recently introduced 90 degree angled PCIe connectors.

This single form factor is used in 3 frame options:

SFR18 4RU 18 slots dual power supply dual reference

SFR08 2RU 8 slots dual power supply dual reference

SFR04 1RU 4 slots single power supply single reference

The ADC20 is an analog audio to digital audio converter with

tracking delay and delay offset. The delay offset range is from 0 ms

up to 5200 ms at 48 kHz. This card can only be used as an ADD-ON

card. In this mode the card is set to embed audio signals and acts

as an Analog input board that feeds a MASTER card positioned to

the left, with embedding functionality. The SEB10, for example,

can perform an embedding function with the ADC20 as its input

card. The ADC20 converts the analog audio into AES/EBU signals

and puts it on the Synapse bus. The signals can be embedded into

the SDI data stream. Other cards with an embedding function are:

ASV08, ASV12, ASV22, HFS11 and more. The compatible cards of

this product can be recognized by a yellow arrow pointing towards

the block schematic.

The ADC24 is a multi-functional product. Its basic function is the

conversion of analog audio to AES/EBU digital audio. In addition to

the analog inputs it has AES/EBU inputs with a sample rate converter

(SRC). The ADC24 has a tracking audio delay, and a delay offset of

up to 650ms at 96kHz or 1300ms at 48kHz. It can also perform the

Synapse ADD-ON function. In ADD-ON mode the card acts as an

analog or digital audio input board that feeds a MASTER card

positioned one slot left of the ADD-ON card. The ADC24 for example

acts as a analog audio embedder if used in combination with the

ASV12, SFS11 or HFS11 (many more options available). The audio

data that enters the Synapse bus to a MASTER card is identical to

the data present in the local AES/EBU outputs. The AES/EBU

in- and outputs are available on 75 Ohm BNC or 110 Ohm on screw

terminals and sub-D connectors. This selection is determined by

the type of connector panel.

PHASE PROCESSING

The DAC24 is a multi-functional product. Its basic function is the

conversion of AES/EBU digital audio to analog audio. In addition to

the analog outputs it has AES/EBU outputs and offers the Synapse

ADD-ON function. In ADD-ON mode the card acts as an input board

that is fed by a MASTER card that is positioned one slot left of the

ADD-ON card. The DAC24 for example acts as an analog and digital

audio de-embedder when used in combination with the AXON

SAV12 or SFS12 (more options available see below). The AES/EBU

in- and outputs are available on 75 Ohm BNC or 110 Ohm screw

terminals and sub-D. This selection is determined by the type of

connector panel. The BPL02 has 75 Ohm AES/EBU in- and outputs.

The user has control over channel selection/swapping, and gain

and phase control of all 4 audio channels.


Additional AES/EBU outputs

96kHz and 48kHz sample clock locked to: black and burst ref

or Word Clock ref. (in ADD-ON, only 48kHz)

96kHz and 48kHz sample clock in free running mode

(In ADD-ON, only 48kHz)

Available with 110 Ohm (phoenix or sub-D) or 75 Ohm (BNC)

The G-HEB990-950-900-550-500 is a 3GB/s SDI, HD SDI and SD SDI

audio embedder. It is capable of inserting or appending free-running

AES/EBU digital or analog audio channels. The card has 2 option input

boards: 4 mono analog audio inputs (4ch total) or 4 stereo AES/EBU

inputs (8ch total) per board.

The core of these modules consists of four embedder blocks and 2

delay blocks. These blocks can be used for a single SDI 4 group

embedder (with up to 1 sec of video offset delay), or in parallel for 2

individual channels with 2 group embedders each (with individual

500ms offset delay) in a TWINS function. Each block is capable of

embedding 4 audio channels into one group, which gives a total of 16

audio channels into four (or 2x2) groups. The TWINS mode is a single

command operation and controls 4 individual selection switches as

can be seen in the block diagram.

In addition, four ADD-ON cards can be connected to create a routing

matrix. The architecture of Emb_A to Emb_D blocks is identical. The

local AES inputs can be controlled to adjust Phase, Gain and delay (on

the fly).

Future upgrades are possible, like for instance the HEB900 can be

future upgraded to HEB990, GEB900 or GEB990.
