1 Introduction to Synapse
An Introduction to
Synapse
Synapse is a modular system designed for the broadcast industry.
High density, intuitive operation and high quality processing are
key features of this system. Synapse offers a full range of
converters and processing modules. Please visit the EVS Broadcast
Equipment SA Website at http://www.evs.com to obtain the latest
information on our new products and updates.
Local Control Panel The local control panel gives access to all adjustable parameters
and provides status information for any of the cards in the Synapse
frame, including the Synapse rack controller. The local control
panel is also used to back-up and restore card settings. Please refer
to the RRC18, RRC10, RRC04, RRS18 and RRS04 manuals for a
detailed description of the local control panel, the way to set-up
remote control over IP and for frame related settings and status
information.
Remote Control
Capabilities
The remote control options are explained in the rack controller
(RRC18/RRC10/RRC04/RRS18/RRS04) manual. The method of
connection to a computer using Ethernet is described in the
RRC/RRS manual.
! CHECK-OUT: “EVS CORTEX” SOFTWARE WILL
INCREASE SYSTEM FLEXIBILITY OF ONE OR
MORE SYNAPSE FRAMES
Although not required to use Cortex with a Synapse frame, you are
strongly advised to use a remote personal computer or laptop PC
with EVS Cortex installed, as this increases the ease of use and
understandin
g
of the modules.

2 Unpacking and Placement
Unpacking The EVS Synapse card must be unpacked in an anti-static
environment. Care must be taken NOT to touch components on the
card – always handle the card carefully by the edges. The card
must be stored and shipped in anti-static packaging. Ensuring that
these precautions are followed will prevent premature failure from
components mounted on the board.
Locating and
placing the card
The Synapse card can be placed vertically in an SFR18 frame or
horizontally in an SFR04 and SFR08 frame. Locate the two guide
slots to be used, slide in the mounted circuit board, and push it
firmly to locate the connectors.
Correct insertion of card is essential as a card that is not located
properly may show valid indicators, but does not function
correctl
y
.
REMARK: On power up all LEDs will light for a few seconds,
this is the time it takes to initialise the card.

3 A Quick Start
When Powering-up On powering up the Synapse frame, the card set will use basic data
and default initialisation settings. All LEDs will light during this
process. After initialisation, several LEDs will remain lit – the
exact number and configuration is dependant upon the number of
inputs connected and the status of the inputs.
Changing settings
and parameters
The front panel controls or the EVS Cortex can be used to change
settings. An overview of the settings can be found in chapter 5, 6
and 7 of this manual.
