Synchroniza on Why synchroniza on is required? 8K monitor requires 16 HD- SDI signals which have completely same frequency and same phase each other 8K monitor does not have enough buffer to absorb ji er or difference of frequency of input HD- SDI signals XMS system Smallest system is highly cost- effec ve, but it can not play back 8K (up to 4K@60p) per unit XMS records 8K video as independent 16 HD video streams for scalability reason It is PC- based system which has low accuracy quartz. So, each XMS system maybe work with different clock QG- 70 High accuracy quartz Four QG- 70s are required for 8K- video transmission Maybe output HD- SDI signals different phase each QG- 70 Mul ple XMSs and QG- 70s must be introduced for 8K video transmission system Synchroniza on is required in case of play back 8K video from XMS systems We have developed and implemented synchroniza on mechanism shown in following slides for XMS and QG- 70 to transmit UHDTV (c) Copyright: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone, 2014 11
Synchroniza on (Cont.) Frequency and phase synchroniza on Introduce reference signals into all receiver QG- 70s to synchronize frequency and phase between all output HD- SDI signals Each receiver QG- 70 sends synchroniza on packets to sender XMS system to synchronize frequency between receiver and sender Sync signal generator Adjust frequency and phase Synchroniza on packets Adjust frequency QG- 70 (Receiver) XMS (Sender) 8K monitor HD- SDI x 4 (c) Copyright: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone, 2014 12
Synchroniza on (Cont.) Frame number synchroniza on XMS records 16 fragments of same 8K- video frame with same ID Select one QG- 70 among receivers as Master Master QG- 70 broadcast the ID with which it currently play back frame to all other receiver We can get complete synchroniza on at receiver side by using above methods And also get complete synchroniza on using mul ple 10- Gbps networks with different delay because of this scalable method ID=1 ID=1 Report current ID QG- 70 (Receiver) ID=1 ID=2 ID=3 ID=1 ID=2 ID=3 ID=1 Relay current ID ID=1 ID=2 ID=3 (c) Copyright: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone, 2014 13
