before making any other connections.

Operate built in units only when they are properly fitted into the system.

For permanently cabled units without built in fuses, automatic switches, or similar
protective facilities, the AC supply line must be fitted with fuses rated to the units.

Before switching on the unit, ensure that the operating voltage set at the unit matches
the line voltage, if appropriate. If a different operating voltage is to be set, use a fuse
with the appropriate rating. Refer to the Installation Instructions.


Introduction
Overview
The DL-870 Serial Digital Legalizer with Proc Amp is used for the modification of SD, HD,
and optional 3G SDI signals to conform to multiple color space limits. The DL-870 accepts
SMPTE ST0292, ST0259 Level C, ST0296, ST0274, ST0372, and ST0424 formats, and
outputs in the same format as the input (SDI legalized to RGB, Encoded, SD, HD, and XYZ
color space). It monitors, recalculates, and inserts the CRC/EDH values, and it monitors and
displays input EQ. All ancillary data either passes through the DL-870 without alteration
(default) or is blanked (except CRC and payload ID). The DL-870 also has a selectable Gamut
Monitoring Output that indicates the corrected errors of the signal.

LEGALIZE A
EBU-R.103
Detector
The EBU-R103 detector uses all of the enabled gamut(s) and clip values to determine the
threshold.
Enabling the EBU-R.103 detector activates the currently enabled legalizer function(s) (all
gamuts’ ENC, RGB, SD, HD and XYZ), measures the gamut errors, and determines if the
threshold limit has been exceeded frame by frame. Clips are only applied to the frames that
exceed the gamut threshold limit.
Enabling the Failover Mode keeps the currently enabled legalizer function(s) (all gamut’s)
active (all frames) once an error condition is detected when the EBU-R.103 detector is
enabled.
Threshold selection has an adjustment range between 1 and 10%. This threshold is used
to determine the % of the active picture that is over the clip levels enabled and if the
enabled clips will be applied to the video signal.
To reset the EBU-R.103 detector, toggle the RGB button or RGB enable in the RGB
legalization menu.
The parameters for the EBU-R.103 detector menu selection are described in Table 3-6 on
page 29.
Note: The EBU-R.103 detector uses all of the enabled gamut(s) and clip values to determine
the threshold. To enable the EBU-R.103 specification requirement for RGB, only enable the
RGB legalizer and set the upper limit to 705 mV and the lower limit to -5 mV and the
threshold to 1%.

Chapter 3
Operation
The NTSC Setup Level is used to determine whether the signal is processed with or without
setup. The two NTSC Setup selections are 0 IRE and 7.5 IRE.
Luma Black Clip and Luma White Clip apply the clip to the Y component of the video
signal.
Composite Clip has two adjustments: composite upper and composite lower. These limits
are used to apply a clip level to the upper or lower peak Chroma excursions.
Chroma Amplitude sets a clip level for the total Chroma packet amplitude. The Chroma
setting applies an equal clip to the upper and lower extremes to keep the packet size
limited. This feature limits the saturation of the color.
The Encoded NTSC Legalization parameters are described in Table 3-6 on page 29.
PAL Legalization
The PAL Legalization menu sets the parameters to control PAL Legalization. PAL displays settings as
mV.
Luma Black Clip and Luma White Clip apply the clip to the Y component of the video
signal.
Composite Clip has two adjustments: composite upper and composite lower. These limits
are used to apply a clip level to the upper or lower peak Chroma excursions.
Chroma Amplitude sets a clip level for the total chroma packet amplitude. The Chroma
setting applies an equal clip to the upper and lower extremes to keep the packet size
limited. This feature limits the saturation of the color.
The Encoded PAL Legalization parameters are described in Table 3-6 on page 29.
Softness
Softness adds rounding to the scaled CB and CR components.
The Encoded Clip Softness menu parameters represent the range of rounding applied to
the CB and CR components.
A softness of zero percent represents no rounding, and a softness of 40 percent represents
a maximum rounding factor of 40 percent.
The Encoded Clip Softness control parameters are described in Table 3-6 on page 29.
Vector Clip
Vector Clip sets a special encoded clip that affects only the CB and CR components of the
input video signal. The Vector Clip parameter represents the range of the CB and CR input
that is modified. A Vector Clip parameter of 0% represents CB and CR clipped at 0
saturation (completely clips the Chroma component). A Vector Clip of 100% represents CB
and CR clipped at normal saturation. A Vector Clip of 200% represents CB and CR clipped
at twice the normal saturation (no clipping).
The Encoded Vector Clip control parameters are described in Table 3-6 on page 29.

Proc Amp Menu
The Proc Amp menu controls are Proc Amp Enable, Video Gain, Luma Gain, Chroma Gain,
Pedestal, Hue, and Shift Composite.
Proc Amp
Enable
The Proc Amp menu enables the Proc Amp feature.
Video Gain
The Video Gain menu uniformly adjusts both the luminance and Chroma of the input
signal.
Luma Gain
The Luma Gain adjusts the luminance without affecting the Chroma. The maximum achievable
luminance gain is 225% by adjusting both video and Luma Gain to 150%.
Chroma Gain
Pedestal
The Chroma Gain menu adjusts the chroma without affecting the luminance. The maximum
achievable chroma gain is 225% by adjusting both Video and Chroma Gain to 150%.
The Pedestal menu applies an offset to the luminance black, while automatically adjusting the
luminance gain to keep a nominally full-scale (white) luminance signal unchanged. This allows
the black and white levels to be adjusted independently using Pedestal and Luma Gain.
DL-870
Installation and Operation Manual
Hue
Shift
Composite
The Hue shift menu is continuously variable through 360°. The hue of all incoming Chroma
is uniformly changed, so the points displayed on a vector display move in a circle. Moving
any given point around a circular path on a component vector display requires a different
computation than moving the same point in a circular path on a composite vector. Shift
Composite determines whether adjusting Hue Shift will cause circular motion in component
or composite vector displays and color space.
The Shift Composite menu produces a constant magnitude rotation for either the
component or composite vector display. When set to ON, the DL-870 is composite. When
set to OFF, the DL-870 is component.

Gamut Monitor Output
The Gamut monitoring output indicates the areas of the picture with Gamut errors that
have been corrected.
There are three selections in the gamut Monitoring output menu:

Video to display selects the input video to be output.

Color Scheme provides a selection for two methods of displaying the gamut errors:

Grayscale (White, Grey and Black)

Color (Red, Green and Blue)
White or red indicates the High Gamut errors, while Black or blue indicates the lower
gamut errors. Grey or Green indicates compliant video with no gamut errors detected.
When a pixel contains a high and low gamut error, only a high gamut error is displayed.
The gamut monitoring output uses all the enabled legalization color spaces that are
selected to display the error information.

Opacity determines the density of the overlay of gamut errors on the output.

Unit Configuration
The unit configuration menu is used for setting Alarms, Time code, IP addresses, Presets,
GPIO, and reset options, and to do feature upgrades and set front panel button Tally levels,
system time, logs, and Bypass configurations.
DL-870
Installation and Operation Manual
Alarm
The Alarm menu provides enables for all of the alarms. These are separated into Channel A,
Channel B, Power supplies, and Time code alarms. Each alarm has an enable. Some have
duration selections. Reporting features, front panel gamut alarms, logging, and GPOs must
have the alarm enabled to activate the functionality.
Time Code
Time Code source selection is for choosing the LTC time for the unit’s reference for logging.
IP
IP menus are used to select DHCP (enabled by default), or manually enter an address for IP,
Subnet Mask and Gateway.
Preset
Preset menus provide the capability to store and recall of presets. The DL-870 contains
twenty presets that can be used to store and recall clip settings. All information except IP
configuration and Bypass Mode are retained in presets. If a preset location contains previous
clip information, it will be overwritten and any previous clip settings will be erased, when
new clip settings are stored.
The Preset menu can also be used to rename the preset by selecting RENAME. Preset names
are 10 characters long.
Preset labels have the preset number first followed by the preset name. For example, 01
Preset 01 may be changed to 01 RGB clip. This menu lists presets 1 through 20 to select the
preset to change the name and will do this even after the name is changed. On all other
selections of the preset, the name will display the new name.
Note: Information must be stored in a preset location before being recalled. A cold start
will reset all presets to the default values.
GPIO
RESET Option
Feature
Upgrade
Front Panel
The GPIO menu provides for setting the functionality of the two GPOs and the two GPIs.
Each GPO or GPI is set separately and can be used to send alarms to a remote monitoring
device or provide controls via a GPI control panel.
The RESET option menu sets the Ethernet action on a cold start. Keep Ethernet setting is
the default setting. For best results, do not change this item. When set to Keep, the cold
start procedure will not delete the Ethernet addressing.
Feature upgrade Is used to input the license upgrade password to enable functionality in
the field. The DL-870-2CH-F option can be enabled this way.
The Front panel menu provides adjustments for the front panel button Tally levels and the
Front Panel Lock feature. The High Tally and Low Tally have individual selections and can be
modified using this menu.
The Front Panel Lock default setting is OFF. The front panel can be turned to On, Off, or
Auto. In the Auto mode the front panel locks automatically after 30 seconds of front panel
inactivity. Press and hold the lock button to lock or unlock the front panel. When the button
is high tally the front panel is locked. The front panel lock DOES NOT limit access by the
GPIs or Ethernet; therefore, any remote changes to the DL-870 will affect the unit.

Chapter 3
Operation
Note: The web RCU reflects the unit status and displays the current lock condition and
functionality.
System Time
Bypass
The System Time menu manually enters a system time for the DL-870. This is used for
logging alarms.
The Bypass Mode menu item controls the functionality of the BYPASS button. Bypass mode
can be set to RELAY or ELECTRONIC for input A or B. Relay switches the input signal to the
Primary Output and turns off all the processing features in the DL-870, but does not
maintain a throughput delay. Electronic bypass disables all legalization while maintaining
a throughput delay to all outputs.

NTSC/PAL detection selects the Encoded Format used to determine which legalization
parameter ranges are to be used. In Autoselect mode, the format used is determined based
upon the input signal source. Setting the NTSC detection mode to NTSC or PAL forces the
parameters to be either NTSC or PAL, which is independent of the input source. See Table

Alarm Mask Selection
The Alarm Mask Selection determines the Aperture settings that mask all or a portion of the
input video signal. SMPTE Recommended Practice RP 187-1995 defines and explains
Aperture settings. The selections are:

OFF - No Alarm Mask is enabled

CLEAN APERTURE - Alarm Mask extends over the entire signal.

CUSTOM APERTURE - Select to customize the alarm mask area.
Clean Aperture Settings
The Clean Aperture dimensions inside the picture area define the aspect ratio for that
standard. If CLEAN APERTURE is selected in the "Alarm Mask Selection" field, the
Horizontal Pixels and Vertical Lines do not need to be entered into the Horizontal Pixels and
Vertical Lines fields. The Pixel and Line selections are dependent upon the format 
(2K 2016/1062 1080i - 1888/1062 or 720p 1248/702).
Custom Aperture Settings
If CUSTOM APERTURE is selected in the "Alarm Mask Selection" field, the Horizontal Pixels
and Vertical Lines must be entered into the Horizontal Pixels and Vertical Lines fields. The
Pixel and Line selections is dependent upon the format (2K, 1080, and 720p) being used.
GPI Setup
The GPI Setup screen controls the two GPI inputs and two GPI outputs. The GPI Output
setup associates a list of GPO functions that activate the output. Each individual GPI Recall
Preset field determine which preset each GPI will recall. When all the selections are made,
click the Apply changes button in the Actions section. The GPI Alarm Setup screen is
illustrated in Figure 3-18.

Detailed SNMP Trap Configuration
Adding a New Trap Target
This section details how to configure traps without using Trapset. The SNMP client must
have administrator privileges to create, delete, or change trap target characteristics. Entries
must be created in two tables to set up a new trap target address:
1
Create a new row in the snmpTargetAddrTable by sending a createAndWait command (5) to
a new instance (index) of snmpTargetAddrRowStatus (1.3.6.1.6.3.12.1.2.1.9).
2
Fill in the following fields in table snmpTargetAddrTable (1.3.6.1.6.3.12.1.2):
3

snmpTargetAddrTDomain (1.3.6.1.6.3.12.1.2.1.2.index) is set to snmpUDPDomain or
1.3.6.1.6.1.1

snmpTargetAddrTAddress (1.3.6.1.6.3.12.1.2.1.3.index) is target IP address (including
port, normally 00)

snmpTargetAddrTimeout (1.3.6.1.6.3.12.1.2.1.4.index) is set to 1500

snmpTargetAddrRetryCount (1.3.6.1.6.3.12.1.2.1.5.index ) is set to 3

snmpTargetAddrTagList (1.3.6.1.6.3.12.1.2.1.6.index) is set to "dl870Trap"

snmpTargetAddrParams (1.3.6.1.6.3.12.1.2.1.7.index) is set to
"v1Dl870SystemParams" or "v2cDl870SystemParams"

snmpTargetAddrStorageType (1.3.6.1.6.3.12.1.2.1.8.index) is set to nonVolatile or 3

snmpTargetAddrRowStatus (1.3.6.1.6.3.12.1.2.1.9.index) is set to active or 1
Set versionSavePersistentData.0 (1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.100.13.0) to a 1 to save the target
address entry.
versionSavePersistentData is a one-shot in that it returns to 0 as soon as the save is
completed. This is located in UCD-SNMP-MIB.my. If this step is not performed, the target
address changes will not be retained between power cycles.
Changing an Existing Trap Target
1
Set the desired field at the desired index in the above tables.
The change will overwrite the existing value at the specified index.
2
Set versionSavePersistentData.0 (1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.100.13.0) to a 1 to save the target
address entry.
versionSavePersistentData is a one-shot in that it returns to 0 as soon as the save is
completed. This is located in UCD-SNMP-MIB.my. If this step is not performed, the target
address changes will not be retained between power cycles.
Disabling Trap Targets
1
snmpTargetAddrRowStatus (1.3.6.1.6.3.12.1.2.1.9.index) - set to notInService or 2. To
reactivate, change back to active or 1.
2
Set versionSavePersistentData.0 (1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.100.13.0) to a 1 to save the target
address entry.
versionSavePersistentData is a one-shot in that it returns to 0 as soon as the save is
completed. This is located in UCD-SNMP-MIB.my. If this step is not performed, the target
address changes will not be retained between power cycles.
Deleting Trap Targets
1
snmpTargetAddrRowStatus (1.3.6.1.6.3.12.1.2.1.9.index) - set to destroy or 6.
The instance will be permanently removed from both the snmpTargetAddrRowStatus.

DL-870 Alarm Status Table
This table implements a circular read-only buffer of 1000 alarms generated by the device.
An NMS can use this table to collect alarms that may have not been received as traps. It is
the responsibility of the NMS to keep track of already collected alarms. This generally
requires collecting the entire alarm table and ignoring entries that previously collected or
received as traps. The astSequence column is useful for determining whether a row has
already been collected or received since it is unique to each alarm instance. This table can
be ignored if alarms will be handled only as traps.
NOTE: The DL-870 does not use Reported Peak Value related fields. These fields are only
supplied to maintain a consistent format across certain Harris products.
An alarm consists of the following columns:

Trap and Notifications
In addition to the alarm status table, the agent also supports SNMPv1 traps. This can be
configured as defined in RFC1157 (Traps) using "Dl870Trap" for snmpTargetAddrTagList
and "v2cDl870SystemParams" for snmpTargetAddrParams
Alarm Status Table Management
An OID is available to assist in the management of the Alarm Status Table, astAlarmIDStart.
Since the Alarm Status Table is a circular queue, it is possible that Alarm IDs can wrap
around when the table has completely filled, placing newer alarms at the top of the table,
When reading alarm status starting from row 0 under this scenario, more recent alarms will
be read before older alarms. To assist in the location of the oldest alarms (at the "head" of
the circular queue), astAlarmIDStart will always contain the ID of the oldest alarm.

Encoded Clip Softness: In the encoded legalization process, "softness," as applied to
encoded clips, refers to the processing of the video at the point of the clip. The clips are
applied in YCbCr color space. The clip point is either an immediate limit (no softness) or has
a range of values leading to the clip point, all reduced to smooth the clip point to a less
immediate limit (softness).
Encoded Legalization: Limiting of the luminance and color difference signals such that,
once encoded into a composite video signal, the resultant encoded video does not violate
the maximum or minimum signal levels as defined by the specific encoding rules. NTSC and
PAL video, plus various users of these types of video, have many varied rules for maximum
and minimum encoding limits. Encoded legalization usually calculates first the encoded
luminance value and then the corresponding chroma value to make legalization judgments.
Encoded Video: A combined single video signal that is constructed from either separate
RGB or luminance and two color difference video signals. NTSC, PAL, and SECAM are all
examples of encoded video.
Envelope Detection: An RF signal detection technique that does not respond to phase
variations in the carrier signal, enabling measurement of a transmitter's incidental phase.
When used together with synchronous detection, envelope detection helps isolate either
video and/or RF as the causes of phase distortion.

preview bus. Usually used in major scene transitions.
Fade-to-Black: A production technique that simply fades the program video to black and
the program audio to silent. Used to end programs and to escape from embarrassing
pictures or sounds.
Field: A picture or picture portion produced within one cycle of vertical synchronization. In
interlaced systems, a full picture or frame requires two consecutive fields.
FM Trap: A circuit designed to minimize potential interference from strong FM signals in
receiving equipment, such as a TV demodulator. For example, an FM trap can attenuate
signals between 88-108 MHz to reduce interference on NTSC television channel 6.
Frame: A single full resolution picture as viewed in either a video or a film system. In the
case of interlaced video, two consecutive fields provide all of the information of one frame.
In non-interlaced systems, one cycle of vertical synchronization produces a frame. A 60 Hz
interlaced system, produces 30 frames of video in one second. A 60 Hz progressive (or
non-interlaced) system produces 60 frames of video in one second. Common frame rates
are 24 (film) 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94 and 60.
Frame Synchronizer: An electronic device that synchronizes two or more video signals.
Using one input as a reference, it locks a second signal to the reference.
Frame Store: An electronic method of capturing and storing a single frame of video.
Gamma: This term applies to the linearity of the change from black to white. Gamma
controls adjust the gray or 50% point of the video either up or down, with the effect of
changing the gray level of the video.

and replaced with another video.
Key Cut: In a key effect, this is the video that designates the portion of background video,
which is removed.
Key Fill: In a key effect, this video replaces the removed portion of background video. This
may be the same video as the Key Cut video.
Key Invert: In a key effect, this electronic action reverses the polarity of the key cut signal.
It makes black appear as white, and white appear as black.
Key Mask: In a key effect, the key mask uses a wipe pattern from the wipe pattern
generator to restrict the key cut from removing video in a portion of the screen. This action
requires the use of both the wipe pattern generator and the Mask/Preset Size controls.
Key Source: Same as key cut.
Legalization: The modification of serial digital video to conform to analog color space
rules, as required by users.
