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 settin
g
s and status information.
Remote Control
Capabilities
The remote control options are explained in the rack controller
manual. The method of connection to a computer using Ethernet is
also described in the ERC/ERS/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.
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

NOTE: On power up all LED’s 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 LED’s will light during this
process. After initialisation, several LED’s will remain lit – the exact
number and configuration is dependent 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.

EVS Cortex
Software
EVS Cortex can be used to change the settings of Synapse modules
from a PC, either locally or remotely. The software enables
communication based on TCP/IP between the Setup PC and Synapse
frames/modules.
Each Synapse frame is addressed through its rack controller’s unique
IP address, giving access to each module, its menus and adjustment
items. EVS Cortex has access to data contained within the Synapse
module and displays it on a GUI. The software has an intuitive
structure following that of the module that it is controlling.
For operation of EVS Cortex, please refer to the Cortex help files.
