Precautions
Important Safety Warnings
[Power]
Stop
Do not place or drop heavy or sharp-edged objects on the power cord. A damaged cord can cause fire or electrical shock hazards. Regularly check the power cord for excessive wear or damage to avoid possible fire / electrical hazards.
[Circuitry Access]
Stop
Do not touch any parts / circuitry with a high heat factor. Capacitors can retain enough electric charge to cause mild to serious shock, even after the power has been disconnected. Capacitors associated with the power supply are especially hazardous.
Hazard
Unit should not be operated or stored with cover, panels, and / or casing removed. Operating the unit with circuitry exposed could result in electric shock / fire hazards or a unit malfunction.
[Potential Hazards]
Caution
If abnormal odors or noises are noticed coming from the unit, immediately turn the power off and disconnect the power cord to avoid potentially hazardous conditions. If problems similar to the above occur, contact an authorized service representative before attempting to operate the unit again.
[Consumables]
Caution
Consumable items that are used in the unit must be periodically replaced. For further details on which parts are consumables and when they should be replaced, refer to the specifications at the end of the Operation Manual. Since the service life of the consumables varies greatly depending on the environment in which they are used, such items should be replaced at an early date. For details on replacing consumable items, contact your dealer.

SNMP monitoring
All ancillary data pass through
<Functions/items to be supported in the future>
50Hz family format
Color corrector, process amp., HDR/ WCG conversion function
Remote control by FA-10RU
1-2. Overview
The USF-106TICO-12G module is a codec able to compress/decompress between 4K UHD video
signals. Either encode mode or decode mode is selected at factory shipment. If
USF-TICO-ENCDEC is installed, encoding and decoding can be switched by a user using a menu.
With 4:1 or 8:1 visually lossless compression technology, TICO assures visual quality despite
repeated compression / decompression and small delay (within several tens of lines) in video
processing.
The USF-106TICO-12G module contains a down-converter (4K UHD to 1080i or 1080p) that
enables to simultaneously output de-compressed 4K video and down-converted HD video. When
encoding 4K input, the module simultaneously outputs TICO compressed signals and
down-converted HD signals.
Color corrector (supporting HDR/WCG) (*1) and frame synchronizer (with audio processor) are also
supplied as standard. Up-converter can be added as an option. (USF-TICO-UC option)
The USF-106TICO-12G module contributes reducing the video signal bandwidth and space-saving
on both input and output side systems.
(*1) To be supported in the future.
7
1-3. Features
TICO codec technology enables to transmit 4K/59.94p, 50p video signal over single 3G-SDI
link.
4 ports of 3G-SDI for both input/output are equipped. Available as input/output port of Quad
Link 3G-SDI or 4 inputs and 4 distribution ports of HD/3G-SDI signal.
12G-SDI one-input and two-output ports. 4K signal transmitted via one cable
Supports both 2SI and SQD and Level A and B for 4K 3G-SDI Quad (Additional delay required
for SQD)
Down-conversion function as standard
Outputs HD video from input 4K or decoded 4K video.
Frame Synchronizer function
Able to encode to TICO after stabilizing input signal and supply stable TICO signals (3G-SDI
or 1.5G-SDI) to downstream devices.
Able to supply synchronous 4K signals by decoding TICO signals after FS process.
Audio processing function
Audio delay can be automatically/manually added to compensate the delay difference
between audio and video processing. Gain adjustment, remap, downmix and tone signal
generation are also available.
Color processor function supporting HDR/WCG
In HD-4K up/ down conversion, converting 4K wide color gamut and high dynamic video to
former HD video is available. (To be supported in the future)
Dedicated GUI software control, Web browser control (some functions only), SNMP
monitoring

3-1. Basic Configuration
Two USF-106TICO-12G module cards are installed on a USF-212AS frame in this example and the
left card is used as an encoder and the right card as a decoder.
Set input or output for four upper BNC ports. (Default: Input) See Sec. 3-2. “Video Input and Output”
for details.
The USF frame, a control PC (user-supplied) and the FA-10RU (optional remote control unit) are
connected via LAN.

8-3. Trap
8-3-1. SNMP Trap Settings
Allows you to select SNMP trap settings. If checked (), a trap is sent out to SNMP Manager
and not sent if un-checked. See the Trap list in Sec.9. “SNMP Functions” for details on traps.
IMPORTANT
When FPGA2 temperature exceeds 100°C and FPGA2 power shutdown occurs, FPGA2 Thermal Shutdown trap is sent out and traps listed as below are not sent out.
Temperature Alarm
FPGA2 TEMP Warning trap is sent out at 60 seconds intervals when FPGA2 temperature
exceeds 90°C.
SDI1 Input
A trap is sent out if there is a change in SDI1 input video signal.
SDI2a-SDI2d Input
A trap is sent out if there is a change in SDI2a-SDI2d input video signal.
Channel ID Input
A trap is sent out if there is a change of channel ID numbers inserted in the 3G-SDI Quad
Link 2SI (SDI2a-SDI2d) input.
Genlock Input
A trap is sent out if there is a change in genlock input.
TICO Decoder Status
A trap is sent out if there is a change in TICO Decoder status.
TICO Encoder Status
A trap is sent out if there is a change in TICO Encoder status.
Audio Input
A trap is sent out if there is a change in audio inserted in SDI input signal.

9. SNMP Functions
The USF-106TICO-12G operations can be monitored by an external SNMP monitoring system
supporting SNMPv2C. The MIB (Management Information Base) files used by SNMP monitoring system
can be downloaded via the Web GUI. See Sec. 8-3-2. “Downloading MIB File” for MIB downloading
procedures. See the USF frame Operation Manual for SNMP settings.
