1. APPLICATION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The Trilogy Mentor XL Synchronising Pulse Generator is one of the most flexible units available on

the market today. It is suitable for any digital or mixed format environment where a high quality

digital SPG is required. The part suffix xx denotes minor variations and updates which fall within the

scope of this document.

•5 analogue outputs

•3 SD-SDI black outputs with 4 channels of embedded AES silence and EDH

•2 AES-3 silence outputs

•10 MHz / 27 MHz/Word Clock output

•Each output individually timed

•Each output selectable to either 525 or 625 operation

•10 MHz reference input

•Looping Genlock input

All SDI and Analogue black/burst outputs offer full control over timing and are individually selectable

for 525 / 625 standard operation.

Mentor XL is fitted, as standard, with an oven-controlled reference oscillator allowing the unit to be

used either as station master, or as a slave.

The main black/burst generator provides 5 independently timed outputs, giving total timing freedom

with adjustment of ±4 fields (±2 fields 525) relative to the main timing plane in 0.5 ns steps.

Additional software features are available to add HD-SDI capability, test patterns (for Analogue

and/or digital outputs), audio test signals, full field test patterns, LTC, VITC, D-VITC, ATC, NTP and

SNMP. Optional hardware options are available to add a GPS module for high stability time and

oscillator referencing, an HD tri-level sync option module and SDI option modules providing

additional SD, HD and 3G SDI outputs.

In addition, an internal redundant power supply is available to increase MTBF, or to allow AC power

diversity in critical applications.

An Ethernet port is provided for the Vector management feature, to facilitate software upgrades and

time synchronisation by means of NTP (Network Time Protocol).

This Instruction Manual concentrates on the operational aspects of the unit and includes a full

technical specification.

1.2 VECTOR FOR MENTOR XL

A web browser based configuration tool is provided, offering:

•Online editing of Mentor XL configurations

•Partial or incremental updates without causing disruption (where possible)

•The ability to copy, backup and restore configuration data.

Please see Section 3.10 of this manual for information on getting started with Vector.

1.3 AVAILABLE FEATURES AND OPTIONS

Three option card slots are available. The Mentor XL auto detects which type of option card is fitted

and presents the user with appropriate menu options.

1.5 WARRANTY

Conditions of the warranty may vary according to your terms of purchase. Please consult your sales

documentation or if in doubt, contact your original supplier or Trilogy, quoting date of purchase and

unit serial number.

1.6 COMMON CONFIGURATIONS

To cater for different system design philosophies and installations of varying complexity, we have

tried to make the Mentor XL as flexible as possible. Some common system modes and configurations

are described in section 16 on page 76.

Mentor XL

2. INSTALLATION

2.1 UNPACKING

Carefully unpack the unit from its transit material and check the unit for signs of damage. Check the

contents of the box against our despatch note and your original order to ensure that you have

received the correct parts.

In the event that the unit has been damaged or does not match your order, immediately contact

your supplier or Trilogy at the address given at the front of this guide.

2.2 RACK MOUNTING

The 1U rack frame has integral 19" mounting ears for direct mounting in a standard 19" rack.

Carefully place the unit in your rack and firmly attach it to the rack using 4 bolts.

IMPORTANT: This unit has air intakes on one side of the unit and fan assisted exhaust vents on the

other side of the unit. Ensure that these have an unobstructed air flow, otherwise the unit will

overheat. Pay particular attention to ensure that any rack wiring or cable trays do not obstruct the

vent. 60mm of clear space should be allowed between the vents and any potential obstruction.

2.3 EARTHING REQUIREMENTS

The unit is provided with a single 4mm earthing stud on the rear panel. Incoming mains earth from

the IEC connector is internally bonded to both the chassis and technical 0V to meet safety

requirements and performance specifications. The stud allows the addition of an earth strap, if

required, in rack installations.

2.4 MAINS CONNECTION AND FUSING

Important

Power Supply Cord Used as Disconnect Means

CAUTION: THE POWER SUPPLY CORD IS USED AS THE MAIN DISCONNECT DEVICE. ENSURE THAT

THE SOCKET-OUTLET IS LOCATED / INSTALLED NEAR THE EQUIPMENT AND IS EASILY ACCESSIBLE.

ATTENTION: LE CORDON D’ALIMENTATION EST UTILISÉ COMME INTERRUPTEUR GÉNÉRAL. LA

PRISE DE COURANT DOIT ÊTRE SITUÉE OU INSTALLÉE À PROXIMITÉ DE L’ÉQUIPMENT ET ÊTRE

FACILE D’ACCÉS.

The power supplies within the unit are a switched mode design and will cope automatically with a

wide input voltage range (see specification, section 17.3)

The standard Mentor XL is fitted with a single mains power supply unit (PSU), with an option to fit a

second PSU. Each PSU has its own, dedicated, IEC mains plug on the rear of the Mentor XL. These

should be wired according to the instructions provided with a mating mains socket using suitable

cable. See above for earthing requirements.

Mains cable conductors are to be three-core (two-wire with ground), wire gauge 18 AWG (cross

sectional area 0.75mm²) Jacket to be type SJT.

Covers are only to be removed by trained personnel. Shock hazard exists with covers removed;

therefore disconnect mains supply before removal. Interconnection between circuit boards and

panels are all safety extra low voltage (SELV) as defined by IEC/EN/CSA/UL 60950-1-200X. The

equipment signal connections must only be connected to SELV circuits to prevent hazards from

improper connection.
