7700ACO2

Dual SD-SDI Smart Automatic Changeover

VistaLINK® enabled Thumblink™ Enabled Evertz IntelliGain® Enabled

The 7700ACO2 is the industries leading smart automatic changeover (ACO) for standard definition 270Mb/s serial digital video signals.

This device provides:

  • Dual processing paths on a single module
  • Smart SD-SDI automatic protection switching of both paths
  • Video and Audio Proc Amp Control
  • Built in Trouble Slide per ACO
  • Optional IntelliGain® Audio Loudness Processing with Dynamic Audio Range Control

These modules have dual independent processing paths providing both high density and availability of SD-SDI video inputs signals (program and back-up). The 7700ACO2 incorporates Evertz's essential audio and video monitoring which is used to drive the real time automatic switch logic processor.

The 7700ACO2 can optionally be ordered with Evertz's patented IntelliGain® Audio and Loudness Processor. The IntelliGain® audio processing engine provides a full compressor/limiter and loudness calculator that processes long-term trends in the audio content and uses a multi-minute time coefficient, which applies a smooth attack producing the final target loudness output.

Features
  • Video Inputs and Outputs
  • Smart Automatic changeover based on user programmable switch logic
  • Card edge menu control for configuration of operating modes and LEDs for reporting signal presence, router state, module status
  • Bypass relay protection on main program output
  • VistaLINK® capable for remote monitoring, control and configuration capabilities via SNMP; using VistaLINK® PRO, CP-2116E or CP-2232E Control Panels. VistaLINK® is available when modules are used with the 3RU 7800FR frame and a 7700FC VistaLINK® Frame Controller module in slot 1 of the frame
    • IntelliGain® Audio and Loudness Processor
    • Consistent audio loudness levels within a channel and/or program
    • Automatic detection and level adjust for loud commercials
    • Gain control within a program interval to preserve audio dynamic range
    • Artifact-free transitions between program and commercials
    • Elimination of drastic volume changes during commercials and interstitials
