7710XC-HD, 7710XC-AES4-HD, 7710XUC-AES4-HD & 7710XUDC-AES4-HD
HD Up, Down & Cross Converter
The 7710XC series of products is designed to solve the problems of adapting to different HDTV formats, at the same time as offering UP and DOWN conversion. Four versions are available (See 7710XC Versions chart below)
The 7710XC-HD High Definition Format Translator/Cross Converter provides high quality conversion of your high definition (SMPTE 292M) signals to other common 1.5Gb/s high definition (SMPTE 292M) video formats. The 7710XC-HD has 10-bit processing, and 2 HD Serial Digital outputs and 1 OSD output, plus external genlock. The 7710XC-AES4-HD High Definition Format Translator/Cross Converter with external AES provides high quality conversion of you high definition (SMPTE 292M) signals to other common 1.5Gb/s high definition (SMPTE 292M) video formats.
The 7710XUC-AES4-HD High Definition Format Up/Cross Converter is reconfigurable to provide high quality conversion of your standard definition signals with noise reduction to common 1.5Gb/s high definition (SMPTE 292M) video formats, high quality conversion of your high definition (SMPTE 292M) signals to other common 1.5Gb/s high definition (SMPTE 292M) video formats, or high definition (SMPTE 292M) to standard definition (SMPTE 296M) down-conversion with detail enhancement and gamma correction. The 7710XUC-HD has 10-bit processing, and 2 HD serial Digital outputs and 1 OSD output, plus external genlock.
The 7710XUDC-AES4-HD High Definition Format Up/Down/Cross Converter is similar to the 7710XUC-HD but provides simultaneous cross-conversion and down-conversion. It has 2 SD Serial Digital outputs and 2 composite analog video outputs.
The units accept 2 groups of SMPTE 299M embedded audio on the input or optionally external (separate) 4 AES audio and re-embeds them into the serial video output and provides 4 AES audio output mirroring the embedder. The re-embedded audio is compliant to SMPTE 299M, with delay adjust and has the appropriate delay added to compensate for video delay incurred by the conversion process, thus avoiding the need for external de-embedding and re-embedding of audio. The audio is also available as 4 unbalanced AES outputs.
The units also transport the closed caption and time code information from input to output performing all necessary HD to SD and SD to HD translation and time code recalculations
All 7710XC-HD Series modules occupy two card slots in the 3RU frame, except for the 7710XUDC-AES4-HD which occupies three slots. The two-slot 7710XC-HD Series modules can be housed in the 1RU 7701FR frame which holds up to three single or dual slot modules, the 3RU 7700FR-C frame which has a 15 slot capacity, or the portable 3RU 350FR frame which has a 7 slot capacity. The 7710XUDC-AES4-HD can be housed in the 3RU 7700FR-C frame which has a 15 slot capacity, or the portable 3RU 350FR frame which has a 7 slot capacity. The units also provide card edge LEDs to indicate signal present, genlock present and audio groups present.
