7710XC-HD & 7710XC-AES4-HD

HD Cross Converter with VANC and Embedded Audio Support

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 accepts 2 groups of SMPTE 299M embedded audio on the input or external 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. The audio is also available as 4 unbalanced AES outputs.

The units also transports the closed caption and time code information from input to output performing all necessary HD to HD translations and time code recalculations.

All 7710XC-HD series modules occupy 2 card slots and can be housed in the 1RU 7701FR frame which holds up to three single or dual slot modules, the 3RU 7800FR 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.

Features

  • High quality HD to HD cross conversion
  • Support all necessary color space conversions
  • Full video proc functions, GBR gain YCrCb gain and offset, hue adjustment and RGB color limiter
  • Reference input allows for phasing of output video
  • Module supports min. delay or variable delay for video output without reference
  • Module supports video output referenced to genlock with variable delay
  • Output on-screen display used to configure the operating modes
  • De-embeds Audio from HD video input and embeds into HD video output (2 groups)
  • Supports re-timed external 4 AES inputs and outputs (7710XC-AES4-HD only)
  • Moves RP-188 VITC and LTC from HD input to HD output, recalculated for frame rate changes
  • Moves HD closed captions from HD input to HD output
  • VistaLINK® capable for remote monitoring, control and configuration capabilities via SNMP; using VistaLINK® PRO, 9000NCP or 9000NCP2 Network Control Panel. 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
