7720ADC-A4 & 7720ADC-A4-B

Quad Analog Audio to Dual AES Converter

VistaLINK® enabled

The 7720ADC-A4 is a high-quality, 24-bit, analog to digital audio converter which provides digital conversion of 4 balanced analog audio channels and provides 2 unbalanced (or balanced from the 7720ADC-A4-B) AES/EBU channels out.

The sampling clock may free run at 48KHz or may be locked to either a DARS (Digital Audio Reference Signal) reference or composite video reference. Level control is provided via a card edge toggle switch. The input gain level can be read out from a card edge display for convenience. The full scale digital signal can be calibrated to accommodate peak levels ranging from 8dBu to 27dBu with 0.5dB resolution.

The audio ADC features a card edge VU meter for quick confidence monitoring. Four separate level indicators are provided via bargraphs for quick validation of audio program material.

Features
  • Auto detect composite video or DARS on the reference input
  • 24-bit, high-quality analog to digital audio conversion
  • Support for 4 channels of analog audio (2 AES/EBU)
  • Local card edge display and control of input gain
  • 0dBFS programmable from 8dBu to 27dBu
  • Automatic DC removal
    • A card edge display provides a 4 channel bargraph type level indicator display for confidence monitoring
    • VistaLINK® capable for remote monitoring via SNMP (using VistaLINK® PRO) when installed in 7800FR frame with a 7700FC VistaLINK® Frame Controller
