The 7725VBI-K-HD module is a multi-function VBI keyer. Every program input vertical interval video line can be programmed to pass upstream video, blank the line, insert any VBI line from the HD/SDI Key Fill input, insert a selectable VITS (vertical interval test signal) for SD, and insert a Wide Screen Signaling (WSS) and Active Format Description (AFD). The 7725VBI-K-HD allows for up to 70 lines to be programmed. The module provides the capability to store different VBI configurations as presets and recall them from the On-Screen Display or via 8 opto-isolated GPI inputs.

The 7725VBI-K-HD has two re-clocked program outputs and one program monitor output. This unit is often used in critical on-air applications and hence bypass relay protection of the program video path is provided. The 7725VBI-K-HD is setup via the On-Screen Display or VistaLINK®.

VistaLINK® enables remote monitoring, control, and configuration capabilities via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This offers the flexibility to manage operations including signal monitoring and module configuration from SNMP enabled control systems (Manager or NMS) locally or remotely.

Features

Applications

Master control output chain protection
Typically there are several units "chained" together on the output of a master control switcher. Units such as caption encoders, AMOL encoders, VITS inserters, data encoders, etc. are typically connected in series so that if one unit fails the network output will fail. The 7725VBI-K-HD allows you to have one point of insertion in the program output path.

VANC Bridging
Some processing devices modify or destroy VBI data such as captioning or VITC. An example of this occurs with some DVE's during a squeeze back application. The 7725VBI-K-HD device will provide a bypass of VBI around the processing device.

VBI Line Shuffler
By providing the same feed to both inputs of the 7725VBI-K-HD the unit will allow the user to modify the VBI and move lines as necessary.
