7746FS-EAES8-HD

HD/SD-SDI 8 AES Frame Synchronizer

VistaLINK® enabled Dolby Partner

The 7746FS-EAES8-HD HD Frame Synchronizer is designed to re-time a SMPTE 292M (1080i/60, 1080i/59.94, 1080i/50, 1080p/24sF, 1080p/23.98sF, 720p/60, 720p/59.94, 720p/50, 1035i/59.94, 1035i/60, or 480p/59.94) or SMPTE 259M (625i/50, 525i/59.94 ) input to a local reference tri-level or composite sync signal. When necessary, frames are repeated or dropped to maintain synchronization. During the synchronizing process the video delay varies from 3 lines through to 1 frame plus 3 lines. Additional delay can be added to the synchronizing process in 1 frame increments.

On the 7746FS-EAES8-HD version, the user can choose to have 8 stereo pairs from 4 groups in the upstream embedded audio and from the 8 AES inputs embedded on the output video and output as AES. The module can also pass all VANC data after switching line. When the input video is lost, it will pass the input AES or mute if embedded audio is selected for synchronizing. The frame synchronizers also have the ability to set the audio delay independently from the video delay.

The frame synchronizers have the ability to adjust video parameters such as brightness, contrast and saturation. Hue control is available for SD standards (525i/59.94 and 625i/50). They can also adjust audio parameters such as gain, invert, two-channel mixing, and reassignment of audio channels. The embedder and AES outputs can individually choose between two independent audio mixers.

Features

  • Synchronizes 1080i/60, 1080i/59.94, 1080i/50, 1080p/24sF, 1080p/23.98sF, 720p/60, 720p/59.94, 720p/50, 1035i/59.94, 1035i/60, 480p/59.94, 525i/59.94 or 625i/50
  • Minimum video input to output delay - 3 lines
  • Maximum video input to output delay - 1 frame plus 3 lines
  • 12 additional frames of delay can be added for interlaced video formats, 28 frames for progressive formats.
  • Program Video output bypass relay protected on power loss
  • Programmable output phase with respect to reference input
  • Freeze on last good frame, or field, go to black on loss of video or pass input
  • Synchronizes 4 groups of embedded audio and re-embeds 4 groups
  • Front panel LEDs indicate: module fault, video and embedded group presence, and AES input presense
  • Serial remote data logging
  • Adjustable video black level (brightness), Y level (contrast) and chroma level (saturation)
  • Adjustable hue control for SD video standards
  • Maximum audio input to output delay - equivalent to additional frames of video delay
  • Synchronizes VANC data starting after switch line
  • Synchronizes SMPTE 12M-2 time codes
  • Separate control of video and audio delay
  • Audio Sample Rate Converters can be disabled, or set to automatically detect non-PCM data (ie. Dolby® E) and disable on a per-input basis
    • Independently adjustable audio levels and inversion on all channels
    • Ability to combine any two inputs to any output (including monoaural down-mixes of all input stereo pairs)
    • Provides 2:1 audio mixing capability, ideal for "ducking" audio or voiceovers
    • Can be used at the inputs of an audio console to expand inputs and add mixing capacity
    • Performs voice overs, mix downs and on-air breakaways
    • Reassignment of audio channels
    • Synchronizes eight external AES signals
    • Synchronized audio is output as 8 AES signals
    • AES and embedded outputs can choose from two independent mixers
    • AES outputs bypass relay protected on power loss
    • De-embeds and embeds Dolby E metadata to and from video VANC space
    • Metadata monitoring thru VistaLINK® and modification of dial norm "parameter"
    • 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
