7710UC-HD

HD Upconverter

The 7710UC-HD High Definition Upconverter provides high quality conversion of 270Mb/s standard definition (SMPTE 259M-C) signals to the common 1.5Gb/s high definition (SMPTE 292M) video formats. The 7710UC-HD has 10-bit processing, 2 reclocked SDI outputs and 2 HD Serial Digital outputs. The 7710UC-HD outputs 1080i/59.94, 1080i/50 and 720p/59.94 HD video formats.

The 7710UC-HD has color space conversion from ITU rec. 601 to ITU rec. 709. The 7710UC-HD provides user adjustable common 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratio conversion choices; 4:3 with side panels, 16:9 anamorphic stretch, 16:9 letterbox zoom to full size and 14:9 letterbox zoom to full size or 14:9 letterbox zoom to full height 13:9 or 14:9 with side panels.

The Upconverter accepts 2 groups of SMPTE 272M embedded audio on the input and re-embeds them into the HD SMPTE 292M 1.5Gb/s output. The re-embedded audio is compliant to SMPTE 299M and will have appropriate delay added to compensate for video delay incurred by the upconversion 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 7710UC-HD occupies two 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, the portable 3RU 350FR frame which has a 7 slot capacity, or a standalone enclosure which holds a single module. The 7710UC-HD provides card edge LEDs to indicate signal present, genlock present and audio groups present.

Features
