The Evertz 7700ACO-HD HD/SDI Auto Change Over is designed to provide a HD/SD SDI video, multi channel AES audio and RS-422/RS-232 change over in one device. The unit can be controlled via GPI, remotely via VistaLINK® PRO or set in autochangeover mode. It is an all-in-one ACO package aimed towards protecting a complete channel. (ie. protecting the video, 8 channels of discrete AES and associated control channel (RS-232 or RS-422)). The unit features latching relays that maintain state through loss of power.
Features
- Auto detection of signal standard
- Four modes of operation:
-
- Auto changeover - two standalone auto changeovers
- Manual DIP switch control - two independently controlled 2x1 switchers
- GPI Control - two independently GPI controlled 2x1 switchers
- Tally output provided
- Protection for 8 channels of AES
- Control channels
- Protection on HD (1.5Gb/s) or SD (270Mb/s)
- Changeover conditions are based on signal presence of:
-
- HD/SDI (TRS timing, CRC and EDH)
- DVB-ASI (SMPTE sync word)
- Sync (H timing)
- AES (sync word)
- VistaLINK® capable for remote monitoring, control and configuration capabilities via SNMP. VistaLINK® is available when modules are used with the 3RU 7800FR frame and a 7800FC VistaLINK® Frame Controller module in slot 1 of the frame
