The 7730ADC line of component analog video to serial digital converters are broadcast quality A to Ds with an extensive list of additional features. High quality analog to digital conversion of audio inputs can be packaged with the video to create a A to D frame synchronizer with audio embedder. In addition, Evertz fault monitoring processing will analyze and report video and audio problems via an On-Screen-Display, or remotely via VistaLINK® SNMP.
The 7730ADC (1 slot module) and 7730ADC-A4 (2 slot module) can be housed in the 1RU 7801FR frame which holds up to four single or two 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.
Features
A to D process
- 10 bit, 54MHz sampling of input video
- Internal processing to maintain 10-bit digital video quality
- Y, Pb, Pr or G, B, R input support

Features of all 7730ADCs are:
- Three input BNCs for YPbPr or RGB input
- One sync input BNC for separate sync

- One combination output that can either be an extra SDI output or composite analog video output
- When configured as a composite analog output it can either be a clean output (no OSD) or have the OSD text and bar graph graphics for monitoring
- EDH encoding on SDI output
- One combination input BNC that can either be an LTC input or a composite analog reference input (NTSC or PAL-B)
- 75Ω or Hi-Z, jumper configurable input impedance
- One frame video synchronizer (with +S option)
- Infinitely variable output phase (27MHz clock increments)
- Freeze modes: black, freeze, pass
- Menu adjustable free running frequency
- VU/PPM bar graph level Indicators
- Decodes vertical interval time code (VITC) and "burns" the time code into the OSD Monitoring output
- A comprehensive on-screen display is available to configure the various features of the module
- Flexible configuration of the text and audio bar graph information displays
- An extensive list of error conditions can be monitored and fault conditions can be configured from these conditions
- On-screen messages can be triggered by the configured fault conditions
- Fault conditions are reported via VistaLINK® SNMP
- VistaLINK® capable for remote monitoring via SNMP (using VistaLINK® PRO) when installed in 7800FR frame with a 7800FC VistaLINK® Frame Controller
Features of -A4 option are:
- Four balanced analog audio inputs on two removable barrier strips
- High impedance inputs (user supplies termination resistors for other impedances)
- Analog audio input levels are adjustable
- Jumpers set coarse input levels, fine input levels are set by software control
- Audio delay equivalent video delay (with +S option)
- Additional audio delay of up to five seconds
- Audio advance of up to one frame less three microseconds
- One group (four channels of audio) is multiplexed on the outgoing digital video
- Two unbalanced AES audio outputs delayed equivalently to the video delay
- 75Ω coaxial (unbalanced) DARS reference input on BNC
- Loss of video modes: pass audio, mute audio
