Product Manual
The 7730DAC line of serial digital video to component analog converters are broadcast quality D to As with an extensive list of additional features. High quality digital to analog conversion of audio can be packaged with the video to create a D to A frame synchronizer with audio demux. In addition, Evertz fault monitoring processing will analyze and report video and audio problems via an On-Screen-Display, or remotely via VistaLINK® SNMP.
Features
- D to A process:
- 12-bit, over sampled video DACs
- SMPTE/EBU N10, Betacam, MII and NTSC specific standards supported
- Y, Pb, Pr or G, B, R output format
- Selectable setup pedestal
- Black level and gain controls of all components
- 300mV separate composite sync output
- The Features of all 7730DACs are:
- SDI 525 or 625, 270MB/s component digital video input
- One 270MB/s re-clocked SDI output
- Four output BNCs for Y, Pb, Pr or G, B, R and composite sync
- One composite analog output on BNC for monitoring and control
- 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 monitoring output picture
- 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
- VistaLINK® capable for remote monitoring via SNMP (using VistaLINK® PRO) when installed in 7800FR frame with a 7800FC VistaLINK® Frame Controller
- The Features of "-A4" option are:
- One group (four channels) of synchronous 20-bit audio is de-multiplexed from the incoming digital video
- Two unbalanced AES audio inputs (up to 48kHz, 24 bits) on BNC
- User selects either the de-embedded audio or the input AES audio
- The selected audio is delayed equivalently to the video delay with the +S option
- Four high quality 24-bit audio channels are output (analog) as balanced on two removable barrier strips
- Low impedance outputs (66Ω)
- Analog audio output levels are adjustable
- Additional audio delay of up to five seconds
- Additional audio advance of up to one frame, depending on video delay
- Loss of video modes: pass audio, mute audio
