MIO-ACO2-3G

Dual 3G/HD/SD-SDI Smart Automatic Changeover

Interact with this product in a Layout Tool:

MIO-ACO2-3G is a dual-path smart automatic changeover (ACO) for 3G/HD/SD-SDI video signals.

This device provides:

  • Dual independent ACO processing paths on a single dual-slot MIO module
  • Smart 3G/HD/SD automatic protection switching on both paths based on video/audio stats
  • Built-in Trouble Slide per ACO
  • Optional IntelliGain™ audio loudness processing with dynamic range control
  • MAGNUM-OS/-NMS and WebGUI monitoring and control through the SCORPION platform

Each ACO path accepts one local program input and one backup input. The module automatically monitors the selected sources and switches to the backup on user-defined loss of signal, freeze or black selection.

Features

  • Supports 3GB/s (SMPTE ST 424/292/274/296), HD and SD-SDI video
  • Two independent ACO paths
  • Local SDI input plus backup input per ACO
  • Protected SDI output plus crosspoint output per ACO
  • Programmable automatic switching based on signal health
  • Integrated SoftSwitch for clean video and popless embedded audio switching
  • Audio/video monitoring including loss, freeze and black detection
  • Built-in Trouble Slide per ACO
  • MAGNUM-OS/-NMS and WebGUI control through the SCORPION platform
  • Genlock/reference timing supplied through the SCORPION chassis
  • Optional IntelliGain™ audio loudness and dynamic-range processing
