  • Avenue 7550 HD Legalizer

    The 7550 module is an HD Legalizer that supports high definition or standard definition digital video. When the Legalizer is enabled, the picture is processed on a pixel by pixel basis to be within legal limits for RGB requirements.
    Altenatively, the Y, Cr, Cb legalizer provides controls for white clip, and black clip and chroma limiting.

    Flexible Synchronization

    An infinitely adjustable timing system genlocks to your house reference. The 7550 genlocks to either composite video (PAL or NTSC) or to Tri-Level Sync. The module can lock to the frame’s master reference or reference can be connected directly to the module’s external reference BNC. The serial output timing can be set anywhere within a frame of the selected input reference, which can be the module’s external BNC reference or the frame’s master timing reference.

    Upon loss of signal, the 7550 provides freeze frame or black until the signal is recovered. In freeze mode, audio can be muted or passed as desired.

    Uncompromised Pictures

    The HD or SD SDI input is carried at full, uncompressed bandwidth throughout the entire module, and EDH monitoring of the digital input alerts you to any incoming problem. EDH detection, monitoring and insertion are standard on the 7550. Flags are reported through Avenue PC.

    Complete Proc Amp Functions

    The 7550 has a full-featured Proc Amp for adjustment of every signal parameter. Proc controls include Video and Chroma Gain, NTSC-style hue rotation, Black Balance, and Pedestal.

    Audio Tracking

    The 8415 Audio Processing option can be added to the 7550 module. The 8415 is an eight-channel processor that has been designed to provide superior handling of embedded audio. Embedded audio is safely bypassed around the video framestore with the lip sync properly preserved.

    Total Control

    Every function and parameter on the 7550 and 8415 can be controlled from an Express Panel, Avenue Touch Panel, or the Avenue PC Control Application. Memory registers can be used to save the complete configuration of the module, making it easy to change instantly between different configurations.

    Avenue 3RU FrameThe 3RU frame is a full-featured chassis that accommodates any ten Avenue modules. Modules plug into a universal motherboard so that rear modules are not needed. In addition to the ten module slots, there is a dedicated slot for the optional 5030 System Control module. One universal power supply comes with each frame. Redundant supply is optional and does not take up a slot in the frame. Touch Screen front door or plain front door are available. Plastic overlays for each module type are provided and slip over the corresponding BNCs on the backplane to identify the input and output designations on each type of module. In addition to the ten audio and video modules, the optional 5030 System Control Module adds a variety of control capabilities. All modules are hot-swappable and because of the universal backplane, no special rear connectors are needed. 5020 Power Supply Each Avenue 3RU frame comes with one 5020 Power Supply module installed. An optional redundant power supply is available if desired to provide backup. Power is provided to all modules in the frame, the front door fan and optional Avenue Touch Screen Panel. Frame Specifications The Avenue 3RU (5.25 inches) frame fits in a standard 19-inch rack. Any number of frames may be stacked together in any combination. A fan in the front door of each 3RU frame provides the necessary cooling for the frame. The fan is temperature-sensitive and adjusts its speed accordingly. Should the fan fail, a red LED will light on the front panel. If using a remote control option, an alarm can be set to alert the user of fan failure. All critical components such as fuses, filter and fan are accessible from the front of the unit.
    BrightEye 90 HD Up/Down Cross Converter and ARC with AES AudioBrightEye 90 is a versatile up/down/cross converter or aspect ratio converter for use with analog and digital video signals. Simply set the BrightEye 90 to output your facility’s preferred or SD standard. The BrightEye 90 will accommodate whatever input you connect – analog composite, SD SDI or HD SDI. After setting the output standard, BrightEye 90 automatically converts the selected input to the correct standard for your facility. BrightEye 90 will upconvert, downconvert, cross convert, or act as an ARC, as needed. The built-in Frame Synchronizer allows you to feed asynchronous signals to the BrightEye 90. An external reference input allows genlock to a house reference. All vertical interval data and closed captioning is faithfully passed. Upconverting to High Definition Feed the analog composite or SD SDI output of a camera to a BrightEye 90 and upconvert to HD. You can take the HD signal from the BrightEye 90 into a switcher or projection system. Upconverting existing SD equipment lets you leverage the equipment you already have and operate in the HD domain. While some cameras may have firewire out, using the video output and upconverting before distribution is preferable since longer cable runs can be achieved and quality is superior. Additionally, the BrightEye 90’s reference input allows you to time the upconverted video output for use with a production switcher. Downconverting to Standard Definition BrightEye 90 will downconvert any type of HD signal and provides both an SD SDI and an analog composite output suitable for broadcast or monitoring. Cross Conversion It’s easy to convert between various HD standards, whether 720p or 1080i. Simply select the output standard you need and connect the input, that’s all there is to it. Aspect Ratio Conversion For converting between SD 4:3 and HD 16:9, BrightEye 90 has you covered. Just select the output standard you need and connect the input. Audio Processing Made Simple BrightEye 90 handles both embedded audio and discreet AES digital audio streams. Sixteen channels of embedded audio are supported in BrightEye 90. If the incoming video has embedded audio, the audio will be safely bypassed around the video processing and lipsync will be preserved. Audio mixing is available for two of the four embedded groups of audio. The AES I/O ports can be configured for eight channels of incoming audio or for eight channels of audio output. The audio mixer can be used for AES channels as well. Mixer controls are accessed through the BrightEye Control app. Monitoring for Video and Audio Audio monitoring is easy with BrightEye 90’s convenient 3.5mm mini jack. Select the audio channels you want to monitor from the front panel and plug in a headset. The HDMI connector on the rear of the unit provides a future proof monitoring interface. Plug it into most LCD monitors for confidence monitoring of your feed. Front Panel and Software Control Input selection, gain control, and test pattern controls are provided through the front panel interface. Audio presence LEDs indicate which channels are detected. Controls for crop, letterbox and pillarbox are accessed from the front panel or BrightEye Mac or PC software. Video and audio levels and the audio mixer can be adjusted through BrightEye Control.
    BrightEye NXT 950 4 Channel SDI Frame Sync & U/D/CThe BrightEye NXT 950 Frame Synchronizer packs a lot of features in a tiny package. Frame Synchronization and Format Conversion, with 16 channels of embedded Audio. The NXT 950 has four independent frame synchronizers. Each supports automatic input format detection and conversion to desired output format. Adjust video and chroma gains with the built-in Proc Amp. Color Correct to compensate for input material or to match projectors and monitors. Adjust levels and swap/mix channels in Embedded Audio. Even embedded surround sound (Dolby, AC-3) is synchronized from input to output. Control the Frame Syncs and monitor each channel’s input and output from the front panel, or through the interactive Web interface. Rackmount up to three NXT 950s in 1RU for the ultimate processing density.
