  • Avenue 7555 HD / SD Video Processing Frame Synchronizer

    The 7555 HD Processing Frame Sync accepts a 1.5 Gb/s high definition video or standard definition video signal for processing, synchronization and timing.

    Flexible Synchronization

    An infinitely adjustable timing system genlocks to your house reference. The 7555 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 7555 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.

    Complete Proc Amp Functions

    The 7555 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 Support

    The 7555 includes a full-featured, sixteen-channel audio mixer. The channel swap and shuffle capability allows you to completely rearrange and remix audio channels. It provides precise control over audio level, with up to 12 dB of gain to compensate for low level sources. Delay is adjustable up to one second. The audio mixer can be used for embedded audio and for audio sourced from the AES or analog inputs. The 9615 AES and analog audio I/O software key option is required if you want to use the AES or analog inputs and outputs. The 9615 provides four AES input/output ports for eight channels of I/O and also provides four channels of analog audio I/O.

    Dolby and AC-3

    The 7555 can be fitted with Dolby™ and AC-3 encoding and decoding options. The 7615 decoding option can be fed from either an AES input or an AES stream disembedded from the incoming SDI signal. The resulting discrete surround signals are then selectable as inputs to the sixteen channel mixer/shuffler.

    The 7630 Dolby encoder is fed from selected outputs of the sixteen channel mixer/shuffler. The resulting encoded bitstream can be output both on an AES output and embedded into the
    SDI output.

    LevelTrack™ AGC and Compliance Options

    The 9670 LevelTrack™ Audio Automatic Gain Control software key can be added as an option. LevelTrack provides control for keeping audio levels consistent in program material.

    The 9690 Audio Compliance and Monitoring Software can be added for compliance verification and archiving.

    Total Control

    Every function and parameter on the 7555 can be controlled from an 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.

    BrightEye 16 SDI to Analog Video Converter with Frame Sync/Genlock and Audio DisembedderBrightEye 16 is a digital to analog video converter with a timeable output. It’s perfect for feeding analog switchers and routers, where signal timing is required. It’s also a disembedder and provides four analog audio outputs. With timing controls, proc adjustments, and a built-in audio mixer, BrightEye 16 provides a complete solution for digital to analog conversion. BrightEye 16 has an SDI video input and a reference input. The input signal is converted to analog composite and synchronized (genlocked) to the reference signal. The analog composite output is fully timed with respect to the reference, including ScH phase. Audio is disembedded with 24 bit precision and converted to analog. Basic controls are accessed on the front panel. Use the BrightEye Control app to access video proc controls and the built-in audio mixer. The vertical interval can be passed or blanked. VU indication is provided on the front panel and BrightEye Control.
    BrightEye 30-D Audio ADC and DAC Bi-directional Converter with DelayBrightEye 30-D is a flexible audio converter that can be a two channel, bi-directional ADC and DAC, or it can be configured as a four channel converter. Perfect in desktop, post and broadcast applications, 24 bit processing ensures beautiful audio. As a bi-directional converter, two channels of analog audio are converted to AES digital audio and at the same time an AES stream is converted to two channels of analog. Alternately, the unit can be configured as a four channel AES to analog converter or a four channel analog to AES converter. BrightEye 30-D also serves as a sample rate converter. For example, a digital 44.1 KHz signal from a CD player can be fed to the input and a digital AES3id, 48 KHz signal synchronous to the reference input will be output. Audio mixing, level adjustments, channel shuffling and delay are accessed through the BrightEye Control app. Audio delay adjustments simplify signal integration. A variety of audio connectors and adapters are available for integrating BrightEye 30-D to any type of system. A reference input is provided which allows digital outputs to be synchronized to either a PAL or NTSC video signal or AES reference.
    BrightEye 11-HD HD/SD SDI to Analog ConverterBrightEye 11-HD provides HD or SD digital to analog video conversion with the full range of analog output formats available for HD and SD. When an HD input is present HD RGB or YPrPb are output. When an SD input is present Beta, SMPTE, RGB or composite with simultaneous Y/C is output. 12 bit processing and conversion at 8 x oversampling mean the best looking images possible. Output format and gain are controlled from the front panel. A status display indicates input presence. Video levels can be adjusted through the BrightEye Control app.
    BrightEye 20 Analog and Digital Audio Embedder or DisembedderBrightEye 20 is a versatile audio Mux/Demux. With SDI video I/O, and both analog and AES I/O, it is field configurable for embedding or disembedding. When configured as a multiplexer, BrightEye 20 has one serial digital video input and two AES digital audio inputs. Alternately, the 4 channel analog audio input can be used. The audio is embedded into the 601 video stream. The output is a serial digital video stream that contains the original video plus the two AES streams or four analog audio channels. When configured as a demultiplexer, audio signals present in the incoming serial digital video signal are extracted and delivered simultaneously as two AES digital audio streams and as four analog audio channels. Audio mixing, level adjustments, and channel shuffling can be applied to both the multiplexer and demultiplexer modes, and are accessed through the BrightEye Control app. Audio group selection is also made through BrightEye Control. A variety of audio connectors and adapters are available for integrating BrightEye 20 to any type of system.
