  • 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 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 15 SDl to Analog Converter with Frame Sync/GenlockBrightEye 15 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. BrightEye 15 has an SD 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. Basic controls are provided on the front panel. With the BrightEye Control app, you can control video proc functions; Gain, Chroma, Pedestal, and Hue. The vertical interval can be passed or blanked.
    BrightEye 70 HD/SD AES Embedder/DisembedderThe BrightEye 70 is a dual rate eight channel audio embedder or disembedder for 1.5Gb/s high definition video signals or for 270Mb/s standard definition signals. Four AES ports automatically configure as inputs or outputs depending if the module is configured as mux or demux. When configured as a multiplexer, the BrightEye 70 has one serial digital video input and four AES audio inputs. These four AES streams are embedded into the video stream. AES inputs are sample rate converted, allowing the use of asynchronous audio. The output of the module is a digital stream that contains the original video signal and four AES pairs. When configured as a demultiplexer, audio signals present in the incoming video signal are extracted and delivered as standard AES digital audio streams. The BrightEye 70 includes an eight channel audio mixer with channel swap and shuffle capability that 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. All audio processing is performed at full 24 bit resolution by a digital signal processor (DSP). Delay is adjustable up to one second. The Data mode operation allows embedding or disembedding of Dolby E or AC3 signals.
