Avenue 7660 HD / SD Embedder, Disembedder and Data Inserter

The 7660 module is an eight-channel audio embedder or disembedder for 1.5 high definition or 270 Mb/s standard definition signals. Four AES ports automatically configure as inputs or outputs depending on if the module is configured as mux or demux. Additionally, four channels of analog audio are supported.

Configurable Mux or Demux

When configured as a multiplexer, the 7660 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, or eight channels.

When configured as a demultiplexer, audio signals present in the incoming video signal are extracted and delivered as standard AES digital audio streams.

The 7660 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.

In-Line Shuffler

Because the 7660 has simultaneous disembedding and embedding, it is an in-line processor for embedded audio. It can take embedded content, adjust levels and remap channels, and deliver it to the output as an embedded signal.

Dolby and AC-3

The 7660 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.

Additionally, the 7660 fully supports embedding and disembedding of encoded multi-channel bitstreams such as AC-3 and Dolby E.

LevelTrack™ Audio Loudness Control AGC Software and Compliance Options

The 9670 LevelTrack Audio Loudness Control AGC 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.

The 7660 can be configured locally or controlled and configured remotely with Avenue 5050 Touch Screen, Avenue Tabletop Control Panel, Avenue Express Panel, or Avenue PC Software. Alarm generation, configurable user levels, module lock-out, and customizable menus are just some of the tools included in the Avenue control system.

BrightEye 71 & 71-F HD/SD 8 Channel Analog Audio Embedder/DisembedderThe BrightEye 71 is a dual rate eight channel analog audio embedder or disembedder for 1.5Gb/s high definition video signals or for 270Mb/s standard definition signals. The analog audio ports automatically configure as inputs or outputs depending if the module is configured as mux or demux. When configured as a multiplexer, the BrightEye 71 has one serial digital video input and eight analog audio inputs. The audio streams are embedded into the video stream. The output of the module is a digital stream that contains the original video and audio signals. When configured as a demultiplexer, audio signals present in the incoming video signal are extracted and delivered as analog audio. The BrightEye 71 includes an eight channel audio mixer with channel swap and shuffle capability that allows you to completely re-arrange and re-mix 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. Order the BrightEye 71-F if you need an optical output.
BrightEye 90-F HD Up/Down Cross Converter and ARC with AES Audio and Optical OutputBrightEye 90-F is a versatile up/down/cross converter or aspect ratio converter for use with analog and digital video signals with the addition of an optical output. Optical connectivity allows for long cable runs between buildings or in mobile applications. Simply set the BrightEye 90-F to output your facility’s preferred HD or SD standard. The BrightEye 90-F will accommodate whatever input you connect analog composite, SD SDI or HD SDI. After setting the output standard, BrightEye 90-F automatically converts the selected input to the correct standard for your facility. BrightEye 90-F 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-F. 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-Fand upconvert to HD. You can take the HD signal from the BrightEye 90-F 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-F’s reference input allows you to time the upconverted video output for use with a production switcher. Downconverting to Standard Definition BrightEye 90-F 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-F has you covered. Just select the output standard you need and connect the input. Audio Processing Made Simple BrightEye 90-F handles both embedded audio and discreet AES digital audio streams. Sixteen channels of embedded audio are supported in BrightEye 90-F. 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 BrightEye Control Software. Monitoring for Video and Audio Audio monitoring is easy with BrightEye 90-F’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. Crop, letterbox and pillarbox can all be adjusted from the front panel. For more control, BrightEye Control Software provides controls for proc, audio mixing, and other advanced controls.
