Avenue 7925 Dual HD Downconverter

The 7925 module is a two-channel, dual downconverter with HD and SD outputs that can be used in the most demanding broadcast applications. With two downconverters on one module, the 7925 provides high efficiency with excellent picture quality. The downconverted outputs are timeable with respect to the reference input and can feed production switchers and routers.

The 7925 accepts 720p, 1080i, 1080sF and 1080p inputs that are synchronous or asynchronous. If an SD SDI input is received, SD is passed to the output.

Motion-adaptive deinterlacing of the video signal enables all internal processing to occur in progressive.

The 7925 performs automatic color space and gamma conversion to accommodate the differences between HD and SD. The Aspect Ratio Conversion process offers resizing and repositioning with choices for: Letterbox, Anamorphic, Crop and Zoom.

Proc amp controls are provided in the form of Video, Chroma and Pedestal. Video outputs can be timed with respect to the reference input.

Audio Handling

The 7925 supports 16 channels of embedded audio (without the need for any sub module). Embedded audio in the input is safely bypassed around the video processing, delayed to preserve lip sync, and reembedded in the SD SDI output. Any two of those audio channels can be selected for conversion to analog form. These balanced outputs can be used with the composite video output to feed analog equipment, or for signal monitoring. All audio processing and conversion is performed at full 24 bit resolution.

Control

The 7925 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.

Metadata

HD closed captioning is carried in data packets in the vertical interval ancillary data space. The 7925 properly translates HD caption data to traditional SD captioning (line 21 or 23) so that closed captioning content is converted transparently between video standards and formats.

Automatic Aspect Ratio Conversion

The 7925 uses WSS (Wide Screen Signaling) and AFD (Active Format Description) to mark or identify the aspect ratio of the video content. These flags are read at the input of the module to determine the type of Aspect Ratio Conversion to perform. Subsequently, these flags are properly updated in the output signal to reflect its format and presentation.

BrightEye 24 SDI to Analog Converter and DisembedderBrightEye 24 is both a disembedder (demultiplexer) and a digital to analog video converter. The incoming serial digital video signal is converted to an analog composite output. Audio signals present in the incoming digital video signal are extracted and delivered as four channels of analog audio. Audio mixing, level adjustments, and channel shuffling 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 24 to any type of system. Use BrightEye 24 in desktop and broadcast applications.
BrightEye 41 Video/AES/Tri-Level Sync Distribution AmplifierBrightEye 41 is a distribution amplifier that accepts analog video, AES digital audio, or Tri-Level Sync signal. It can also be used with SMPTE 310M, Dolby E and AC-3 signals. It provides unity gain fanout over a frequency range of DC to 10 MHz. It can handle composite and component analog video, coaxial AES digital audio, or a High Definition Tri-Level Sync signal. When using a digital to analog video converter and multiple outputs are needed, BrightEye 41 can be used to distribute and provide those additional output signals. BrightEye 41 works well with video converters BrightEye 10 and BrightEye 16. BrightEye 41 is also useful in conjunction with any of the BrightEye SPG/TSGs, for distributing Tri-Level Sync, AES and composite signals.
BrightEye 30 Audio ADC and DACBrightEye 30 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 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, and channel shuffling are accessed through the BrightEye Control app. A variety of audio connectors and adapters are available for integrating BrightEye 30 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.
