Avenue 5360 & 5365 Four Channel Analog to Digital Video Converters and Embedders
The Avenue 5360 and 5365 modules convert four channels of analog video and audio to four streams of SD SDI with embedded audio. Use these modules with routers, switchers, remote trucks or any application that requires many channels of high quality video and conversion. This is a perfect solution for satellite installations that need to feed a large number of analog signals from IRDs into a monitor wall. 12 bit analog to digital conversion, digital decoding of the composite input, and adaptive comb filtering ensure superior output signals. Proc amp functions allow adjustment of video, chroma, setup and hue. Analog audio inputs are digitized at 24 bits of resolution and then embedded into the associated video signal. 5360 also has a genlock reference input and a TBC/Frame Sync for each of the four conversion channels. The 5360 can accept noisy inputs and is well suited for feeds from remote trucks and satellite receivers. Additionally, the 5360’s outputs are independently timeable.
Avenue 7435 HD / SD Clean and Quiet Protection Switch
The 7435 module is a clean and quiet protection switch for critical broadcast and satellite feeds. It switches cleanly between asynchronous sources which means it can be used live to air. The module has a full video frame synchronizer, rather than a line delay, ensuring perfect alignment of mis-timed and non-synchronous SDI sources. Clean and quiet switching between sources requires that they be synchronous and precisely timed to each other. The 7435 accomplishes this automatically, with integral frame synchronization of the inputs, allowing operation with both synchronous and asynchronous (wild) sources. This frame synchronization feature not only means that the output of the 7435 will always be stable and glitch-free, but it also means that in the event of a total loss of both inputs, consistently timed color black will still be output. These internal frame synchronizers can be genlocked to an external reference signal so that the output of the 7435 is synchronoA Clean Switch That’s Glitch-Free The 7435 module is a clean and quiet protection switch for critical broadcast and satellite feeds. It switches cleanly between asynchronous sources which means it can be used live to air. The module has a full video frame synchronizer, rather than a line delay, ensuring perfect alignment of mis-timed and non-synchronous SDI sources. Clean and quiet switching between sources requires that they be synchronous and precisely timed to each other. The 7435 accomplishes this automatically, with integral frame synchronization of the inputs, allowing operation with both synchronous and asynchronous (wild) sources. This frame synchronization feature not only means that the output of the 7435 will always be stable and glitch-free, but it also means that in the event of a total loss of both inputs, consistently timed color black will still be output. These internal frame synchronizers can be genlocked to an external reference signal so that the output of the 7435 is synchronous to local sources. Alternately, in teleports, headends, and other multi-service facilities, where there is no logical common reference, the 7435 will internally generate an accurate reference. The delay through the 7435 can be adjusted from one to eight frames, with independent control for the Primary and Secondary input paths. By operating with several frames of delay, the fault detection algorithms are given enough time to detect a failure in an input signal and switch to the backup before the fault has actually appeared on-air. Perfect Audio Glitch-free, quiet switching of embedded audio signals is achieved with the 7435’s precise synchronization and alignment of audio sources. Digital audio is de-embedded, and if it is linear PCM, sample rate converted, switched, and re-embedded. Encoded audio streams such as Dolby™ E are de-embedded and re-embedded but not processed in any way. PCM audio is supported with asynchronous sources, operation of encoded audio requires all sources to be synchronous, but not necessarily in time. Switch Logic When a fault is detected in the primary input to the 7435, and the secondary input is verified as good, the switch will activate, causing the secondary input to be switched to the module’s output. The 7435 includes a passive, fail-safe path that ensures there is an output even in the event of a total power failure. The module can be set to automatically switch back to the primary after the fault condition clears. If both the primary and the secondary inputs signals are faulted, no switch occurs. The health of a high definition or standard definition video signal is determined by monitoring crucial parameters in order of increasing complexity; Timing Reference Signal (TRS), or a persistent loss of digital sync is tested first. Black, Embedded Audio and Freeze are also evaluated. Each test can be configured by the user. For example, the sophisticated Black Detector includes configurable parameters for black level threshold, pixel count, and duration time. The Freeze detection system can be set to detect a clean or noisy source. Freeze Time sets the number of seconds for the 7435 to switch to the secondary input after a video freeze condition is detected in the primary input. Control and Alarms Module controls are easily accessed through an Avenue Control Panel, Avenue PC software, GPIs, or the module’s front edge controls. GPI inputs allow faults detected in upstream equipment to contribute to the switching logic. us to local sources. Alternately, in teleports, headends, and other multi-service facilities, where there is no logical common reference, the 7435 will internally generate an accurate reference.

Avenue 8415 8 Channel Audio Processor Sub Module for 7900 Series, and 8500
The 8415 is an eight-channel sub module for use with the Avenue 7900 Series, and Avenue 8500 Video Processing Frame Synchronizer. The 8415’s flexible architecture addresses a wide range of audio handling needs. All audio processing is performed at full 24 bit resolution by a digital signal processor (DSP). Mix, Swap and Shuffle The 8415 is a full-featured, eight-channel audio mixer. With built-in disembedding from the SDI input of the Video Processor, and four AES I/O ports, the 8415 can handle any digital audio requirement. It provides precise control over audio level, with up to 12 dB of gain to compensate for low level sources. The channel swap and shuffle capability allows you to completely rearrange and remix audio channels. Because the 8415 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. Lip Sync Preservation The 8415 has been designed to provide superior handling of embedded audio. The disembedder on the input side follows the timing of the video input, even if that input is asynchronous to the house reference. The embedder on the output side is synchronous to house. This allows embedded audio to be safely bypassed around the video framestore with lip sync properly preserved. Automatic Gain Control Option The 9670 Audio Automatic Gain Control software key can be added as an option. This option provides control for keeping audio levels consistent in program material.
Avenue 8510 4 Channel Audio Processor Sub Module for 8500
The 8510 Audio Processor is a sub module option for use with the 8500 Video Processing Frame Synchronizer. The 8510 adds both analog and digital audio capability with a flexible architecture that addresses a wide range of audio handling needs. When the 8500 is being used as a video A to D converter, the 8510 can perform the same function with the associated audio. If the 8500 is being fed an SDI signal with embedded audio, the 8510 can produce an analog output of that audio. When using the 8500 as an SDI frame sync, the 8510 can properly resynchronize the embedded audio content. Flexible Inputs The 8510 accepts four channels of balanced analog audio. Analog inputs are digitized at 24 bits of resolution. Two AES inputs provide four channels of digital audio to the input selector. Sample rate converters can be selected in the AES input path, allowing the use of asynchronous digital sources. The 8510 accepts synchronous AC-3 or Dolby E inputs. An audio disembedder fed by the SDI input to the 8500 provides four additional channels of digital audio. The input selector allows any of these four channels to serve as inputs to the audio processing functions. Mix, Swap and Shuffle The 8510 has a full-featured, four-channel audio mixer. Precise control over audio level is provided for each input. A gain of up to +12dB can be applied to signals with low input levels. Signal phase inversion is selectable on a channel-by-channel basis to correct phase errors in incoming material. Assignment of input channel to output channel is completely flexible, making it possible to swap any input to any output, or produce a mix of any input combination on any output. All audio processing is performed at the full 24 bit resolution of the system by a digital signal processor (DSP). Tracking Audio Delay In order to compensate for the delay introduced in the video path by the frame synchronizer function of the 8500, a tracking audio delay automatically delays the four audio channels. This prevents the video synchronizing process from causing lip sync errors. The amount of delay required is communicated to the 8510 by the 8500 module’s microcontroller. Changes in delay are made incrementally over several seconds. In addition to the automatic tracking delay, the 8510 has an additional bulk delay that is user-adjustable up to one second in length. This delay can be used to correct lip sync errors that were already present in the original signal. Digital and Analog Output The four audio output channels can be delivered in both analog and digital form. 24 bit digital to analog conversion produces the analog balanced outputs, with reference level selectable from -10 to +4 dBu. The output channels are simultaneously available in AES digital form, synchronous to the video reference supplied to the 8500 module. Finally, the four channels may also be embedded into the SDI output of the 8500. Embedded Audio Handling The 8510 has been designed to provide superior handling of embedded audio. The disembedder on the input side follows the timing of the SDI input, even if that input is asynchronous to the house reference. The embedder on the output side is synchronous to house. This allows embedded audio to be safely bypassed around the video framestore with the lip sync properly preserved.

Use Your Mouse To Select What is Output to Video Use your mouse to click and drag over the specific portion of computer video that you want to output. The perspective of seeing the whole screen relative to your selection gives you the ability to choose exactly which portion of the video you want to scan convert for output. Resize the selection window by clicking and dragging with your mouse. Mitto’s video output automatically goes to pillarbox or letterbox as needed. Mitto automatically maintains perfect aspect ratio. Digital and Analog Video and Audio The intuitive front panel interface makes it easy to choose the desired video output format. The genlock reference input allows the video outputs to be timed to house. Audio can be input through the DVI (or HDMI with adapter) input, or the 3.5mm audio input. The audio input accepts analog audio or AES digital audio. Audio is embedded into the SDI outputs – which is required for many high end applications. Audio delay controls let you adjust the audio timing with respect to video for perfect lip sync, which is crucial when using Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams video in a production environment.
BrightEye 20 Analog and Digital Audio Embedder or Disembedder
BrightEye 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.

BrightEye 90 HD Up/Down Cross Converter and ARC with AES Audio
BrightEye 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.
