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.

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 7450 HD Protection Switch
The 7450 module is a fail-safe, bypass protection switch for critical digital paths for broadcast or satellite applications. When a fault is detected in the primary input, 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 7450 includes a passive, fail-safe path that ensures there is an output even in the event of a total power failure. The 7450 supports HD SDI signals. Different types of signal testing (vetting) can be enabled on the 7450 and it will apply the tests automatically and independently for the Primary and Secondary inputs. The health of a high 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 7450 to switch to the secondary input after a video freeze condition is detected in the primary input. The switch can operate in two modes: automatic or nonresetting. In fully automatic mode, the 7450 will automatically switch back to the primary signal once it’s been restored. In the non-resetting mode, the secondary input remains routed to the output, even after the primary input has recovered. The 7450 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.
Avenue 7455 HD/SD/ASI/310 Protection Switch
The 7455 module is a fail-safe, bypass protection switch for critical digital paths for broadcast or satellite applications. When a fault is detected in the primary input, 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 7455 includes a passive, fail-safe path that ensures there is an output even in the event of a total power failure. The 7455 supports SD SDI, HD SDI, SMPTE 310M and DVB-ASI signals. Different types of signal testing (vetting) can be enabled on the 7455 and it will apply the tests according to the type of input that is present. This happens automatically and independently for the Primary and Secondary inputs. This means that the Primary input of the module could be HD SDI while the Secondary input is SD SDI. It is also possible to mix SDI, ASI and 310 signals, or receive the same standard on both the Primary and Secondary inputs. 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 7455 to switch to the secondary input after a video freeze condition is detected in the primary input. The health of an ASI or 310 signal is determined by monitoring digital clock lock, packet presence, and PID presence. The user can configure tests to define the minimum number of video packets and audio packets expected per second in a given service. The switch can operate in two modes: automatic or nonresetting. In fully automatic mode, the 7455 will automatically switch back to the primary signal once it’s been restored. In the nonresetting mode, the secondary input remains routed to the output, even after the primary input has recovered. The 7455 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.
Avenue 7465 Sync Changeover Switch
The 7465 Sync Changeover Switch module can be used with Avenue’s 7400 SPG module, or with third party sync pulse generators. In the event of a failure of the primary sync source, the 7465 changes to the secondary source. There are three poles or sections on the 7465. One pole tests for HD SDI and SD SDI signals. The other two poles test for AES audio, Composite video, Bi-Level Sync and Tri-Level Sync. A drop in signal amplitude below a predetermined auto threshold will trigger the switch. Multiple changeover switches can be ganged together through the control system. Depending on the application, two or more 7465s may be required to handle all signals that need to be protected.

Metadata HD closed captioning is carried in data packets in the vertical interval ancillary data space. The 7920 properly translates between HD caption data and 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 7920 supports AFD (Active Format Description) to mark or identify the aspect ratio of the video content. These flags are generated at the output of the module, and they are read at the input. This allows the up and down conversion proc The 7930 module provides cross conversion between HD 1.5 Gb/s formats, processing all popular variations of 1080 and 720, making it simple for every facility to ingest any type of HD signal. All popular variations of 720p, 1080i, 1080sF and 1080p are supported. The 7930 converts between any HD signals within the 59.94/23.98/29.97 family, within the 50/25 fps family, or within the 60/30 fps family. When converting from 59.94 to 23.98 formats, the 3:2 cadence of any existing film material in the input is automatically detected and backed out. The 7930 can be configured to continually output your facility’s preferred HD format. Just connect any HD signal to the input and the 7930 will cross convert it to the appropriate format for output. And, if the 8415 audio option is installed, the audio will automatically be processed as well. The 7930 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.

Automatic Aspect Ratio Conversion The 7930 supports AFD (Active Format Description) to mark or identify the aspect ratio of the video content. These flags are generated at the output of the module, and they are read at the input. This allows the up and downconversion process to adapt automatically to material that is already in letterbox or pillarbox form in order to produce the most appropriate conversion. Audio Options When an audio sub module is installed, audio is automatically delayed as needed to compensate for the video processing in the 7930. For complete audio processing, choose from three different audio sub modules. Sub modules plug onto the 7930 board and do not take up a slot in the frame. The 8415 is an eight-channel audio sub module with AES I/O that provides management of embedded audio in the processing path, or supports audio embedding/disembedding alongside the video processing elements. Embedded audio is safely bypassed around the video frame store with the lip sync preserved. Level adjustments and channel shuffling are accessed through the built-in audio mixer. The 9670 Automatic Gain Control option can be added to the 8415. All audio processing is performed at full 24 bit resolution. The 7610 provides carriage of up to eight channels of embedded audio through the format conversion process. Embedded audio in the input signal is delayed to match the video delay and preserve lip sync. The delayed content is reinserted in the video output. No level adjustment or channel swapping is provided. ess to adapt automatically to material that is already in letterbox or pillarbox form in order to produce the most appropriate conversion.

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.
