The 7736CE2 series of modules are broadcast quality component serial digital to composite analog video converters with an extensive list of advanced features. The 7736CE2-A4 and 7736CE2-A8 versions offer respectively four (two per encoding channel) or eight (four per encoding channel) high quality audio digital to analog converters that can be driven from discrete AES inputs or audio embedded within the video input signal. The module features a clean (asynchronous) and a fast (synchronous) input video lock modes to handle upstream switches. In addition, control of card is via an On-Screen-Display or remotely via VistaLINK®.
Two component serial digital inputs (525 or 625)
One composite analog video output per channel WITHOUT OSD text
Internal processing to maintain 10 bit digital video quality
12 bit output video digital to analog conversion
One monitoring quality video output with OSD for card configuration
User adjustable output video processing functions: black level (brightness), gain (contrast), hue, and saturation
User selectable luminance and chrominance filters for different applications (i.e. broadcast vs. studio)
User selectable horizontal blanking interval width (narrow or normal)
One composite analog reference input (NTSC or PAL-B) on BNC 75? or high-Z (jumper configurable) input impedance
Video Frame synchronizer (with +S option)
Infinitely variable output phase
Freeze modes: black, freeze
Input video lock mode: clean or fast
Adjustable free running frequency. Both channels must be free running to be able to adjust frequency
A comprehensive on screen display for module config
One half group (2 channels) of synchronous 20-bit audio may be de-multiplexed from the incoming digital video
1 unbalanced (or balanced) AES audio input (up to 48kHz, 24 bits) on BNC (or terminal strip for balanced audio)
2 high quality 24 bit audio channels are converted to balanced analog on 2 removable barrier strips
User selects either the de-embedded audio or the input AES audio
Audio delay tracks the video delay with the +S option
