Model 7420 HD/SD Logo Inserter
Upconversion and Logo Insertion with One Module
You can bring in SD background material, upconvert to HD, key logos, and output HD –
all with one module. The 7490 series sub module options for the 7420 provide HD
upconversion, downconversion, cross conversion and aspect ratio conversion. When the
7490 is installed, simply set the 7420 to output the facility’s preferred HD or SD standard.
The 7420 will accommodate whatever input provided – any type of SD SDI or HD SDI
signal. After setting the output standard, the input will be converted to the correct
standard, logos and animations will be keyed, and the program out will be in the correct
standard for the facility.
Control
Playback of sequences can be issued through a variety of methods. All Avenue modules
can be accessed via ethernet with Avenue Logo software, Avenue PC software, or through
third party support using TCP/IP or SNMP protocols. Automation interfaces can be made
through the ethernet port or through a simple ASCII protocol via the RS-232 port specific
to the module. Single GPI contact closures can be used to initiate program sequences.
Sub Module Options for the 7420
7490
Up / Down / Cross Converter
This option offers total flexibility. Simply set the HD or SD output standard desired. Then
feed any SD SDI or HD SDI signal to the input. Up, down, cross, or aspect ratio
conversion is automatic. Use logo insertion capability to add letterbox framing.
7491
Upconverter
This option provides a very cost-effective, convenient way to handle both branding and
upconverting to HD. Feed an SD SDI or HD SDI input to the module and output HD SDI
in your selected standard.
7492
Downconverter
Feed an HD SDI input to the module and get an SD SDI output.
7494
Aspect Ratio Converter
Feed a 4:3 SD SDI signal to the input and get a 16:9 SD SDI output.
Or the reverse, 16:9 to 4:3.
