The 8400 Digital Video Processing Frame Synchronizer is the total solution for standard definition digital video and digital audio processing.

Total Flexibility

The flexible architecture of the 8400 makes it a multipurpose, ÒDo Anything in DigitsÓâ module. Uncompromising attention to image quality and fidelity means that it does what you need it to do and keeps your signals pristine.

The 8400 has SDI I/O. In between those inputs and outputs is a rugged frame synchronizer and a powerful proc amp. An infinitely adjustable timing system genlocks to your house reference. An optional audio processor and an optional Digital Noise Reducer round out the 8400 module.

Uncompromised Pictures

The SDI input is carried at full uncompressed bandwidth throughout the entire module, and EDH monitoring of the digital input alerts you to any incoming problem. Complete control over signal levels is provided.

Solid Frame Synchronizer

Input video is synchronized to your house reference by the 8400’s built-in Frame Synchronizer. It’s the perfect serial digital frame sync. On loss of input, the output can mute to black or freeze on the last good frame of video.

Complete Proc Amp Functions

The 8400 has a full-featured Proc Amp for adjustment of every signal parameter. Proc controls include Video and Chroma Gain, NTSC style hue rotation, Black Balance, and pedestal. Black and White clips can be set to prevent excessive signal excursions.

A Detail Enhancer recovers information that has been lost due to poor frequency response in upstream systems. Certain values represented in serial digital component may be illegal in the NTSC or PAL composite domains. The Predictive Composite Clipper mode identifies picture elements that would be illegal in analog composite, and limits color saturation and luminance excursions. You can be confident that the work you’re doing in digital component will look its best when it’s viewed in composite.

Selective (toothed) vertical blanking lets you choose to pass or strip content in the vertical interval on a line by line and field by field basis. To help optimize the settings in the Proc Amp, a Split Screen mode allows you to compare the processed output with the original material.

Total Control

Every function and parameter of the 8400 can be controlled from an Express Panel, Avenue Touch Screen, or the Avenue PC Control Application. Memory registers can be used to save the complete configuration of the module, making it easy to change instantly between different configurations.

Channel Density

Ten 8400 Video Processors (including both an audio and DNR Option) can be accommodated by the Avenue 3RU Frame. Now that’s an efficient use of real estate!
