C2-7310 Dual Channel HD-SDI Video/Audio Processor

C2-7310 has all of the switching, video processing and conversion capability of the C2-7210, as described in that section, plus a wide range of audio processing capabilities allowing the user to embed, de-embed, delay, mix, route and sample rate convert digital stereo audio to satisfy even the most challenging requirements.

Multiple Stereo Channels – The C2-7310 has full audio processing for an astonishing 48 channels of digital stereo audio - 16 in and 16 out via the external connectors, plus a further 16 channels that can be de-embedded from the two SD-HD-SDI inputs and processed right along with the 16 external input channels. Due to the highly flexible internal audio routing, the 16 external stereo input channels can be assigned to any of the video inputs and the 16 stereo output channels can be assigned to any of the video outputs: Composite, YC, DVI, YPbPr, RGB, YUV or SD/HD-SDI. The 16 output channels can be embedded in the two HD-SDI outputs and simultaneously fed to the output connectors.

Flexible Audio Processing The superior quality of the C2-7310 means that the full 8 channels of Digital Stereo Audio of any frequency embedded within each of the two SD/HD-SDI inputs can be de-embedded and processed along with a further 16 channels of AES-3id data, frequency between 24 to 96KHz, that can be input via the HD-44 connectors, giving a total of 32 Digital Stereo Audio inputs handled simultaneously. Each Audio channel can be delayed by up to 2 seconds using exceptionally fine delay adjustment and the gain can be altered to anywhere between 0 and 800%.

A supremely high-quality sample rate conversion is also employed by the unit which enables the user to increase or decrease the sample frequency on each audio channel as required whilst ensuring optimum audio output, alternatively all of the AES audio channels can be synced to a DARS. Control data, when included in an incoming audio signal can be extracted and displayed to the user. Each Stereo Audio output can also be produced by down-mixing up to 3 uniquely delayed and scaled Stereo Audio inputs and routed to any audio output required. The C2-7310 also employs many automatic features including audio follow video and automatic audio delay to match the video processing delay.

Up to 16 AES Stereo Audio channels can be output at a frequency of 24, 32, 48, 96 KHz or DARS synchronized using the two HD-44 connectors on the back of the unit. Each of the two SDI outputs on the C2-7310 can have up to 8 channels of 48KHz Stereo Audio embedded in the video signal that is output via BNC connectors.

Due to the highly flexible internal audio routing, these 32 stereo channels (16 in and 16 out) are not restricted for use within the HD-SDI signal, but can be assigned to any of the other Composite, Component, S-Video, RGB or DVI inputs and outputs.

The 2x HD-44 connectors support AES-3id audio format directly and optional breakout units are available to interface to a wide variety of digital and analog audio formats. Each of these optional breakout units connect to a single of the C2-7310’s HD-44 connectors, so a total of two units may be simultaneously attached to provide maximum interface flexibility.

A2-7300 Series units are high quality audio format converters designed primarily to provide maximum format flexibility for the C2-7310 HD Audio/Video Processor’s audio inputs and outputs. The C2-7310 provides AES3-id audio I/O via two HD-44 Connectors. Any two of the A2-7300 models, or two of the same model, can connect to these connectors to bring the AES3-id signals out to BNC connectors or to change the audio format completely. All of the AES audio channels can be synchronized to a DARS reference when connected to the C2-7310 via any of the A2-7300 units.

A2-7302 provides an HD-44 interface to 16 AES (8-in/8-out) on XLR connectors and a DARS reference input on a BNC connector. This unit contains eight balanced AES to AES3-id converters, plus eight AES3-id to balanced AES converters to provide AES I/O. Click here to go to the A2-7300 series page

A2-7312 provides an HD-44 interface to 16 AES3-id (8-in/8-out) and a DARS reference input on BNC’s mounted on a 1RU panel via a 1.5 meter (4.5’) interconnect cable. The connectors may be separated from the panel if system wiring requirements dictate. Click here to go to the A2-7300 series page

A2-7322 provides an HD-44 to 16 Analog Stereo (8-in/8-out), balanced or unbalanced, on terminals and a DARS reference input on a BNC connector. This unit contains eight high quality stereo analog to AES3-id converters, plus eight high quality AES3-id to stereo analog converters. The audio sample rate is user adjustable in stand alone mode using DIP switches or selectable from the C2-7310 menu when connected. Click here to go to the A2-7300 series page

A2-7342 provides an HD-44 to 8 Analog Stereo (4-in/4-out) on XLR’s and a DARS reference input on a BNC connector. This unit contains four high quality stereo analog to AES3-id converters, plus four high quality AES3-id to stereo analog. The audio sample rate is user adjustable in stand alone mode using DIP switches or selected from the C2-7310 menu when connected. Click here to go to the A2-7300 series page

CORIO2 Technology This symbol on a product indicates that it is powered by CORIO2™ technology, the most flexible video processing engine now available. Unlike most manufacturers, who use third party chipsets to provide video conversion, TV One has developed its own proprietary technology known as CORIO2™. This frees TV One products from the constraints imposed by third parties and results in an unsurpassed degree of flexibility. Products based on third party chipsets have a feature set frozen at the introduction of the product. Since the CORIO2™ video processing engine is entirely firmware based, it can be upgraded at any time by downloading the latest firmware version form the support website and flash upgrading the unit in the field. This enables new features to be added to units many years after the initial purchase. This "obsolescence insurance" means that a CORIO2™ based product can always be upgraded to the latest version of that model.
