The PVD 5840 FLEXCARD offers a host of advanced functions in a single compact module. It functions primary as a frame synchronizer plus image and audio processor, however it can be custom configured to address a multitude of applications.
The basic module is a single channel multi-format frame synchronizer, providing four output channels each with its own video processor and audio embedder. Internal image processing resources include two ARC channels, a high quality up/down/cross converter, two noise reduction channels and two RBG color correction channels, all of which can be user mapped using the internal signal router.
The audio processing capabilities are extensive. The module de-embeds all audio as well as providing support for eight external AES inputs or outputs. Multiple internal crossbars allow for extensive audio shuffling. It also provides content aware audio processing, DolbyE synchronization, full audio processing as well as multiple adjustable user delays.
Optional fiber optic Inputs and outputs are available, as well as CWDM support with 18 wavelength selections.
Additional options include a second input with a second frame synchronizer plus a second up/down/cross converter. There is also an option to support level B (DL) formats and also cross conversion between Level A and Level B. All options are pre-installed and activated through license codes.
The PVD 5840 FLEXCARD is driven using the LynxCentraal control system, which provides an intuitive graphical visualization for the status, control, monitoring and configuration of the module.
Note: Module occupies two rack slots.
