7700 MultiFrame Manual 7710DCDA-HD Downconverter & Distribution Amplifier On all menus, there are two extra selectable items: Back and Exit. Selecting Back will take you to the previous menu (the one that was used to get into the current menu) while Exit will return the display to its normal operating mode. -
Page 12: Configuring The Video Controls
You can also force it to either high definition mode (HD) or standard definition mode (SD). When the input video is Standard Definition, the 7710DCDA-HD operates as a monitoring distribution amplifier. In this mode it does not process the audio or vertical interval data but merely passes it through. -

3:2 pulldown, or video originated material acquired at a nominal 24 frames per second. When using a 720p/59.94 input video feed the 7710DCDA-HD downconverts each frame of the incoming image to one field of output image, so there will be no pulldown related artifacts on film originated material with 3:2 pulldown, or video originated material acquired at a nominal 24 frames per second. -

CONFIGURING THE SCALER The 7710DCDA-HD scaler chip uses a process of filtering to in order to reduce the resolution from 1920 x 1080 (or 1280 x 720) to 720 x 480 (or 720 x 576). The Scaler menus are used to configure the cut-off frequencies of the filters associated with the scaler hardware. -
Page 21: Configuring The Vertical Interval Processing
7700 MultiFrame Manual 7710DCDA-HD Downconverter & Distribution Amplifier 5.6. CONFIGURING THE VERTICAL INTERVAL PROCESSING The VANC Data Processing menus are used to configure how vertical interval signals such as closed captions and vertical interval time code (VITC) are processed. These menu items are not applicable when a standard definition input video is connected. -
Page 22: Setting The Contents Of The Vitc User Bits
The SMPTE 299M standard permits up to 4 groups of 4 audio channels to be embedded into the 1.5 Gb/s video bitstream. The model 7710DCDA-HD de-embeds two groups of audio that are the source for re- embedding on the SDI output video. The Audio menus are used to configure the de-embedder and embedder groups. -
Page 23: Selecting The Audio Groups That Will Be De-Embedded
5.7.2. Selecting The Audio Groups That Will Be Embedded The model 7710DCDA-HD has two embedders that each insert one group of audio on the SDI output. The source for Embedder A is the audio being extracted by de-embedder A. The source for Embedder B is the audio being extracted by de-embedder B. -
