    6.4. SETTING THE CHANGEOVER MODE MODE This parameter is used to set the switch mode of the 7700ACO-HD. AUTO AUTO – This puts the module into auto changeover mode. If a signal in active bank is lost, the module will automatically switch to the second bank.

  • Page 28: Resetting The Module To Factory Defaults

    SELECTING WHICH INPUT SIGNALS TO SWITCH ON The 7700ACO-HD uses a pool of input signals to determine when to activate a switch between the two banks. The pool can consist of the input video signal and/or any (or all) of the eight AES inputs. The signals in the pool are monitored in order to activate a switch.

  • Page 29: Table 6-4: Pool Example

    7700 MultiFrame Manual 7700ACO-HD HD/SD SDI 8 Channel AES & RS-232/RS-422 Auto Changeover Table 6-4 provides examples of this functionality. In the example, the pool contains Input Video, AES 1, AES 3, AES 5, and AES 8. Also in each case, the transition will be from the primary bank to the secondary one.
  • Page 30 VIDE module will switch to the other bank. AES1 AES2 There is a strict priority that is followed by the 7700ACO-HD. Video has AES3 the highest priority. If the primary (or active) bank loses an AES signal, AES4 and the secondary bank is missing a video signal (and is in the pool) the AES5 7700ACO-HD will not switch to the secondary bank.
