OP+SFS+
3G/HD/SD-Capable A/V Frame Synchronizer with Optical Transmitter or Receiver
The SFS6803+ 3G/HD/SD video frame synchronizer is an auto-timing serial digital frame synchronizer and audio synchronizer processing module for the 6800+™ frame. The module provides video frame synchronization and delay for 3G/HD/SD signals and can be used in any broadcast, post-production, cable or mobile facility where processing and synchronization of SD or HD video and audio (embedded and/or discrete) signals are required. The SFS6803+ has the capability to retime an I/O signal to a local station clock for the clean processing of all synchronized signals.
The OP+SFS+D version includes the fiber sub-module that will allow the addition of an optical transmitter or receiver to complement the electrical inputs.

Product Details
With both video and full audio processing capabilities, the SFS6803+ allows for control over the picture, embedded audio processing and audio tracking. Full handling of the embedded metadata is provided, with the ability to de-embed and re-embed metadata from external sources. The module will have:
- One video serial digital input
- Four synchronized video serial digital outputs
- Genlock reference video input (card or frame)
- A special output (data I/O) for the hot-switch and I/O delay signals for tracking audio processing
- A RS-232/422 serial connector for metadata embedding and de-embedding
In addition, the module has a option for eight AES input and eight AES output ports al-lowing for separate audio processing of 16 channels. This provides the ability to select these 16 channels along with 16 embedded channels from the SDI input.
The SFS6803+D can be controlled manually via card-edge controls with OSD video display or remotely using CCS Navigator™, HTTP Web server or third-party SNMP-based control applications. In addition, the module is Q-SEE™-compliant , allowing for direct thumbnail monitoring when installed in a FR6822+QXFE frame.
