SEL-2XD1

Dual-Channel Conversion with Advanced Audio Processing Capability


The Selenio™ SEL-1XD1 and SEL-2XD1 modules provide single-channel and high-density dual-channel video conversion and frame synchronization for 3G/HD/SD/3D signals. These modules are ideal for any broadcast, post-production, cable or mobile facility where processing and synchronization of NTSC/PAL, SD (480i, 576i), HD (720p, 1080i, 1080p/sf) and 3D video and audio (embedded and/or discrete) signals are required.

The SEL-1XD1 and SEL-2XD1 can retime a program signal to a local station clock for the clean processing of all synchronized signals. Signal processing functions include up/down/cross/aspect ratio and basic frame rate conversion (and optional linear frame rate conversion), processing amplifier, color correction and clipping and logo generation/insertion for single- and dual-channel applications.

Product Details

The single- and dual-channel SEL-1XD1 and SEL-2XD1 modules offer comprehensive video and audio processing capabilities, including conversion between video formats, control over the picture, embedded audio processing and audio tracking. Full handling of the embedded audio metadata is provided, including the ability to de-embed and embed audio metadata from external sources.

The modules feature eight AES input/output ports and two 16-channel embedder/de-embedders with internal processing of 32-channels. Analog and digital audio expansion modules provide analog audio interface capability and additional AES inputs and outputs, and internal processing channels.

Back modules can accommodate a dual-fiber input SFP and two dual-fiber output SFPs.

The SEL-1XD1 and SEL-2 XD 1 modules can be controlled remotely using the standard web server element management system, CCS Navigator™ software, HTTP web server or third-party SNMP-based control applications.

For the SEL-1 XD 1 single-channel version, there is the capability to provide the output with or without OSD. For the SEL-2XD1 dual-channel version with one input signal, there is the capability to provide one output with OSD and one output without OSD. In a dual input and output configuration, the OSD may be added to one output channel.

In addition, the SEL-1XD1 and SEL-2XD1 modules are Q-SEE™-compliant, allowing for direct thumbnail monitoring when installed in a Selenio frame. For a dual-channel SEL-2XD1 module, one thumbnail is provided. If a second thumbnail is required for the second channel, a video expansion module can be added.

3DTV Functionality
The Selenio SEL-2XD1 dual-channel video converter provides left eye/right eye processing for cameras with beam splitting, including conversion, video and audio synchronization, proc amp, color correction, clipping and logo insertion. Conversions between separate left and right eye signals and frame-compatible formats are supported including side/side and over/under.

Front Module Connectivity

The Selenio SEL-1XD1 and SEL-2XD1 frame sync modules are interconnected with the two controller modules for SDI and 100Base-T for control and monitoring. An analog reference is available from each reference input on the back of the frame.

Video and Audio Expansion
For additional inputs and outputs and increased functionality, simply add video and audio expansion modules to the Selenio SEL-1XD1 and SEL-2XD1 video conversion application modules.

When an expansion module is installed beside an applications module, an automatic connection takes place. The corresponding block diagram in the graphical user interface is updated, giving the user setup, control and monitoring functions.

Video and audio signals are automatically connected internally over bidirectional high-speed busses, eliminating the need for external cabling.

One video expansion module can be placed beside a video conversion and frame sync application module. Five back module options provide interfaces for electrical and optical inputs and outputs and relay bypass for critical signals upon power loss.

For audio expansion, up to two analog audio expansion modules and/or digital audio expansion modules can be placed beside a frame sync and conversion application module. Audio expansion modules can provide additional audio processing support such as Dolby® codecs, and DTS Neural Surround™ Up Mix/DownMix and DTS Neural loudness control.

When viewing the front of the frame, the video expansion is added to the left of the frame sync applications module (lower slot number). Audio expansion modules are added to the right of the frame sync applications module (higher slot numbers).

Digital and analog audio expansion modules can be added to video conversion modules in the following configurations:

The advanced audio plug-in has the following features:

  • The maximum number of advanced audio plug-ins supported is two per FS/XD and audio expansion module pair
  • If the configuration has an FS or XD module, one audio expansion module and one advanced audio plug-in sub-module, the advanced audio plug-in must be installed on the FS or XD module
  • If the configuration has an FS or XD module, two audio expansion modules and two advanced audio plug-in sub-modules, the advanced audio plug-in must be installed on the FS or XD module and the first adjacent audio expansion module

Back Module Connectivity
The SEL-1XD1 and SEL-2XD1 video conversion applications modules offer four choices for back module external connectivity — HD-BNC electrical connections for input and output; dual-SFP optical input with HD-BNC outputs; HD-BNC inputs with two dual-SFP optical outputs; and a dual-SFP optical input and two dual-SFP optical outputs. All four back modules provide AES-3 connections utilizing HD-BNC connectors, and GPI connections utilizing a 20-pin socket/plug connector.

SDI interfaces utilize a Belden-type 1505A, 1694A or 1695A cable (or equivalent) with HD-BNC connectors, and AES-3 interfaces utilize a Belden-type 1855 cable (or equivalent) with HD-BNC connectors. Adaptor cables and an insertion/extraction tool is provided for these types of HD-BNC connections. For optical input and output connectivity, dual-SFP receivers and transmitters can be provided with the appropriate back module.
