AFD6800+D

HD/SD AFD/WSS Insertion Module

The AFD6800+D is a simple, low-cost active format description/wide screen signalling (AFD/WSS) insertion device for the 6800+™ modular core processing platform. This module is ideal for applications in broadcast networks, as well as news, cable, post and mobile television production. The AFD6800+D adheres to the SMPTE 2016 standard for AFD and can be utilized by network affiliates as a basic SD or HD inserter.

For more details on AFD see the white paper, “Demystifying Active Format Description”
