SFS6803+D
3G/HD/SD-Capable A/V Frame Synchronizer
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 HD or SD video and audio (embedded and/or discrete) signals are required. The SFS6803+ has the capability to re-time an I/O signal to a local station clock for the clean processing of all synchronized signals.

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, along with the ability to de-embed and re-embed metadata from external sources. The module includes:
- 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 an option for eight AES input and eight AES output ports, allowing 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 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.
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.
