AVM-717
Video and Audio Multiformat Monitoring System
The Videotek® AVM-717 and AVM-717-EJ systems are the most advanced, versatile and intuitive HD/SD-SDI monitoring instruments available today. Each 7RU multiformat system features an integral 17-inch widescreen color LCD display, as well as stereo speakers and a headphone jack for audio monitoring.
With 100 percent digital signal processing technology, the AVM-717 provides an accurate, stable, user-customizable display of multiple waveform, vector, gamut, audio, picture, relative timing, alarm status and data analyzer functions. Displays can be quadrant or full-screen views. The AVM-717 has environmentally friendly, illuminated front-panel controls and an ultra-quiet cooling system.
Quick setup and parameter adjustments can be made via direct user access to display functions and screen location, 16 presets, context-sensitive pop-up menus and an intuitive navigation system.

Product Details
The AVM-717 provides two HD/SD-SDI passive looping inputs with auto-detection of input formats (1080i, 1080p, and 720p at all popular frame rates and 525/625). When fitted with an optional second input module, the AVM-717 can display up to four input sources simultaneously. Line-select, internal/external references and various input/function combinations can be presented in any quadrant, or as a full screen. Multimode (MLT) capability is available for special custom displays.
The AVM-717 features extensive audio and video alarm capabilities, including peak level reporting, video and Dolby® metadata, EIA-608 and 708 closed-caption detection/alarm display, and teletext and XDS processing. All real-time signal alarms have user-adjustable limits and time stamps from LTC, (D)VITC and an internal clock. Remote interfaces include 10/100Base-T Ethernet and plug-and-play USB port (supporting storage and recall of presets, frame-capture transfer and keyboard integration). The AVM-717 series video and audio test instruments feature an all-digital architecture; therefore, no periodic calibration is required. The AVM-717 seamlessly integrates into any broadcast, post production, satellite or cable facility and is the ultimate choice for quality control or compliance checking applications.
The AVM-717 also accepts up to eight AES/EBU stereo pairs, eight mono or four stereo analog inputs and embedded audio from the SDI inputs. The audio can be displayed as two-, four-, six- or eight-channel bar graph meters with a phase bar readout for each meter pair, or as CineSound™ displays for 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 channels. Audio metering includes Type I, Type IIa, Type IIb, Type I + 8, Nordic, DIN 45406, dBFS, Zero ref dBFS and custom scales. Metering also includes VU, peak, true peak, VU + peak, VU + true peak, loudness, and a custom display with adjustable attack and decay selections. Loudness and true peak measurements are performed according to the ITU-R BS.1770 standard.
