IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol withi
n an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “Dangerous voltage”
within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a
risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user
to the presence of important operating and maintenance (Servicing) instructions
in the literature accompanying the product.
•Read these instructions
•Keep these instructions.
•Heed all warnings.
•Follow all instructions.
•Do not use this apparatus near water
•Clean only with dry cloth.
•Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
•Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
•Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong.
The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into
your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
•Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS
TO RAIN OR MOISTURE
WARNING
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO DRIPPING OR SPLASHING AND ENSURE THAT NO
OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS ARE PLACED ON THE EQUIPMENT
WARNING
TO COMPLETELY DISCONNECT THIS EQUIPMENT FROM THE AC MAINS, DISCONNECT THE
POWER SUPPLY CORD PLUG FROM THE AC RECEPTACLE
WARNING
THE MAINS PLUG OF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD SHALL REMAIN READILY OPERABLE

1. OVERVIEW
The 7814 series of products are Dual Broadcast Quality Up/Down/Cross Converters that convert between
common SD/SMPTE 259M and HD/SMPTE 292M video signals. The 7814UDX-HD-2 and 7814UDX-
AES8-HD-2 have full up/down/cross conversion capabilities whereas the 7814UC-HD-2/7814UC-AES8-
HD-2 has up-conversion capabilities and the 7814HDC-HD-2/7814HDC-AES8-HD-2 have down-
conversion capabilities. In addition, the 7814XC-HD-2/7814XC-AES8-HD-2 has cross conversion
capabilities. The following table outlines the basic functionality provided by each module. Note that with
the –3G versions of these cards, convert between SD/SMPTE 259M, HD/SMPTE 292M and single link
1920x1080p59.94/50 video signals that are supported*.

7814 Series Dual HDTV Up/Down/Cross Converters
Page - 2 Revision 1.1.3
All 7814 series modules include integrated frame synchronization capabilities and have an external
Genlock input for adjusting output video timing. In addition, the cards support FRAME REFERENCE
inputs as supported on the 7700FR-G and the 7800FR. Upon loss of an input signal, the integrated frame
synchronizers may be set to FREEZE on the last frame of good video or to output BLACK video or BLUE
video. The 7814UDX series incorporates advanced motion adaptive spatial-temporal (3D) noise reduction.
The 7814UDX series also incorporates new de-interlacing technologies for superior resolution and artifact
reduction:
•Pixel adaptive motion processing that maintains maximum vertical resolution
•Advanced directional edge interpolation that minimizes “jaggies” typically seen when
converting interlaced video to progressive video
•Advanced film mode processing that delivers mathematically lossless de-interlacing of video
content with embedded 3:2 and 2:2 pull-down
The 7814 series supports broadcast quality scaling resources and provides standard as well as
completely user defined aspect ratio conversions. In addition, these modules support AFD (SMPTE 2016)
based steering of aspect ratio conversions and can re-stamp AFD signals on the output video. AFD driven
transitions between particular ARC modes are frame accurate and glitch free. These modules support
automatic colour space conversion (ITU rec. 709 ↔ ITU rec. 601) as appropriate for the particular
conversion being performed.
A wide range of YCbCr/RGB video proc capabilities are integrated into the 7814 series products. These
include YCbCr gain and offset controls in addition to RGB based gain/colour legalization/gamma
correction capabilities. Video level, Hue and Saturation controls are also available.
The 7814 series products support 16 channels of embedded audio per path. Embedded audio is
processed with audio delay that matches video delay. Additional audio delay is also available. Full audio
proc capabilities are supported including per channel audio gain, audio routing/channel swapping and
inversion control. Surround sound (5.1 PCM) to stereo down mixing is supported (Lt/Rt or LoRo). The -
AES8 versions of the 7814 series modules support 8x discrete AES inputs and support 8x AES outputs
per path. AES outputs can carry different audio than the audio that is being embedded. For more
advanced applications, advanced audio processing elements are available like the stereo to 5.1 up mixing
(+UMX) and IntelliGain Loudness Management (+IG).
These modules are SNMP and VistaLINK® capable when used in conjunction with a 7700FC/7800FC
frame controller card in slot 1 of the 7800FR. In addition, card control can also be performed using a
mini-adjent Jar and a direct connection to the rear panels Ethernet port (Not available at time of writing).

1.1. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
SD or HD video can be supplied to the PGM A or PGM B input for either path. Either PGM A or PGM B
may be selected for video processing and up/down/cross conversion. With the –3G versions of these
modules, single link 1920x1080p59.94/50 signals may be supplied to converter inputs. 7814 series
modules support 10 bit 4:2:2, 1920x1080p59.94 single link signals with Level A or Level B formatting per
SMPTE 425M. All modules include integrated frame synchronization capabilities and have an external
genlock input for adjusting output video timing. In addition, the cards support FRAME REFERENCE inputs
as supported on the 7700FR-G and the 7800FR.
The video signal selected for processing (PGM A or PGM B) is routed through a number of advanced
processing stages including frame synchronization, audio/Dolby metadata extraction, noise reduction, de-
interlacing, aspect ratio conversion, up/down/cross conversion, video proc adjustment and detail
enhancement. De-embedded audio is re-inserted into the outgoing video signal with audio delay matching
video path processing delay.
Within the audio processing block, audio delay is matched to track video delay. In addition, channel
swapping, gain and inversion processing is available. Down-mixed audio is also generated in this block.
8x AES inputs and 8x AES outputs are supported per path on –AES8 versions of all modules. AES
outputs can carry different audio than the audio that is being embedded. On –AES8 versions, stereo to
5.1 up mixing is also supported with the +UMX2 option.
Figure 1-1, provides the block diagram for the UDX, the UC, the XC and the HDC variations of the 7814
series products. Figure 1-2 depicts the audio processing block on all -AES8 variations of the 7814 series
products
