The Evertz 500FR Compact Distribution Frame is an ideal solution for todays vast digital video distribution requirements.

It handles the high-speed requirements of HDTV as well as Analog and SDTV signals. The frame design allows extraction of modules from the front without compromising performance even at 1.5GB/s. The 500FR Compact Distribution Frame is a 3RU frame designed to house up to 16 single slot modules.

For lipsync cohesion and ease of editing, Dolby-E data is organized in blocks with lengths matching associated video frame. The decoder will match the beginning of each output block with the start of video, as provided with the genlock input. Additional delay can be dialed up by the user, up to 3 seconds. Reference video frame rate must match that assumed by the Dolby-E stream. An extra AES input is provided that can be configured as a backup channel, in the event the primary is lost, or as a voice-over source.

The 520DD-AESU is a professional Dolby audio decoder that automatically detects Dolby-E, Dolby Digital (AC3), and PCM streams in the AES input, and translates them to PCM (linear) audio. Up to 8 discrete audio channels may be contained in 1 AES stream when encoded as Dolby-E, yielding up to 4 AES PCM outputs. A fifth stereo pair is obtained as the downmix of the above multi-channel audio. It can be mono, stereo or surround (ProLogic) and may optionally be routed to the output.
