C2-7310 Rear View

C2-7310 has all of the switching, video processing and conversion capability of the C2-7210, as described in that section, plus a wide range of audio processing capabilities allowing the user to embed, de-embed, delay, mix, route and sample rate convert digital stereo audio to satisfy even the most challenging requirements.

Multiple Stereo Channels – The C2-7310 has full audio processing for an astonishing 48 channels of digital stereo audio - 16 in and 16 out via the external connectors, plus a further 16 channels that can be de-embedded from the two SD-HD-SDI inputs and processed right along with the 16 external input channels. Due to the highly flexible internal audio routing, the 16 external stereo input channels can be assigned to any of the video inputs and the 16 stereo output channels can be assigned to any of the video outputs: Composite, YC, DVI, YPbPr, RGB, YUV or SD/HD-SDI. The16 output channels can be embedded in the two HD-SDI outputs and simultaneously fed to the output connectors.

Flexible Audio Processing The superior quality of the C2-7310 means that the full 8 channels of Digital Stereo Audio of any frequency embedded within each of the two SD/HD-SDI inputs can be de-embedded and processed along with a further 16 channels of AES-3id data, frequency between 24 to 96KHz, that can be input via the HD-44 connectors, giving a total of 32 Digital Stereo Audio inputs handled simultaneously. Each Audio channel can be delayed by up to 2 seconds using exceptionally fine delay adjustment and the gain can be altered to anywhere between 0 and 800%.

A supremely high-quality sample rate conversion is also employed by the unit which enables the user to increase or decrease the sample frequency on each audio channel as required whilst ensuring optimum audio output, alternatively all of the AES audio channels can be synced to a DARS. Control data, when included in an incoming audio signal can be extracted and displayed to the user. Each Stereo Audio output can also be produced by down-mixing up to 3 uniquely delayed and scaled Stereo Audio inputs and routed to any audio output required. The C2-7310 also employs many automatic features including audio follow video and automatic audio delay to match the video processing delay.

Up to 16 AES Stereo Audio channels can be output at a frequency of 24, 32, 48, 96 KHz or DARS synchronized using the two HD-44 connectors on the back of the unit. Each of the two SDI outputs on the C2-7310 can have up to 8 channels of 48KHz Stereo Audio embedded in the video signal that is output via BNC connectors.

Due to the highly flexible internal audio routing, these 32 stereo channels (16 in and 16 out) are not restricted for use within the HD-SDI signal, but can be assigned to any of the other Composite, Component, S-Video, RGB or DVI inputs and outputs.

The 2x HD-44 connectors support AES-3id audio format directly and optional breakout units are available to interface to a wide variety of digital and analogue audio formats. Each of these optional breakout units connect to a single of the C2-7310’s HD-44 connectors, so a total of two units may be simultaneously attached to provide maximum interface flexibility.
