Multiple SDI input ports allow manual selection of input, or failover to alternate inputs (Auto-Changeover) on loss of input conditions. Also included standard is closed captioning absence/presence detection that allows CEA 608/708 and line 21 SD CC absence or presence to be detected. Option +QC provides user-configurable Video Quality Event intelligent assessments such as black/frozen frame or audio silence. Video Quality or Closed-Captioning event status can independently be propagated for each event type as GPO, automated alert email, input routing changes, or user presets you can configure to provide any number of special actions such as routing changes or burn-in text alert messages.
Two discrete character burn strings can be inserted on output video, with each string inserted as static text and/or insert only upon LOS. Any of several standard test patterns can be inserted as an input LOS marker. A moving-box insertion can be enabled to serve as a dynamic raster confidence check even when the input video image is static. Timecode can be received and prioritized among any standard SMPTE embedded or audio LTC timecode, and in turn outputted and burned-in on the output video.
Preset save/load allows saving custom settings while allowing one-button revert to factory settings. Layered presets allow invoking changes related only to a specific area of concern (audio routing, for example) while not changing any other processing settings or aspects. The BBG-1040-4x1-CS uses a built-in web server that allows control/monitor over computers or smart devices from anywhere accessible over the web; no special apps or plug-ins are required for remote control (can also be remote-controlled using DashBoard™).
The compact 1/3-rack size of the BBG-1040-4x1-CS allows 3 units to be installed in a 1RU space (an optional mounting tray is available that provides secure mounting of the units to a standard 19” frame). GPIO allows direct input routing control and status monitoring.
