1.2. 7780D4-ASI

OVERVIEW

The 7780D4-ASI is a single card, single slot time division de-multiplexing a single 7780M4-ASI
270Mb/s signal compatible with SMPTE 259M-C transport, used for transporting up to four DVB-ASI
transport streams.

7780D4-ASI Features:

•

Single card TDM demultiplexer for four DVB-ASI transport streams

•

Adjacent outputs unaffected by loss of any DVB-ASI input feed at the 7780M4-ASI TDM Mux

•

Fully hot-swappable from front of frame

•

Monitor port output is user-selectable from the four ASI outputs

•

Comprehensive signal and card status monitoring via four digit card edge display or remotely

through SNMP and VistaLINK

•

VistaLINK

capability is available when modules are used with the 3RU 7700FR-C frame and a

7700FC VistaLINK

Frame Controller module in slot 1 of the frame

•

Occupies one card slot & can be housed in a standalone frame, a 1RU frame holding up to 3

modules or a 3RU frame holding up to 15 modules
