About: LYNX Technik PVD 1800 SDI Frame Synchronizer

The PVD 1800 is a broadcast quality compact SDI frame synchronizer. LYNX Technik PVD 1800 features multiformat support for SDI formats up to 3Gbit/s with optional fiber optic I/O which can be configured to automatically switch between the electrical and optical input if a signal loss is detected. Video processing utilizes robust “flywheel” synchronization that will accommodate a wide variety of low quality asynchronous SDI sources. All embedded audio is extracted and delayed automatically to match the video processing delay. Audio is free from disturbances even when dropping and adding frames. The module also provides up to 30 frames of programmable output delay, adjustable in frames, lines and pixels.

Cross Lock and Frame Rate Conversion

The frame synchronizer is fully cross lock compatible, meaning it can cross lock between different standards. With a specific reference signal connected the synchronizer will drop or add frames to achieve a correctly synchronized (frame rate converted) SDI output. During all conversions precise audio video timing is preserved and no “pops” or ”clicks” or any audio disturbances will be present (even while dropping and adding frames)

The module is fully compatible with the yelloGUI software package, so the module can be configured / controlled using a PC or MAC
