The AVS-816/HDD is an HD SD SDI video
switcher with AES audio follow. This unit is a
wide band-width video/audio vertical interval
switcher designed for the video professional in
mind. It features compact modular design which
allows it to handle video and AES audio. The unit
has sixteen channels of video and AES audio.
Digital and analog switching modules for both
video and audio may be mixed in any combination
for complete system flexibility. The inputs are non-
looping and offer outstanding return loss
performance.
Audio and video break-away are selected by a
single switch on the front panel. Dual LED’s on the
source selection and follow switch indicate follow
or break-away. The AVS-816/HDD allows the user
to efficiently and economically route or delegate
multiple video and audio signals.
The AES audio inputs use standard BNC
connectors. The Weco 3-pin connectors may be
ordered as an option for balanced audio.

The digital audio I/O features full transformer
isolation to eliminate the possibility of ground loop
interference. Switching is accomplished during the
vertical Interval by using the vertical sync derived
from the video at the output stage. In a similar
fashion, digital audio switching takes place during
the audio sample preamble. Up to 32 switchers
can be controlled by the computer software.
The AVS-816/HDD may be controlled by a serial
data feed of either RS-232 or RS-422/485
interface standards, selectable by a simple internal
DIP switch. A remote control panel is also
available which utilizes the common RJ-11
modular connector along with the RS-485 interface
standard. For automated system applications, an
optional GPI interface is available.
The serial communication protocol is compatible
with existing Link video and audio switchers and
remote control panels. For integration into existing
systems , the AVS-816/HDD can be preset to
respond to that instruction set as well.
