7837CDM, 7837CDM-A4

Composite Analog Video A to D Converter with Frame Synchronizer

The 7837CDM line of composite analog to serial digital converters are broadcast The 7837CDM series is fully SNMP enabled when used in conjunction with a
quality decoders with an extensive list of features. High quality analog audio 7700FC frame controller card. With full SNMP capabilities, the 7837CDM series
A/D converters can be packaged with the decoder to create a video/audio frame can also be controlled by any SNMP enabled Evertz® control panel like the
synchronizer with audio embedding. CP-2200E or the CP-2232, amongst others. In addition to SNMP control, the
7837CDM series can be controlled locally used its internal On-Screen-Display
Within the 7837CDM series, adaptive 3D comb filtering technology is utilized capabilities.
to eliminate moving artifacts typically introduced during the decoding process.
This makes the 7837CDM series ideal for use in applications where the signal
is destined to enter compression systems. The 7837CDM series utilizes 12 bit
video ADCs for superior precision and image quality.

Features & Benefits

• One input analog video input • User configurable luma detail enhancement
• One SMPTE ST 259-C video input • User selectable noise reduction
