The Evertz 7711UC-AES4-HD+F is a specialized modular card designed for installation within a 7700-series backplane chassis, providing high-density, high-quality up-conversion of standard-definition video sources to high-definition formats while integrating sophisticated four-channel AES audio processing. This combination card is engineered for broadcast and production facilities that need to modernize legacy SD content—such as archival footage, older camera feeds, or SD satellite channels—for inclusion in HD broadcasts or streams. It not only handles the video upscaling with advanced motion-adaptive de-interlacing and detail enhancement but also manages the associated audio by providing four discrete AES/EBU audio inputs that can be cleanly embedded into the newly generated HD-SDI output, creating a fully compliant, synchronous HD program stream from composite or SDI sources.

The card excels in its video processing capabilities, utilizing a 10-bit processing path and polyphase scaling algorithms to up-convert signals to 720p or 1080i resolutions with minimal artifacts. It supports a wide range of input standards, including NTSC/PAL composite and SD-SDI, applying noise reduction and color correction to improve the final image quality. On the audio side, the four AES inputs offer sample rate conversion and lip-sync delay adjustment relative to the video, ensuring perfect audio-video synchronization in the output. The "+F" designation typically indicates the inclusion of an advanced frame synchronizer, which genlocks the output to a house reference, making the card invaluable for live switching environments where timing is critical.

As a module within the scalable 7700-series ecosystem, the 7711UC-AES4-HD+F benefits from the backplane's centralized control, monitoring, and redundant power. It can be mixed and matched with other cards in the same chassis to build a comprehensive signal processing bay. Configuration and monitoring are managed via the chassis's web-based GUI or SNMP, allowing for remote adjustment of parameters like scaling mode, audio levels, and embedding positions. This card represents a powerful, all-in-one solution for broadcasters needing to bridge the gap between aging SD infrastructure and modern HD production workflows, delivering both video up-conversion and professional audio handling in a single, reliable slot.
