About the Evertz 77000V2 & A77000V 2-Card w/ 7767VIP12-HSN Backplane
The Evertz 77000V2 platform, configured with the A77000V card and 7767VIP12-HSN backplane, represents a high-density, modular frame system for professional video processing and signal distribution in broadcast and production facilities. This chassis-based system is designed to house multiple, field-replaceable processing cards, allowing engineers to build a customized signal management hub tailored to specific facility needs. The A77000V card is a versatile audio/video processing module that can perform a range of functions, such as embedding, de-embedding, audio shuffling, and level control, while the 7767VIP12-HSN is a specialized backplane that provides the high-speed digital interconnect and power distribution between the cards and the system's control logic. Together, they form a scalable and reconfigurable solution for handling complex signal workflows involving 3G/HD/SD-SDI with embedded audio.
A key strength of this modular approach is its flexibility and ease of service. Cards can be inserted or removed without powering down the entire frame, minimizing downtime in a 24/7 broadcast environment. Each card, like the A77000V, operates independently but can be controlled and monitored centrally via software, often through Evertz' VistaLink management system. This allows for remote configuration, monitoring, and control of all signal processing parameters across an entire facility from a single interface. The high-speed backplane ensures low-latency, high-bandwidth communication between modules, which is critical for maintaining signal synchronization and quality in live production scenarios where timing is paramount.
The system is engineered for maximum reliability and density, packing significant processing power into a compact rack space. It is a cornerstone technology for broadcasters and content providers who need to manage a large number of audio and video signals, perform format conversions, ensure compliance with loudness standards, and prepare signals for transmission or distribution. The Evertz 77000V2 platform exemplifies the broadcast industry's move towards software-defined, hardware-accelerated infrastructures that offer both the performance of dedicated hardware and the adaptability of software-based systems.
