The Evertz 7800PS is a power supply module designed for the Evertz 7800 series modular platform. Its primary function is to provide stable, regulated DC power to all the signal processing cards installed within a 7800 series chassis. In mission-critical broadcast and telecom environments, power integrity is paramount for 24/7 operation. This module is engineered as a hot-swappable, redundant component, meaning that if one power supply fails or needs to be replaced, the other can immediately take over the full load without interrupting the operation of the chassis. This redundancy is a fundamental design feature that ensures system uptime and facilitates easy maintenance.

Engineered for reliability and safety, the 7800PS module converts the facility's AC mains voltage (typically 100-240V AC, auto-ranging) into the low-voltage DC required by the sensitive electronics on the processing cards. It incorporates protection circuits against over-voltage, over-current, and short-circuit conditions to safeguard both the power supply itself and the cards it serves. The module typically includes status indicators (LEDs) for power good, fault conditions, and load sharing when used in a redundant pair. It is designed to slide easily into a dedicated bay in the chassis, making installation and replacement straightforward without the need for tools or complex wiring.

As a critical infrastructure component, the Evertz 7800PS power supply is the unseen workhorse that ensures the stability of the entire modular system. Its hot-swappable, redundant design is a cornerstone of the high-availability architecture expected in professional broadcast equipment. By providing clean, reliable, and fault-tolerant power, it forms the essential foundation upon which the video, audio, and data processing functions of the 7800 series platform depend.
