7814 Series Dual HDTV Up/Down/Cross Converters
Revision 1.1.3 Page - 1
1. OVERVIEW
The 7814 series of products are Dual Broadcast Quality Up/Down/Cross Converters that convert between
common SD/SMPTE 259M and HD/SMPTE 292M video signals. The 7814UDX-HD-2 and 7814UDX-
AES8-HD-2 have full up/down/cross conversion capabilities whereas the 7814UC-HD-2/7814UC-AES8-
HD-2 has up-conversion capabilities and the 7814HDC-HD-2/7814HDC-AES8-HD-2 have down-
conversion capabilities. In addition, the 7814XC-HD-2/7814XC-AES8-HD-2 has cross conversion
capabilities. The following table outlines the basic functionality provided by each module. Note that with
the –3G versions of these cards, convert between SD/SMPTE 259M, HD/SMPTE 292M and single link
1920x1080p59.94/50 video signals that are supported*.

as well as the –AES8, –3G,
* References to 3G, SMPTE 424M/SMPTE 425 and single link 1080p59.94/50 refer 10 bit 4:2:2 1080p59.94/50 signals (Level A or B in SMPTE 425M)
References to dual link 1080p59.94/50 refer to SMPTE 372M mapping for 1080p59.94/50 4:2:2 10 bit data format only.
When set to output 372M dual link, PGM OUT1/2 are assigned for LINK A and PGM OUT3 is assigned to LINK B output.
Initial release will not support +CF option for 1080p59.94/50 output signals
