Evertz Automatic Changeover (5601ACO2) – USED

Description

In today’s fast-paced world of video production, it is crucial to have reliable and efficient tools that ensure seamless operations. That’s where the Evertz Automatic Changeover (5601ACO2) come into play. Designed to work in conjunction with the 5601MSC Master Clock/Sync Generators, these changeover provide the highest level of security for video and time synchronization systems.

The Evertz Automatic Changeover (5601ACO2) are specifically designed to work seamlessly with two 5601MSC Master Clock/Sync Generators. These changeover utilize latching relays to ensure maximum reliability and minimal disruption in the event of any failure. With the 5601ACO2, you can rest assured that your video and time synchronization systems are in safe hands.

One of the standout features of the 5601ACO2 is its comprehensive system that provides the highest level of security for video and time synchronization systems. With two power supplies included as a standard feature, the 5601ACO2 eliminates any single point of failure concerns, ensuring uninterrupted operations.

The Evertz Automatic Changeover (5601ACO2) comes packed with a range of features that make them an indispensable tool for video production professionals. Let’s take a closer look at some of the key features:

Automatic and Manual Changeover: The 5601ACO2 offers both automatic and manual changeover modes. In automatic mode, the changeover system monitors all signals from both 5601MSC units to detect any abnormality. If an abnormality is detected, the 5601ACO2’s circuitry triggers, seamlessly switching to the backup 5601MSC. In manual mode, the changeover can be operated from a GPI or from the front panel switch.

Enhanced Security: The 5601ACO2 features three protected switches for added security. These switches include an AUTO/MANUAL switch, a GPI/FRONT PANEL switch, and an A/B select switch for manual changeover. The front panel status LEDs provide real-time information about the health of the two 5601MSC units and indicate which one is active.

Selectable Voting: The 5601ACO2 offers selectable voting for auto changeover features. This feature allows you to selectively include or exclude individual inputs in the voting process, driving the auto changeover logic. Please note that this feature is only available on the 5601ACO2 and 5600ACO2 models.

Easy Installation: To facilitate installation, the 5601ACO2 is equipped with 2×6 pin terminal blocks that bring the connections from the 5601MSC units. The outputs from the 5601MSC units are passed straight through the 5601ACO2, ensuring a streamlined installation process.

Synchronization and Timing: The 5601ACO2 ensures that all outputs on one 5601MSC have the same timing as those on the other. This synchronization is achieved by locking both 5601MSC units to the same frequency and phase source, such as GPS or genlocking one 5601MSC to the other. The 5601ACO2 also features the “Syncro” mode, which guarantees identical phasing of the independent black outputs.

Investing in the Evertz Automatic Changeover (5601ACO2) brings a multitude of benefits to your video production workflow. Let’s explore some of the key advantages:

Reliable and Secure: The 5601ACO2 ensures maximum reliability and minimal disruption in the event of any failure. With its latching relays and redundant power supplies, you can trust that your video and time synchronization systems are secure.

Seamless Changeover: The automatic changeover feature of the 5601ACO2 guarantees a seamless transition between the primary and backup 5601MSC units. This ensures uninterrupted operations and minimizes any potential downtime.

Enhanced Control and Monitoring: The front panel status LEDs provide real-time information about the health of the 5601MSC units, allowing for easy monitoring and troubleshooting. The manual changeover option provides additional control, giving you the flexibility to switch between the primary and backup units as needed.

Flexible Voting Options: The selectable voting feature of the 5601ACO2 allows you to customize the auto changeover logic based on your specific requirements. This flexibility ensures that the changeover system operates exactly how you want it to, providing peace of mind in critical situations.

Streamlined Installation: The 5601ACO2 is designed with ease of installation in mind. The terminal blocks and pass-through outputs simplify the wiring process, saving you time and effort during setup.

Precise Synchronization: With the 5601ACO2, you can ensure that all outputs on both 5601MSC units are perfectly synchronized. This synchronization is crucial for maintaining the integrity of your video and time synchronization systems, resulting in high-quality and accurate content.
