Instruction manual ..................................................1

The units in the changeover series automatically switch the sig-
nal from the primary signal to the backup signal when problems
are detected in the primary signal. Two input signals (primary
and backup) are connected to a changeover unit, and the unit
detects errors in the amplitude of the primary input signal.
A single unit provides 11 channels. Depending on the configura-
tion of the internal switches, SDI, AES/EBU digital audio, analog
black burst, tri-level sync, and word-clock signals can be
received by the channels.
When a unit switches from a primary signal to a backup signal, it
lights the panel LED of the channel that is causing the problem.
The LT 4441 and LT 444 can be combined with the LT 443D
Multiformat Video Generator to form a system. The LT 4442 and
LT 4441 can be combined with the LT 4400 Multiformat Video
Generator to form a system that is 2U in size.

FEATURES

Inputs and Outputs

Each unit is equipped with 11 sets of channels (each set
consists of a primary input, a backup input, and an output).

Electronic Switches (LT 4441 and LT 4442)

Electronic switches are used to switch channels 4 to 11.
Also, high-speed detection circuits are used to detect errors.
These enable units to switch to a backup signal with barely
any disturbances appearing on the screen when problems
such as interruptions occur in a primary signal.
The channel 9 and 10 inputs are dedicated inputs for
AES/EBU digital audio signals. The channel 11 input is a
dedicated input for word-clock signals. With TTL input, units
generate +5 V CMOS output.

Time until Determination Starts

The delay for starting the error monitoring at power up can
be set to FAST or SLOW depending on the rise time of the
system signal source that a unit is connected to.

Determination Criteria of the Signal Level

By using the internal preset switches, you can switch
between the level detection of SDI, NTSC or PAL analog
black burst, and HD analog tri-level sync signals. AES/EBU
digital audio and word-clock signals (on the LT 4441 and LT
4442) are received through dedicated connectors.

Error Display

When a signal level error is detected, the unit lights the error
LED on the panel as well as an LED that indicates the chan-
nel that is causing the problem. This feature allows quick
investigation of the problem.
