The 5601ACO2 Automatic Changeovers are intended for use with two 5601MSC Master Clock/Sync Generators.The 5601ACO2 system uses latching relays to ensure maximum reliability and minimal disruption in the event of any failure.The complete system provides the highest level of security for television station video and time synchronization systems.The 5601ACO2 is a 2RU ACO for all outputs of the 5601MSC.Two power supplies are included as a standard feature, to alleviate any single point of failure concerns.
- Three protected switches select automatic, front panel or GPI activation of changeover
- Front panel status LEDs show the health of each of the inputs
- Front panel status LEDs show the operational modes of the changeover
- Redundant power supply standard
- Push button to show cause of last changeover
- Dual hot swappable power supplied and fans
- Hot swappable main board
- GPIO input/outputs
- Automatic changeover is a voting system based on which source has the most valid signals and that the valid signals on the present master are also on the backup
- VistaLINK® control for device configuration and status monitoring (5600ACO2 and 5601ACO2 only)
- 6 video/sync or other coaxial signals
- 10MHz frequency reference
- Word clock output
- DARS and 2 AES
- 2 Longitudinal (LTC/EBU) timecode outputs
- 8 SD/HD/3G outputs
- 2 Analog video test signal output
