A really long delay...
ViViD HD-40 is designed for engineers who need to match those really long delays in their system.
ViViD HD-40 includes an 8 GB DRAM video store giving 43 seconds of HD delay or 238 seconds in SD. The delay is adjustable in seconds, frames, lines and pixels for true flexibility.
What can you use it for?
ViViD HD-40 is perfect for use as part of a profanity delay system on live broadcasts - preventing expletives, bloopers, wardrobe malfunctions, fits of coughing or technical problems from making it to air.
Or use it for any other extended delays you can think of.
It is perfect for use in the virtual studio where it can be used to offset the delay caused by the graphics generators - delaying the camera by the same amount as the virtual set graphics so that the video feed and graphics both reach the chroma keyer at the same time.
ViViD HD-40 can also be used to compensate for the delay of MPEG encoders or decoders in order to co-time transmissions, or for the delay caused by a satellite link.
It can help OB vehicles using MPEG-compressed HD radio links to remotely control wireless hand-held cameras by delaying the other signals. Alternatively it can be used in audio processing applications to match video to audio that's been delayed by Dolby E encoding or decoding.
An increasingly popular application can be found in studios, where engineers are delaying the audio mixer output to match the longest video delay in the system – and then adding video delays to everything else to make it all match.
Delay...everything
ViViD HD-40 delays not just the active picture but the entire video stream, with embedded audio and ancillary data staying with the associated video.
16 presets can be assigned and recalled through GPI, allowing different delay values to be recalled automatically by the studio control system.
Save rack space - and protect your output
You can fit 12 video delays in 2U, too. This 100mm x 266mm module saves you rack space and is housed in Crystal Vision's standard rack frames alongside any other products from the range, including the chroma keyers.
It uses the RM44 frame rear module to access the one input and three outputs, and includes relay bypass protection of the input in the event of power failure or board malfunction or removal.
Choose your control
Easy to set up and use, the flexible control options include board edge switches, an integrated control panel on the AE frames, the VisionPanel remote control panel, the SBB-4 smart button box, SNMP, the Statesman Lite PC software and the VisionWeb web browser control.

Crystal Vision is very well-known for its range of space-saving video delays, offering a suitable delay for every application.
Specs
MECHANICAL
Standard Crystal Vision module 266mm x 100mm
Weight: 200g
Power consumption: 12 Watts
VIDEO INPUT
One HD or SD input
270Mb/s or 1.5Gb/s serial compliant to SMPTE 259 and SMPTE 292-1
The video formats supported are 625, 525, 720p50, 720p59.94, 1080i50 and 1080i59.94
HD cable equalisation up to 140m with Belden 1694A or equivalent (approx. 100m with Belden 8281). SD cable equalisation >250m Belden 8281 or equivalent
Input return loss: -15dB for 5MHz to 1.5GHz
Auto 50/59.94Hz and video format selection
VIDEO OUTPUTS
Three reclocked and delayed HD or SD outputs using RM44 frame rear module
270Mb/s or 1.5Gb/s serial compliant to SMPTE 259 and SMPTE 292-1
Relay bypass protection on the RM44 helps maintain programme output. An electromechanical relay switch needs power to hold the switch in one state and will revert to the other state (board bypass) on loss of power. It prevents signal loss by mechanically connecting the input to main output 1 on complete frame power failure or board removal
Output follows the input format

REMOTE CONTROL
Software:
VisionWeb Control is available via the web server on the frame and allows operation using a standard web browser on a PC or tablet
Statesman Lite allows control from any PC on a network
SNMP monitoring and control available as a frame option
Control using ASCII and JSON protocols
Hardware:
Control from integrated control panel on Indigo 1AE-DP frame

SBB-4 smart button box connects to the frame via Ethernet and provides four programmable LCD switches (which are configured for each order). The SBB-4 uses information from VisionWeb for settings. Uses Power over Ethernet so must be used with PoE enabled switch
What outputs do I get?
Signal inputs and outputs are accessed by using an appropriate rear module.
The Indigo rear modules slot on to the back of the frame and typically feature BNC, D-Type, RJ45 and optical connectors. The single and double slot rear modules can be used with all three frame sizes, while the quad slot rear modules just fit the 2U frames.
There is one rear module available for the ViViD HD-40...
