NVISION 8500 HYBRID: Frame sync functionality
New frame sync input card
The NVISION 8500 Hybrid Router Series Frame Sync Input Card has eight input ports and enables the simple synchronization of incoming wild feeds or signals moving
between facilities. Previously, in applications that required the processing of eight feeds, eight frame synchronizers using eight processing cards were required. This new
input card eight frame synchronizers on a single card—with 3Gbps, HD and SD all supported on the same module. The Frame Sync card supports multiple frame rates
and formats and can shuffle audio at the input.

NVISION 8500 HYBRID: Audio processing
Integrated disembed/emded output card
The NVISION 8500 Hybrid Router Series Disembed/Embed Output Card that conveniently embeds audio into any embedded audio channel location, even when managing
inputs from non-hybrid sources. The addition of this functionality within the NVISION Hybrid Routing platform enables unprecedented flexibility with embedded audio
while also greatly reducing latency introduced into the program.
The DEM/EMB card can embed audio into any embedded audio channel location without disrupting the original audio channels and can break into existing embedded
audio on a channel-by-channel basis.
This DEM/EMB card will also allow you to shuffle embedded audio that comes from a standard video source which gives you the ultimate in flexibility of your hybrid router.

NVISION 8500 HYBRID: Audio concentrators
NVISION 8900 AA/AES/MADI audio concentrators reduce cabling and installation costs
To further streamline cabling, the NVISION 8500 Hybrid routers can be used with NVISION 8900 audio concentrators. These devices convert Analog or AES to MADI,
and MADI to Analog or AES, and this can radically reduce the number of audio cables needed in broadcast infrastructures. This reduces installation costs, simplifies
troubleshooting, and reduces weight in a mobile environment.
