The 3025EMC is designed to support 3Gb/s, HD and SD video formats, including: 525i/59.94, 625i/50, 720p/59.94, 720p/50, 1080i/59.94, 1080i/50, 1080p/50, and 1080p/60. Each 3025EMC processes a complete Program and Preset path using a Program and Preset input. A third Emergency input allows users to quickly go to a safe feed in case of emergency.
The 3025EMC provides a Program output and a full “look-ahead” Preview of the next transition. It provides two independent Clean outputs, where video and audio are taken from either Program or Preview processing path. The 3025EMC has built-in bypass relays, which provide maximum protection for the Program and Clean feed in cases of failure.
For audio, the 3025EMC provides support for 16 channels of embedded audio on the Program, Preset, and Emergency inputs. Embedded audio is also taken from any of the other inputs to provide more audio mixing options.
The 3025AP, Advanced Audio Processing module, can be fitted with the 3025EMC, and offers IntelliGain™ as an option for Program Loudness control, Dolby E/AC-3 decoding and encoding, Dolby UpMix and Dolby DownMix. The 3025EMC board offers four MADI inputs and outputs for discrete audio. Support for discrete AES inputs and AES outputs is provided via an external audio module called the 3025EMC-48x36-AESU.

EMC Control

Manual Control • The 3025EMC system was designed for ease of use in live and automated environments. The range of control panels has been optimized for size and ease of use in single and multi-channel playout applications. All the control panels use 10 character LCD buttons, providing a dynamic control environment. Every button is user-configurable, enabling panel layouts that are operator friendly. The panel layout provides a menu system, exposing the full capability of the 3025EMC to the operator. The control panels range from a 1RU version to the full size desktop control panel.
Automated Control • Each 3025EMC channel can connect to the leading automation systems through a dedicated serial port located on every channel. This gives low latency and maximum protection against on-air problems. Crosspoint control of upstream routers is handled directly by the 3025EMC so only a single port on the automation system is required for each active channel. The control protocols used by 3025EMC are supported by the major automation vendors.
Upstream Router Control • Each 3025EMC channel can control any size of router matrix ranging from 12 inputs to 1024 inputs. For "turn-key" environments, the 3025EMC integrates seamlessly with the Evertz router product lines (from EQT to EQX). For existing routing infrastructures, the 3025EMC has support for the leading router vendors.
