PD-ECO is a modular and 2×1 auto-sync emergency changeover specially designed to work in a PANDORA frame. It performs synchronization according to the external reference signal or the main signal. The main input SD-SDI signal and the backup input SD-SDI signal are automatically synchronous for seamless and clean switching.

PD-ECO provides two SD-SDI inputs (MAIN, BACK-UP) and two outputs (SDI, CVBS/SDI). The SDI output channel supports by-pass protection, which ensures the program can be output without interruption; and the SDI/CVBS output channel can be configured for either SD-SDI output or CVBS output as needed.

PD-ECO detects the presence of SD-SDI signal and the embedded audio on a real-time basis. It identifies the absent signal according to the predetermined conditions. In case of loss, PD-ECO will route the corresponding valid signal to the output channel under automation; while send alarm to the control panel to alert the operator’s for manual switching. PD-ECO supports GPI triggering and dedicated control panel.

PD-ECO is housed in a 1RU or 2RU PANDORA frame. It supports PANDORA-based network monitoring. Its parameters can be configured and adjusted through PANDORA router and the supporting control software which is also used to monitor the operating status and signal status of the module.
