LT 4440 CHANGEOVER
![]() |
The LT 4440 can be configured in the system with the LT 4400 MULTIFORMAT VIDEO GENERATOR.

The LT 4440 is a changeover unit that switches to the backup system when failures occur.
GENERAL
The LT 4440 is a changeover unit that automatically switches the signal from the primary signal to the backup signal when problems are detected in the primary signal.
Two systems of input signals (primary and backup) are connected to the LT 4440, and the LT 4440 detects errors on the amplitude of the primary input signal.
A single LT 4440 provides 11 channels. HD-SDI (channels 1 to 6 only), SD-SDI, AES/EBU digital audio, analog black burst signal, and tri-level sync signals are supported through the configuration of the internal switch.
If a switch occurs from the primary signal to the backup signal, the LT 4440 indicates the channel that caused the problem on the LED front panel.
The LT 4440 can be configured in the system with the LT 4400 MULTIFORMAT VIDEO GENERATOR.

FEATURES
- Input/Output
Provides 11 channels (a single channel consists of PRIMARY input, BACKUP input, and OUTPUT output) on a single LT 4440. - Delay for Starting the Monitor
The delay for starting the error monitor at power up can be set to FAST or SLOW depending on the rise time of the system signal source being connected. - Determination Criteria of the Signal Level
The internal preset switch allows level detection switching among SD-SDI, AES/EBU digital audio, NTSC or PAL analog black burst, HD analog tri-level sync, HD-SDI (only supported on channels 1 to 6), and other signals. - Error Display
When a signal level error is detected, the LT 4440 illuminates the error LED on the panel as well as the LED panel that indicates the channel causing the problem. This feature allows quick investigation of the problem.
