GeckoFlex 8950ADC Component A-to-D Converter

The 8950ADC converts a component analog video signal from analog VTRs and switchers to serial digital, which can then be routed through a digital router or switcher, or stored on a digital video disk recorder. It offers 2.5 horizontal lines of user-controllable delay to adjust the output timing, and inserts EDH code to help track errors downstream. All possible adjustments to this card can be performed directly on the module. When the 8900NET card is installed in the frame, you gain immediate access to remote control and monitoring.
