The 8995DNC is a compact, broadcast-quality fiber-ready downconverter. Conversion is of the highest quality, with pixel-adaptive motion processing. In addition, the 8995DNC provides the most robust signal handling with the low hysteresis synchronizer, redundant reference, and perfect-picture mode of the 8985FS. It is fully featured with color-space conversion and a powerful video proc. amp, including RGB color correction with gamma and component adjustments with Y/C clip level adjustments. Powerful embedded audio handling includes channel-level and Dolby E stream routing. PCM audio processing eliminates the clicks caused by the video synchronizer dropping or repeating frames. This module silences the effects of hot upstream video switching using a V-fade. VITC and closed caption conversion are supported for same frame-rate downconversions, making this an ideal module for playout applications. One of three types of optional SFP fiber optic submodules can be installed in the fiber optic rear cage connector to provide two fiber inputs (Dual Receiver), two fiber outputs (Dual Transmitter), or one fiber input and one fiber output (Transceiver).
