The 8995UDX is a compact, broadcast-quality, fiber-ready, up/down/crossconverter and synchronizer. Conversion is of the highest quality in all modes, with pixel-adaptive motion processing. In addition, the 8995UDX 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 that includes RGB color correction with gamma and component adjustments with clip level controls on either HD or SD video. The user can also control hue, chroma, and luma similar to a traditional analog proc. amp. 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 and hot upstream video switching. VITC conversion and Closed Captioning are supported for same frame-rate conversions. 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).
