Conversion Functions

Modes: SD/HD/3G Linear/motion compensated frame rate

Conversion processing:

Still process: Detects still images and applies an aperture with full (progressive) vertical frequency response

Enhanced still: Adds field motion detection to still process. Prevents artifacts on moving repetitive patterns

AFD (SMPTE ST 2016), VI (RP186), WSS (L23)

SD input format: Normal 4:3, Anamorphic 16:9, Letterbox 14:9, Letterbox 16:9

SD output format: Normal 4:3, Anamorphic 16:9, Letterbox 14:9, Letterbox 16:9

Auto zoom: On/Off

Manual zoom: Zoom ±20%

Safe area marker: Off, 16:9, 4:3

Manual controls: size, aspect, pan, tilt

Wide range of ARC presets including 702 sample line mode

Audio Functions

Analog Audio:

  • Four pairs of analog inputs are individually available to any or all processing channels
  • Two groups (2 pairs) of analog output are separately assignable to any processing channel
  • Headroom +24 dBu; balanced connection

AES Audio:

  • Four AES audio inputs are individually available to any or all processing channels
  • Four AES audio outputs (48 kHz) are separately assignable to any processing channel
  • AES input is auto-detected as PCM (32-96 kHz) or non-PCM (48 kHz locked to relevant video input)

Embedded Audio:

  • Each processing channel includes 16-channel embedded audio processing
  • PCM audio processing includes channel level gain and delay compensation, as well as channel level routing/shuffle with audio phase inversion
  • Non-PCM processing features pair level routing and delay compensation
