Enhancement
To control aliasing in down conversion and to add a subjective impression of sharpness in upconversion
Vertical enhancement:
The V Enhance function enables controlled attenuation and gain to be applied to the chosen vertical frequency bands
Frequency band selection (Low, Med, High) with 5 preset enhancement levels (Soft 2,Soft 1, Normal, Sharp 1, Sharp 2)
Horizontal enhancement:
The H Enhance function enables controlled gain to be applied to the chosen horizontal frequency bands
Frequency band selection (Med, High), with 5 preset enhancement levels 0-4
Horizontal filter:
H filter frequency determines the frequency band in which the H filter shape function is applied
- 5 preset levels (Low 2, Low 1, Normal, High 1, High 2)
H filter Shape determines the sharpness of the output by changing the rate of anti-alias filter cut-off in horizontal frequencies
- 5 preset levels (Soft 2, Soft 1, Normal, Sharp 1, Sharp 2)
Noise reduction: Spatial, Recursive Y/C alignment: Corrects for up-stream luma chroma displacement

Throughput Delay
Video processing delay:
- field = 16.7 or 20 ms
- frame = 33.3 or 40 ms
With scaling active in same frame rate:
- Ref lock/Free run – between 3 and 5 fields + ~200 µs
- Input lock (SDI) – 3 fields + 1 ms
With scaling active in 525/59i output:*
- Ref lock/Free run – between 2 and 4 fields + ~200 µs
- Input lock (SDI) – 2 fields + 1 ms
With same standard in & out and Sync mode = Enabled:
- Ref lock/Free run – between ~200 µs and 1 frame + ~200 µs
- Input lock (SDI) – ~1 ms
Frame rate conversion:
- Any lock mode – 110 ms typical
Audio processing delay:
Automatically tracks the video processing delay
* Throughput delay increases with low frame rate (≤30 Hz) inputs or outputs
