XVP-1801-SD

ARC & Frame Sync

The XVP-1801-SD is a dual standard (525/625) aspect ratio converter (ARC) and frame synchronizer with high quality video processing, using advanced motion adaptive de-interlacing. It is designed for use in facilities where 4:3 and 16:9 formats reside and conversion from one to the other is required. The converter features a second input which can be used as a background input to replace the black bars that would normally be there during a side panel or letterbox conversion. The ARC function offers fixed presets as well as variable user configurable aspect ratios. The support of AFD (Active Format Description) SMPTE-2016, VLI (Video Line Index) RP-186 and WSS allows the card to adjust its ARC...

FEATURES

  • SD frame synchronizer with proc amp control (full YUV and RGB level)
  • Advanced adaptive video de-interlacing for higher image quality
  • Automatic ARC, using AFD (SMPTE-2016), VLI (RP-186) and WSS detection and correct re-insertion with the output
  • Custom and fixed ARC presets
  • Background keying capability during aspect ratio conversion which allows side panels or letterbox black bars to be filled with video or graphics
  • Optional 16 channels of embedded full audio processing, shuffling and downmixing
  • Optional 4 AES inputs and 4 AES outputs
  • Perfect audio/video synchronization plus additional audio fixed delay of up to 2 seconds
  • Compatible with Grass Valley audio processing cards, including the UAP-1783, AAP-1741 and DAP-1781
  • Reference input
  • RS-422 protocol and GPI ports for automation or external device control
  • Multiple presets for save and recall
  • Thumbnail and ALM streaming over IP
  • Upgradeable to full XVP-1801 up/down/cross converter
  • Audio metadata processing (SMPTE 2020-A)
