Audio Signal Inputs/Outputs

AES/EBU I/O (software selectable): 8 unbalanced (BNC)

Conversion Functions (per channel)

Modes:

• Upconversion
• Aspect ratio conversion synchronization
  
  

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
  
  

Aspect ratio conversion (manual or auto): 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

Metadata:

• Closed caption CE608 <> CE708
• Timecode conversions
• Teletext subtitles WST/RDD8 conversion
  
  

Audio Functions

Embedded audio:

• 16-channel embedded audio processing
• PCM audio processing includes channel level gain and delay compensation, as well as channel level routing with L/R swap and phase invert feature
• Non-PCM processing features pair level routing and delay compensation. Dolby E data is passed with a delay to match the video and with co-timed audio frame drop or repeat
