Conversion Functions

Modes: SD/HD/3G motion compensated

Standards Conversion: Up/down/crossconversion

Conversion linear/motion compensated

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.

Audio Functions

Analog Audio:

• Four pairs of analog inputs are individually available to any or all processing channels
• Two groups (2 pairs) of analogue 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
• Dolby-E data is passed with a delay to match the video and with co-timed audio frame drop or repeat

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 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 (Audio delay = 0 ms)
With scaling active in same frame rate:

• Ref lock/Free run – 1.5 frames
• Input lock – 1 frame + 1 ms
  
  

With same standard in & out and sync mode = Enabled:

• Ref lock/Free run – 0.5 frames
• Input lock – ~3 ms
  
  

Frame rate conversion: Any lock mode – 110 ms typical
