Video Processing

  • Proc amp controls
  • Color corrector
  • Legalizer
  • Frame rate conversion (3:2, 1:2, 2:1)
  • Delay 0-6 frames with H and V controls
  • Closed Captioning conversion (CEA-608/CEA-708)

  • Video test generator
  • Nominal video delay
    • 4K/UltraHD, 3 frames (LFR), 6 frames (HFR)
    • HD/SD, 2 frames (LFR), 4 frames (HFR)

Format Conversion

  • Convert any supported input HD/SD format to any supported 4K/UltraHD/HD/SD output format, as long as the input and output frame rates are of the same frame rate family. These three families are:
    • 59.94, 29.97, 23.98
    • 50, 25
    • 24

Scaling

  • Zoom in and out
  • Reposition
  • Region of Interest

Up-Conversion

  • SD/HD/2K to UltraHD/4K
  • SD to HD/2K
  • Hardware 10-bit
  • Zoom 14:9: results in a 4:3 image zoomed slightly to fill a 14:9 image with black side bars
  • Zoom Letterbox: results in image zoomed to fill fullscreen
  • Zoom Wide: results in a combination of zoom and horizontal stretch to fill a 16:9 screen; this setting will introduce a small aspect ratio change

Down-Conversion

  • HD/2K to SD
  • Hardware 10-bit
  • Anamorphic: fullscreen
  • Letterbox: image is reduced with black top and bottom added to image area with the aspect ratio preserved
  • Crop: image is cropped to fit new screen size

Aspect Ration Conversion

  • Letterbox: This transforms SD anamorphic material to a letterboxed image
  • H Crop: Will produce a horizontally stretched effect on the image; transforms anamorphic SD to full frame
  • SD Pillarbox: Will produce an image in the center of the screen with black borders on the left and right sides and an anamorphized image in the center
  • V Crop: Will transform SD letterbox material to an anamorphic image

Audio Processing

  • 64 x 64 mono audio matrix, route 1 to 1, 1 to many
  • Independent controls for each channel
    • Gain +18 to -18 dB in 0.5 dB steps
    • Delay -16ms to 256 ms in 20.8 us steps
    • Phase invert
  • 5.1 or 7.1 to stereo mixdown with gain adjust
  • Audio test generator

Timecode

  • SDI RP188 via SDI BNC

Reference Input

  • Blackburst or tri-level sync
  • Looping, nonterminating

Network Interface

  • 10/100/1000 Ethernet (RJ-45)
  • Embedded web server for remote control

Machine Control

  • GPI in/out, 15-pin D-connector
    • Pinout is as follows :
      1 GND 9 GPI OUT 2
      2   GPI IN 1 10   GPI I/O GND 3          
      3 GPI IN 2 11 GPI I/O GND 4
      4 GPI IN 3 12 GPI OUT 3
      5 GPI I/O GND 1           13 GPI OUT 4
      6 GPI I/O GND 2 14 NC
      7 GPI IN 4 15 GND
      8 GPI OUT 1
