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)

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

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

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
