MAJOR FEATURES

This unit converts SMPTE259M-standard SD digital serial signal
input to the SMPTE292M-standard (1080I or 720P) HD digital
serial signal for output.

Conversion modes are provided for input NTSC video signals
with an aspect ratio of 4:3 (standard), in the letter box format or
squeezed.

The delay time for video conversion is added to the embedded
audio to synchronize audio and video for output.

Input signal can be cropped (in the 4:3 mode, independently for
the left and right sides)

Background color can be set with hue, saturation and lightness.

It is possible to set or show the model name (up to 10
characters).

Each function can be set on the front panel with the LCD. The
unit can also be remote-controlled via the 9-pin connector on the
rear panel (RS-485 or RS-232C).

Menu settings can be saved in memory and loaded from
memory.
Four independent memories are provided to store menu settings.
Stored menu settings can be recalled as required.

Compact design allows this unit to be installed in a 1U EIA rack.

NOTES ON SETTINGS
AND USE

●

When the menu item <Reference> is set to [INPUT] and there is
no SD input signal, output video signals may be distorted. In this
case, input external sync signals and set <Reference> to [BB] or
[HD-SYNC]. (

p. 10).

●

When the menu item <Reference> is set to [BB] or [HD-SYNC]
and these external sync signals are not input or are incorrect,
output video signals may be distorted. In this case, system
phase cannot be assured. (

p.10)
