Standards Conversion
Standards Conversion, also known as Frame Rate Conversion, is the process of converting one video
frame rate another, such as converting NTSC at 59.94 fps to PAL at 50 fps. The powerful Teranex linear
interpolation algorithm analyzes pixels between and within frames, calculating new pixels in real time to
create the new output frame rate. In this example 1080i59.94 video is converted to 1080i50 via SDI with
embedded audio on the Teranex 2D or 3D.
Power your Teranex Processor and connect your inputs and outputs.
Setting your Input
Step 1. Press the IN button on the control panel and select SDI video. Teranex will display the input video
on the LCD, automatically detect the input format and illuminate the corresponding buttons.
Step 2. Select EMBED as the audio input format.
Setting your Output
Step 1. Press the OUT button on the control panel. On the Teranex 2D, all output buttons will be
illuminated blue. On the Teranex 3D, the EMBED audio button will be blue. Select the AES or
ANLG button. AES/EBU and analog audio outputs share the XLR connectors.
Step 2. Press the 1080 button. The button will illuminate green. Select the I button for interlaced output
and the 50 button to set the frame rate. These buttons will also illuminate green.
Step 3. Using the soft menu buttons, select Change. The output video is now displayed on the LCD
and sent to all output connectors. The buttons will also illuminate blue to confirm your settings.
Setting your Frame Rate Conversion Aperture
When converting frame rates you'll need to set the appropriate frame rate aperture. Select your settings
from 0 (Drama) to 3 (Sport) depending on the amount of motion in your video. These settings are adjusted
using the soft menu buttons and rotary knob.
Step 1. Press the HOME button.
Step 2. Using the soft menu buttons, select Video>Advanced>FRC Aperture.
Step 3. Using the rotary knob, select the aperture setting most suited to your video.
Setting your Aspect Ratio
Because this standards conversion maintains an HD video format, only the ADJ aspect ratio button will
be available. If converting HD 1080i59.94 to SD 576i50, all aspect ratio settings would be available. For
more information on aspect ratio conversion see pages 17 and 65-66. Your Teranex Processor is now
ready to convert your 1080i59.94 video to 1080i50.
Pressing the IN button displays the input format on the
control panel buttons. In the above illustration, the input
format is 1080i59.94 via SDI with embedded audio.
