VIDEO CONVERTERS
Uncompromising commitment to picture quality
The VC-1 series faithfully converts the original source with no change in color or
brightness. It supports super-blacks and super-whites, and converts video from
cameras and other source devices maintaining all aspects of the original source.
Color bar signal
[Vector scope]
Faithful conversion of color phase and chroma
[Waveform monitor]
Faithful conversion from super-blacks to super whites
Support for HDCP HDMI signals
The VC-1 series is compliant with HDCP. For example, the VC-1-DL can take
HDCP-applied HDMI input signals, apply frame synchronization or delay, and
produce HDCP-applied HDMI output. This allows the VC-1 series to be used in any
HDCP-based system with no worries.
Easy configuration with DIP switches or dedicated PC/Mac software app
DIP switches make it simple to accommodate on-site adjustments. Change the conversion direction or other
settings by simply sliding a DIP switch on the side of the unit. Delay Dials (VC-1-DL only) set the amount of delay for
video and audio. Set the amount of delay independently for video and audio in a range of 0 to 9 fields (0 to 4.5
frames). Connection to a computer via USB cable unlocks even greater versatility with advanced settings including
a memory location to lock in a favorite configuration. Control and configure multiple VC-1 units at the same time
using a USB hub.
On-board reclocker
The VC-1 series features an on-board reclocker to compensate for attenuation of
SDI signals carried over long distances. This makes it possible to receive camera-
relay video while maintaining a high image quality.
Signal before reclocking Reduction of jitter
Faithful reproduction of video characteristics
The VC-1 series reproduces the video characteristics of the original source with no
interlace artifacts, pixel shifting, or other conversion problems or signal errors. Jitter
and return loss are at absolute minimal levels.
Burst signal
[Waveform monitor]
Perfect conversion of frequency character
Support for 1080p 3G-SDI
Video signals beyond 1080i can be input and output. The VC-1 series supports both
level A and level B 3G-SDI, letting you connect a wide variety of 3G-SDI equipment.
1080i, 720p, and SD signals are accommodated also automatically on connection.
Support for workflow combining audio and video
Audio embedding and de-embedding features are provided (channel-selectable) in
the VC-1 Series. The audio embedding feature lets you place audio signals from a
different source into the video output. For example, when converting an SDI signal
to HDMI, you can use the audio embedding feature to output high-quality audio
from any of the SDI audio channels. Digital (AES/EBU) input and output are also
supported, letting you exchange sound between professional audio equipment with
no degradaton in signal. Analog input and output is supported as well making it
possible to both monitor and input audio to/from a wide variety of equipment such
as an audio console.
