Exceptional performance thanks to 10 bit processing, motion adaptive video de-interlacing, noise reduction and detail enhancement processing
Maintain your picture's colour fidelity: use the RGB and YUV lift and gain controls
Save time with presets for the six most popular aspect ratio conversions
Three presets allow 16:9 sources to be shown on a 4:3 monitor: 16:9 to 4:3 Letterbox, 16:9 to 14:9 Letterbox and 16:9 to 4:3 Full Screen

Customise your output picture with flexible size, position and crop adjustments
Change your aspect ratios live on air: will reconfigure cleanly within a single frame blanking period
Let it automatically select the aspect ratio for you: use the SMPTE 2016 AFD, Video index or WSS data embedded in the input - with live update
Help downstream equipment to select the correct aspect ratio: insert SMPTE 2016 AFD, Video index or WSS data into the output
Compensate for video delays generated by other equipment, with variable video delay of up to one frame
Passes all embedded audio with same delay as picture
Flag up faulty video and audio signals and provide warnings of any problems using Statesman alarms or SNMP traps
Save a DA in your system: gives up to five converted SDI outputs
Easy to distribute the original SDI signal: get six reclocked input loop-throughs by fitting a DA6 top board
Get an extra layer of security with relay bypass protection (on RM67 rear module)
Get integrated fibre connectivity in a single slot by fitting the FIP fibre input option or FOP fibre output option
Space-saving: 100mm x 266mm module allows 12 ARC-20MC in 2U (24 in 4U, six in 1U, two in desk top box)
Flexible control: board edge, GPIs, frame active front panel, Ethernet control panel, SNMP or PC software
