 |
Short-delay broadcast down converter and distribution amplifier with timecode and closed captions capability |
 |
Accepts 3Gb/s, HD or SD input |
 |
Use it for all your down conversion requirements: can down convert 1080p 3Gb/s, 720p HD, 1080i HD and SD at both 50Hz and 59.94Hz |
 |
Get flexible outputs from a 3Gb/s input: configure the three video outputs as either mixtures of HD digital and analogue (YUV or RGB), or as mixtures of SD digital and analogue (composite, Y/C, YUV and RGB) |
 |
Get flexible outputs from a 720p HD, 1080i HD or SD input: configure the three video outputs as mixtures of SD digital and analogue (composite, Y/C, YUV and RGB) |
 |
Distribute your input signals widely: with two reclocked loop-throughs – or eight loop-throughs with DA6 top board fitted |
 |
Unique level of image quality at this price level - sophisticated two dimensional filtering gives broadcast results without the complication of looking at multiple fields or movement detection |
 |
Optimise the performance for your material with four different filter characteristics (sharpest, sharp, soft and softest) |
 |
Includes video proc-amp with RGB and YUV lift and gain adjustments |
 |
Short processing delay (just 16 or 52 SD lines) - no need to compensate audio signals for the video delay |
 |
Match other delays in system: select one of the three fixed video delay settings (minimum, 52 SD lines or frame) - or use the variable video delay, adjustable up to one frame in one line steps |
 |
Passes four groups of embedded audio |
 |
Ideal for timecode users: takes the HD timecode information (ATC) and translates it to the SD DVITC format |
 |
Ideal for timecode users: uses the Ancillary Timecode to get the interlace phasing correct when down converting from 1080p or 720p |
 |
Ideal for closed captions users:
takes the HD closed captions (to the CEA-708 standard) and extracts the data it needs to insert the corresponding SD closed captions (to CEA-608) |
 |
Includes HD to SD aspect ratio converter, with 16:9 Anamorphic, 16:9 to 4:3 Letterbox, 16:9 to 14:9 Letterbox and 16:9 to 4:3 Full Screen with centre cut |
 |
Create customised aspect ratios with size, position and crop controls |
 |
Ensures the picture is always the right shape by coping with both analogue and digital SD blanking widths |
 |
Automatically select your output aspect ratio according to the SMPTE 2016 data embedded in the HD input video |
 |
Insert SMPTE 2016 AFD data or WSS into the output for aspect ratio correction by downstream equipment |
 |
Flag up faulty video and audio signals with signal probe |
 |
Get integrated fibre connectivity in a single slot by fitting the FIP fibre input option or FOP fibre output option to the board |
 |
Space-saving: 100mm x 266mm module allows 12 Q-Down123 in 2U (24 in 4U, six in 1U, two in desk top box) |
 |
Easy to use, with flexible control including board edge, GPI, frame active front panel, Ethernet control panel, SNMP or PC software |
 |
Flexible GPIs: with two fixed as preset-recalling GPI inputs, two fixed as fault-reporting GPI outputs and two bi-directional and configurable as either GPIs inputs or outputs |
 |
Replaces Q-Down-AT 3G |
