ARC15 - High-end bi-directional manual controlled aspect ratio converter with digital and analog outputs
Description
The ARC15 is a manual controlled high quality Aspect Ratio Converter. It features optimized conversion between different aspect ratios such as 4:3, 13:9,14:9, 15:9, 16:9 and 21:9 with full 10-bit resolution (20-bit internal). High quality vertical filtering is reached by using a temporal (3 field), 12-taps FIR filter. The aspect ratios can be switched manual by Cortex or the SCP08. Input and outputs are SDI, 10-bit serial digital video (270 Mb). No genlock reference is needed because the total delay of the ARC15 is fixed. An analog preview monitoring output is provided with several comprehensive functions, including a scaling cage. For transmission applications where WSS or VI control is needed the ARC15 is the solution.
