GXT100 - Dual 3Gb/s, HD and SD input, frame synchronizer, up/down/cross converter, embedder and de-embedder

Description

The GXT100 are frame synchronizers and 16 channel embedders and de-embedders combined with ultra high-quality up/down/cross converter. The dual input capability can be used as an emergency bypass switch. The optimized scaling and filter algorithms ensure crisp broadcast ready pictures from a native HD source, by use of a 64 tap FIR filters. This card is designed as a transmission output module that enables simultaneous feeding of HD, SD (with embedded audio). Add-on cards can be used as audio in and output cards. All products can be up- or down graded with a software key.
