HD/SD Frame Rate Converter
FRC-8000 |
 |
 |
The FRC-8000 is a multi-format frame rate converter for both HD and SD. Based on FOR-A's highly-successful HD Frame Rate Converter FRC-7000 with motion compensation technology, the FRC-8000 features a host of more advanced functions. In addition to HD format conversion, the new image processing board in the FRC-8000 also enables SD format conversion. An up converter, down converter, and cross converter functions are also provided for converting to various formats.
 HD/SD Multi-format Support:
The FRC-8000 features HD-SDI and SD-SDI input and output for input and frame rate conversion of a wide range of format signals, including 1080i, 720p, NTSC, and PAL.
Up, Down, and Cross Converters:
Up, down, and cross converters are included not only for frame rate conversion, but also up conversion from SD signals to HD signals, down conversion from HD signals to SD signals, and cross conversion between 1080i and 720p, all using a single FRC-8000 unit.
Frame rate conversion with motion compensation processing:
Includes the proven motion compensation processing technology of the FRC-7000. Realizes frame rate conversion with minimal juddering by detecting motion vector of an object and generating the motion of it in the interpolated frame from amount of vector fluctuation in the frames before and after.
Scene cut detection function:
With function to detect scene cuts, scene changes are automatically detected so that frame rate conversion is performed without using motion compensation processing on unrelated data for the frames before and after scene cuts.
2:3 Sequence Detection:
When using 1080/60i or 1080/59.94i video that has been pulled down at 2:3, the 24 frames before pull-down can be detected from the video for realizing optimum motion compensation and frame rate conversion.
Text field automatic detection/manual setting function:
Automatically detects rolling text superimposed on the video and able to make optimal conversion for uncompromised character depiction. Also allows manual specification of fields for static superimposed text (date, time, program title, logo, etc.), so that these portions can be treated alone without performing motion compensation processing.
Process Control:
Process control is possible for post-conversion video. The video level, chroma level, chroma phase, setup level, and clips can be adjusted to produce the optimum video.
Genlock:
The video and audio signals in frame rate conversion are output in synchronization with sync supplied internally or externally. Two independent input terminal channels are provided for sync, and tri-level sync or BB can be selected for input.
Dolby E 2-channel Encode/Decode Support:
Two Dolby E Encoder FRC-70DE-E cards and two Dolby E/AC-3 Decoder FRC-70D-D cards can be installed on the optional Digital Audio Card FRC-70DA16 for enabling the encoding and decoding of two channels of Dolby E data. The FRC-8000 by itself can support multi-channel audio conversion.
