FOR-A : FRC-8000
HD Frame Rate Converter with Built In Up/Down/Cross Converter
Video and Audio Systems for Broadcast Post-Production, and Professional Video
Description
The For-A 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 advanced functions as well as excellent image quality.
In addition to HD format conversion, the new image processing board in the FRC-8000 also enables SD format conversion. Up converter, down converter, and cross converter functions are also provided for converting to various formats.
Features
FRC-8000 features include:
- Offers up conversion, down conversion, and cross conversion of HD and SD formats
- Compatible with format SDI signals such as 1080/59.94i, 1080/50i, 720/59.94p, 720/50p, 525/60, and 625/50
- Motion compensation processing - detects motion vectors of objects and generates the object's motion in interpolated frames from the amount of vector fluctuation in the frames before and after the motion
- Advanced motion estimate/compensation ability - allows motion conversion for any number of frames
- Scene Cut detection feature - automatically detects the unwanted scene changes, and eliminates motion compensation processing on this data thereby allowing fast frame rate conversion
- Text Field Automatic Detection - detects rolling text superimposed on the video, and allows optimal conversion for uncompromised character depiction
- Allows you to manually add specification of fields for static superimposed text such as date, time, program title, logo, etc, and eliminates motion compensation processing of these data
- Genlock technique offers a reference signals that ensures synchronization between video and audio signals
- Proc Amp controls - adjusts video display features such as video level, chroma level, chroma phase, and set up level
- Delay function - allows you to adjust phase difference between video and audio
- Compatible with asynchronous/synchronous digital audio signals on installing the optional FRC-70DA or FRC-70DA16
- Decodes and encodes Dolby E data AC-3 data when FRC-70D-D and FRC-70DE-E to FRC-70DA or FRC-70DA16 decoders are added
- Allows encoding and decoding of 2 channels of Dolby E data on installation of the 2 Dolby E Encoder FRC-70DE-E cards
