FOR-A : UFM-125TBC
Description
The FOR-A UFM 125TBC is a module-type FS/TBC. The UFM125TBC corrects time axis distortion and synchronization phases through 10-bit processing.
Features
→ Analog composite video input/output compatible. (Y/C is also supported.)→ Full frame memory to prevent picture field inversion during processing.
→ 10-bit digital decode / encode to ensure stable signals without bit dropout.
→ Unit-type FA-125 lineup. Compatible with a wide variety of system environments.
→ Hot-swap function allows boards to be removed and inserted even when the power is on.
→ Can be mounted on two different frames (casings) --UF-106A, UF-112--according to the system size.
