HD/SD A to D Converter
By: FOR-A
Video and Audio Systems for Broadcast Post-Production, and Professional Video
FOR-A : MC-10AD
Description
The For-A MC-10AD enables conversion of HD or SD format analog signals to SDI signals and incorporates FOR-A’s signal processing technology to provide high-quality video suitable for broadcasting. A built-in frame synchronizer allows the building of systems with HDV camcorders that do not have external synchronization. With its compact and lightweight DC adapter, it supplies optimum signals for broadcasting, editing, and live applications, with the same mobility as that of a conventional camcorder.
