RTC2000 Reverse Transcoder Users Manual

Introduction

The Crescendo-Systems RTC2000 reverse transcoder is a highly flexible device to
convert aYPrPb component signal into a RGBHV signal. The RTC2000 will support
video formats in 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p and 720p, 1080i23/25/30 and
1080p50/59/60. It also supports computer resolutions up to UXGA (1600 x 1200
@75Hz) for the RGB pass through function.

The RTC2000 supports both color conversions for 480p (SD) and 720p/1080i (HD) in
order to provide optimum color fidelity. Although the required conversions are nearly
identical, the difference cannot be ignored when optimum quality is pursued. The
selection is automatically made based on line frequency but can be set manually if so
desired.

Although most display devices automatically fix the reference level on the incoming
video signal, the RTC2000 has an adjustable black level for optimum use in DC coupled
video systems. Additionally, the possibility exists to offer the user manual control over
the horizontal sync delay and the horizontal and vertical sync widths.
