Key Features
10-bit signal processing•
Four NTSC/PAL outputs•
Two reclocked SDI outputs•
Proc. amp controls: luma, black, chroma, •
and hue
Full frame output phasing with 8900FSS •
submodule
Vernier timing controls •
Two built-in confidence test signals•
Dual reference inputs for multiformat •
facilities
EDH detection to track signal errors•
Remote control via frame Ethernet I/F•
The 8960ENC converts a serial component
digital signal to NTSC or PAL composite analog.
It can interface with analog VTRs, composite
analog production switchers and analog
transmitters, and accepts the 8900FSS submodule to allow output to be synchronized to
an external reference and accurately timed.
