4.7.2.2 Input Lock

Output video, if the same line standard, is locked to the selected input video source. When converting between line standards this mode is not available.



4.7.2.3 Float

In this stabilized or ‘floating mode’ the output will always follow shortly after the input, so preventing lip-sync errors and frame drop / repeat. When converting between line standards this mode is not available.

4.7.2.4 Freerun

Output video is locked to an internal reference clock.

4.8 More

4.8.1 More: Additional Menu Items

The More menu enables further menus to be accessed. Rotate the knob to the desired function then press select.

4.8.1.4 Out 525:

This allows the composite 525 standard output type to be selected.

Press select, then rotate the knob to show the NTSC, NTSC-J or PALM output video options then press select again..

4.8.1.5 Out 625:


Press select, then rotate the knob to show the PAL or PALN output video options then press select.

4.8.2 Decoder AGC:

The automatic gain control (AGC) function examines the input sync level and adjusts the luminance and chrominance gain to compensate for overall signal level attenuation. Use this control when the input video signal levels are low and automatic correction is desired.

Press the function selection button B to Enable and Disable the Decoder AGC function.

Note: The text in the upper right hand area of the display shows the previous function and the text in the lower right hand area shows the next function.

Note: The unit does not time out with the freeze function. Use the back button.



4.8.2.1 Decoder ACC:

Press the function selection button B to Enable and Disable the Decoder ACC function.

4.8.2.2 Decoder CTI:

The chroma transient improvement (CTI) control examines the input video data. It detects transitions of chroma and enhances chroma edges in order to artificially restore lost color bandwidth.

Use this function when the input video has chroma bandwidth limitations.

Press the function selection button B to Enable and Disable the Decoder CTI function.

4.8.2.3 Decoder NR:

The digital noise reduction is based on the assumption that high frequency signals with low amplitude are probably noise and their removal improves picture quality. Improvements can be seen on most material so this function is on by default.

Press the function selection button B to Enable and Disable the Decoder NR function.

4.8.2.4 Comb Filter

The comb filter employs a 5-line adaptive 2Dcomb filter that separates chrominance and luminance when decoding a composite video signal. It adapts to the video standard and signal quality automatically. This control improves the decoder performance and should only be switched off if the operator needs to see the source through only a low pass filter.

Press the function selection button B to Enable and Disable the Comb Filter function.

4.12.8 More

This screen allows various functions to be setup.

4.12.8.1 Decoder

Settings for the decoder may be selected with function.

4.12.8.2 AGC

The automatic gain control (AGC) function examines the input sync level and adjusts the luminance and chrominance gain to compensate for overall signal level attenuation. Check this control when the input video signal levels are low and automatic correction is desired.

4.12.8.3 ACC

The automatic color gain control (ACC) function examines the input burst amplitude and adjusts chrominance gain to compensate for chroma level attenuation. Check this control when chroma levels are low compared to luminance. This may occur when using YC installations or composite from RF links.

4.12.8.4 CTI

The chroma transient improvement (CTI) control examines the input video data. It detects transitions of chroma and enhances chroma edges in order to artificially restore lost color bandwidth. Use this function when the input video has chroma bandwidth limitations.

4.12.8.5 Decoder NR:

The digital noise reduction is based on the assumption that high frequency signals with low amplitude are probably noise and their removal improves picture quality. Improvements can be seen on most material so this function is on by default.

4.12.8.6 Comb Filter

The comb filter employs a 5-line adaptive 2Dcomb filter that separates chrominance and luminance when decoding a composite video signal. It adapts to the video standard and signal quality automatically. This control improves the decoder performance and should only be switched off if the operator needs to see the source through only a low pass filter.

4.12.8.7 Encoder

This allows the type filtering for the luminance signal of the encoder to be selected.

4.12.8.8 Default Output

When the input signal is lost this allows a signal to be chosen to become the output signal.

5. Technical Data

5.1 CVR600UDV SDI, DV and Composite Standards Converter

Broadcast quality standards converter and synchronizer with AES and embedded audio

The CVR600UDV is a multi-standard broadcast quality 12-bit sampling, 10-bit processing standards converter, synchronizer, aspect ratio converter, noise reducer and time base stabilizer with SDI, DV, composite and YC interfaces. Standards conversion between 525 and 625 line standards (NTSC/PAL) employs a powerful 20 point, 4-field, 5-line interpolation aperture to give smooth motion and maximum vertical resolution. Embedded audio is processed as well as providing unbalanced AES audio interfaces.



5.1.1 Features

• Standards Converter and Aspect ratio converter

• Synchronization and time base stabilization

• ARC with presets and size controls

• Adaptive recursive Noise Reduction with automatic noise level detection

• 20 point vertical-temporal aperture

• 12-bit decoding with 5-line comb filter

• 12-bit encoding

• Inputs PAL, NTSC, NTSC-J, NTSC4.4, PAL-N, PAL-M, SECAM with automatic input detection

• Outputs PAL, NTSC, NTSC-J, PAL-N, PAL-M

• 4 channel (2 pair) embedded audio processing

• Seamless PCM audio tracking delay with manual offset – up to 2.5s

• Pass through for all HANC/VANC data in synchronize mode

• Options for balanced / unbalanced AES and balanced analogue interfaces

• Unique genlock 'Floating mode*'

• Composite inputs tolerant to noise and errors

• Video gain, black level, chroma gain, NTSC hue

• RollCall compatible via USB link

• Compact ½ rack width with optional rack mount kit. Low power (no fan)

• Optional external PSU for redundancy

* Floating Mode - Without a reference the output will either free-run or lock to a stabilized input sync if operating in synchronize mode. In this stabilized or ‘floating mode’ the output will always follow shortly after the input, so preventing lip-sync errors and frame drop / repeat. The inputs are highly tolerant to unstable and noisy sources, while the synchronizer always creates correctly aligned images, even during sync disturbances and asynchronous input switches.

5.1.2 Applications

• Universal Analog / Digital interface

• Audio embedding and extraction

• Satellite down-link and radio links

• Ingest / PC capture pre-processing

• Duplication

• VHS dubbing
