Aurora Launches New Compact Converters and Distribution Amplifiers
January 28, 2004
Sterling Heights, MI - Aurora Video Systems has launched the first products in the company's new Diversity family of compact digital video converters and distribution amplifiers (DAs), affordable solutions for high-quality signal conversion and transfer between digital and analog capture, editing, and playback devices.
The three products announced today include a 10 bit SDI-to-YPrPb converter,
a 10 bit YPrPb-to-SDI converter, and a 10 bit SDI DA, all of which are
stand-alone, DC-powered cubes measuring approximately 3 in. by 4 in. and 1
in. in height. These lightweight stand-alone converters may be placed on a
table or in the user's rack, or mounted to the back of decks and monitors.
The two converters feature high precision, 12 bit DACs and 12 bit ADCs
capable of meeting both NTSC and PAL SMPTE 259M 4:2:2 standards. The SDI to
YPrPb converter includes an auxiliary reclocked SDI output for connecting
downstream digital devices, and the YPrPb to SDI converter offers 16x
oversampled inputs and includes two SDI outputs, the manufacturer describes.
Aurora's new 10 bit SDI DA provides one SDI input and four equalized SDI
outputs. The system's input automatically locks to any of four SMPTE 259M
data rates (143, 177, 270, and 360 Mb/s). All SDI inputs can automatically
equalize up to 300 m of coaxial cable or up to 120 m of Cat 5 UTP
cable.
