AJA Video Shows Five Converters
September 16, 2004
Grass Valley, CA - AJA Video Systems is delivering five digital converters for HD and SDI related applications, including new miniature and rack-mount units. One converter, the HDP HD-SDI/SDI to DVI-D and audio converter, is making its debut; the four remaining converters have been recently released.
The HDP is a miniature converter for LCD or Plasma monitors that uses a very high-quality scaling engine to automatically size 4 x 3 or 16 x 9 HD or SD inputs to virtually any DVI-D monitor, the manufacturer describes. For appropriate monitor configurations, scaling is automatic at 1:1. The HDP will also adapt the input frame rate for monitor compatibility. Suggested price is $790 U.S.
Accepts SDI or HD-SDI
Automatically adapts to any LCD monitor up to 1920 x 1200
High quality scaling engine for proper display of 4 x 3 or 16 x 9 content
Scaling is 1 to 1 for appropriate monitor configurations
2 channel audio output
2 HD-SDI/SDI looping outputs
Flexible 5-18V power supply
RACK-MOUNTED CONVERTERS
R10CE 1x4 SDI DA and 10-bit Component/Composite Analog Converter
The R10CE is an SDI distribution amplifier and universal monitoring D/A converter that provides four equalized and re-clocked SDI outputs along with four analog monitoring outputs. The four analog outputs can be configured to a wide variety of formats including NTSC/PAL, YC (S-Video), YPbPr (SMPTE, EBU-N10), Betacam or RGB. A PLL jitter filter/memory reduces the effects of SD jitter on the analog outputs. The R10CE fits the AJA R-Series Rack Mount Frames, and is compatible with other standard racks. Suggested price is $695 U.S.
RH10UC SDI to HD-SDI Upconverter
The RH10UC is a 10-bit SD to HD up-converter. Using motion-adaptive de-interlacing and high quality digital scalers, the RH10UC provides excellent Broadcast quality HD video from SD sources. Output HD video is selectable between 720p and 1080I formats. 4 x 3 to 16 x 9 aspect ratio conversion is selectable between 4 x 3 pillarbox, 14 x 9 crop, 16 x 9 anamorphic, and 16 x 9 zoom. Input SD ITU Rec. 601 color space is converted to ITU Rec. 709. The RH10UC passes 8 channel embedded audio with a compensating delay. Additionally, the RH10UC can operate as a stand-alone HD or SD Frame Synchronizer. The RH10UC is compatible with AJA's FR1 or FR2 frames. Suggested price is $2,990 U.S.
RH10DA Dual Rate SD/HD 1 x 8 Re-Clocking Distribution Amplifier
The RH10DA is a multi-standard Dual Rate 1x8 SDI/HD-SDI Distribution Amplifier. The input is re-clocked and equalized to 100/300 meters (HD/SD) of coax cable. The RH10DA automatically configures to 143, 177, 270, 360mb, or 1.485gb SDI inputs. The re-clock function can be by-passed with an on-board jumper. Suggested price is $1,000 U.S.
MINIATURE CONVERTER
HD10DA 1x6 HD/SD Distribution Amplifier
The HD10DA is a miniature, low-cost 1x6 SD/HD (dual-rate) re-clocking distribution amplifier. Featuring six separately buffered HD-SDI outputs, the HD10DA provides automatic input cable re-clocking and equalization to 125 meters. Suggested price is $695 U.S.
