The UDC-8225A is a universal cross-converter designed for broadcast use. It can provide SD to HD up-conversion, HD to SD down-conversion, as well as HD to HD cross-conversion. The UDC-8225A supports all popular standard-definition and high-definition video formats including 480i, 576i, 720p, 1080i. The format of incoming video is automatically detected, simplifying system setup. The UDC-8225A converts the incoming SDI video to any other video definition. Using advanced video de-interlacing algorithms, dynamic edge detection, adaptive noise reduction circuitry and full 10-bit processing, format conversion is performed with the highest possible picture quality. As part of the format conversion process, a flexible aspect ratio converter allows the video to be resized to a number of standard as well as user definable aspect ratios. The UDC-8225A incorporates a video frame synchronizer, allowing the output video to be timed to a local or frame-wide video reference.
