SP-14 Broadcast Grade HD & SD Multi–Format Motion–Compensated Frame Rate Converter & Broadcast Up/Down/Cross Converter

Broadcast Grade HD & SD Multi–Format Motion–Compensated Frame Rate Converter & Broadcast Up/Down/Cross Converter

The SP−14 is a broadcast grade MEMC frame rate/standards converter. It accepts HD, SD & computer graphics signals, performs frame rate conversion, format conversion, frame synchronization, scan conversion and aspect ratio conversion as required, as well as embedded timecode processing and closed caption conversion. It is also applies powerful noise reduction & image enhancement to improve poor quality video.
