HD/SD Frame Rate Converter features multimodal operation.

Press Release Summary:




FRC-30 can be switched between motion compensation and linear conversions to deliver optimal results for varying source material. Compensation mode detects motion vector amount of moving object and generates its motion in frames, while linear conversion mode bases frame conversion on previous and next frames. Along with built-in up/down/cross converters, product offers support for several video formats, includes HD/SD-SDI and analog composite I/O, and measures 1 RU high and ½ RU wide.

For-A Introduces Compact HD/SD Frame Rate Converter



Fort Lee, New Jersey - FOR-A Company Limited, a leading manufacturer of video and audio systems for the broadcast and professional video industries, today announced the FRC-30 HD/SD frame rate converter, which will be showcased at the 2012 NAB Show in Las Vegas, April 16-19 (Booth C5219). Packaged in a compact form factor (1 RU high, 1/2 RU wide), the new FRC-30 can be switched between motion compensation and linear conversions to deliver optimal results for various source material.

In motion compensation mode, the FRC-30 detects the motion vector amount of a moving object and generates its motion in frames. In linear conversion mode, frame conversion is based on previous and next frames. Built-in up/down/cross converters deliver SD to HD, HD to SD, and 1080i to 720p conversions as well. The FRC-30 supports several video formats - 1080/59.94i, 1080/50i, 1080/23.98PsF, 720/59.94p, 720/50p, 525/60, and 625/50 - and includes HD/SD-SDI and analog composite I/O.

"The FRC-30 may be compact, but it's packed with functionality," said Pedro Silvestre, sales director for FOR-A Corporation of America. "With a choice of conversion modes, it provides outstanding frame rate conversion regardless of content, and offers down, and cross conversion of SD and HD content."

FOR-A will also show its modular UFM-30FRC frame rate converter, introduced at NAB last year. Designed for installation in FOR-A's UFM series of universal frames, it also provides a choice of motion compensation or linear conversions, as well as up/down/cross conversion of HD/SD-SDI and analog composite sources at various resolutions and frame rates.
