Conversion Functions
Modes: SD/HD/3G Linear/motion compensated frame rate
Conversion processing:
Still process: Detects still images and applies an aperture with full (progressive) vertical frequency response
Enhanced still: Adds field motion detection to still process. Prevents artifacts on moving repetitive patterns

Auto zoom: On/Off
Manual zoom: Zoom ±20%
Safe area marker: Off, 16:9, 4:3
Manual controls: size, aspect, pan, tilt
Wide range of ARC presets including 702 sample line mode
Audio Functions
Analog Audio:
- Four pairs of analog inputs are individually available to any or all processing channels
- Two groups (2 pairs) of analog output are separately assignable to any processing channel
- Headroom +24 dBu; balanced connection
AES Audio:
- Four AES audio inputs are individually available to any or all processing channels
- Four AES audio outputs (48 kHz) are separately assignable to any processing channel
- AES input is auto-detected as PCM (32-96 kHz) or non-PCM (48 kHz locked to relevant video input)
Embedded Audio:
- Each processing channel includes 16-channel embedded audio processing
- PCM audio processing includes channel level gain and delay compensation, as well as channel level routing/shuffle with audio phase inversion
- Non-PCM processing features pair level routing and delay compensation
