ENC-1103

DESCRIPTION

The ENC-1103 is a high-quality encoder with 12-bit

conversion allowing operators to convert a SDI signal to

Composite, CAV or RGB. The composite outputs can be

NTSC, PAL or PAL-M and the component outputs can be

SMPTE, BETACAM or GBR formats. With its on-board

Genlock and Video Proc-Amp, the card provides flexible

system integration. An optional Frame Sync provides infinite

timing adjustment relative to an external reference. When

embedded audio is required to be separated into discrete

channels, the built-in audio demux (24-bit) allows up to 8

channels (2 groups) to be passed to an audio card. New

technology includes thumbnail generation and an optional

Waveform/Vectorscope over IP of the output signal which

allows operators to control and see the changes made to

the signal.

This card operates with the MSB-1121 Monitoring Switching

Bridge which allows the output of any module in the Densité

frame to be monitored.

Features and Benefits

• SDI isolated input w/active loop-through

• External reference input w/passive loop-through

• Up to six (6) Composite / two (2) CAV analog video

outputs

• 12-bit D to A video conversion

• Line comb pre-filter selection for NTSC

• Video processing controls

• Hot-switch detection and handling

• Frame Sync Option provides timing, full phasing and

freeze modes

• Thumbnail Generation

• Waveform/Vector over IP option (operates with

iControl)

• Provides output to Monitoring Switching Bridge option

(MSB-1121)

• De-embedding of 8 channels (2 groups) of audio to a

linked audio card (ex: UAP-1781)
