AJA D10AD 10-bit Component/Composite to SDI Converter User Manual — Introduction
Introduction
The D10AD provides excellent quality 10-bit conversion of component or
composite analog video to SDI—with EDH. The D10AD accepts YPbPr (SMPTE,
EBU-N10), Betacam, or RGB component inputs and NTSC/PAL or YC (S-Video)
composite inputs. When using composite sources, the D10AD offers a 4-Line
Adaptive Comb Filter for high quality decoding. The comb filter can be switched to
2-line or notch modes for minimum delay requirements. NTSC/PAL configuration
is automatic. Video format, AGC, H/V blanking, and pedestal are all user
configurable via dipswitches.
Note:
The D10AD requires a Time Base Correct source. Operation is not
recommended from VTRs, laser disks, etc., without Time Base Correction (TBC).
