VC -1 Series
Delay Dials ( VC-1-DL only)
and DIP switches on side panel
High quality and rugged construction
for the rigors of front-line use.
The exterior plating is aluminum at 2 millimeters thick. The connectors
laid out inside the exterior plates are fastened to the chassis with nuts
and bolts. This makes for a heavy-duty specification that can keep
the connectors from coming loose even with frequent cable changes,
as well as withstanding impact and drops. Every connector has an LED
input indicator enabling you to confirm the status of signal transmission
at a glance. The series is built for uncompromising reliability that includes
accurate operation even over long periods of continuous use thanks to a
design featuring exceptional heat-radiating efficiency.
Easy configuration with DIP switches
or dedicated PC/Mac software app.
DIP switches make it simple to accommodate on-site requirements.
Change the conversion direction or other settings by simply sliding a DIP
switch on the side of the unit. Delay Dials (VC-1-DL only) set the amount
of delay for video and audio. Set the amount of delay independently for
video and audio in a range of 0 to 9 fields (0 to 4.5 frames). Connection
to a computer via USB cable unlocks even greater versatility with
advanced settings including a memory location to lock in a favorite
configuration. Control and configure multiple VC-1 units at the same
time using a USB hub.
Cutaway areas in the exterior plate
enable you to fasten the unit to
tripods or the like using velcro or
elastic ties. This makes for convenient
placement and setup even during
live on-site use.
Support for workflow
combining audio and video.

(channel-selectable) in the VC-1 Series. The audio embedding feature
lets you place audio signals from a different source into the video output.
For example, when converting an SDI signal to HDMI, you can use the
audio embedding feature to output high-quality audio from any of the SDI
audio channels. Digital (AES/EBU) input and output are also supported,
letting you exchange sound between professional audio equipment with no
degradaton in signal. Analog input and output is supported as well making
it possible to both monitor and input audio to/from a wide variety of
equipment such as an audio console.
Support for HDCP HDMI signals.
* HDCP-applied HDMI signals cannot be converted to SDI
and recorded to HDMI recorders and editors.
The VC-1 series is compliant with HDCP. For example, the VC-1-DL can
take HDCP-applied HDMI input signals, apply frame synchronization or
delay, and produce HDCP-applied HDMI output. This allows the VC-1 series
to be used in any HDCP-based system with no worries.
