The ARC130S is a compact Broadcast-Quality
Aspect Ratio Converter with serial digital inputs
and outputs. It will aspect ratio convert in both
directions, e.g. 16:9 to 4:3 or 4:3 to 16:9, and
allows the picture area required for transmission to
be selected from the input picture.
There are twelve preset conversion ratios plus
ratios set up by the user. The user ratios can be
stored in twelve memories and are quickly
pushbutton selected when required for use.
The aspect ratio can also be remotely controlled
either via an RS-422 port, RollCall or from contact
closures via a General Purpose Interface (GPI).
The ARC130S is designed to fit in Continuity
Suites, Studio’s, Outside Broadcast Vans, etc.
It facilitates the production of master tapes for
broadcast using PAL+, D2MAC and digital
transmissions. It facilitates postproduction and
presentation of tapes mastered in 16:9 format
through the current 4:3 format transmission
system.
The ARC130S is a compact 1RU high unit for
location on the desktop or in a 19-in. rack. It will
operate in 525 and 625 line systems.
Vertical interval information is passed without
conversion.
