Connect Every Piece of Your World
The VC series can convert a variety of source signals to
the format you desire. The VC series of multi-format
converters is designed for all stages of video production
and a central piece of your production work flow.

Supports 24p Frame Rates
Cinema frame rates like 24p and 23.98p are now supported to enable conversion of footage shot with a variety of cameras.
* Supported frame rates vary depending on Input/Output terminals. Refer to the chart on the opposite side of this document.

Improved Image Quality and Gamma Correction
4 Point Gamma Correction
The newly added 4 points Gamma Correct function enables adjustment of
bright/dark parts independently. Enhances images to have a more film-like color.

Gamma Correction on VC
Improved Image Quality
Carefully optimized algorithm of the built-in scaler has resulted in further improvements in the image quality of the VC.
Highly accurate processing is achieved in all types of conversion - up, down and cross-conversion.
Example of Gamma Correction
Additional Functions on Outputs
SDI thru output function (*)
You can select the SDI (HD/SD) output to be pre-processor or post-processor.
This enables a monitor output or split output capability.

Copy Protection on i.LINK output
You can add CGMS-D (Copy Generation
Management System - Digital) to the output
signal. This enables limitation to copy of
digital contents.
Newly Added Functions for Daily Operations
User Presets
Parameters like input signal, conversion or processing can be
saved to an internal memory. Up to 3 presets can be saved and
enables convenient recall.

Remote Control
You can now remotely control parameter setup of the VC from
external devices, like a PC and over a network, via RS-422A
Remote Terminal. This can be also used for parameter data backup.
