Product Description
The P VD 5600 is a high performance SD/HD frame. Firmware options provide the ability
to easily add integral Down Conversion, SDTV Aspect Ratio Conversion capability is part
of the basic unit.
Input Video Formats
The module has one multi-format serial digital input with automatic input detection. The
module will detect the following input standards and configure the input stage
automatically for operation in the connected format.
SDTV Formats
HDTV Formats
525 / 59.94Hz
1080i / 59.94Hz
625 / 50Hz
1080i / 60Hz
1080i / 50Hz
720P / 59.94Hz
720P / 60Hz
720P / 50Hz
Output Video Formats
The module provides four SDI outputs, user assignable in two sets of two outputs; these
sets can be mapped independently to any of the internal channels. Supported output
video formats are:

The output format frequency (or frame rate) is determined by the connected reference
signal and the output will remain fixed to this reference regardless of the connected input
signals (except module is locked to signal input format). For mismatches in the input to
output frame rates (standards) the module will perform a very basic internal format
standards conversion to ensure frame rate continuity is always maintained on the module
outputs.
