New converters, distribution amp join TV One SDI product group



ERLANGER, KY, February 20, 2005--Simultaneously making their industry debut from TV One are a new high-performance SDI-to-analog converter and analog-to-SDI converter (models SD-220DA and SD-210AD), an 8-bit SDI-to-analog converter (model 1T-SDI-V), and a 1x8 SDI distribution amplifier (model SD-108M).

Designed expressly for broadcast and professional applications, TV One's SD-220DA SDI-to-analog converter offers dependable 10-bit SDI to analog conversion with re-clocking and equalization of the input signal at distances of up to nearly 1,000 feet from the source, providing quality double-shielded coaxial cable is used. Providing NTSC, NTSC-J, PAL, or PAL-N output, the device is capable of managing 525 or 625 line signals, and is controlled via buttons found on its front panel and an LCD display. Component video output is menu-selectable as either RGB or YUV in SMPTE or Betacam formats, while an integral video processor facilitates adjustment of parameters including luminance, chrominance, setup, hue, and sharpness. Housed in a metal desktop case, the unit is optionally offered as a rackmount assembly.

A multi-standard analog video-to-SDI converter, the SD-210AD incorporates 12-bit A/D converters providing 10-bit video decoding. Accepting NTSC, PAL-B, G, N, M, and SECAM inputs, the unit handles 525 or 625 line signals. Component video (YUV) input is menu-selectable in either SMPTE or Betacam formats. Just like the SD-220DA, front panel controls and an LCD display are used to govern the actions of an integral video processor providing adjustment for luminance, chrominance, setup, hue, and sharpness. A desktop metal case comes standard with each unit once again, and a rackmount assembly is offered optionally.

Part of TV One's One-Task™ line, an ultra-compact product group dedicated to performing a single specific function without any unnecessary complexity, the 1T-SDI-V SDI-to-analog converter handles 525 or 625 line signals and provides NTSC, PAL, PAL-N, and PAL-M output. Front panel dip switches facilitate selection of the output standard; a composite and S-Video output are included as well.

Last among the new SDI products to join the TV One catalog is the SD-108M SDI distribution amplifier. Capable of automatically detecting inputs of 143, 177, 270, and 360 Mbits/sec, the device provides eight outputs with re-clocking and equalization to greatly improve upon jitter stability.

Now shipping worldwide, all of TV One's new SDI products can be seen at this year's NSCA Expo in Orlando in booth #137.
