Lynx Technik PVD 1800 SD/HD/3G SDI Frame Synchronizer

Lynx Technik PVD 1800 SD/HD/3G SDI Frame Synchronizer

The LYNX Technik PVD 1800 is a broadcast quality compact SDI frame synchronizer with high-quality Up/Down/Cross converter and scaler for professional applications in the Broadcast, Post Production and Pro A/V industry. The frame synchronizer utilizes robust "flywheel" algorithms that will accommodate a wide variety of low quality asynchronous SDI sources. All embedded audio is extracted and delayed automatically to match the video processing delay. The module also provides up to 30 frames of programmable output delay, adjustable in frames, lines and pixels.

Key Features

• Supports SDI 3G (level A+B)/HD/SD formats (auto-detect)
• Up/Down/Cross Converter with selectable fast scale mode
• Converter automated by AFD, WSS or VI mode
• Region of Interest scaler
• Converts between 3G Level A and B Dual Link or vice versa
• Optional fiber I/O
• Auto changeover or GPI switch between electrical and optical input
• Robust "flywheel" synchronization for problematic sources
• "Cross lock" compatible reference input
• All 16 channels of audio de-embedded from SDI input
• Audio delayed to match video processing delay and re-embedded
• Integrated test pattern generator
• Up to 30 frames of programmable delay (for timing)
