There was no shortage of new products in the Snell booth, (SU1917, SU1717). Heading the parade of highlights was the IQ Modular intelligent infrastructure range, which includes more than 400 intelligent component building blocks, and 26 new 3Gbps-capable modules. Available in 76 variants, IQ Modular gives customers great flexibility in tailoring a broadcast facility to the demands of HDTV and other services.. Compatible with emerging 3Gbps standards and metadata-rich infrastructures, as well as current analog, SD, and HD standards, an IQ Modular infrastructure serves as a unified, flexible, and future-proof system for digital broadcasting.
Enhancements to existing IQ modules include the addition of a powerful detail enhancer to the IQUDC00 up/down/crossconverter with synchronizer and to the IQARC00 aspect ratio converter, both of which now provide even sharper image conversion.
The IQUDC00 is now equipped with a RGB gamut legalizer and revised conversion apertures for improved cut performance, and the converter's support for VITC, CC608-708, and Teletext subtitle metadata support and conversion help to streamline processing of digital signals.
The IQSYN21 frame synchronizer also has been enhanced with an RGB gamut legalizer, as well as SMPTE 2016 AFD support and a user-programmable caption generator.
If your facility needs the electronic version of Lego™-like building blocks, you’ll find what you need at Snell.
