Roland VC-200HD Bi-Directional Multi-Format Converter VC200HD

Edirol / Roland VC-200HD Features

• Designed for the Highest Quality Image: The VC Series uses high quality A/D and D/A converters for input and output along with internal 4:4:4 10 bit signal processing. From simple format conversion to MPEG encode/decode to complex frame rate conversions, the VC Series delivers professional results.
• Compatible with HDV devices: Compatible with wide variety of HDV cameras and VTR's from Sony, Canon and JVC, the VC Series offers a high quality processor for encoding and decoding HDV in real-time. Roland's audio technology also makes simultaneous processing of the audio signal possible.
• 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.
• 4-Point Gamma Correction: The newly added 4 points Gamma Correct function enables adjustment of bright/dark part independently. Enhances images to have a more film-like color.
• 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.
• 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 content.
• Remote Control: You can now remotely control parameter setup of the VC from external devices, like a PC, via RS-422A Remote Terminal. This can be also used for parameter data backup.
• 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.
• Auto format detection and simultaneous output from multiple terminals: The VC 300HD/VC-200HD features automatic detection of the input source and simultaneous output of the converted signal to multiple terminals such as SDI, IEEE 1394, DVI and analog component.
• Bi-directional conversion and scaling: Bi-directional conversion of different formats including 59.94p, 50i, etc. are possible with the VC Series. Multiple resolutions like 480i/p,720p or 1080i can be input/output along with NTSC/PAL conversion.
• Gen lock with external devices: The input and output to and from the VC series can be gen-locked with external devices. The VC supports variety of sync signals including analog BB, Bi-level (SD) or Tri-level (HD).
• Time code and embedded audio: When performing HD-SDI/SDI <> HDV/DV conversion, the VC Series can pass the original time code and audio stream signals. The audio embedded in the HD-SDI or SDI signal can be separated and sent from the analog outputs.
• Audio Delay Function: Audio can be precisely delayed by milliseconds or frames to compensate for the video delay caused by frame synchronizing or conversion processing. The Audio Delay function makes the perfect "lip sync" possible.
