- 2 x full 10bit 270Mbps SDI (broadcast quality)
- LED indicators
Overview
Digital editing facilities are widespread, but much of the source material is still analogue, as are the television monitors used to view the edited output.
The ADC272 analogue to digital converter with its 601 filters offers a low cost alternative for analogue to digital converters with full specification filters.
As an engineering tool, a pair of video converters provide an easy way to produce an SDI signal from a normal analogue signal and to check the presence of an SDI signal without the need for an SDI monitor.
An EBU colour bars generator is incorporated into the DAC271 analogue to digital converter. Switching quickly through the video output format selector switch positions invokes bars mode. Once invoked, the switch is used to select the output format in the usual manner (colour bars are available on all outputs, composite, YC, YUV and RGB). Quick switching again returns the DAC271 to normal digital-analogue conversion mode.
Both PAL 625/50Hz and NTSC 525/60Hz signals may be fed to and from the ADC / DAC. The television standard is determined by the position of an internal link.
