frame when ordered with the 8900V-R GeckoFlex
Video rear module.
8981NR
270 Mb/s SDI video noise reducer module
The 8981NR is a 270 Mb/s SDI component
digital noise reducer module. This module
incorporates two different noise reduction
methods that are targeted at different sources
of noise. A recursive filter is effective for low
levels of wide-band (random) variations that
have no frame-to-frame correlation, and a
horizontal median filter is very effective for
impulse noise.
Typical applications include reduction of
random noise generated during analog
transmission or digital processing. Signals
from various sources with varying amounts
of noise resulting from poor transmission and
processing will greatly benefit from using this
product by reducing the bandwidth required
later during the MPEG compression process.
