Improved Image Quality and Gamma Correction
4 Point Gamma Correction
The newly added 4 points Gamma Correct function enables adjustment of
bright/dark parts independently. Enhances images to have a more film-like color. Image of 4 Point
Gamma Correction on VC
Improved 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.
Example of Gamma Correction
Additional Functions on Outputs
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.

Multi-format In/Multi-format Out
Designed for a wide range of workflows in mid, post and live video
productions, the VC Series offers flexible format conversion of
Digital/Analog, HD/SD or compressed/uncompressed signals. The VC
series also accepts signals and direct connections from computer RGB
sources. A wide variety of output devices like record decks, data
projectors or plasma/LCD displays can be directly connected.
Bi-directional Conversion and Scaling
Bi-directional conversion of different formats like 59.94i, 50p etc. is
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 a variety of sync signals
including analog BB, Bi-level (SD) or Tri-level (HD). The VC Series'
built-in frame synchronizer helps to lock signals from consumer
products or computers.
Time code and embedded audio
Audio Delay Function
Audio can be precisely delayed by millisecond 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.
Designed for the Highest Quality Image
Compatible with HDV devices
Auto format detection and simultaneous
output from multiple terminals
The VC Series 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. This enables the
recording or display of a single source to multiple recording devices
or displays.
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 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.
EDIROL's audio technology also makes
simultaneous processing of the audio signal
possible.
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.
The VC Series can embed
audio from the analog
inputs to the HD-SDI/SDI or
HDV/DV signal.
Serial RS-422A Port for
remote control including
network applications
Supports direct input from computer
display. Accepts digital RGB signals
up to 1600x1200/60Hz and analog
RGB signals up to 1024x768/60Hz
