DA-12fs converts SDI to composite or component analog video. DA-12fs have a frame synchronizer that asynchronous video signal
recorded in the memory and reads it synchronized with an external reference, as well as other settings. It is useful for sychronizing
large number of external signals with signals from the TV station, or the capture of material from an amateur into a professional
format. With both available, composite and component (Y, Cr, Cb or RGB or YC) outputs, this unit is ideal for converting all types
of analog video. Complete ProcAmp output signal controls are provided for all output formats with adjustments: Horizontal and
Vertical Blanking, Horizontal and Vertical Position, SC Phase, Color Framing, Luma, Color, Pedestal, Sharpness, YC Delay etc. The
module is placed in the SRU-306 3RU chassis with capacity of 6 modules. Also, the device is available in standalone version.
