CONVERT

Convert is a multi-channel video and audio processor developed for low-latency and high-bandwidth IP and/or SDI-based infrastructures. Depending on the version and active base-licenses, Convert Hybrid is capable of processing up to 16 Full HD signals, or up to 4x UHD signals, and transport them over redundant (-7) IP streams or SDI I/O. Since a 1RU Neuron frame can contain 2 Convert Hybrids, you can process up to 32 FHD or 8 UHD channels per rack unit.

Convert IP can process up to 24 Full HD or 6 UHD IP video streams. Per rack unit (so with 2 Convert IP cards) you can process 48 Full HD or 12 UHD video streams.

A Neuron Convert can perform many video and audio processing functions. Depending on the active licenses it can perform framesyncing, audio and VANC de-embedding, video offset delay, up/down/cross conversion with high quality deinterlacers, UHD remapping, HDR convertion, color correction, VANC and audio embedding and audio gain/phase/delay functionality . Combining four FHD paths will offer UHD processing. Virtually any baseband signal can be processed, from SD all the way up to UHD.
