Miranda launches single card 3Gbps/HD/SD video and audio processor

Miranda Technologies has launched a new Densite Series
3Gbps/HD/SD video and audio processor, called the XVP-3901, which provides all
the functions needed for advanced signal processing on a single card.
“ Now, instead of using multiple
interfacing cards and dedicated devices, broadcasters will be able to use a
single module for high quality video and audio processing ” , says Gilbert
Besnard, Director – Infrastructure Management, at Miranda Technologies. “ A one
card solution minimizes costs, simplifies video and audio integration, and also
substantially reduces cabling requirements. ”
The XVP-3901 is ideal for adapting feeds
to match a facility ’ s house format. It can accept 3Gbps/HD/SD feeds, and
continuously deliver independent 3G/HD and SD outputs. The processor performs
all the necessary up/down/cross conversion, color space and aspect ratio
conversion to maintain the chosen output formatting, irrespective of the input
format.
An optional fiber cartridge simplifies
fiber installation, and provides easy selection between fiber and BNC
inputs/outputs. The processor supports AFD automatic aspect ratio control, and
offers background keying so that side panels, or top/bottom panels, introduced
by up/down conversion can be filled with video or graphics.
The XVP-3901 performs processing of 16
channels of embedded audio, with automatic delay of all 16 channels (four
groups) to keep lip-sync. Full audio processing, including shuffling,
down-mixing, dynamic processing (limiter, compressor, and expander), as well as
four AES input and four AES output channels, are available as options.
For less demanding applications, the
XVP-3901 is available in four simpler versions, including an upconverter, a
cross converter, a frame synchronizer/ARC, and a downconverter. These reduced
functionality cards can be easily upgraded in the field to the full XVP
specification, thereby simplifying maintenance and offering flexibility for the
future.
