DAC-8016A is 12-bit broadcast quality encoder which accepts an SDI input signal and converts to analog NTSC or PAL, providing four outputs. One or two reclocked SDI outputs are also provided. DAC-8016A uses new techniques in frame synchronization and latest available encoding technology to provide high-quality video output. DAC-8016A has rich set of features such as cross color reduction, frame synchronization (5 modes are available), extensive proc amp controls, heads-up video overlay display and serial port display. Following Ross tradition to be leader in single card conversion solutions, all of features available for DAC-8016A are contained on single DA-sized card. 10-bit encoding process and full 10-bit signal path provides excellent performance with all types of picture sources. All signal processing and encoding is done entirely in digital domain to achieve highest level of precision.
