Standards Converter

"Mach:1" provides multi-format standards conversion using a new motion compensation technology - "M.Sc" - developed to provide superb conversion performance on material containing motion.

M.Sc ("Motion Science") technology was developed using the motion processing experience gained through the multiple award-winning Ph.C program. This is the motion compensation system used in the benchmark Alchemist standards converter range, and in a range of new applications including archive restoration, flicker and unsteadiness removal and noise reduction.

Mach:1 offers high quality motion compensation in an affordable 1RU box, which opens up the prospect of on-site motion compensated standards conversion to mobile applications such as outside broadcasts, sports and ENG.
Input and output formats are 10-bit serial digital and composite video, with dual AES digital audio inputs and outputs.

An ergonomically designed front panel allows rapid access to key functions, with a LCD display providing information on signal parameters.
Other important Mach:1 features include:
• Aspect ratio conversion
• Linear conversion mode using 4 field, 4 line aperture
• 2 x SDI inputs, 2 x SDI outputs
• Composite / YC output of all world standards.
