Introduction
9066 Functional Description
9066 Functional Description
Figure 1-1 shows a functional block diagram of the 9066. The 9066
upconverter also includes a full 16-channel audio embedder/de-embedder, a
12-bit analog-to-digital video converter, an 8-channel, 24-bit balanced
analog-to-digital audio converter, and a full video frame synchronizer. The
9066 also handles AFD code detection and processing, timecode support,
closed captioning support, and transfer of Dolby
® metadata.
As such, the 9066 is highly suited as a universal SD-to-HD input processing
card with comprehensive audio and video support. The video source can be
either an SD-SDI input or a SD analog video input. The up-converted video
aspect ratio can be corrected to provide proper output aspect.
Note: Some of the functions described below are available only when using the
DashBoard™, or Cobalt
® OGCP-9000 or OGCP-9000/CC Control Panels
user interfaces. Refer to User Control Interface (p. 1-18) for user interface
descriptions.
