Overview
The high quality Kramer DigiTOOLS 7508 CV/YC to SDI Converter is a
multi-standard converter of analog video (composite and s-Video) to
SMPTE-259M serial digital video (SDI). Many professional video units on
the market today, such as Betacam decks and DVD players have high
quality analog outputs, and the 7508 is ideal for preserving the quality, and
minimizing the artifacts, when converting to the digital domain.
In particular, the 7508:
•
Converts the SDI on 2 buffered and reclocked SDI outputs
•
Automatically detects the input standard (50/60Hz), generating the
appropriate output
•
Uses true 10-bit digitizing, making it ideal for the most demanding
applications
•
Has an RS-232 port and can be controlled via a user-friendly
Windows®-based program that can modify video parameters such
as contrast, saturation and hue, which may be stored in non-volatile
memory
To achieve the best performance:
•
Use only good quality connection cables
•
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer 7508
away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated
noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).
