Cross Conversion
15.1 Introduction
From release 4.1 K2 Edge supports cross conversion between different broadcast signals.
This means that the system is capable of transforming a broadcast signal from one type
towards another. For example, a playout system renders and broadcasts a [email protected]
signal. When using a live-input of type NTSC the K2 Edge will detect that the input and output
formats are not compatible (but related) and will automatically insert a cross conversion filter.
This cross conversion filter will deinterlace/interlace the frames and correct the frame rate.
Cross conversion is automatically applied to clips, SDI-feeds and animations as indicated in
the tables in chapter 15.2.
A number of services embedded in clips and in the VBI-data in SDI-streams, such as AFD,
ATC and CDP, are extracted from the input source and made available in the output, possibly
converted to a suitable alternative format (for example ATC and VITC).
