The 5330 converts a composite or component analog video signal to serial digital component. Its 12 bit processing and 4 x oversampling ensure clean signals that can be used in the most demanding applications. Composite signals are decoded using an adaptive comb filter. An infinitely adjustable timing system genlocks to your house reference. The built-in time base corrector/frame synchronizer allows for removal of time base error present in the composite input. The 5330 accepts asynchronous inputs and delivers serial outputs locked and timed to house reference. Robust signal handling ensures proper time base correction for virtually any source, even a consumer VHS machine. On loss of input, the output can mute to black or freeze on the last good frame of video. A Detail Enhancer recovers information that has been lost due to poor frequency response in upstream systems. The Predictive Composite Clipper mode identifies picture elements that would be illegal in analog composite, and limits color saturation and luminance excursions. Proc controls are also provided.
