6. Uncompromising commitment to picture quality
The VC-1 series faithfully converts the original source with no change in color or brightness. It supports super-blacks and super-whites, and converts video
from cameras and other source devices with all the originality intact.

7. Faithful reproduction of video characteristics
The VC-1 series reproduces the video characteristics of the original source with no interlace artifacts, pixel shifting, or other conversion problems or signal
errors. Jitter and return loss are at exceptional levels as well.

8. Support for 1080p 3G-SDI
Video signals beyond 1080i can be input and output. The VC-1 series supports both level A and level B 3G-SDI, letting you connect a wide variety of 3G-SDI
equipment. 1080i, 720p, and SD signals are accommodated automatically on connection.

9. On-board reclocker
The VC-1 series features an on-board reclocker to compensate for attenuation of SDI signals carried over long distances. This makes it possible to receive
camera-relay video while maintaining a high image quality.
