Snell and Wilcox TBS180TX Advanced Time Base Corrector

Description

The
Snell & Wilcox TBS180TX
provides multi-standard Y/C, Composite and SDI timebase correction and synchronization. The Composite input automatically detects
PAL, NTSC, NTSC-J, PAL-N, PAL-M, N4.43
and SECAM, and is sampled and decoded using an adaptive comb filter to ensure optimum decoding performance. The signal correction features include luminance and chrominance gain, black level, NTSC hue, vertical and horizontal enhancers, RGB gamut legalizer, YC horizontal timing and picture position.
Rugged sync and clock recovery ensures reliable operation with unstable and noisy inputs. In addition a powerful frame recursive noise reducer automatically eliminates much background noise providing much improved performance over adaptive technology. A sophisticated motion detector seamlessly switches off the noise reduction in moving picture areas. The broadcast quality 12-bit output encoder is fully genlockable to a composite reference and supports
PAL, NTSC, NTSC-J, PAL-N, PAL-M, N4.43
and SECAM.
The
Snell & Wilcox TBS180TX
will also operate as a transcoder between any of the available standards of the same line rate. Serial digital component outputs are available simultaneously on the
Snell & Wilcox TBS180TX
. The Snell & Wilcox
TBS180TX
has two separate AES inputs that can be embedded into any of the eight pairs of the SDI output. Individual channel routing is also provided, along with two AES outputs.
Other features include freeze, pattern generation, and GPI control / audio delay flag output. Full RollCall remote control is available including RollTrack for audio delay tracking. The TBS180AV versions have an analog audio I/O interface and the TX versions have a blank front panel with RollCall only control.
