3:2 pulldown detection for NTSC and 2:2 film detection for PAL video
sources — These advanced film mode processing features help maximize
image detail and sharpness for video sources that originated from film.
When film is converted to NTSC video, the film frame rate has to be
matched to the video frame rate in a process called 3:2 pulldown. Jaggies
and other image artifacts can result if conventional deinterlacing
techniques are used on film-source video. The DVS 406’s advanced film
mode processing recognizes signals that originated from film. The
DVS 406 then applies video processing algorithms that optimize the
conversion of video that was made with the 3:2 pulldown process. This
results in richly detailed images with sharply defined lines. A similar
process is used for PAL film-source video.
Versatile mounting options — The DVS 406 can be rack mounted, or it can be
placed on a table or other furniture. Rubber feet and rack mounting
hardware are included.
Options and accessories
The DVS 406’s optional equipment includes:
• IR 901 remote control — Extron’s IR 901 (part #70-152-01) is an infrared
remote control which replicates all of the front panel controls of the
DVS 406 except the Menu and Next buttons.
• SDI input card — Serial digital interface (SDI) input can be added to the
DVS 406 and 406 A models by the installation of an SDI input card
(part #70-168-01).
• Audio I/O card — Audio input/output connectors capability can be added to
the DVS 406 and 406 D models by installing an audio card
(part #70-151-01). The captive screw connectors of the audio card supports
both balanced and unbalanced stereo audio input and output.
