Frame Rate Converter
Check Variable Frame Rate Effects
On-Site, Line-Convert from 720p to
1080p, and Down-Convert to SD
The AJ-FRC27 converts the frame rates of images recorded using
the AJ-HDC27H. It extracts the frames you designate, records them to an
internal HDD, and plays them back. This lets you play fast-motion or
slow-motion effects in their actual, intended timeframes.
You can select the playback frame rate from 24-, 25- or 60-fps, up-
convert to 1080/24psF or 1080/50i, down-convert to SDTV (576/50i),
working either on-line or off. If frame rate conversion is not required, you
can also directly convert the input signal into EE-through for output.

PAL (60p) sauce: 720xp over 60p( = 24, 25, 30, 60)
1080/24psF, 1080/25psF, 1080/50i,
1080/60i (24p), 576/50i
NTSC (59.94p) sauce: 720xp over 59.94p( = 24, 25, 30, 60)
1080/23.98psF, 1080/59.94i (23.98p), 480/59.94i
Data can be automatically recorded by connecting to the AJ-HDC27H via
HD-SDI, and clip files of cuts that you designate by linking to the
camera's REC/STOP control can be stored to an HDD for backup. These
functions are also supported during studio editing, and the resulting tapes
can be played on a DVCPRO HD VTR, making it possible to automatically
create a clip of each cut by simple frame rate converter recording.
Management of OK/NG cuts is fast and easy.
During playback, a pre-roll image of up to 10 seconds in length can be
automatically inserted and output with a continuous time code. This helps
to speed up shooting by letting you use the leading/trailing parts of each
cut as editing material, something that was difficult to do in conventional
HD cinema production.
The AJ-FRC27's compact, half-rack size and 5U profile makes it good fit
for applications ranging from studio use to EFP or relay use.
