Overview
The 9021 is a high quality full 10-bit analog to digital decoder for converting 525 and 625 line, analog
composite, Y/C and component signals (YPbPr) to 270 Mb 4:2:2 SDI (SMPTE 259M compliant)
output with SMPTE EDH. The user can select four different Y-C separation modes (4-line adaptive, 4-
line non-adaptive, 3-line adaptive and notch filter) for composite input and three different YPbPr inputs
(BetaCam™, MII™, or SMPTE/N10) for component inputs.
Features include differential inputs, user configurable 75-ohm input termination, user Proc. gain
controls, de-jitter filter on/off, Color Bars on/off and Pedestal on/off. User Proc adjustments can be
saved and factory defaults can be restored. The configuration controls are mounted on the card edge
for in-frame adjustments.
