The Densite series XVP-1801-DC offers high quality downconversion with aspect ratio conversion and frame synchronization. It offers many advanced features, including AFD support and background keying, with optional 16-channel embedded audio processing. The superior conversion quality of the XVP at both 50 and 59.94 Hz stems from multiple technologies, including advanced motion adaptive de-interlacing and anti-ringing. To ensure that downconverted television is presented in the correct aspect ratio when aired, the XVP module supports AFD (Active Format Description) SMPTE-2016. This provides automatic aspect ratio control using embedded control commands, and this prevents on-air aspect ratio errors such as the postage stamp effect. In addition to AFD, the XVP also supports VLI (Video Line Index) RP-186 and WSS, which allows the card to adjust its ARC automatically without any external intervention.
