The XVP-3901-UC is a highly integrated, 3Gb/HD/SD upconverter and optional video/audio signal processor, which is designed to synchronize, upconvert and process HD and SD signals for 3G/HD/SD hybrid plants. It is identical to the XVP-3901 except that it does not have cross/downconversion capabilities. It features a dual 3G/HD/SD input selector and provides multiple outputs of the selected output format. The processor performs all the upconversion, color space and aspect ratio conversion needed to maintain the chosen output formatting on the outputs, irrespective of whether the input is 3G (Level A or B), HD 1080i, HD 720p or SD.
