Description

The ADC-816MC is an IC chip under the product category of electronic components. It is an analog composite to SDI decoder that features 10-bit decoding with a five-line adaptive comb filter and 12-bit analog to digital conversion. It is designed to convert analog PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, or NTSC composite signals to a component SDI signal and is most suitable for broadcast or production situations. It can handle difficult signals such as satellite or microwave feeds, has extensive Proc Amp controls, and can detect NTSC/PAL. It also has four SDI outputs and comes with a 5-year transferable warranty. The ADC-816MC can fit into the Ross 8000 series digital frames, with four cards in the DFR-8104A (1RU) and up to ten cards in the DFR-8110A (2RU).
