PC or local network. Video Formats The OG-UDC does not convert frame rates—it works with the input frame rate. The only exception is a 3:2 function where 23.98 is converted to 29.97 (and 24 is converted to 30). If a reference is provided, it must be in the same frame rate hierarchy as the input video (e.g., 23.98/29.97/59.94, 25/50, or 24/30/60). -
