    The FRC-9100 uses motion compensation processing by motion vectors to convert field frequencies and enables conversion between different 12G/3G/HD frame rates, as well as up conversion from SD to 3G/HD. The FRC-9100 is ideal for converting the frame rate prior to transmitting at international sporting events, for example.
