Page 5: Introduction
Crystal Vision Introduction 1 Introduction Up-and-down-S is a High Definition/Standard Definition serial digital synchroniser/delay module that also provides format conversion between High Definition and Standard definition and different HD formats sharing the same line rate, ideal for synchronising and converting non-studio timed signals. This is achieved by using the latest motion adaptive video de-interlacing techniques incorporating both detail and edge enhancement processing. -
Page 6: Operating Modes
• Fits in standard frames alongside HD, SD and audio products Up-and-down-S is a 100mm x 266mm module, which fits in the four standard frames and can be integrated with any boards from the company’s full product range. Up-and-down-S uses the RM34 rear module. -
Page 7: Aspect Ratio
Aspect ratio In High Definition the aspect ratio is always 16:9, Standard Definition can be 16:9 or 4:3. Up-and-down-S has a selection of aspect ratio settings for both SD inputs and SD outputs. Output aspect ratio Input / Output format... - Page 8 Crystal Vision Introduction Up-and-down-S User Manual R1.3 23/03/2009...

Page 9: Synchroniser Mode
In either mode the video delay remains fully adjustable over two complete fields. This allows the output of the Up-and-down-S to be timed into any edit suite irrespective of the timing of the black and burst reference used in synchroniser mode. -
Page 10: Audio Follow Pulse
Introduction Audio follow pulse To allow an audio delay to track the delay through the Up-and-down-S, a TTL level pulse is provided. This pulse is output every frame. The length of the pulse (the time between the rising and falling edges) is the same as the delay through the time store. -
