OVERVIEW

The Evertz HD9510UC Upconverter converts a standard definition 525i/59.94 4:2:2 (SMPTE-259M-C)
input signal to 1080i/59.94, 1035i/59.94 or 720p/59.94 high definition (SMPTE 292M) video format.
Advanced ASIC design results in optimal quality up-conversion with minimum artifacts. The HD9150UC
also handles conversion to 480p/59.94 in a SMPTE 292M bitstream. (SMPTE 349M)
The Evertz Upconverter provides complete support for 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratio conversion. The system
provides access to the common 4:3 to 16:9 choices; 16:9 anamorphic stretch, 4:3 with side panels, 16:9
letterbox zoom to full size and 14:9 letterbox zoom to full size 14:9 with side panels.
The Upconverter unit accepts 1 group of embedded audio on the input and re-embeds 1 group into the HD
SMPTE 292M 1.5Gbs output. The re-embedded audio is compliant to SMPTE 299M and will have
appropriate delay added to compensate for video delay incurred by the upconversion process, thus
avoiding the need for external de-embedding and re-embedding of audio.
An optional composite video decoder and audio D to A converter module can be ordered for facilities
which are currently using analog video and audio signals.
transitioning to SDI in the future, the composite decoder can be bypassed at any time and the SDI input
may be then be used.
The Upconverter electronics is housed in a 1RU rack mount frame. The standard Upconverter has built-in
front panel controls, but can also be purchased with a rack mount remote control panel that replaces the
built-in control panel (RCP version).
