    Introduction 1.1 Description The IQMCC30 module provides motion compensated frame rate (standards) conversion and motion adaptive up, down, and cross conversion for SD, HD and 3 Gbit/s SDI digital video signals. Using high-quality motion processing technology, the module is ideal for space-constrained installations where frame rate conversion is required e.g.
