8960ENC SDI to NTSC/PAL Encoder
The 8960ENC converts a serial component
digital signal to NTSC or PAL composite analog.
It can interface with analog VTRs, composite
analog production switchers and analog
transmitters, and accepts the 8900FSS sub-
module to allow output to be synchronized to
an external reference and accurately timed.
