About us

The Algogear™ XVC-1001-DC Downconverter provides high quality conversion from HD (SMPTE 292M) video formats to SD (SMPTE 259M-C) video formats. It offers advanced de-interlacing and directional content adaptive scaling for superior conversion quality. Standard and custom aspect ratio conversion and HD to SD color space conversion are also supported. It supports minimum delay or reference aligned mode with additional variable delay. AFD (Active Format Descriptor) aspect ratio control is fully supported by the XVC-1001-DC.

The XVC-1001-DC can automatically delay all 16 channels of embedded audio to compensate for the video delay. Audio PCM data is mapped to the SD output. Closed caption and time code information can be transported from input to output with all necessary HD to SD transcoding.

The Algogear Downconverter also provides background fill capabilities, allowing side panels introduced by downconversion to be filled with video or graphics.
