Next-Generation Processor/Synchronizer Extends Capabilities of Successful DPS-575
Leitch Technology Corporation (TSX:LTV - News), a leading provider of SD/HD
solutions for professional digital video, announces the launch of the X75(TM)SD,
its next-generation, standalone standard- definition processor/synchronizer.
The X75SD extends the market leadership of the popular DPS-575 Digital Processing
Synchronizer with the addition of significant new features and an easy upgrade
path to HDTV when required. The X75SD will be showcased at NAB 2005, alongside
the recently launched X75HD, Leitch's HDTV up/down/cross converter synchronizer.
Significant new features on the X75SD include dual SDI synchronization for customers
already transitioned to digital. For customers requiring input analog conversion,
the X75SD provides the option of two leading composite input decoders: the high-quality,
3-line adaptive PQM decoder found in both the current DPS-575 and 6800+ modular
platform; or the industry-leading 3D adaptive decoder, which is offered as part
of the NEO(TM) series of advanced applications.
Unique amongst all standalone synchronizers on the market, the X75SD can be
field-upgraded to provide HDTV up, down and cross conversion, complete with
HD synchronization. A user's investment in the X75SD is future-proofed with
a guaranteed upgrade path to the X75HD system configuration.
For remote monitoring applications, the X75SD comes standard with thumbnail
capability of the video passing through the unit. As an option, the X75SD accommodates
an MPEG-4 monitoring streaming module that generates an IP- based compressed
stream that can be viewed with industry-standard players.
The X75SD also provides audio capability to meet the increased audio processing
requirements of today's broadcasters. There are two audio options: an eight-channel
audio processor with four analog audio inputs and outputs and two AES (balanced
and unbalanced) with two groups of embedded audio support; or a 16-channel audio
processor with the same analog audio interfaces, five AES (balanced and unbalanced)
and four groups of embedded audio support. Both options handle audio on a channel-by-channel
basis with full audio processing, synchronization and delay. As an additional
option, a Dolby® Digital / Dolby® E decoder can be incorporated to regenerate
and output baseband audio.
The X75SD, X75HD and the DPS-575 are designed to operate on the same control
infrastructure. Pre-existing DPS-575 control panels can control the X75SD and
continue to operate the DPS-575. New X75 control panels can also be used to
control DPS-575s. A built-in Web server and optional SNMP support are industry-standard
means of controlling and monitoring the X75SD. CCS Navigator(TM) further enhances
the remote control aspects of the X75SD for any application.
