New from Crystal Vision are two 12 bit decoding converters able to bring any analogue sources into a digital environment. Used with sources generated by cameras, tape machines, DVD players or graphics generators, the flexible ADDEC-210 and ADDEC-310 offer the best performance yet and can convert different analogue signals (PAL/NTSC composite, Y/C, YUV and RGB) to SDI and synchronise them too - making them ideal for multiple applications and resulting in reductions in both cost and rack space.

Input sources can be of any quality from full broadcast to VHS, with jittery signals accepted. The ADDECs have been designed to work both with RGB which has integrated syncs and RGB with separate syncs, which adds further flexibility. The high quality performance is a result of data sampled at 54Mbit per second allowing the highest quality digital filtering, as well as the five line comb decoder and the 12 bit A to D which reduces quantising noise. The internal video proc-amp allows adjustment of gains and levels for further picture improvements. more

European Commission selects HaiVision‘s hai1000 telepresence codec for Remote Simultaneous Interpretation

March 20, 2008 - HaiVision Systems Inc. (Montreal, Canada), the world‘s leading vendor of performance H.264 network video encoders, announces that the European Commission (EC) has selected and installed HaiVision‘s hai1000 high performance telepresence codecs for remote simultaneous interpretation. The EC for many years has been seeking network video devices and videoconferencing tools that enable interpreters to work with remote participants. The unique qualities of the hai1000 have satisfied their very rigorous requirements. more
