The Lynx greenMachine Scaler APP is a versatile broadcast quality video UP/DOWN/CROSS converter, which provides a broad range of conversion and scaling possibilities.
Note: A separate Scaler APP is required for each greenMachine processing channel.
The APP includes Region of Interest (ROI) functionality that allows the user to define a rectangular area from the incoming video frame which can then be scaled and displayed full frame or configured to be any rectangular size and shape on the output. A typical application would be the selecting and cropping a specific portion of a computer display and converting this selection to be a full fame broadcast SDI signal.
In addition to the ROI feature, the Scaler APP can convert between various video formats. When used with the "DE Interlace APP" Extension, interlaced to progressive format conversions are extremely high quality.
If the input video frame rate does not match the frame rate of the reference signal, for example a 50Hz input signal and a 60Hz reference connected (the reference signal determines the output frame rate), then the input signal will be automatically frame rate converted to match the reference using a simple drop & repeat frame method.
