 CVC 300 Component Video to RGB Converter 60-971-01 Retired

This product has been retired.

The Extron CVC 300 is a universal, high definition component video to RGB converter. It accepts all common analog component video formats, as well as RGsB, from 480i and 576i to HDTV 1080p/60 and 1920x1200. The CVC 300 supports interlaced or progressive scan video with bi-level or tri-level sync, and transcodes the incoming component video signal for output as RGBHV or RGBS, while retaining the input video resolution and refresh rate. The CVC 300 is ideal for use in applications that require the integration of devices with component video output, such as DVD players, DTV tuners and DVRs, or game consoles, into RGB-based AV system designs.

Features

  • Supports all standard definition and high definition analog component video formats — Accepts Y,R-Y,B-Y and Y,Pb,Pr component video formats as well as RGsB, from 480i and 576i up to HDTV 1080p/60 and 1920x1200.
  • Converts component video to RGBHV or RGBS — Decodes all common component video signals to RGB with composite or H+V sync, while retaining the input video resolution and refresh rate. The CVC 300 converts progressive component video to progressive RGB, and converts interlaced component video to interlaced RGB.
  • Precise bi-level or tri-level sync detection and conversion — Detects and maintains the relative timing of sync signals during the component video to RGB conversion process.
  • User-selectable input color space format — A front panel rotary switch allows for selection between interlaced or progressive scan component video, RGsB, and Betacam color space formats.
  • Rack-mountable 1U, quarter rack width metal enclosure
  • Highly reliable, energy-efficient external universal power supply included, replacement part #70-775-01 — Provides worldwide power compatibility, with high demonstrated reliability and low power consumption for reduced operating costs.
