An Ideal Front-end Solution

The MC-HD1 is ideally suited as a front-end to non-linear editing (NLE) and media asset management (MAM) systems or as a video conversion tool for live-production or post-production use. The MC-HD1 also makes it possible to monitor an SD down-conversion of any output source.

 

The MC-HD1 features HD/SD-SDI, HDMI, component, composite (SD) and Y/C (SD), unbalanced/balanced audio and dual channel AES/EBU digital audio inputs and outputs.  In addition, de-interlacing/interlacing, frame-rate conversion, audio embed/de-embed, SD/HD up/down scaling and adaptive audio delay compensation for increased flexibility.  The MC-HD1 is packaged in a compact 1RU chassis with a backlit LCD display for settings and status and an easy to use scroll wheel for menu navigation.  Settings can be controlled and viewed using the MC-HD1's built in web server via a simple network connection from any web browser.  External devices such as VTR's can be controlled via RS422 and outputs genlocked.
