Miranda's New Incoming Feed Processor Modules Simplify the Management of Digital and Analog Incoming Feeds

Miranda Technologies has extended its range of Imaging Seriesinterfacing modules with the new UVP-101i universal videoprocessor/synchronizer and the UAP-712i dual universal audio processor.Both modules can accept digital or analog signals, simplifying themanagement of multi-format incoming feeds.

The UVP-101i features composite and SDI (with embedded AES) inputsallowing a single module to be used with either analog or digitalincoming feed signals. The analog input's super-adaptive decoder canhandle a variety of decoding modes, including 1D, 2D, and 3D, and thebuilt-in synchronizer can be used to lock remote feeds to a localreference or to delay video signals by up to four frames. Theintegrated proc-amp provides a wide range of video level adjustments,as well as providing AGC and TBC functionality.

"We sought to manufacture the best decoder on the market, and sowe've incorporated Fortel DTV Inc.'s latest decoding technology in theUVP-101i," said Jean-Claude Krelic, Miranda's product manager forinterfaces. "Another key strength of the UVP-101i is its flexibility inmulti-format environments."

The UVP-101i provides 12-bit video signal processing and 20-bitaudio embedding/de-embedding and is designed to operate alongside thenew UAP-712i dual universal audio processing module. The UVP-101i canextract embedded audio, pass it to the audio processor module forprocessing, and then re-embed the audio at the output. A delay-trackingoutput allows the audio processor to match the video delay introducedby the UVP-101i. Additionally, the UVP-101i module provides completecontrol of the VANC/VBI, allowing each line to be passed, blanked, orprocessed.

The UAP-712i dual universal audio processor is a high-quality,24-bit analog and digital audio processor that can process two stereoanalog channels or two AES audio inputs, allowing each channel to beswapped, phase inverted, muted, summed, and level adjusted. The modulefeatures two delay elements: a user-adjustable fixed delay and a videotracking delay, typically linked to the Miranda UVP-101i videoprocessing/synchronizer module. The UAP-712i's digital outputs can belocked to an external reference signal such as video, AES, or a wordclock.

Both UVP-101i and UAP-712i modules are compatible with Miranda's new1-RU Quartet 2 and the 4-RU Symphonie frames, which can accommodate upto four or 16 modules, respectively. The modules can be controlled fromthe card edge by Miranda's RCP-100 1-RU remote control panel and by thecompany's easy-to-use iControl-Web networked remote control andmonitoring system.
