ULTRA CROSS CONVERTER
Ultra Cross Converter
PC Video Cross Converter
Ultra Cross Converter is a PC based video cross converter, which is able to convert between SDI, NDI or IP sources simultaneously to SDI, NDI and IP in same or different resolution/ or framerate.
The video input can be scaled in PIP with squeezeback effect and a CG Background applied. There also a CG layer inside the PIP and on a overall layer. Audio follow video with downmixing.
All CG layers include tickers, crawls, tables, logos, animations, clocks, news alert and commercial bugs insertion.
SDI input and ouput can be up to 1080p. NDI input and output in any format. IP inputs in RTMP, UDP, RTP, RTSP, HTTP, FTP etc. IP output in RTMP, UDP, IIS smooth, WM streaming.
The Most Cost-Effective Solution
Typical applications are IP decoder/encoder, NDI/SDI converter, or broadcast TV channel branding with PIP DVE for delivering SD/HD themed channel applications.
Delay between input and output 3 frames aprox.
Ultra Cross Converter is the most cost-effective solution for broadcast TV channel branding, that combines high-impact graphic design with 2D DVEs picture in picture of your program output, delivering SD/HD themed channel.
It is used to compress live TV Channel into a 2D PIP and add graphics in news 24 style.
