TPS-01 Broadcast PAL > SECAM Transcoder

The TPS-01 PAL to SECAM Broadcast Transcoder offers high quality conversion from 625 line / 50Hz PAL to 625 line / 50Hz SECAM (SECAM - IIIB/D/G/K/K1/L).

Before transcoding, the PAL signal is first decoded to luminance and colour difference signals (YC), using precision filtering to ensure maximum residual chrominance subcarrier. This gives excellent signal characteristics with greater bandwidth and lower noise than with conventional RGB transcoding, and provides a lower cost solution in situations where comb filtering is not justified.
 

There are two composite SECAM outputs, each with SECAM identification "bottles" in the vertical interval (which can be disabled), making the TPS-01 ideal for use in systems where there may be older TV receivers / monitors which require these for correct synchronisation.

The TPS-01 can also be configured to pass the vertical interval (ITS etc.) without processing, if required. An optional bypass relay can also be installed to preserve the looping PAL input in the case of mains failure.

The TPS-01 is housed in a 1U high 19" rackmount enclosure with mains PSU. It is based on a single extended Eurocard (100x220mm board) allowing several transcoders to be incorporated in a single rack (up to 4 in a 1U frame and 14 in a 3U frame).

TPS-100 High Grade Broadcast PAL > SECAM Transcoder

The TPS-100 transcoder is a high grade broadcast PAL to SECAM composite / YC video converter designed for the television studio. Accepting either a looping PAL input or YC input, and a SECAM H/2 or black-burst genlock reference signal, the TPS-100 employs a precision subcarrier filter with patent overshoot suppression to give exceptionally clean PAL decoding with some 40dB of subcarrier rejection and little cross-colour.
 

The broadcast SECAM encoder produces 3 outputs of either SECAM IIIB or H/2, depending on the reference input. An automatic bypass feeds the input directly to the output if the input standard is SECAM, if the incoming subcarrier is too low, or if the mains power fails. The transcoder is not affected by test lines or videotext. Adjustment is simple and stability excellent.

Housed in a 1U high rackframe or available as Eurocard modules for installation in a 3U frame, the TPS-100 is optionally available with colour bars generator and YUV component output

TSP-06 Broadcast SECAM > PAL Transcoder

The TSP-06 SECAM to PAL Broadcast Transcoder offers high quality conversion from 625 line / 50Hz SECAM (SECAM - IIIB/D/G/K/K1/L) to 625 line / 50Hz PAL (PAL - B/C/G/H/I). It is housed in a 1U rack with mains power supply, adjustments accessible behind the front panel and connectors on the rear.
 

The SECAM signal is decoded using the latest technology single-chip digital decoder to ensure maximum luminance bandwidth with minimum residual chrominance subcarrier.

There are three composite PAL outputs produced by the digital PAL encoder and a looping SECAM input.

An optional bypass reay can be installed to loop the input through to output in the event of mains failure.

TSP-100 High Grade Broadcast SECAM > PAL Transcoder

The TSP-100 transcoder is a high grade broadcast SECAM to PAL composite video converter designed for the television studio. Accepting either SECAM IIIB or SECAM H/2 composite video in, the TSP-100 produces three outputs of PAL composite video or optionally one composite and one YC output.
 

The SECAM decoder employs a precision subcarrier filter with patent overshoot suppression to give exceptionally clean SECAM decoding with some 40dB of subcarrier rejection and little cross-colour.

The broadcast PAL encoder produces 3 outputs of PAL composite video synchronized  to the PAL black-burst or subcarrier reference input. S double-edge horizontal enhancer is switchable on the luminance channel and permanently operates on the chrominance signal. An automatic bypass feeds the input directly to the output if the input standard is PAL, if the incoming subcarrier is too low, or if the mains power fails. The transcoder is not affected by test lines or videotext. Adjustment is simple and stability excellent.

Housed in a 1U high rackframe or available as Eurocard modules for installation in a 3U frame, the TSP-100 is optionally available with colour bars generator and YUV component output.
