BT656-Pro converts the standard parallel BT656 digital video
signal generated by the MPEG decoders of DVD players or set-top
boxes to SDI (Serial Digital Interface) signal for video signal
transmission in order to avoid unnecessary digital-to-analog
and analog-to-digital conversions which will cause video quality
loss. SDI helps keep it digital from the source to the video
processor/scaler then on to the digital display.
This provides the best picture quality available.
Warning: It is assumed that
the users have fully understood the pin assignment of the
MPEG-2 decoder and have the skill to do the modification.
Pixel Magic Systems Limited is not responsible for any damage
caused during the modification.
If you would like to have your equipment modified by a
professional, many of our dealers offer that service - see
our 'Dealers & Partners' section for more details.
