MVPHD-24
24-Frame Playback Converter
The newest generation broadcast quality frame rate converter designed specifically for the film industry and widely utilized by studios and 24-frame playback specialists.
Conventional standards converters are not designed for the varied playback situations encountered in the film industry, and often require the use of additional equipment. Schindler Imaging has incorporated the functionality of other equipment with our high quality processing, producing a single unit solution to simplify the task of 24-frame video playback.
Since 1998, Schindler Imaging converters quickly became the industry standard for 24-frame playback specialists. Now merged with California Media Engineering, Inc., the MVPHD-24 maintains the same functionality plus support for full 10-bit 1080p processing, up-down frame rate conversion, sill image capture and display, playback of recorded video from the internal Raspberry Pi, remote control via Dashboard software, customizable test signals, and standard support for HDMI, VGA, SDI, HD/SD component, and composite inputs and outputs.
