BRADFORD, YORKSHIRE, UK — Image processing specialists Calibre UK (www.calibreuk.com) is showing the Fovea-F1 broadcast grade motion estimated and motion compensated standards (MEMC) convertor at the IBC show in Amsterdam. The company has also signed a global distribution agreement with Imagine Communications, which serves the global broadcast, multichannel video programming distributor and enterprise markets.
At IBC, the Fovea-F1 MEMC convertor will be shown at the Imagine Communications’ stand, where it will perform frame rate conversion of 1080i59.94 to 1080i50 content. The solution features a Web browser interface that offers realtime status reporting. Its compact and versatile design incorporates easy-to-navigate access to key controls.
The existing ability to select different MEMC levels has been greatly enhanced in the new release with MEMC presets for virtually all key types of content. Additionally, it is now possible to seamlessly change between MEMC content type presets live during transmission and conversion.
“Most of Europe and the Middle East recently viewed the World Cup Football games through frame rate converted by Fovea,” notes Tim Brooksbank, chairman and CEO at Calibre. “We’re really pleased to be able to work with such a broadcast equipment powerhouse as Imagine Communications, thus making Fovea much more accessible globally to broadcasters and system integrators.”
