FRC-7000 HD Frame Rate Converter

Supporting High-Definition Frame Rate Conversion

Using the highest quality video processing to achieve superior image conversion results. The HD Frame Rate Converter FRC-7000 is the ultimate product incorporating the essence of FOR-A's expertise in video processing technology.

Frame synchroniser, video stabiliser, DVEs in video switchers, and other FOR-A products used around the world have already served as a testament to FOR-A's high-definition conversion performance. At first glance, the FRC-7000 looks like a simple product that only converts the frame rate. Inside, however, it features numerous video processing technologies that cannot be matched by anyone else; such as Loop-through for every input.

Frame Rate Conversion Using Motion Compensation Processing Technology

One major problem with linear converters performing simple frame rate conversion is their inability to perform suitable conversion on moving objects. In the FRC-7000, FOR-A's long experience in image processing technology was used to develop a motion compensation processing technique based on motion vectors. The motion vector of the object is detected, and movement of the interpolation frame object is generated based on the objects amount of vector movement in the frames just before and after the calculated area. The result is frame rate conversion with minimum judder.

Scene Cut Detection

Another problem in frame rate conversion is the processing of scene changes. Because an interpolation frame is generated from the frames before and after, the process can fail to convert the video properly by combining the frames before and after the scene boundary. The FRC-7000 incorporates a scene cut detection function. Scene changes are automatically detected so that frame rate conversion is performed without using motion compensation processing on unrelated data for the frames before and after scene cuts.
