Fovea HD Caliber, an HD and SD converter with advanced features

This converter is especially suitable when working with images with a large area of ​​movement, such as a pan along a court, along with other smaller objects that are also moving.

Calibre, a British company with almost a quarter of a century of specialization in image processing and display solutions, now has an interesting high-performance HD and SD standards converter with motion compensation.

This converter is especially indicated when working with images with a large area of ​​movement, such as panning along a court, along with other smaller objects that are also moving, such as players or the ball. Its global motion function based on the MEMC algorithm is capable of handling fast pans with very good results. On the other hand, Fovea HD allows you to create exclusion zones for content that could be degraded by motion estimation, such as subtitles or banners with results or labels, excluding them from processing.

This solution also features greater control with cadence management for processing original film or 24p content, as well as the ability to preserve cadence in conversions between 50i and 59.94i formats, maintaining the cinema look while performing a true MEMC conversion.

Another interesting function is the detection of scene cuts and the possibility of following cadence and preserving the requirements of each of the scenes.

Its performance stands out mainly when it comes to material that has been strongly compressed or that contains a lot of movement of a hide-and-show nature.

To view the results, it is possible to split the tracking screen into two areas, with and without processing.

Caliber has improved in this new equipment the improved low fps performance for 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97 and 30p formats with the ability to create inputs and outputs in few frames per second for applications such as catch-up TV delivery, for example.
