CDM-820

CYP model CDM-820 High Resolution Video Standards Converter

NTSC to PAL
and      
PAL to NTSC

The CYP Super Multisystem Converter converts between the two most popular video standards, NTSC 3.58 and PAL 4.43. Full digital processing for perfect recording and playback with Mini-DV (Y/C & Composite only) - SVHS - VHS - Hi8 & 8mm equipment.

S-Video (Y/C)
and Composite
Inputs & Outputs

Because the CDM-820 has S-Video inputs and outputs the higher picture quality of S-Video is retained. A digital comb-filter converts Composite video input to Y/C for  internal processing. S-Video and Composite outputs are present at all times.

Steady Levels

An automatic gain control (AGC) keeps the output level normal even if the input level is high or low

Big Memory

With an 8Mb digital memory, the CDM-820 offers fantastic resolution.

Dual-standard TBC

When set for PAL to PAL the CDM-820 is a very effective Timebase Corrector. Can also be used as a TBC in NTSC to NTSC mode.

No Adjustments

The CDM-820's conversion process is fully automatic.

Colour Bars
or Black

When there is no input, the CDM-820 can be set to automatically output either 100% colour bars or colour black. The colour bars are very handy for testing purposes and the black for "striping" tapes prior to insert editing.
