Richard P. Leitch Technology has introduced the X75 HD, a versatile up-, down- and cross converter and HD frame synchronizer. The X75 HD features extensive video and audio processing capabilities in a 1RU package. Video processing features include level/color control; optional 3-D adaptive color decoding with time base correction; optional noise reduction; frame synchronization; and up- and down-conversion with aspect ratio conversion for hybrid standard - and HD facilities. The X75 HD's 16 channels of internal audio processing include timing with video for lip sync corrections; level control; analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion; and embedding and de-embedding for SDI and HD-SDI serial digital signals for interfacing any audio signal in a professional environment. > >> FYI, there's a simple piece of commercial equipment in use today to >> adjust for lip sync errors.
