Up, down and cross conversion for HD and UHD 4K. Featuring advanced de-interlacing and motion-adaptive scaling for impactful results.
Seamlessly adapt between SDR, PQ, HLG and SLog3 workflows. Deal with 709 and 2020 wide-color gamut with ease.
Effective motion-adaptive frame-rate conversion in UHD and HD at a fraction of price of motion compensated converters.
Keep your video in line. Handle asynchronous feeds and adjust timing.
Whether tuning for on-set monitors or correcting an incoming feed, proc amp and RGB color correction tools get your image looking right.
Easily mix and match 12G-SDI with legacy quad-link systems.
Managing Audio is a critical part of any production workflow. Adjust Gain, phase, delay and channel shuffle.
Embed, de-embed (or both!) discrete AES into your HD or UHD signal, with your choice of 75Ω unbalanced or 110Ω balanced interfaces. Paired with Gator’s flexible audio processing and shuffling, you can tame your audio.
In addition to HD-SDI and 12G-SDI copper interfaces, Gator-Toolbox can also receive or send your signals over fiber for longer-reach runs. You can mix and match fiber, 12G-SDI, Quad 2SI or SQD to meet your signal interface needs.
