Supported FSFC Video Formats

FSFCs can only convert between specific video formats at a given frequency.

  • In a 3G mode, the Carbonite MultiMedia and Carbonite+ switchers support synchronized and unsynchronized 1080p and 1080i inputs. The 1080i inputs are converted using a simple line-doubler and may result in lower quality video. The switcher supports synchronized and unsynchronized 1080p and 1080i inputs. The 1080i inputs are converted using a 4-line interpolator and may result in lower quality video.

Notes

  • 1 Converted using either a simple line-doubler or 4-line interpolater and may result in lower quality video.
  • 2 Converted by dropping frames and may result in lower quality video.
