The Densité Series XVP-1801-FS-3RU offers high quality aspect ratio conversion and frame synchronization. It provides many advanced features, including AFD support and background keying, with optional 16 channel embedded audio processing. The superior conversion quality of the XVP at both 50 and 59.94 Hz stems from multiple technologies, including advanced motion adaptive de-interlacing and anti-ringing. To ensure that aspect ratio converted television is presented in the correct aspect ratio when aired, the XVP module supports AFD (Active Format Description) SMPTE-2016. This provides automatic aspect ratio control using embedded control commands, and this prevents on-air aspect ratio errors such as the postage stamp effect. In addition to AFD, the XVP also supports VLI (Video Line Index) RP-186 and WSS, which allows the card to adjust its ARC automatically without any external intervention.
