Hi Shane:

I’m not sure where you got the erroneous information, but the AJ-FRC27 (Frame Rate Converter) is still very much alive as a product. As standard is has HD-SDI OPs and a monitoring NTSC/PAL composite OP. If required you can also add the optional SD SDI downconverter option for high quality SD outputs. This option is called the AJ-YA27. Judging by soem of the postings, this is what many of the sers have chosen to install.

Hope it helps clear up some confusion.

Best regards,

Steve Mahrer (Panasonic Broadcast US)

Hi,

I got the information from:

Michael Gee (Panasonic US) and Brad Fisher (sales rep. for Panasonic working for Professional Video and Tape, Inc in Oregon). They also go a guy from Panasonic in LA involved but I can’t remember his name.

Thanks,

Shane
