InSync Boosts FrameFormer Conversion Quality And Computational Efficiency
_789_531_70_s.jpg)
FrameFormer software now also available on ARM processors, including cloud services.
InSync Technology is rolling out updated versions of its FrameFormer software. Thanks to a programme of continual development, the latest versions deliver even higher quality in real time conversion using CPU only, while reducing the processor demands by as much as 20%.
The FrameFormer motion compensated frame rate and format converter is aimed at discerning users such as sports broadcasters. These sports coverage users set very high standards for image processing where detail is absolutely critical to ensure viewers appreciate exactly how the action is developing and the ball is moving. InSync engineers work closely with expert users to ensure that the product delivers against the highest expectations.
FrameFormer software is designed to run on CPUs only, either in appliances on premises or, increasingly, in the cloud. As well as increasing quality, InSync engineers constantly strive to optimise the efficiency of processing, to create the best result at the lowest operating cost. For a typical broadcast contribution application with sub-sampled chroma video in and out, the new version of FrameFormer reduces CPU demand by up to 20%.
In addition, the software has now been ported to run on the highly efficient ARM processing architecture. Cloud compute providers have been expanding their ARM based capacity allowing users to streamline workflows and operational costs even further.
The new version of FrameFormer software is suitable for all existing and new users and will be available from mid-April 2023.
