Xintekvideo's SDI Random Noise Reducer Model SDI-10 is an improved all digital version of the popular Model VP-10. It uses the same VIP (Video Improvement Processor) as the VP-10 but with increased sensitivity and 12-bit processing accuracy.

The noise reducer uses proprietary technology based on recursive filtering and motion compensation techniques to achieve outstanding noise reduction with minimum or no artifacts. Its performance is particularly startling when applied to very noisy signals. (Try other peoples' noise reducers with very noisy signals!)

The Model SDI-10 can be ordered with analog NTSC or PAL input, but normally it is configured to take a serial digital video at 270 Mbs, it disassembles it into the luminance and two color difference signals, it then individually and independently applies noise reduction to each component signal. More than 9dBs of noise reduction can be achieved both in the luminance and the color difference signals. Up to 6dBs of high frequency boost can also be added to the luminance if needed. The three signals are then re-assembled into a 270 Mbs serial digital video.

The system automatically goes into bypass during blanking, thus retaining any data imbedded in blanking. All video levels are automatically clipped when necessary to remain within the SDI specifications.

The Model SDI-10 delivers considerable picture quality improvement and it permits video compression with much higher efficiency.
