HOME UDX Converter

A member of the first batch of agile HOME Apps, the HOME UDX ­Converter with HDR processing provides video format and aspect ratio conversions.

The HOME UDX Converter offers a deinterlacer, HDR/color processor, a scaler and two outputs. Each output can use a different format with a different overlay, and—where applicable—can be set to “i” or “p”. It delivers conversions between SD, HD, 3G and UHD as well as ST2110, SRT and NDI in the HOME Apps ecosystem. One example would be: UHD to both 3G and HD, either with or without graphics, e.g. for simultaneous “clean” feed and “dirty” feed output during global events.

Operators can also perform conversions from one protocol (e.g. ST2110) to another (e.g. SRT) as well as from HDR to SDR and vice versa in HLG and PQ using 3D LUT (.cube) tetrahedral interpolation.

The HOME UDX Converter natively supports both ST2110-20 and ST2110-22 (compressed) video as well as ST2110-30 and AES67 audio streams. Additionally, the HOME UDX Converter features frame ­synchronization, non-linear edge enhancement, fully flexible audio shuffling, de-interlace/interlace, and HTML5-based graphics overlay.

The HTML5-based feature enables users to create rich 2D/3D HTML5 graphics (with transparent background) with your favorite tools. Simply add the URL to the UDX before spinning up the app to overlay these graphics on the UDX output. Color space conversion, finally, supports BT.601/BT.709/BT.2020 with proc‑amp color correction control.
