Eyeheight to Launch World’s First Stereoscopic 3D Video Legaliser

The LE-3D was developed in co-operation with one of London's leading broadcast production, post-production and distribution facilities. It allows legalisation parameters for left and right video channels to be adjusted from a single operating panel to ensure precise compliance. User-adjustable settings include RGB, YUV or composite mode selection, clipping level, soft clipping knee, luma and chroma gain, black level, and hue rotation. Six user memories are available to store group settings. EBU 2003 standard legalisation presets are also provided.

Based on Eyeheight’s proven geNETics platform, the LE-3D has two independent HD-SDI inputs and outputs. Processing is to full 10-bit depth throughout. Multiple LE-3D modules can be accommodated in a 1 RU 19 inch chassis for operation under local control from an Eyeheight FP-9 generic control panel. All geNETics products are driven via a unified hardware or software menu system giving fast and easy access to all relevant parameters.

Video legalisers are a simple way of helping edited programmes pass broadcasters' technical quality-assurance requirements. They automatically detect and correct any parts of a video signal that do not conform to industry-agreed component RGB, YUV or composite colour space levels. Eyeheight legalisers incorporate single-touch presets for all major standards, making them practically effortless to use in any country.

Exhibiting on BVE 2012 stand A1, Eyeheight will be represented at the show by Sales Director Martin Moore.
