With the MediaConverter™ MC-2E DV/SDI/Analogue Converter—the most advanced video and audio signal transcoder that Focus Enhancements has ever developed—you can achieve professional, high-quality bidirectional DV/SDI-to-analogue video conversion. Rackmount ready, the MediaConverter MC-2E can be easily added to your existing AV rack.

Designed for broadcast and professional postproduction, the MediaConverter MC-2E makes advanced, bidirectional video conversion affordable, reliable, and easy. With a variety of inputs and outputs, the MediaConverter MC-2E enables you to convert DV to analogue video, analogue video to DV, and analogue or DV to SDI. No matter what your conversion needs are—DV, CV, Y/C, YUV, or SDI—the MediaConverter has you covered.

NLE System Compatibility
The perfect complement to popular editing systems such as Avid Xpress DV, Pinnacle Liquid, Apple Final Cut Pro, and Adobe Premiere, the MediaConverter MC-2E enables you to work with footage from any source—including video recorded on older tape formats-—by converting it to digital video for nonlinear editing. Once your program is edited, you can transfer it to tape for archiving.
Audio Conversion
The MediaConverter MC-2E also includes a full-featured audio signal converter with connections for unbalanced stereo, balanced stereo, AES/EBU, and DV/SDI embedded audio. The audio input can be selected independently from the video signal and all audio outputs are available simultaneously, enabling the MediaConverter MC-2E to embed or de-embed audio.
TBC and Genlock
The Focus MediaConverter MC-2E includes full-frame time base correction and Genlock, making it perfect for broadcast applications.
Timecode Conversion and Control
Featuring D-VITC to DV TC conversion, the MediaConverter MC-2E ensures that users of nonlinear editing systems can easily maintain the same timecode values as tape. The MediaConverter MC-2E includes an RS-422 interface that enables smooth conversion of RS-422 LTC to DV TC and an RS-232 interface for firmware updates and system settings. Video levels, audio levels, and color phase (HUE) can be adjusted by the user for maximum control over picture and sound.
