Digital Video Signal Transcoding

Digital component video is useful in applications that generate or process video in digital component form. Paint systems and special effects devices are good examples. Digital composite video has advantages in storage and distribution due to the comparably reduced bit density, and implementation because of compatibility with existing analog composite facilities. The gap between the two digital families can be bridged with a digital format translator. Translation is not simple and carries penalties that are not usually expected in digital environments. The process of conversion between 4:2:2 component and 4fsc composite is outlined, with some discussion on the associated problems.
