ARC/Legalizers/Pan & Scan

Aspect Ratio Converters
Axon’s Aspect Ratio Converters are available as modular units for housing in the Synapse frames, and as stand-alone systems. These systems allow the user to differentiate between the available aspect ratios.

Legalizer
Axon’s offers the stand-alone legalizer (SDL3000) and a modular Synapse variant (SDL30). Both offer a solution to bright/dim colors and are the ideal tool for post-production facilities. The systems are used to legalize the composite domain, and control the inputs in such a way that the outputs are correctly broadcast.

Pan & Scan
The stand-alone PSS3000 Pan & Scan inserter is a dynamic Video Index inserter that allows simultaneous transport of 4:3 into a 16:9 environment.

Softel supply innovative hardware & systems products to television broadcasters and broadcast facilities around the world in the following technology sectors: Subtitling & Closed Captioning, Digital & Interactive TV, Teletext and Digital Text, and Ad Insertion Cuing.


Subtitling & Closed Captioning
The preparation and encoding of subtitles has become an increasingly important component of the video entertainment industry. Broadcasters have a duty to cater for the needs of those viewers with hearing difficulties and program-makers (both TV and DVD) frequently need to offer multi-lingual subtitles. Softel's Swift range of subtitle products is founded on the dual premises that the cost of subtitling should be minimised and that subtitles should be encoded reliably and to open standards (wherever they exist). One way to reduce cost is to make use of state-of-the-art technology - and as an example, Swift is now offered with automated 'text to speech' alignment (TiGo) which unburdens the subtitler from having to timecode each subtitle manually.


Digital TV
One of the ways that Digital TV operators can differentiate their product from conventional analogue TV is by 'enhancing' the viewing experience. The term 'Enhanced TV' has thus evolved in parallel with the roll-out of digital TV and is used to describe the different ways in which TV programmes, or complete channels, may be accompanied with additional on-screen information or the opportunity to 'interact' with the video content in some way. The term 'interactive TV' is often used interchangeably with enhanced TV even though, form some enhancements, the only interaction required by the viewer is to press a single button on the TV handset!


Teletext & TV Text
Teletext content management and transmission systems represented, for many years, the core of Softel's international business. Today, Teletext systems are still in demand and the company's PC Windows-based Cyclone system offers great value. The features offered within a single rack mount unit now would have occupied racks full of processing hardware in previous years. Softel offer a range of PAL and serial digital VBI Teletext inserters & regenerators to work alongside Teletext systems.
