3.13.4.5.5 Video Conversion Tables
The RX8000 can manipulate the decoded video stream on the incoming service,
either up-converting or down-converting the video to a different resolution on the
output. The Base Decoder is capable of both up-conversion and down-conversion
whereas the 4:2:2 Decoder Option card is only capable of down-conversion. Down-
conversion options are extended where High Quality Down-conversion Card is fitted.
