This is the processing engine behind the [[Maurice]] control unit, a fact that has lead to some confusion, and many people calling a [[P164]] a [[Maurice]]. | |||
It provides range of video processing functions in real time, thus making a very useful machine to have around in the days before computer edit suites, or for live events. As a result whilst the unit in the studio vision path is rarely used in the way it used to be, units are regularly used on outside broadcasts either to Genlock a free-running video source or to provide some urgently needed video manipulation like zooming a projector feed or keystoneing a warped picture. It can also be used for aspect ration conversion, for example, a 4:3 video source can now be fed into the anamorphic 16:9 vision path, after being "squished" to 75% space horizontally. | |||
