Digital migration will continue the solid future of up/down and even cross converters. Conflicting standards are the saving grace for this product category and will sustain it for quite some time, if not indefinitely. Up converters will likely have the biggest reach as more and more material is switched to digital formats. As has been the prediction in the past, the biggest contenders will be manufacturers that can provide adaptability to all of the new digital demands, standards and formats.

This is just part of the findings from SCRI’s Broadcast/Pro Video Up / Down Converters Report . The full SCRI report provides quantitative data, based on extensive annual primary research surveys (since 1984) of broadcast and pro video facilities in each of the following end-user vertical markets: broadcast television stations, cable television stations, post production facilities (video and film), video production and multimedia facilities, corporate and institutional video facilities (government, educational, medical).
