Ease of Use
Integrating legacy and international programming into your
schedules has never been easier. With Grass Valley’s KudosPro
range of converters, you’re guaranteed to find a converter to
meet your application and budget needs. Whether you need Other Products KudosPro
to frame rate or format convert, Grass Valley offers motion
compensated and motion adaptive converters that ensure that
the quality of your content is retained at every step in your
workflow.

Ideal for international program

exchange, conversion, high-density

KudosPro achieves maximum resolution preserving the fine

detail in graphics and sharpness of text. Softness and lack of
detail are typical artifacts which are seen in other products.
Action Other Products KudosPro
In fast moving sports action, detail and definition around key
parts of the images such as the ball or player are critical.
KudosPro uses motion compensation to ensure full resolution
and well defined motion. It is the only product that provides full
resolution moving video images. Other products introduce blur
and reduce resolution in moving areas.

A typical program output comprises many components such as
station branding, credit rolls and video or animation. KudosPro
handles all of these simultaneously without compromise. Other
