Processing amplifier, commonly called Proc Amp, is used to clean video signal components in real time. Proc Amps can be used for processing standard definition 525/30 (NTSC) 625/25 (Pal) or high definition video signals [1] [2]. Proc Amps can process video signals ranging from analog composite to SDI video signals. Broadcast professionals prefer to use hardware rack mountable proc amps that helps them make video broadcast safe by correcting video inconsistencies. However software proc amps are also available, that are embedded in media players like VLC, encoders or decoders like ffdshow that process video, either on the CPU or GPU.
Common Proc Amp Controls:
- Brightness (Luminance)
- Contrast (Gain)
- Saturation (Amplitude)
- Hue (Phase)
