The 7736CDM line of composite analog video to serial digital video converters are broadcast quality decoders with an extensive list of additional features. High quality audio analog to digital conversion can be packaged with the decoder to create a video/audio frame synchronizer with audio embedder.

Faroudja 2D adaptive comb filtering technology has been chosen to not introduce moving artifacts from the decoding process. This makes it ideal for use in applications where the signal is destined to enter MPEG compressors. The low level of moving artifacts reduces the bit-rate required to digitally encode the signal for a given picture quality level by up to 20%.

Traditional adaptive and non-adaptive 2D comb filters can introduce artifacts in areas of high detail. However, by using adaptive processing incorporating Faroudja's patented H-logic and V-logic interpolation algorithms to control both the comb filter itself and the narrow and wide band chroma filters, these artifacts are substantially reduced not only on horizontal and vertical edges, but on diagonal edges too. In this way, the chroma filters reduce chroma noise without blurring the signal at sharp transitions in any direction.
