|description=The JVC KM-F250 is a professional rack-mountable frame synchronizer with integrated full-frame time base correction, originally marketed by JVC's Professional Products division. Though officially designated a "frame synchronizer," the unit performs full-frame TBC processing conforming to CCIR Recommendation 601 at 13.5 MHz, 8-bit 4:2:2 sampling, effectively making it a multi-purpose TBC suitable for professional video production and archival workflows.

The KM-F250 accepts composite (VBS), Y/C separate, and analog component (Y/R-Y/B-Y) video inputs. A loopthrough reference sync (black burst/genlock) input is provided for synchronizing output timing to external equipment, along with a dedicated DOC (dropout compensator) RF carrier input for use with VTRs that provide an RF output. The unit provides two composite video outputs, component outputs, Y/C separate outputs, and four sync reference outputs (ADV SYNC for VTR servo lock, REF SYNC composite sync, REF SC color subcarrier, and REF BB black burst).

The unit includes comprehensive proc amp controls behind the front panel: video (Y) level, chroma level, U-V balance, and setup level — each with a variable/unity switch allowing ±3 dB adjustment (±10% for setup). An H position control allows output horizontal timing adjustment within ±7 µsec, and a Y/C timing control adjusts chroma-to-luminance phase within ±1 µsec. A chroma advance switch advances the chroma output by 1H with respect to luminance when enabled. All front-panel controls can be disabled via a LOCAL/REMOTE switch when using the optional RM-P250 remote control unit.

The unit features field freeze and frame freeze functions, useful for still-frame capture in production environments.
