UPX & Digital Video Processors

UPX Universal Presentation System

Universal Presentation Processor UPX-2

Crestron's revolutionary UPX-2 Universal Presentation Processor provides a complete, streamlined AV and digital media presentation solution. In one compact rack mount processor, the UPX-2 fuses touchpanel control with professional annotation, multi-window video processing, and an embedded multimedia PC. The result is a total presentation solution supporting multiple video and digital media formats, complete with real-time annotation that requires no additional computers, software, or hardware dongles.

The UPX-2 puts complete display control in the hands of the presenter, providing independently controllable outputs to the presenter's touchpanel and audience display. Multiple scalable video windows and PC applications can be displayed simultaneously for preview at the podium while the audience sees only what the presenter chooses. In addition to great video and computer, the UPX-2 features incredible touchpanel graphics with 24-bit color depth and 8-bit alpha channel supporting 16.7 million colors, full-motion animations, dynamic text and graphics, transparency, and dramatic transition effects, all with astonishing speed.

DualTouch™ Technology—In combination with a Crestron DualTouch Technology touchpanel (sold separately), the UPX-2 provides full touchpanel control of the AV system and environment, plus native Wacom® Penabled® annotation capability using a wireless pen. DualTouch Technology means the switching between touchpanel and annotation occurs transparently allowing presenters to focus on the presentation instead of the technology.

Embedded PC—With built-in Windows Media® Player, RealPlayer®, and Internet Explorer, plus viewers for Word, Excel, PowerPoint®, and Adobe® Acrobat®, the base model UPX-2-1GB serves as a powerful multimedia presentation source without necessitating a separate computer. The enhanced UPX-2-MSO model adds full-blown Word, Excel and PowerPoint applications, letting presenters freely create and edit presentations and documents right onboard. Both models also include NetMeeting® and Remote Desktop to enable videoconferencing and provide remote access to other computers.

Programmatic control of the embedded applications erases the lines between control system and PC, allowing programmers to customize each application's behavior to create a truly powerful and user-friendly interface. Running the Windows® XP Embedded operating system, the UPX-2 delivers a reliable and secure platform for touchpanel control with integrated PC functionality that’s invulnerable to viruses

or other rogue software. New security features have been added to enable enhanced Web browsing with Java™, ActiveX® and Flash® support.

Both Cresnet and high-speed Ethernet are standard on the UPX-2 providing for seamless communications with Crestron control systems, computers, digital media servers, and other IP-based devices. Adding an external mouse and keyboard as well as cameras, CD ROM drives, and memory devices is possible through a host of PS/2, USB 2.0, RS-232, and IEEE 1394 ports and front mounted PC Card slots.1

Multi-Window Digital Video Processor—In addition to its built-in PC applications, the UPX-2 supports the display of external video and computer sources in up to three simultaneous scalable windows. The built-in seamless video switcher accepts multiple inputs from NTSC/PAL composite, S-Video, component and HDTV sources. Two RGB inputs are also provided to accommodate non-interlaced sources with up to 1600 x 1200 resolution.

Four discrete video scalers are used to process the individual video windows and full-screen outputs. Motion- adaptive deinterlacing brings out the highest detail by minimizing visible scan lines and motion artifacts. Advanced gamma correction and built-in time base correction ensure accurate color reproduction and a jitter-free image.

Individual RGB outputs are provided for the presenter's touchpanel and audience display, allowing the presenter full control over what the audience sees. The presenter output displays the control GUI, including pop-up PC applications
