Product Overview

The V-R261P-AFHDis a 26” widescreen high definition LCD monitor featuring our completely digital TFT-MegaPixel™ active matrix LCD platform. This monitor is an ideal lightweight replacement for CRTs and can be used in all broadcast and professional video applications. Emulation of SMPTE-C/EBU color and adjustable color temperature enable the most precise color representation possible. Our proprietary digital signal processing features 10-bit A/D conversion of all analog signals, with 4X over-sampling and 5-line super-adaptive 2D comb filtering of composite signals. De-interlacing is performed using our HyperProcess™ algorithm with motion adaptive interpolation. Multi-format compatibility accommodates virtually all video formats including NTSC/PAL, 480i/p, 720p, and 1080i/p standards. VGA and DVI inputs accept VESA standards allowing the display to be used as a computer monitor. Advanced features include aspect ratio settings, a variety of screen markers, underscan mode, blue-only mode, monochrome mode, H/V delay, and Pixel-to-Pixel mode.
