Extron electronic manual Six video outputs, USP 405 Introduction

•Input 4 — One 4-pin mini-DIN connector accepts S-video, and one mini- DIN connector outputs a buffered loop-through S-video signal.

•Input 5 (optional) — One BNC connector inputs the optional SDI (serial digital interface) signal.

Six video outputs —

•Composite video — One BNC connector for composite video

•Component video — Three BNC connectors for R-Y, B-Y, Y

•SDI video (optional) — One BNC connector for serial digital interface (optional)

•S-video— One 4-pin mini-DIN connector for S-video

•RGB video — One 15-pin HD connector for RGB/computer video

•RGB/HDTV video — Five BNC connectors for HDTV R-Y, B-Y, Y (component) video

Four ways to control the USP 405 — The USP’s front panel, a computer or other RS-232 control device, the optional IR 801 remote control, or contact closure control can all be used to control the USP.

Scaled outputs — The USP 405 offers 35 different output rates.

RS-232 configuration — The USP 405 can be configured by using the Extron control software for Windows, or by using a third party control system.

Freeze button — Each input of the USP 405 can be frozen using the Freeze button. Once the input is frozen, the input signal can be removed and the frozen output image is not lost.

Quad-standard video decoding capability — The USP 405 uses a digital, four- line adaptive comb filter to decode NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and SECAM signals.

Accu-RATE Frame Lock™ — The patented Extron Accu-RATE Frame Lock™ eliminates artifacts from scaled motion video by eliminating frame rate conversion. It locks the output frame rate to the input frame rate of the active input. The result is a switching system that eliminates image tears and other artifacts from motion video.

Dynamic Motion Interpolation™ (DMI™) — This video processing technique is an advanced motion prediction and compensation method that treats motion content and still content with different algorithms to yield high fidelity images.

3:2 pulldown detection for NTSC and 2:2 film detection for PAL video sources — These advanced film mode processing features help maximize image detail and sharpness for video sources that originated from film. When film is converted to NTSC video, the film frame rate has to be matched to the video frame rate in a process called 3:2 pulldown. Jaggies and other image artifacts can result if conventional deinterlacing techniques are used on film-source video. The USP 405’s advanced film mode processing recognizes signals that originated from film. The USP 405 then applies video processing algorithms that optimize the conversion of video that was made with the 3:2 pulldown process. This results in richly detailed images with sharply defined lines. A similar process is used for PAL film-source video.

Versatile mounting options — The UPS 405 can be rack mounted, or it can be placed on a table or other furniture. Rubber feet and rack mounting hardware are included.
