The SuperView 3000 video windowing system displays up to twelve live video/computer windows on a high-resolution, RGB display device.

Each channel accepts RGB, component video, composite video, and S-Video sources for simultaneous display in windows on a high-resolution, RGB display device. Each video signal is displayed in a dedicated window on the output display, and can be independently scaled, postioned, and zoomed.

The SuperView can be operated either in Autosync mode with a host computer input contributing a background image and providing the output signal characteristics, or in Free-run mode with the user specifying the output signal. Autosync mode has two different states. If the background signal is connected and visible, this is referred to as background Autosync mode. If the signal is connected but turned off, then this is referred to as genlock Autosync mode; the output characteristics of the signal are provided even though the signal is not visible. Note that the Autosync mode is only available if your system has the optional BACKGROUND INPUT connector.

In Autosync mode, SuperView windows are combined with a high-resolution "background" signal generated from a host computer or image generator. The host computer can be a Sun, HP, DEC, IBM, or SGI workstation, or a PC- compatible. The only requirement is that the computer produces analog RGB output with a pixel resolution between 640x480 and 1600x1200, at a horizontal scan rate between 15 and 100kHz.

An optional front panel is available for control of the SuperView. The front panel allows you to select and adjust any of your windows, save and recall preset configurations, and adjust your output display. Even if you ultimately intend to control the SuperView over the serial port, the front panel allows you to get “up and running” quickly, and provides some feedback on input and output status.

The SuperView can be controlled with ASCII commands sent from a computer, or serial console, via the serial port. During your initial experimentation with the SuperView serial port, you will probably find it easier to use a terminal, or a
