Display Capability


ImageStar HD allows any one of the four possible inputs to be scaled up to fill the target display.

Output Channels


The ImageStar HD has four output channels, each capable of driving a wide range of display devices.
Up to four outputs can be driven with a resolution of up to SXGA (1280 × 1024 pixels). Beyond this
resolution and up to SXGA+ (1408 ×1050) or 1080i (1920 × 1080i) up to two outputs can be driven.

For a full list of supported output modes see page 85

Output/Display Mapping


By default, the ImageStar HD output channels are configured to drive a 2×2 target display. However,
any rectangular arrangement of screens can be accommodated by changing the output mapping.

On a single unit, for example, display layouts of 1Ч2, 1Ч3, 1Ч4, 2Ч1, 3Ч1 or 4×1 screens are possible.

By using multiple units, the overall size of the target display can be extended to 8×8 screens (or
equivalent rectangular arrangement using up to 64 screens).

Even larger displays are possible but these are difficult to quantify because size limits become
dependant on source and display screen resolutions. Furthermore, an 8×8 target display will require
16 ImageStar HD units to drive it and may not be the most cost-effective solution to driving such a
large display!
