Extron Electronics USP 405 User Guide - Manual (Page 15)

1-3 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.
