Universal Presentation Processor

UPX-2

UPX Universal Presentation System

Crestron's revolutionary UPX-2 Universal Presentation

Processor provides a complete, streamlined AV and

digital media presentation solution. In one compact rack

mount processor, the UPX-2 fuses touchpanel control with

professional annotation, multi-window video processing,

and an embedded multimedia PC. The result is a total

presentation solution supporting multiple video and

digital media formats, complete with real-time annotation

that requires no additional computers, software, or

hardware dongles.

The UPX-2 puts complete display control in the hands

of the presenter, providing independently controllable

outputs to the presenter's touchpanel and audience display.

Multiple scalable video windows and PC applications can be

displayed simultaneously for preview at the podium while the

audience sees only what the presenter chooses. In addition

to great video and computer, the UPX-2 features incredible

touchpanel graphics with 24-bit color depth and 8-bit alpha

channel supporting 16.7 million colors, full-motion animations,

dynamic text and graphics, transparency, and dramatic

transition effects, all with astonishing speed.

DualTouch™ Technology—In combination with a Crestron

DualTouch Technology touchpanel (sold separately), the

UPX-2 provides full touchpanel control of the AV system

and environment, plus native Wacom

capability using a wireless pen. DualTouch Technology

means the switching between touchpanel and annotation

occurs transparently allowing presenters to focus on the

presentation instead of the technology.

, the base model

UPX-2-1GB serves as a powerful multimedia presentation

source without necessitating a separate computer. The

enhanced UPX-2-MSO model adds full-blown Word, Excel

and PowerPoint applications, letting presenters freely create

and edit presentations and documents right onboard. Both

models also include NetMeeting

®

and Remote Desktop to

enable videoconferencing and provide remote access to

other computers.

Programmatic control of the embedded applications

erases the lines between control system and PC, allowing

programmers to customize each application's behavior to

create a truly powerful and user-friendly interface. Running

the Windows® XP Embedded operating system, the UPX-2

delivers a reliable and secure platform for touchpanel control

with integrated PC functionality that’s invulnerable to viruses

or other rogue software. New security features have been

added to enable enhanced Web browsing with Java™,

support.

Both Cresnet and high-speed Ethernet are standard on the

UPX-2 providing for seamless communications with Crestron

control systems, computers, digital media servers, and other

IP-based devices. Adding an external mouse and keyboard

as well as cameras, CD ROM drives, and memory devices is

possible through a host of PS/2, USB 2.0, RS-232, and IEEE

1394 ports and front mounted PC Card slots.1

Multi-Window Digital Video Processor—In addition to

its built-in PC applications, the UPX-2 supports the display

of external video and computer sources in up to three

simultaneous scalable windows. The built-in seamless video

switcher accepts multiple inputs from NTSC/PAL composite,

S-Video, component and HDTV sources. Two RGB inputs

are also provided to accommodate non-interlaced sources

with up to 1600 x 1200 resolution.

Four discrete video scalers are used to process the

individual video windows and full-screen outputs. Motion-

adaptive deinterlacing brings out the highest detail by

minimizing visible scan lines and motion artifacts. Advanced

gamma correction and built-in time base correction ensure

accurate color reproduction and a jitter-free image.

Individual RGB outputs are provided for the presenter's

touchpanel and audience display, allowing the presenter full

control over what the audience sees. The presenter output

displays the control GUI, including pop-up PC applications
