• 41 selectable output rates from 640x480 to 1400x1050 — The USP 405 offers 41 scaled output rates, including these computer-video and plasma rates: 640x480, 800x600, 832x624, 848x480, 852x480, 1024x768, 1280x768, 1280x1024, 1360x765, 1365x1024, and 1400x1050. NTSC, PAL, and HDTV 720p/60 are also available.

• Quad standard video decoding — The DVS 406 uses a digital, four-line adaptive comb filter to decode NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and SECAM for integration in systems worldwide.

• Input RGB signals can be scaled or scan converted — RGB signals can be scaled to one of 41 output rates or scan converted to component, S-video, composite, and SDI - either NTSC or PAL.

• Input video signals can be scaled or transcoded — Input component, S-video, composite, and SDI signals can be transcoded and output on all connectors in each format simultaneously, or scaled to one of 41 resolutions and output on BNCs or 15-pin HD.

• Patented 3:2 NTSC and 2:2 PAL pulldown detection — Advanced film mode processing techniques which help maximize image detail and sharpness for NTSC or PAL sources that originated from film.

• Aspect ratio conversion — Ability to horizontally and vertically size any video input to meet a specific aspect ratio.

• Optional SDI input and output — The USP 405 is available with SDI input and output that complies with SMPTE 259M and ITU-BT R.601 standards for data rates up to 270 Mbps - USP 405 DI/O.

• AFL™ - Patented Accu-RATE Frame Lock — A patented technology exclusive to Extron that solves frame rate conversion issues experienced by video scalers. When video input and output refresh rates differ, there are certain points in time when the two rates cross over each other. The result is a glitch or image freeze on the display. AFL solves this problem by locking the output frame rate to the input frame rate.

• DMI™ - Dynamic Motion Interpolation — DMI technology is an advanced motion detection and compensation method used to deliver the best aspects of still and motion algorithms. This process results in a superior level of image enhancement capability with no loss of image fidelity.

• Buffered loop-through inputs — Input one has a buffered local monitor output on a female 15-pin HD connector, and inputs three and four include buffered loop-through connectors on a female BNC and a 4-pin mini DIN connector, respectively.

• Video genlock — All video outputs - NTSC and PAL - can be synchronized to an external reference signal for integration into broadcast and production applications.

• Internal test patterns for calibration and set-up — Ten test patterns are available, including a crop pattern, crosshatch, 16 bar gray scale, color bars, alternating pixels, ramp, 4 x 4 crosshatch for use with video walls, and three film aspect ratio patterns - 1.78, 1.85, and 2.35 - for setting up letterbox DVDs. It also features a blue-only mode for proper setup of video color and tint levels.

• Input freeze control — Each input of the USP 405 can be frozen using the freeze button on the front panel. When the freeze is pressed, it will light red and the input that is selected will flash. Once an input has been frozen, the input to the unit can be removed and the frozen output image will not be lost until another source has been selected.

• Picture controls for brightness, contrast, centering, color, tint, detail, size, zoom, and panning

• 32 auto-recall memory presets — Inputs one and two support 32 auto-recall memory presets each, based on incoming frequency. Information on sizing, centering, detail, contrast, and brightness is saved.

• Variable top and bottom vertical blanking — Eliminates edge noise caused by tapehead switching and captioning.

• RS-232 control port — Using serial commands, the USP 405 can be controlled and configured via the Extron Windows®-based control program, or integrated into control systems. Extron products use the SIS™ - Simple Instruction Set command protocol, a set of basic ASCII code commands that allow for quick and easy programming.

• Front panel security lockout — This feature locks out all front panel functions except basic switching; all functions however, are available through RS-232 control.

• Rack-mountable 1U, full rack width metal enclosure - mounting brackets included

• Internal universal power supply — The 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, international power supply provides worldwide power compatibility.
