USP 507 • Introduction
1-4
Features
Inputs: Two RGB or HD component video on 15-pin HD connectors; configurable
input on BNCs for RGB, HD/SD component video, S-video, or composite video;
component video, S-video, or composite video on BNCs; S-video or composite
video on BNCs; DVI-D; and optional SDI/HD-SDI.
Outputs: Simultaneous scaled outputs as RGB or HD component video on BNCs,
15-pin HD, and Extron MTP twisted pair output; optional fourth output for
DVI-D, HD-SDI, or scan-converted component video, S-video, or composite
video.
Hardware-based graphics and video processing — The USP 507 features a fully
hardware-based system architecture designed to deliver the performance and
operational reliability essential for mission-critical applications.
Integrated seven-input presentation switcher — The USP 507 allows for switching
between DVI, RGBHV, component video, and S-video or composite video
sources. An input for SDI/HD-SDI is available as an option.
Auto input format detection — Each input can be set to detect the incoming signal
format, automatically reconfiguring itself to provide the appropriate decoding
and signal processing. This feature can reduce the number of required outputs
for a device, lowering system cost while improving manageability.
RGB, HDTV, and video scaling — RGB computer-video, high definition video, and
standard definition video sources can be scaled to the desired output resolution.
RGB upscaling and downscaling — The USP 507 features an advanced scaling
engine with high quality upscaling and downscaling of high resolution
computer-video signals.
Optional SDI/HD-SDI input — SDI or HD-SDI signals from cameras or other
professional video equipment can easily be integrated into presentations with the
optional SDI/HD-SDI input board.
Four simultaneous video outputs — Two high resolution RGB or component video
outputs are available, as well as Extron MTP twisted pair and an optional output
that can be configured as DVI, HD-SDI, or scan-converted video.
Extron MTP twisted pair output — This provides built-in transmission of RGB or
component video signals over twisted pair cables for long distance transmission
to a remote display. A compatible Extron MTP Series twisted pair receiver is
required.
Optional DVI, HD-SDI, or scan-converted output — A flexible output expansion
port which can be populated to support optional DVI, HD-SDI, or scan converter
output boards. These boards offer additional system capabilities, such as
recording or digital signal transmission.
Output rates — A total of 81 output rates are available, including computer-video
rates up to 1920x1200, and HDTV rates up to 1080p/60 Hz.
Image freeze control — A live image can be frozen using the freeze button on the
front panel, or through RS-232 serial control and IP Link
®
Ethernet control.
Image capture — A snapshot of the live video output can be captured and stored as
a BMP file on the USP 507 or downloaded to a PC for archiving. Up to 40 MB of
space is available on the USP 507 for screen captures.
Auto-Image
™
— Using the front panel, the sizing, centering, and filtering can be
automatically adjusted to optimize the output image.
