The Extron USP 405 Universal Signal Processor is the one box solution for all video signal conversion needs. It is an all-in-one, high-performance scaler, scan converter, transconverter, format converter, switcher, and transcoder. The USP 405 accepts a wide range of video signal formats, processes them, and outputs them all in one format directly to a digital display, projector, or editing device. The applications for the USP 405 include rental and staging environments, boardrooms, conference rooms, classrooms, auditoriums, and much more.

The USP 405 is especially useful for upconverting or downconverting video and computer-video. It can convert HDTV, component video, S-video, NTSC and PAL composite video, RGB, and optional SDI - Serial Digital Interface into a single video format — all while maintaining maximum image quality. RGB signals that are input into the USP 405 can be scaled to one of 41 output resolutions, or scan converted to component video, S-video, NTSC and PAL composite video, and SDI. Video signals that are input as component, S-video, composite, and SDI can be transcoded by the USP 405 and output through all video connectors simultaneously. These video signals can also be scaled to one of 41 resolutions and output on 15-pin HD and BNC connectors.

There are five video inputs on the USP 405, including optional SDI input, accessible through the rear panel: one female 15-pin HD connector for RGB with a buffered local monitor output; five female BNC connectors for RGB, HDTV/component video, S-video, or composite video; one 4-pin mini DIN for S-video with a buffered loop-through; one female BNC for composite video with a buffered loop-through; and one female BNC for the optional SDI video.

The USP 405 has six video outputs, including optional SDI output, also on the rear panel: one female 15-pin HD connector and five female BNC connectors for RGB and HDTV/component video; three female BNC connectors for component video; one 4-pin mini DIN for S-video; one female BNC connector for composite video; and one female BNC connector for the optional SDI video.

To maximize the quality of the output image, the USP 405 features several Extron proprietary video processing technologies: DMI™ - Dynamic Motion Interpolation, 3:2 NTSC and 2:2 PAL pulldown detection, and the patented AFL™ - Accu-RATE Frame Lock.

The USP 405 is available in two configurations: the standard USP 405, and the USP 405 DI/O with SDI input and output. This universal signal processor comes with an easy-to-read LCD menu and back-lit, tactile buttons to simplify operation and control. It can also be controlled by IR remote with the optional Extron IR 801.
