The Extron VSC 700 and VSC 700D High Resolution Computer-to-Video Scan Converters combine high performance processing with an expanded feature set designed for easy integration. They accept computer-video signals at resolutions up to 1920x1200 and simultaneously output a scan-converted video signal as NTSC or PAL composite video, S-video, and component video or RGB video. In addition, the VSC 700D includes a fourth, SDI serial digital video output. The VSC 700 and VSC 700D are ideal for use in a wide range of applications, including videoconferencing, video recording, and viewing of computer-video images on an NTSC or PAL monitor or other video display device.

Both models feature Auto-Image™ setup for automatic adjustment of centering, sizing, and filter settings. Additional key features include zoom control up to 200%, a color bar generator, an LCD display for user-friendly menu navigation, memory presets, and a buffered loop-through for local monitor output. For broadcast and production applications, the VSC 700 and VSC 700D include video genlock capability for synchronization to an external reference signal. The VSC 700D adds an SDI output for integration into digital broadcast and production systems.

The VSC 700 and VSC 700D can be controlled via the front panel, RS-232 or RS-422 serial control, or the optional VSC Remote handheld IR remote control. They are housed in rack-mountable 1U, half rack width enclosures and are equipped with an internal international power supply.

Features

Input: Female BNC connectors with buffered loop-through

Outputs: RGB or standard definition component video on five BNCs, S-video on 4-pin mini DIN, composite video on female BNC connector, and SDI on female BNC connector - VSC 700D only

Automatically recognizes and converts computer resolutions from 560x384 to 1920x1200 and frequencies to 100 kHz horizontal and 120 Hz vertical

Buffered loop-through — Provides a local monitor output, enabling the computer input signal to be monitored without the need for a separate distribution amplifier.

Three simultaneous outputs — NTSC or PAL standard video is output as composite video, S-video, and component or RGB video.

Optional SDI output — The VSC 700D features a SMPTE 259M- and ITU.R BT-601-compliant SDI serial digital video output that facilitates the integration of computer-video signal sources into digital broadcast and production applications.

Auto-Image™ setup — Saves time by providing calibration of image size, position, clock, and phase adjustments at the touch of a button.

Vertical filtering — Five selectable vertical filters reduce jitter, improve image quality, and help maintain picture detail.

Horizontal filtering — Four selectable horizontal filters prevent aliasing or pixel elimination so that less detail is dropped when the image is scanned from left to right.

Sizing and centering controls — User-friendly positioning is accessible through the front panel for quick and efficient image setup.

Image zoom control and presets — Eight zoom presets are available for recalling size, position, and filtering, enabling the user to quickly zoom in on a certain area of an image.

Input memory presets — Allow the scan converter to automatically recall up to 16 user presets, 60 factory presets, and eight zoom presets. Each memory location stores filter, size, and centering, or zoom settings for each source which can be recalled instantaneously when switching between different computer-video inputs and resolutions.

Image freeze control — The output video can be frozen using the freeze button on the front panel. This allows the scan converter to capture a frame of video to display for an extended period of time, even after the source has been removed.

Internal color bar generator — An internally-generated color bar pattern is provided for simplified setup of a display. The color bar pattern or a black screen can also be set as the default output when no input signal is present.

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

RS-232 and RS-422 control port — Using serial commands, the VSC 700 and VSC 700D can be controlled and configured via the Extron Windows®-based control program, or integrated into a control system. Extron products use the SIS™ - Simple Instruction Set command protocol, a set of basic ASCII code commands that allow for quick and easy programming.

Optional IR remote control, part # 70-206-01 — The optional VSC Remote handheld IR remote control performs most front panel functions such as image freeze, zoom in and out, size and shift, vertical filter adjustment, and preset selection.

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