This product has been retired.

The Extron VSC 900D High Resolution Computer-to-Video Scan Converter combines superior image processing technologies with an advanced feature set engineered for the most demanding broadcast, production, training, and presentation environments. It accepts computer-video signals at resolutions up to 1920x1200 and component analog HDTV signals up to 1080p/60, and simultaneously outputs a scan-converted video signal as NTSC or PAL composite video, S-video, component video or RGB video, and SDI serial digital video. With both 5-BNC and 15-pin HD inputs, and buffered loop-through outputs, the VSC 900D is designed for easy integration into any high-end video system application.

The VSC 900D features 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 buffered loop-throughs for local monitor output.

For broadcast and production applications, the VSC 900D offers a number of special features. Video genlock capability enables synchronization of the VSC 900D video output to an external reference signal. An SDI output is included for integration into digital broadcast and production systems. In addition, the chroma level for the input signal can be attenuated as necessary for proper transmission. The VSC 900D also offers internal test patterns for quick and easy set-up of a monitor or display.

The VSC 900D can be controlled via the front panel, RS-232 or RS-422 serial control, or the optional VSC Remote handheld IR remote control. It is housed in a rack-mountable 1U, full rack width enclosure and is equipped with an internal international power supply.

Features

Inputs: Female 15-pin HD and five female BNCs with buffered loop-throughs

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

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

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

SDI output — The VSC 900D 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 — Four selectable vertical filters reduce jitter, improve image quality, and help maintain picture detail.

Horizontal filtering — Eight 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 test pattern generator — The VSC 900D offers four test patterns – color bars, 32 x 32 crosshatch, 4 x 4 crosshatch, and gray scale – for quick and easy monitor set-up.

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.

Chroma attenuation — Ideal for broadcast environments where colors in logos and images must be set at 75% saturation for transmission. The VSC 900D has the ability to attenuate an input signal's chroma level down to the correct output level, eliminating the need to recreate the image and/or content.

RS-232 and RS-422 control port — Using serial commands, the VSC 900D 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.

Rack-mountable 1U, full rack width metal enclosure

Highly reliable, energy-efficient internal universal power supply — The 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, international power supply provides worldwide power compatibility with high demonstrated reliability.
