Extron VSC300 Computer to Video Scan Converter

VSC 300 and VSC 300D

The VSC 300 and VSC 300D integrate new design technology with eight levels of horizontal and ten levels of vertical user-selectable filters. Since vertical filtering reduces flicker, and horizontal filtering assures no detail is dropped during scan conversion, the VSC 300 produces the most stable picture available. It autoscans images up to 1600 x 1280 resolution at 100 kHz horizontal and 120 Hz vertical frequency, for compatibility with almost any computer or workstation. Their exceptional pixel clock zoom rate is a key feature for displaying clearer images after zooming in on CAD diagrams, for example. Consequentially, the VSC 300 and VSC 300D produce stunning video, even on zoomed images. The VSC 300 and VSC 300D are RS-232 controllable with Extron's Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) and outputs RGBS/HV as well as component (Y, U, V), S-video and composite video. Full performance variable zoom and H+V size, centering and pan controls also come standard. The VSC 300 and VSC 300D have a scalable output, providing compatibility with VGA/SVGA computer video (including 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 832 x 624, 832 x 480 and 1024 x 768). This capability is crucial when the application demands that computer video from workstations running at high scan rates and resolutions be displayed on LCD, DLP and Plasma which have a lower resolution. In this way, the VSC 300 can be used to view video created on SGI or SUN workstations without having to rely on workstation monitors. Genlock capabilities come standard on the VSC 300 and VSC 300D. So does a memory feature, which allows 16 user presets; an additional 10 are preprogrammed. To facilitate adjustments and controls, a full function LCD on the front panel displays menus and options. The VSC 300D is identical to the VSC 300 but has an added digital video output module. Both models have 24 bit sampling, providing 8 bits per color for 16.8 million colors.
