The Extron VSC 900 and VSC 900D are Two Input High Resolution Computer-to-Video Scan Converters with Genlock that combine superior processing with an advanced feature set, including BNC RGB and 15-pin HD inputs with loop-through outputs for easy integration. In addition, the VSC 900D offers an SDI digital output.

The VSC 900 and VSC 900D accept computer-video signals with resolutions up to 1600x1200 and output a scan converted NTSC or PAL video signal as composite video, S-video, component video, and/or RGB video. Both models are designed to be integrated into broadcast facilities and other demanding production, training, and presentation environments. They offer exceptional output quality, the ability to genlock to an external blackburst signal, and/or optional SDI output. Other applications include videoconferencing, video recording, and viewing images on an NTSC or PAL monitor or other display device.

Features

• Inputs: Female 15-pin HD and five female BNCs with buffered loop-throughs
• Outputs: RGBHV on five BNCs, S-video on 4-pin mini DIN, composite video on female BNC connector, and SDI on female BNC connector - VSC 900D only
• Compatible with computer resolutions from 560x384 to 1600x1200 and frequencies to 100 kHz horizontal and 120 Hz vertical
• Eight vertical/flicker, four horizontal, and four encoder filtering levels — The VSC 900 and VSC 900D have eight vertical filter settings and four horizontal filters selectable through the front panel LCD navigation menus. Filters reduce jitter, improve image stability, and assure that minimal picture detail is dropped during scan conversion.
• Auto-Image™ automatically optimizes output — A press of a button automatically adjusts the sizing, centering, and filtering to optimize the output image. This can save time and effort in fine tuning displayed images.
• Horizontal and vertical sizing, zooming, and panning — Both VSC 900 models feature variable zoom up to 200% to allow for panning across the screen. User-friendly positioning, including centering and sizing, is accessible through the front panel for quick and efficient image setup.
• Autoscanning of computer-video inputs — Automatically recognizes and converts incoming computer-video signals at resolutions up to 1600x1200, horizontal scan rates up to 100 kHz, and vertical refresh rates up to 120 Hz.
• 60 factory and 16 user auto-memory presets for picture control settings
• Eight zoom presets — Eight zoom presets are available for recalling size, position, and filtering, accessible via RS-232 or RS-422 control or the optional IR. This feature enables the user to quickly zoom in on a certain area of the image.
• Image freeze control — The output signal of the VSC 900 and VSC 900D can be frozen using the freeze button on the front panel or RS-232. This feature 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.
• Video genlock — All NTSC and PAL video outputs can be synchronized to an external reference signal for integration into broadcast and production applications.
• Chroma attenuation for broadcast environments — Chroma attenuation is an ideal feature for broadcast environments where colors in logos and images must be set at 75% saturation for transmission. The VSC 900 and VSC 900D have the ability to attenuate an input signal's chroma level down to the correct output level, eliminating the need to re-create the image and/or content.
• Internal test pattern generator - color bars, 32 x 32 crosshatch, 4 x 4 crosshatch, and gray scale — The VSC 900 and VSC 900D offer four test patterns for quick and easy monitor setup.
• RS-232 and RS-422 serial control port — Using serial commands, the VSC 900 and VSC 900D can be controlled and configured via the Extron Windows®-based control program, or integrated into third-party control systems. Extron products use the SIS™ - Simple Instruction Set command protocol, a set of basic ASCII code commands that allow for quick and easy programming. The RS-232 and RS-422 port also makes it easy to install firmware updates.
• Front panel security lockout — Ideal for unsecured environments, this feature enables the user to lock out all front panel functions except centering controls; all functions however, are available through RS-232 and RS-422 control.
• IR remote control using optional VSC Remote, part # 70-206-01
• Rack-mountable 1U, full rack width metal enclosure
