Barco Screen Pro II HDThe ScreenPRO-II Seamless Switcher is a high-resolution multi-layer video display system that combines seamless switching with a variety of creative video effects. The result is a versatile video production tool for live event staging and fixed installation applications. ScreenPRO-II uses five image layers to produce sophisticated effects, including transitioning backgrounds, transitioning PIPs, wipes, dissolves and keys.The five ScreenPRO-II layers are: • One unscaled background • Two scaled inputs • One unscaled downstream key • One LOGOUsing the mixer’s two scaled inputs, you can mix within a PIP, or you can display two independent PIPs (or Keys) over a background. In addition, two unscaled high-resolution input channels enable you to transition seamlessly between background images, or alternately, to use one high-resolution background plus a high-resolution DSK. A LOGO is also available as a full screen source, using still frames captured from the background inputs or from the layers.Features: • Support for input and output resolutions up to UXGA • High quality motion adaptive de-interlacing on SD and HD sources • Low video processing delay, less than 3 input fields • 3RU rack-mount chassis • Native high-resolution background channels independent of the PIP/Key processing channels • Internal 8 x 2 analog video router for selecting scaler inputs, plus (on the HD model), internal 2 x 2 HD-SDI/SD-SDI router. • Native high resolution DSK channel, independent of PIP/KEY processing channelsSystem Overview • PIP effects: ~ PIP size from 1/8 to 8x source resolution ~ Adjustable PIP aspect ratio ~ PIP borders, including drop shadows and soft edge • Transitioning PIP or Key on a transitioning background • Numerous mix and wipe effects • Programmable matte • Keying ~ Luminance key ~ Split key (key alpha and fill) ~ Color key • Video Processing ~ 10-bit processing ~ 1:1 pixel sampling ~ Motion adaptive de-interlacing (SD & HD) ~ 3:2 and 2:2 pull down detect ~ Image cropping ~ Aspect ratio correction • Z-order control (priority layers) for overlapping PIPs or Keys • The mixer layer is dynamically re-assignable as a mixing (transitioning) PIP, or as two individual (SPLIT) non-transitioning PIPs or Keys • Three assignable, internal frame stores • Lookahead preview • Output synchronization: free-run or vertically locked to NTSC/PAL black burst, CSync or HD tri-level sync
