Introduction
General
The VHD-2 is a scan converter that converts computer VGA signals to TV
(NTSC and PAL) as well as HDTV Component video. It can produce in
real-time a clear and flicker-free TV image with 16.7 million-colors. It
accepts all PC resolutions up to 1600 x 1200. No software driver is
required. The pass-through VGA output allows the user to see the picture
on a local computer monitor as well as the TV screen.
Composite Video, S-Video, and Component Video outputs are provided for
achieving a sharp picture on any TV monitor.
The VHD-2 can output HDTV formats of 480i, 480p, 1080i, and 720p. It
comes with an IR remote that can be used to zoom and pan linearly to any
location on the screen. Furthermore, it can save up to 64 Zoom/Pan
locations for immediate recall making it ideal for computer training video
tape or DVD productions.
Incorporating the latest technologies in scan conversion, it samples the
input the signal from the PC at full resolution and uses advanced DSP
technology to produce the highest TV output format possible.
