Chapter 1 – Introduction
Overview
The HDP3 is a miniature 3G/HD/SD-SDI to DVI-D converter for digital display
devices (graphics and video), such as LED, LCD, DLP and Plasma monitors (and
projectors) with support for 1080p60. Using a very high quality scaling engine,
the HDP3 will automatically size 4:3 or 16:9 inputs to many DVI-D monitors.
For appropriate monitor configurations, scaling is automatically 1 to 1—for
example, displaying 1920x1080 video on a WUXGA (1920x1200) monitor. Where
appropriate, the HDP3 can automatically adapt the input frame rate for monitor
compatibility. In addition, the HDP3 provides 8 channel embedded audio over
HDMI, 2 channel analog audio monitoring, and a looping output of the SDI input.
The HDP3 is designed for general monitoring, perfect for use in applications
such as: General post-production reference monitoring, Client monitoring,
Presentation, Projection, Corporate displays, Kiosk applications, and more.
Deep color is supported in RGB and YCbCr. USB connectivity allows for easy PC/
Mac setup and field upgrades.
Features
• 3G/HD/SD-SDI to DVI-D
• DVI v1.0 and HDMI v1.3a support (via DVI-D connector), including:

• Setup via DIP switch or PC/Mac using USB port and supplied USB cable (MiniCong conguration software application available via download from AJA
website)
• 5 year warranty
Monitor Compatibility
The HDP3 is designed to work with most DVI-D monitors. HDMI monitors are
also supported with a standard, inexpensive DVI-to-HDMI cable or adapter (user
supplied). The HDP3 uses the industry standard EDID communication protocol
(within the DVI or HDMI link) to communicate with the monitor, and then adjust
the HDP3’s internal scaling engine to scale the input video to the native resolution
of the monitor. However, due to the hundreds of variations of DVI formats
currently in use, proper operation with all monitors cannot be guaranteed.
To ensure the greatest compatibility with today's available digital display devices,
the HDP3 will, by default, provide VESA or CEA standard timing.
Frame Locking
Auto
Use this mode to ensure greatest compatibility with other monitors. The HDP3
will use standardized output timing for most monitors. If the attached monitor
(such as an HP DreamColor) is recognized as having enhanced capabilities, then
special, frame-locked timing will be used.
Manual
Selecting an output frame rate that matches the input frame rate will provide a
vertically locked signal to the monitor, and may yield the best results. Note that
not all monitors will be able to accept these signals.
Recommended Monitors
The monitors listed below have been verified to work with one or more of the
manual frame rate selections.
• HP 24" LP2480zx DreamColor
• Apple 23" HD Cinema, model M9178LL/A (aluminum bezel)
• Sony 23", model SDM-P234
• Viewsonic VP231wb
• Dell 2405FPW
• Barco LC-42
• Barco LC-47
• Westinghouse LVM-37wl
• Sony Bravia Series
• Sharp Aquos Series
Optimal Performance with HP LP2480zx DreamColor
When using the HDP3 with an HP LP2480zx, the best results are obtained by
using the default HDP3 “Auto” selections (no action required—unless you’ve
changed the factory defaults using the Mini-Config software supplied).
HDP3 Mini-Converter v1.0r2 5 www.aja.com
Page 6
Automatic 720p or 1080p Support
Monitors that report 1280x720 or 1920x1080 in their “Preferred Timing Mode”
section of EDID readback will receive a 1280x720 or 1920x1080p signal,
respectively, from the HDP3.
Manual 720p or 1080p Support
The HDP3 can be configured manually for 720p or 1080p. This is discussed under
“USB Control and Setup” later in this manual.
NOTE: For best results when using video display devices, it is recommended that a
monitor capable of displaying the “Full 1080p” image be used.
VESA and CEA Timing
By default, the HDP3 will automatically output standardized VESA rate graphics
where appropriate when a computer resolution is detected, and standardized
CEA rate video when a video device, such as an HDTV is detected. Not all VESA
rates are synchronous to SMPTE standard video input rates. However, the HDP3
can be configured manually by selecting an output frame rate that matches the
incoming frame rate. By doing so, enhanced timing signals will be generated that
will be locked to the incoming video.
NOTE: Some monitors may not be able to handle some of these enhanced timing
modes. For best results, refer to the list of recommended monitors that have been
tested to lock at one or more of the user-selectable frame rates.
Motion Adaptive De-interlacing
Video displayed on DVI progressive display devices requires de-interlacing
technology to properly display the video from its native interlace format. HDP3
uses advanced motion adaptive de-interlacing to predict motion in the video
stream and output a quality picture using spatial and temporal comparisons on
individual pixels.
10-Bit and Deep Color Support
HDP3 supports the HDMI v1.3a specification for Deep Color bit depths. In
operation, HDP3 can support Deep Color bit depths up to 30 bits/pixel (1.073
billion colors).
Video Scaling
The HDP3 will scale the input video to the best fit for a given monitor and video
input. In cases where the input video and the monitor are already the same or
similar, the HDP3 automatically turns off scaling. For example, a 1920 x1080 video
and a 1920 x1200 monitor will not be scaled.

NOTE: The HDP3 also properly supports 16:10 and 5:4 monitors.
If the HDP3 scaling is set to 1:1 via the control panel, the input raster will be
displayed unscaled. This means that input rasters smaller than the monitor appear
as a “floating” image surrounded by black. For example, a 1280 x 720 image on a
1920 x 1200 monitor only fills about 40% of the screen. Standard definition inputs
unscaled on a 1920 x 1200 monitor only fill about 20% of the screen. This mode
will only work when the input raster is smaller than the monitor resolution.
If the HDP3 scaling is set to “Auto”, the HDP3 will scale the image to best fit
the screen while preserving the aspect ratio. In some cases, a letterboxed or
pillarboxed image can be expected.
Vertical Locking
“Pillarbox”
16 x 9 Monitor
Full Screen
4 x 3 Monitor
Depending on the input frame rate and the capabilities of the monitor in use,
the HDP3 will provide a vertically locked signal to the monitor. Because most DVI
monitors have their own internal scaling, the internal scaler of the monitor may
or may not lock vertically to the HDP3 output. The recommended monitor list
shown earlier lists only monitors which have been tested for proper vertical lock.
The HDP3 works with many LED/LCD/DLP/Plasma monitors not shown on the
recommended monitor list—however, these monitors may have one of two types
of issues associated with not being vertically locked:
Frame Add/Drop
The monitor occasionally adds or drops a frame of video which appears as
discontinuous motion. For example, a moving object may appear to briefly pause
or jump ahead.
Motion Tearing
The monitor displays video from two different fields or frames on screen. This
appears as a horizontal discontinuity in the video during motion. For example, a
moving object may appear to be split horizontally with the upper part ahead or
behind the lower part.

updating
When the HDP3 is manually configured for a particular output frame rate, the
output will run in lock-step with the video input. For best results, (without
any added or dropped frames), select an output frame rate that matches the
incoming video frame rate.
