INTRODUCTION

1.1.

General Introduction

HQView-100S is a very flexible image scaler developed specifically for driving large screen displays from video sources.

HQView-100S features state of the art digital image processor which provides market leading SD perpixel multiple Iow-angle motion-adaptive de-interlacing and automatic film pull-down correction for 3:2 and 2:2, significantly outperforming the capabilities of benchmark competitor products.

HQView-100S features excellent image processing algorithms for the very best scaling, film and video noise reduction and MPEG artefact reduction.

HQView-100S uses a high performance video decoder with 4x oversampling and 3D Y/C separation for outstanding video image clarity.

The output format can be set to I/O Lock mode where it locks the output frame rate to the input frame rate dynamically without frame rate conversion so as to reduce system latency, or it can be set to a fixed output frame rate for driving basic screens which are not 50Hz-compatible. Furthermore, the HQView100S can be set to have the output resolution match the input resolution to preserve aspect ratio. A Low latency mode with non-motion adaptive reduced processing is available to further reduce latency.

HQView-100 supports Pan, Zoom and Tilt to select a part of the input image, fill the screen and pan within it.

Outputs are available in DVI digital formats. System control is via an OSD controlled by keys on the front panel or through an intuitive ‘Windows’

application connected via a normal RS232 serial port or via TCP/IP (ethernet).
