Storage Devices

A USB drive (connected to one of the USB ports) or a PCMCIA Flash Card adaptor card and flash memory card can be used to store the Word, Excel, and other files that can be read by the embedded applications. These storage devices can also be used to save the MediaMarker presentations and Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files created with the UPX-2. Refer to “MediaMarker” on page 72 for additional MediaMarker information.

NOTE: Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files can only be created on the UPX-2-MSO.

The UPX-2 supports removable storage devices such as compact flash via PC-Card or USB interface. When a device is inserted (for example, a PC-Card in the front ports of the UPX-2), a drive letter is assigned by the UPX-2 for access to that storage. The first device is assigned the drive letter G.

• If the assigned drive letter is for temporary use, no further steps are required.

Operations Guide – DOC. 6276B Universal Presentation Processor: UPX-2 ¥ xix

Crestron UPX-2 Universal Presentation Processor

• If one or more devices are added to the UPX-2 for continuous use, ensure they are connected and then reboot the UPX-2. The assigned drive letters will not change unless you change the connected devices or reboot without the device(s) connected. From this point forward, you can connect and disconnect other temporary use devices without rebooting. This is only a configuration step and not required for normal use. The device will function even if this step is not performed. However, rebooting with the storage devices connected will guarantee that drive assignment letters will remain consistent for long-term use.

2. Damage may occur.

NOTE: Certain USB flash drives may not be recognized by the UPX-2 if they are left connected during a reboot or when power is cycled. To recognize a USB flash drive that is not recognized by the UPX-2, disconnect and reconnect the drive after the UPX-2 has completed rebooting.

This concludes the Quick Start section of the UPX-2 Operations Guide. Continue reading for more information on installing and operating the UPX-2. Programming tips and reference information are contained in the latest version of the UPX-2 Reference Guide (Doc. 6286) which is available from the Crestron website.

wireless pen or your finger to annotate freely over the presentation video. Two highresolution RGB outputs provide separately controlled signals for the DTT touchpanel graphical user interface (Output A) and the audience display (Output B). Other third party touchpanels can be used with the UPX-2 as well. Refer to “Touch Screen” on page 30 or contact Crestron for more information.

The built-in MediaMarker annotation capability allows the presenter to draw or write electronically on the DTT touchpanel display with the precision of a handheld pen, drawing freehand on a blank screen, highlighting points over a still image or motion video, or making notes on a computer-based spreadsheet. At all times the presenter has full control over the entire presentation and controls what the audience sees, and can save screen images in JPEG, BMP, PNG, and HTML to a network drive, a portable flash card inserted into one of the two front panel PC card ports, or a USB drive. All annotation processing is built into the UPX-2, so there is no need to connect additional boxes or load any special software.

With embedded PC applications including Windows NetMeeting, RealPlayer, Remote Desktop, Java Runtime, and viewers for Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel, Word, and Adobe Acrobat files, the UPX-2 serves as a powerful multimedia presentation source without necessitating a separate computer. The Intel Celeron®A based PC inside the UPX-2 delivers reliable PC performance running under the Windows XP Embedded operating system.

NOTE: RealPlayer, Remote Desktop, and Java Runtime capabilities are only included on UPX-2s with the 1GB compact flash operating system. Users with the 512MB compact flash operating system can upgrade to the 1GB compact flash by ordering either Crestron part number UPX-OS1GB or part number UPX-OS1GB-MSO. For ordering information, contact Crestron.

The UPX-2 includes complete connectivity plus support for peripherals through a single USB 2.0 port and two PC Card slots on the front panel, with two PS/2

ports,

three USB 2.0 ports, and one IEEE 1394 port on the rear panel.

The UPX-2 is also enabled to control other connected computers. The Crestron exclusive “Touch the PC” technology allows real time touchpanel navigation of any Windows PC through a direct high-speed serial connection. One bi-directional COM port is provided to support the Touch the PC functionality, or allow connection to control a third-party device via RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485. The AUX COM port is used for communications with Crestron Toolbox and sending touchpanel programs.

The UPX-2 supports the display of up to three simultaneous, unique scalable source windows on a single DualTouch Technology touchpanel. Up to six video inputs and two RGB/computer inputs may be selectively routed to any of the three on-screen windows. You can connect up to six video sources (if all are composite), and you can show up to three windows simultaneously onscreen, however only two video sources and one RGB source or two RGB sources and one video source can be displayed at one time. More precisely, you can display up to three windows showing any combination of up to two video sources (one of which can be HDTV), and up to two computer sources. The built-in seamless video switcher accepts inputs from NTSC/PAL composite, S-video, and component video sources, and includes support for all popular HDTV formats.

Two high-resolution RGB outputs are provided. Output A normally connects to a DTT-15V2 or DTT-17 touchpanel (or other third party devices) to display the graphical user interface (GUI) that contains the AV controls, pop-up PC applications, and up to three video/RGB windows. Output B connects to a projector or plasma display and may be selected to view the same GUI as the touchpanel (with some control tool icons hidden) or a full screen image of any input source or internal PC

application. Each video window is processed by a discrete video scaler, utilizing motion adaptive deinterlacing, which brings out the highest detail by stabilizing each picture and minimizing visible scan lines and motion artifacts. Automatic source identification assigns the optimum deinterlacing algorithm based upon the input for computer or video camera source material, with 3:2 (NTSC) and 2:2 (PAL) pulldown detection and compensation.

UPX-2 Video Processing Block Diagram

The UPX-2 supports non-interlaced RGB input resolutions up to 1600 x 1200. Output resolution for both outputs is set to that of the DualTouch Technology touchpanel, 1280 x 1024 for the DTT-17, 1024 x 768 for the DTT-15V2, and up to 1600 x 1200 with third-party touchpanel displays.

The UPX-2 allows for the creation of graphics, images, dynamic text, and animations. The UPX-2 features PNG image support, which enables translucent objects to be placed over still images (such as background). The dynamic graphics feature enables the display of images (pictures, CD cover art, etc.) that are hosted externally on a flash memory card or media server. The position and appearance of each video window can be fully customized within the total graphical interface.

NOTE: PNG image support and dynamic graphics requires the 1GB compact flash operating system. The UPX-2-1GB and UPX-2-MSO include 1GB compact flash cards. Other UPX-2 models with 512MB compact flash can be upgraded to the 1GB compact flash with either Crestron part number UPX-OS1GB or part number UPXOS1GB-MSO which are available from Crestron. For ordering information, contact Crestron.

VIDEO INPUT 1/HDTV and VIDEO INPUT 2 (BNC Female)

Six 75Ω BNC connectors allow composite, component or S-video input. You may have six composite video inputs, two S-video inputs, two component video inputs, or some combination of the three types. Each S-video input requires two BNC connectors. For example, if you are using two S-video inputs, then there are two composite video inputs remaining. For additional connector information, refer to “Hardware Hookup” on page 52.

NOTE: Only two video sources may be displayed simultaneously.

S-video inputs must use the same pair of B (Y) and C (C) BNC connectors.

Each component video connection requires a set of three BNC connectors, Y, P and P

, and must use the same group of A, B, and C connectors. HDTV Component

input video can be 480p, 576p, 720p, and 1080i.

Composite video is a type of video signal in which all information – the red, green, and blue (horizontal and vertical sync) signals are carried over one coaxial cable.

HDTV utilizes all three BNC connectors associated with VIDEO INPUT A, so if you wish to display one HDTV and another video source simultaneously, the other video source must be connected to VIDEO INPUT B. This will limit the possible video sources on VIDEO INPUT B to either three composite sources, or one S-video and one composite source, or one component source.

S-video contains two separate signals, luminance and chrominance (also known as Y and C signals respectively). The luminance signal contains brightness, intensity, and signal timing information. This signal contains all picture information except for color. The chrominance signal contains only the color information. You can see the complete black and white image, without the chrominance, by only feeding the luminance signal into a monitor.

Component video is a method of transferring video information using multiple, individual signals: luminance (Y), luminance minus blue (PB-Y), and luminance minus red (PR-Y). Video information is transmitted in individual parts to prevent errors due to combining and then separating the various parts of the color video

signal. The UPX-2 supports video standard 480i (480 lines, interlaced). Component video uses three 75 Ω coaxial video cables with BNC connectors to transfer the three signal components.

Three Universal Serial Bus (USB) “A” connectors on the rear of the UPX-2 provide a communications link to the DualTouch Technology touchpanels (DTT) and thirdparty peripherals. USB is a connectivity specification developed by the USB Implementers Forum that provides a single, simple, standardized way to connect up to 127 devices to a computer. USB shielded cables contain two wires for power (+5 volts (red) and ground (brown)) and a twisted pair of wires (yellow and blue) that carry data. The USB standard supports data transfer rates of 12 Mbps (megabits per second). USB devices can be connected or disconnected without restarting the computer. USB connectors are used for touchpanels, storage devices (PQI USB 1.1 Compact Flash Reader and Sandisk ImageMate USB 2.0 Reader/Writer have been tested), USB mice (Gyration Ultra GT Cordless Optical Mouse, Belkin, and Logitech USB mice have been tested) and keyboards.

Contact with thermal insulating materials should be avoided on all sides of the unit.

NOTE: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

NOTE: Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

NOTE: Reliable earthing (grounding) of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit. (e.g., use of power strips).

NOTE: If rack mounting is not required, rubber feet are provided for tabletop mounting or stacking. Apply the feet near the corner edges on the underside of the unit.

Two rack “ears” are provided with the UPX-2 so that the unit can be rack mounted. These ears must be installed prior to mounting. Complete the following procedure to attach ears to the unit. A #2 Phillips screwdriver is required.

1. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the three screws closest to the front panel from one side of the unit.

2. Position a rack ear so that its mounting holes align with the holes vacated by the screws in step 1.

Operations Guide – DOC. 6276B Universal Presentation Processor: UPX-2 ¥ 19

Crestron UPX-2 Universal Presentation Processor

3. Attach the ear to the unit with three screws from step 1, as shown in the following illustration.

Ear Attachment for Rack Mounting

4. Repeat procedure (steps 1 through 3) to attach other ear to opposite side.

Network Wiring

While the UPX-2 does not require network power to operate, the following guidelines should still be observed.

CAUTION: In order to ensure optimum performance over the full range of your installation topology, Crestron Certified Wire, and only Crestron Certified Wire, may be used. Failure to do so may incur additional charges if support is required to identify performance deficiencies as a result of using improper wire.

CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. Failure to do so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron warranty.

CAUTION: Provide sufficient power to the system. Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the system (http://www.crestron.com/calculators).

When calculating the length of wire for a particular Cresnet run, the wire gauge and the Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be connected must be taken into consideration. Use Crestron Certified Wire only. If Cresnet units are to be daisychained on the run, the Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be daisychained must be added together to determine the Cresnet power usage of the entire chain. If the unit is a home-run from a Crestron system power supply network port, the Cresnet power usage of that unit is the Cresnet power usage of the entire run. The wire gauge and the Cresnet power usage of the run should be used in the following equation to calculate the cable length value on the equation’s left side.

Cable Length Equation

L = Length of run (or chain) in feet R = 6 Ohms (Crestron Certified Wire: 18 AWG (0.75 MM ))

or 1.6 Ohms (Cresnet HP: 12 AWG (4 MM ))

P = Cresnet power usage of entire run (or chain)

L <

40,000

Where:

R x P

20 ¥ Universal Presentation Processor: UPX-2 Operations Guide – DOC. 6276B

Universal Presentation Processor Crestron UPX-2

Make sure the cable length value is less than the value calculated on the right side of the equation. For example, a Cresnet run using 18 AWG Crestron Certified Wire and drawing 20 watts should not have a length of run more than 333 feet. If Cresnet HP is used for the same run, its length could extend to 1250 feet.

NOTE: All Crestron certified Cresnet wiring must consist of two twisted pairs. One twisted pair is the +24V conductor and the GND conductor, and the other twisted pair is the Y conductor and the Z conductor.

NOTE: When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on the network connector, and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder only to the ends of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle. Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.

NOTE: For larger networks (i.e., greater than 28 network devices), it may become necessary to add a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality throughout the network. Also, for networks with lengthy cable runs, it may be necessary to add a Hub/Repeater after only 20 devices.

Crestron Toolbox

NOTE: The minimum version of Crestron Toolbox required to operate with the UPX-2 is version 1.2.10 or later.

Crestron Toolbox (a replacement for Crestron Viewport) is a broad-based software package that accomplishes multiple system tasks, primarily using an RS-232 or TCP/IP connection between a PC and one or more Crestron control systems.

You can use Crestron Toolbox to:

• Observe system processes.

• Upload operating systems and firmware.

• Upload programs and touchpanel projects.

• Set or change device Network IDs.

• Change serial numbers.

• Run scripts to automate tasks.

• Perform system diagnostics, and much more.

Crestron Toolbox allows you to perform these functions using simple graphical views and click and drag methods.

Identity Code

All equipment and user interfaces within the network require a unique identity code (Net ID). These codes are two-digit hexadecimal numbers ranging from 03 to FE. Refer to “Cresnet” on page 29 for instructions on setting the unit's Net ID. The Net ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the SIMPL Windows program. Refer to “Setting the Net ID in Device Settings” in the latest version of the UPX-2 Reference Guide (Doc. 6286) for details of the SIMPL Windows procedure.

Operations Guide – DOC. 6276B Universal Presentation Processor: UPX-2 ¥ 21

Crestron UPX-2 Universal Presentation Processor

The Net ID of the UPX-2 has been factory set to 03. The Net IDs of multiple UPX-2s in the same system must be unique. Net IDs are changed from a personal computer (PC) via Crestron Toolbox.

NOTE: For detailed information on establishing communication between the PC, control system, and the UPX-2, refer to “Establishing Communications Between the PC and the UPX-2” on page 59. If communication cannot be established, refer to the “Troubleshooting Communications” section in the latest version of the 2-Series Control System Reference Guide (Doc. 6256), which is available from the Crestron website.

Crestron Toolbox provides several methods to easily set or change device Net IDs for any device on the network. With the “Network Device Tree” window, one can set the Net ID without setting duplicate IDs or set any known Net ID that may require changing. The “Network Device Tree” window will not permit you to choose an ID already in use by another device that is not equipped with TSID. If you are going to assign an ID that is already in use by a device that is equipped with TSID, a warning message will appear.

Duplicate Net ID Warning Message

Any Net ID changed in Crestron Toolbox does not change the Net ID as assigned in SIMPL Windows. For information on setting the Net ID in SIMPL Windows, refer to the latest version of the UPX-2 Reference Guide (Doc. 6286).

1. Ensure that all network devices are connected to the control system.

Calibrate Auto, Default and Manual – Auto calibrate is the preferred setup method

for RGB. Auto calibrate automatically adjusts the input setting every time the source is selected. It looks at the sync for “front and back porch”, and sets them for the selected input. Auto calibrate is a mode that is set in the “Video Setup” window for each RGB input. You must select the source and have it displayed before selecting Auto from the Calibrate area. You can return to this setup screen when you want to perform auto calibrate in the future.

If this selection does not look correct, select default calibrate, which sets the input setting to the factory defaults.

Manual calibrate permits you to manually adjust the controls.

NOTE: If you are unable to obtain a stable RGB window using Auto or Default, perform the manual lock sync adjustment (coarse and fine) before continuing with the color, size, and position adjustments.

When an RGB source is connected, the UPX-2 automatically detects the horizontal resolution, vertical resolution, and sync frequency of the source. The UPX-2 will search through all of the presets that are defined for the detected settings. If a matching preset is found, the preset will be applied to the detected source. The preset number will be reported to the control system and displayed on the screen. If two or more presets were found with matching settings, the last-recalled preset will be used and the preset will be reported to the control system.

If a matching preset is not found, the UPX-2 will automatically calibrate for the RGB source. These settings will be stored as the last-recalled settings.

If presets have not been stored for a specific input, the last-recalled settings will be applied to all sources for the input. The preset number “0” will be reported to the control system and displayed on the screen.

“Video Setup” Window - Video 1A Tab

Video is setup using the Color and Overscan controls. The following test patterns are recommended for adjustment.

Overscan – Overscan is the active image area in a video picture that is outside the edges of the display device (does not apply to RGB). Overscan first came about because of noise and other artifacts at the beginning and end of the scan lines. To reliably eliminate the noise and fill the screen with a picture, the outside edge of the active picture area was pushed out past the edge of the display area. The average or targeted over-scan loss is about 5 to 10% of the image on each edge. Digital images have nearly eliminated the noise and other artifacts at the edge of the picture, so more of the video image can be safely shown. The Normal setting is usually the correct choice for most video inputs.

Presets – Up to 30 presets may be stored for future retrieval. Press Store to store the settings in the preset location displayed. Press Load to load the settings of the preset location displayed.

When a video source is connected, the UPX-2 automatically detects the horizontal resolution, vertical resolution, frame rate (frames per second), and whether the signal is interlaced or deinterlaced.

ships it off to a network. The IP address is a unique number consisting of four parts separated by dots, e.g., 165.113.245.2.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the IP address of the device can even change while it is still connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses.

Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because the software keeps track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task. New computers can be added to a network without manually assigning each one a unique IP address.

IP Table

Edit, remove, or enter a control system’s IP address in the IP table to enable communication between the UPX-2 and a control system. The UPX-2 can communicate with multiple control systems.

Refer to the latest version of the Crestron 2-Series Control Systems Reference Guide (Doc. 6256) for more information on IP tables.

“IP Table Setup” Window

The IP ID is the ID number that is used to identify the UPX-2 in a control system’s IP table. The IP ID should match the IP ID set in the control system’s SIMPL Windows program. The IP Address field lists the IP address of the control system that will address the corresponding IP ID.

Identity

Press Identity to open the “Network ID” window. The “Network ID” window displays the hostname and workgroup that identify the UPX-2 on the network. The hostname may be used when transferring a program over Ethernet using Crestron Toolbox. This window permits editing of the hostname and workgroup.

Uploading and Upgrading

NOTE: Crestron recommends using the latest programming software and that each device contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most recently released features. Please check the Crestron website (http://www.crestron.com/updates) for the latest versions of software and firmware. New users are required to register to obtain access to this site.

NOTE: UPX-2s with the 512MB compact flash operating system cannot be upgraded to the 1GB compact flash operating system with the procedures described in this section. For instructions or upgrading a compact flash operating system, refer to the latest version of the UPX-2 1GB Memory & Operating System Upgrade Installation Guide (Doc. 6443).

Assuming a PC is properly connected to the entire system, Crestron programming software allows the programmer to upload programs, projects and firmware to the system and touchpanels after their development. However, there are times when the files for the program and projects are compiled and not uploaded. Instead, compiled files may be distributed from programmers to installers, from Crestron to dealers, etc. Even firmware upgrades are available from the Crestron website as new features are developed after product releases. In those instances, one has the option to upload via the programming software or to upload and upgrade via Crestron Toolbox.

The following sections define how one would upload a Vision Tools (VT Pro-e) project or upgrade the firmware of the UPX-2. However, before attempting to upload or upgrade, it is necessary to establish communications between the PC and the UPX-2.

Pro-e

Establishing Communications Between the PC and the UPX-2

When communicating with a UPX-2 from a PC, one of two communication methods can be used:

MediaMarker

The Crestron MediaMarker Notebook software is used to create, organize and save presentations. Crestron Notebook software works with the UPX-2 Universal Presentation Processor and DTT DualTouch Technology touchpanels. A presenter can devise an entire lecture or demonstration and save it to the notebook. At the presenter’s discretion, the audience may view the presentation complete with annotation in real-time.

You can use the Crestron MediaMarker Notebook software with the UPX-2 and DTT products or on your own personal computer.

In addition to containing the tools required for object creation, Crestron Notebook software can import graphics and text from many other applications. Importable objects include: HTML, JPG, BMP, PNG, and TIF.

MediaMarker notebook projects can be saved and retrieved to disk or to notebook (Export and Import functions in the File menu).

File | Export Project – Archives the project into one file.

File | Import Project – Opens and extracts all files from a previously exported

project into an active folder.

NOTE: When saving a project, the background images are stored as external graphic files. The graphic file type (HTML, JPG, BMP, PNG, and TIF) can be set within Edit | Preferences | Application Settings.

Security Infrastructure

Since the UPX-2 does not use a traditional hard drive, but rather an image that gets restored every time the UPX-2 is rebooted, any virus infection is cleared immediately after a reboot. However, using the currently available tools and techniques, Crestron has provided an infrastructure that protects against possible virus infections.

1. Executables/Scripts brought in on external media The implementation of the UPX-2 series has restrictions on starting any application or script. The only applications that can be started are those allowed by Crestron, and these can only be started from the Crestron project.

2. Downloaded Program/Script Depending on the settings established in the “Embedded Apps” section of the SETUP MENU, the UPX-2 can have download permissions enabled or disabled. The only files the browser can open regardless of the security settings are the files it has plug-ins for, such as PDF, etc.

3. Browser Hijack and Browser vulnerability Crestron has patched all currently known hijacks and vulnerabilities. Future updates can be downloaded from the Crestron website.

4. E-mail Viruses There is no e-mail client installed on the UPX-2. Email-based viruses cannot be executed.

5. Viruses that attack web/FTP servers The UPX-2 does not run a web or FTP server. Therefore, it is not listening to port 21 or 80. The only ports the system listens to are the ports registered to Crestron.

6. Virus from other machines on the network Since drives on the UPX-2 can be shared on the network, it is possible that a virus can write itself to files/folders on these shares. Our recommendation therefore is to share as "Read-Only," so that viruses cannot attach themselves to files on the UPX-2.

7. ActiveX and Java Depending on the settings established in the “Embedded Apps” section of the SETUP MENU, the UPX-2 can have ActiveX and Java permissions enabled or disabled. For more information, refer to “Embedded Apps” on page 43.

Appendix: Video Definitions

The following definitions may be helpful when setting up the UPX-2.

RGB and Video

RGB

The eye is capable of seeing only three colors, red (R), green (G), and blue (B). The brain extracts full spectrum information from varying intensities and combinations of these three colors. For example, when you see red and blue together, the brain interprets a third color. The proportion of red to blue determines if this color is shifted towards the red (violet) or the blue (purple).

Because of this physiological limit of vision, a video system need only reproduce red, green, and blue information.

Input synchronization for the UPX-2 can be horizontal and vertical (H&V), composite sync, or sync on G. Output sync of the UPX-2 is always H&V.

Composite (480i) and S-Video

Compression of all of the video information (luminance and chrominance) into one signal was devised in the early days of color television to permit transmission over the airwaves. This standard was defined by the National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) and is known as composite video. However, these compressed composite signals, which require RGB separation to drive a video display, cannot be fully restored to their original quality.

An S-video cable carries two separate signals, one for luminance (Y) and one for chrominance or color (C). The Y signal is the same as in the native component video format. And the C is simply a combination of the B-Y and R-Y color difference signals. (S-video is also referred to as Y/C.) By keeping luminance and chrominance information separate, most of the signal loss inherent in the conversion of composite to RGB video is avoided.

Y, PB, PR Component Video

The original RGB signal is divided into three component parts:

• The luminance signal contains the black & white (brightness) information in the original RGB signal. It is referred to as the "Y" component.

• The color difference signal B-Y contains the blue information, minus the luminance information. This signal is also called C signal designation), and P component video).

• The color difference signal R-Y contains the red information minus the luminance information. This signal is also called CR (the digital color space

Operations Guide – DOC. 6276B Universal Presentation Processor: UPX-2 ¥ 77

(the analog color space designation in

(the digital color space

Crestron UPX-2 Universal Presentation Processor

signal designation), and PR (the analog color space designation in component video).

The color difference channels (B-Y and R-Y) are algebraically recombined with the luminance channel to produce a full color picture, recreating the green information through this mathematical process. The original green data can consume more than half the bandwidth of a video signal.

NOTE: Color space is a method used to specify, create and visualize color. Color is defined by three attributes: brightness, hue and intensity. These three dimensions of color exist in a mathematical three-dimensional space, making it possible to specify precise colors.

Video Standards

HDTV (High Definition Television)

High-definition television is a high-resolution digital television broadcast and playback system composed of roughly a million or more pixels (picture elements), 16:9 aspect-ratio screens, and AC3 (Dolby Digital six-channel digital audio standard). A subset of digital television, HDTV formats include 1080i and 720p resolution.

1080i

A designated format of high-definition television in the Advanced Television Systems Committee Digital TV standard, with 1,080 vertical pixels by 1,920 horizontal pixels. The i stands for interlaced, painting odd-numbered scan lines in succession, then going back and filling in the remaining even-numbered lines. A complete picture is created 30 times per second. 1080i is a high-resolution digital television broadcast and playback system composed of roughly a million or more pixels (picture elements), 16:9 aspect-ratio screens, and AC3 (the Dolby Digital sixchannel digital audio standard). The signal is supplied in Component format; Y (luminance) and separate chrominance signals P Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) as 274m, 59.94 Hz (60 Hz) vertical and 33.716 kHz horizontal (33.75 kHz), 0.600 volts peak-to-peak.

, and Pr. 1080i is designated by the

720p

A format designated as high-definition television in the Advanced Television Systems Committee Digital TV standard. This technology comprises 720 vertical pixels and 1,280 horizontal pixels. The p stands for progressive, also called sequential scanning, by which all odd and even scanning lines are "painted" by an electron beam every 1/60 of a second. ). To use a 720p resolution with the UPX-2 it must be first converted to RGB. Crestron recommends a converter made by Key Digital Systems, model number KD-CTCAL (www.keydigital.com) for this application.

720p is designated by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) as 296m, 59.94 Hz (60 Hz) vertical and 33.716 kHz horizontal (33.75 kHz), 0.600 volts peak-to-peak.
