of the incoming video signal and sets the total pixels, phase, active pixels, and active
lines, as well as the horizontal and vertical starting points.
•Auto Input memory — When activated, the unit automatically saves input sampling
and picture settings based on the incoming signal. When the same signal is detected
again, these image settings are automatically recalled from memory.
•Auto-switching between inputs — Auto-switching allows for simple, unmanaged
installation in locations such as in a lectern or under a conference table. When
multiple inputs are active, the switching priority is configurable.
•HDMI, RGB, HDTV, and video scaling to HDMI — Digital and analog video sources
can all be scaled to high resolution HDMI output.
•Clean switching — Clean cut through black and fade through black transition
effects are available to enhance presentations by eliminating distractions during input
switching.
•Audio — The DSC 301 HD has the following connectors: three 3.5 mm stereo mini
jacks for analog audio input, and an embedded HDMI digital audio input.
•HDMI audio embedding — Analog input audio signals can be embedded onto the
HDMI output signal.
•Audio input gain and attenuation — Gain or attenuation can be adjusted for each
analog audio input to eliminate noticeable differences when switching between
sources.
•Audio input assignment — Each video input can be assigned to any analog audio
input. This enables all three video inputs to share a single analog audio input. The
HDMI input can be set to pass incoming digital audio, embed the analog audio, or to
automatically embed the analog audio when no digital audio is detected.
Outputs
•Video and Audio — The DSC 301 HD has one HDMI output.
•Selectable output — Available output rates include computer-video 640x480 up to
1920x1200, HDTV rates up to 1080p/60, and 2048x1080.
