VGA / HDTV Video Processor

1. Introduction

1.1 General

SC-VGA-2 is a high-performance
universal VGA / HDTV to VGA /
HDTV Scan Rate converter. It also
offers the capability to "Mirror" the
VGA input signal on the X-axis.

The Video Processor combines the
functions of a video scaler, scan­converter, and format transformer and
is packed into a compact and durable
metal housing with easy-to-use touch buttons. The SC-VGA-2 is
controlled via push button and OSD menu.

The controls include input/output setup picture adjustment, H/V phase
adjustment, System information and many other advance options.

The SC-VGA-2 allows you to specify a resolution and refresh rate for
its output. Then it will output a steady (uninterrupted) VGA signal to
your display device at your specified rate regardless of the input. This
effectively allows any VGA switch, such as HRT's VS-2 or VS-4, to
become a seamless switch. The output timing is constant regardless of
what is happening at the input. So when you switch from one input to
another, the display device does not see any interruption in the signal
coming to it.
