Digital Magic
Model # KD-DH12
Key Digital “Digital Magic” (Model KD-DH12) is a state-of-the-art ATSC Set Top Box that scales to your display’s native resolution and distributes
the Video and Audio to up to 12 displays.
Why you need Digital Magic, Model # KD-DH12
Key Digital engineered Digital Magic (Model # KD-DH12) as a simple, convenient, yet high-quality solution for applications where you have RF
Inputs that need to be decoded, scaled, and distributed to an array of displays. Digital Magic offers just what the retail outlets, hotels, casinos,
and even high-end custom home theater installers are looking for -– a unique “one-stop shopping” solution for applications where you need to
decode off-the-air or Cable (RF) ATSC & NTSC, or 480i baseband (YPbPr & CVBS Composite Video) input signals, scale them to your display’s native
resolution, and then distribute them to up to 12 displays.
Since it is a Set Top Box that decodes ATSC and NTSC, you can route just ONE RF off-the-air or Cable feed run throughout your facility, and input it
directly to
your display. For example, Digital Magic can down-convert your 1080i input video to 480i, or up-convert your 480i inputs to 480p, 1080i, or 720p.
The high-quality scaler, equipped with Key Digital’ advanced, motion-assisted de-interlacing algorithm called “Clear Matrix”, lets you up-, down-,
and cross-convert the input to your display’s native resolution. Digital Magic supports output formats of 1080 interlaced, 720 progressive, and
480 interlaced and progressive; 60 Hz output refresh rates; and aspect ratios in and out of 16:9 and 4:3.

requirements, with analog (Left & Right stereo pairs) and digital PCM audio supported at the input, and distributed to the discrete outputs. You
