Matrox Convert DVI Plus HD-SDI Scan Converter with Genlock and Region-of-Interest Support
The Matrox Convert DVI family of scan converters lets broadcasters easily and economically take the computer-based content that is quickly becoming a key part of the nightly news to air. These products are ideal for creating broadcast video from computer applications such as Skype, YouTube, Google Earth, video games, and web browsers, as well as citizen journalists’ mobile phone videos. They are also the perfect appliances to drive projectors and large displays at live events and in houses of worship.
Quality HD-SDI scan converters with genlock and upscaling typically cost thousands of dollars each and SDI audio embedders are often required. Costs balloon when facilities require multiple units. The Matrox Convert DVI products are very inexpensive by comparison and allow system audio to be embedded in the SDI signal. They provide the high-end features, outstanding quality, and ease-of-use necessary in broadcast and live event operations.
Controls are provided via an intuitive PC-based graphical user interface which can include a live preview pane for scaling and positioning in context. By simply dragging a mouse, rather than fiddling with buttons on the unit itself, you can choose to output the entire screen or a region-of-interest of any size. Premium features such as a flicker reduction filter, customizable presets with user-assignable hotkeys, password protection, SD pixel aspect ratio compensation, and a standalone mode ensure optimal flexibility for many different applications.
In applications where the DVI signal is not coming from a computer, but from a medical or industrial camera for example, the Matrox Convert DVI products can operate independently of a PC to deliver SDI and analog video.
The Matrox Convert DVI products can be used in stand-alone mode with a Mac, once they have been configured by a Windows-based PC.
If you are looking for a scan converter that can be controlled by a Mac, consider Matrox MXO2. In 'Presentation Mode', Matrox MXO acts as a high-quality scan converter that is genlockable, with timing offset controls. It mirrors the contents of your secondary desktop and displays it as high quality SDI and analog video simultaneously.
Mac drivers are now available for the Convert DVI family. The feature set for Mac release 1.0 includes full control over the output resolution, analog output type, genlock settings, and anti-fl icker filter along with the ability to program the unit for stand-alone mode. With Convert DVI Plus you can take full advantage of upscaling and the freeze/unfreeze function.
