' TAG McLaren to unveil new video scaler at Stuff Live
' Following is the press release we’ve just been sent about a brand new Video Scaler from high-end AV guru, TAG McLaren...
'
' ”TAG McLaren confirms that it is as serious about video quality as it is about audio quality by showing its new video scaler, the VP2048R, for the first time at Stuff Live 2002, the Gadgets Gear and Technology Show at Earl’s Court, London on the 3rd-6th October.
'
' VP2048R is a standalone video processor, with a powerful 16-bit microcontroller controlling its even more powerful image processors. At its heart are the VSM2048 video scaler and (optionally) the PSM192 progressive scan module. It is fully IR remote-controlled, including an electrical IR input, and has both TAGtronic Bus and RS232 communications links for easy system integration. The VP2048R has a slimline case with the same dimensions and finishes as AV32R.
'
' VP2048R has a comprehensive set of inputs, including DVI 1.0 and optional SDI digital video inputs, separate Composite, S-Video and Component YPbPr or RGsB or RGBS or RGBHV analog video inputs, a further Composite/S-Video/RGB/component analog input via SCART and a dedicated analog HDTV input. It has a DVI 1.0 digital video output and YPbPr or RGsB or RGBHV analog video outputs provided on both BNC connectors and an HD15 connector (as found on PCs) for easy connection to displays or projectors that have PC inputs.
'
' A VP2048R that does not have a PSM192 fitted scales NTSC progressive 480p, PAL progressive 576p, HDTV progressive 720p and HDTV interlaced 1080i video inputs to output resolutions that suit your display device. An external PSM192 (for example, in a DVD32) could be the source of the progressive input to VP2048R, but a PSM192 module can be fitted inside VP2048R, allowing direct connection of PAL, NTSC and SECAM interlaced video signals which are then de-interlaced by a Silicon Image SiI504 image processor prior to their passing to the VP2048R module for scaling.
'
' The VP2048R scaling algorithms use two-dimensional filtering to produce high resolution images free of jagged edges, staircasing and the other artefacts of less sophisticated approaches. The scaled output image is frame locked to the input, guaranteeing that motion remains smooth and natural, free of frame repeats, dropped frames or frame tearing.
'
' The output can have up to 2048 lines, for images free of visible line structure on even very large screens and with the best of today’s high resolution CRT projectors.
'
' The VP2048R can generate an output for any screen aspect ratio, too. It provides comprehensive aspect ratio conversion capabilities, making the best use of the available screen area. Multi-region non-linear scaling is available to allow the outer parts of images to be stretched or compressed whilst maintaining correct aspect ratio across the central part of the image, allowing the screen to be filled even with input images that do not match the screen aspect ratio.
'
' When driving fixed panel displays such as plasma televisions and LCD or DLP projectors the VP2048R can scale the input image to an output resolution that exactly matches the resolution of the display’s panel, handling any required pixel aspect ratio. This allows such panels to be driven directly at their native resolution, ideally via the digital DVI 1.0 output. Direct digital connection allows any additional analog-to-digital conversion or scaling stages in the displays to be completely bypassed for the best possible image quality.
'
' The analog output is provided on the 5 BNC output connectors. Ten bit video DACs operating at up to 240MHz generate high resolution analog signals, with optimal post-DAC analog filtering for best signal-to-noise ratio. Component YPbPr, RGsB and RGBHV output formats are supported, with selectable sync polarity. The YPbPr signals can be generated with bi-level or the tri-level sync pulses required by many HDTV displays.
'
' The VP2048R offers a full complement of picture adjustments (black level, white level, colour, tint, sharpness) with separate adjustment memories for each of its video inputs. The settings are automatically recalled and applied when an input is selected. Picture size and position adjustments are also provided. VP2048R also has a picture-in-picture capability, allowing a second image to be displayed in a corner of the screen, with the size and position of that image chosen by the user.
'
' The video scaler module and progressive scan modules used within the VP2048R can also be fitted into the new configurable modular recycled av processor the TAG McLaren AV192R (more on this in the next couple of days).
