Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview
The HDP2 is a miniature HD/SD-SDI to DVI-D converter for digital display devices
(graphics and video), such as LED, LCD, DLP and Plasma monitors (and projectors). Using
a very high quality scaling engine, the HDP2 will automatically size 4:3 or 16:9 inputs to
many DVI-D monitors. For appropriate monitor configurations, scaling is automatically 1
to 1—for example, displaying 1920x1080 video on a WUXGA (1920x1200) monitor.
Where appropriate, the HDP2 can automatically adapt the input frame rate for monitor
compatibility. In addition, the HDP2 provides 8 channel embedded audio over HDMI, 2
channel analog audio monitoring, and a looping output of the SDI input.
The HDP2 is designed for general monitoring, perfect for use in applications such as:
General post-production reference monitoring, Client monitoring, Presentation,
Projection, Corporate displays, Kiosk applications...and much more!
Deep color is supported in RGB and YCbCr. USB connectivity allows for easy PC/Mac
setup and field upgrades.
