HDP3 Mini-Converter v1.0r1 4

Chapter 1 – Introduction
Overview
The HDP3 is a miniature 3G/HD/SD-SDI to DVI-D converter for digital display
devices (graphics and video), such as LED, LCD, DLP and Plasma monitors (and
projectors) with support for 1080p60. Using a very high quality scaling engine,
the HDP3 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 HDP3 can automatically adapt the input frame rate for monitor
compatibility. In addition, the HDP3 provides 8 channel embedded audio over
HDMI, 2 channel analog audio monitoring, and a looping output of the SDI input.
The HDP3 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 more.
Deep color is supported in RGB and YCbCr. USB connectivity allows for easy PC/
Mac setup and field upgrades.
