Features
Superior video processing
Support for input and output resolutions up to UXGA, including all HD
resolutions up to 2048x1080p
10-bit processing, with 1:1 pixel sampling
Motion adaptive de-interlacing (SD & HD)
3:2 and 2:2 pull down detection

Multi-screen Flexibility
Using the optional
ScreenPRO-II Controller
, users can simultaneously (or individually) control up to four
ScreenPRO-II switchers from a compact and versatile control surface. With easy setup and intuitive
operations, the ScreenPRO-II Controller enhances PIP and KEY placement, source switching, and overall layer
control.
The ScreenPRO-II Controller also includes many features not available on the individual ScreenPRO-II units,
including 36 presets, a 3-axis Joystick for easy PIP placement, key “cut and fill” mode, and a T-Bar for
smooth manual transitions. In addition, a tally option is available for triggering up to eight tallies on cameras
(or other devices), and the option also includes a keyboard input for labeling frame grabs.
As the perfect companion to the ScreenPRO-II Controller,
BlendPRO-II
adds blending capability for up to four
ScreenPRO-II seamless switchers. This system enables you to create widescreen blends across two, three, or
four projectors — complete with data doubling (for the overlapped regions) as well as edge-feathering. The
amount of data overlap and edge-feathering are user-programmable via the ScreenPRO-II Controller.
Using the
Encore Presentation System
, one or more standalone ScreenPRO-II units can be controlled as
unique “destinations” within Encore’s dynamic event control environment. Two different Encore controllers
are available:
•The compact model SC supports 24 inputs, up to 6 destinations, and stores up to 64 presets.
•The flagship model LC supports 64 inputs, up to 32 destinations, and stores up to 900 presets.
Both Encore Controller models support most ScreenPRO-II functions, and include a 3-axis Joystick and a T-Bar
for manual transitions.
