•
EDID Minder automatically manages EDID communication between
connected devices
— EDID Minder ensures that the source powers up properly and
reliably outputs content for display.
•
Supports custom EDID and output resolutions
— Three user-defined scaling
output resolutions can be supported by uploading custom EDID files, or capturing
EDID from a display or other destination device.
•
Aspect ratio control
— The aspect ratio of the video output can be controlled by
selecting a fill mode, which provides a full screen output, or a follow mode, which
preserves the original aspect ratio of the input signal.
•
HDCP authentication and signal presence confirmation
— Provides real-time
verification of HDCP status for the digital video input and output. This allows for quick
signal and HDCP verification through front panel LEDs, RS-232, USB, or Ethernet,
providing feedback to a system operator or help desk support staff.
•
HDCP Visual Confirmation
— A full-screen green signal or a user-supplied image
file is sent when HDCP-encrypted content is transmitted to a non-HDCP compliant
display, providing immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be
viewed on the display.
•
HDMI to DVI Interface Format Correction
— Automatically enables or disables
embedded audio and InfoFrames, and sets the correct color space for proper
connection to HDMI and DVI displays.
•
Accu-RATE Frame Lock (AFL)
— A patented technology exclusive to Extron that
locks the output frame rate to the input to eliminate stuttering caused by frame rate
conversion.
•
Front panel LEDs for video, HDCP, and audio presence plus power
— Provide
visual indication of system status for real-time feedback and monitoring of key
performance parameters.
•
Image freeze control
— A live image can be frozen using RS-232 serial control,
USB, or Ethernet control.
•
Auto-Image setup
— When Auto-Image is activated, the unit automatically
optimizes the image by analyzing and adjusting to the video input signal. This is useful
in setting up a newly connected source, particularly in presentation environments
where different guest presenter laptops with various output resolutions will be
connected.
•
Auto Input Memory
— When auto memory is activated, the unit stores size,
position, and picture settings based on the incoming signal. When the same signal is
detected again, these image settings are recalled from memory.
•
On-screen menus
— OSD menus enable system setup from the front panel
controls. Key parameters such as input and output video formats are grouped on the
initial
Quick
Setup
screen, while additional screens provide full control over other unit
functions and settings.
•
Output Standby Mode
— The unit can be set to automatically mute video and sync
output to the display device when no active input signal is detected. This allows the
projector or flat-panel display to automatically enter into standby mode to save energy
and enhance lamp or panel life.
•
Power Save Mode
— The unit can be placed in a low power standby state to
conserve energy when not in use.
•
Automatic 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown detection
— Film mode processing techniques
help maximize image quality for NTSC, PAL, and 1080i sources that originated from
film.
