HDP3 Mini-Converter v1.0r1 6
www.aja.com
Automatic 720p or 1080p Support
Monitors that report 1280x720 or 1920x1080 in their “Preferred Timing Mode”
section of EDID readback will receive a 1280x720 or 1920x1080p signal,
respectively, from the HDP3.
Manual 720p or 1080p Support
The HDP3 can be configured manually for 720p or 1080p. This is discussed under
“USB Control and Setup” later in this manual.
NOTE: For best results when using video display devices, it is recommended that a
monitor capable of displaying the “Full 1080p” image be used.
VESA and CEA Timing
By default, the HDP3 will automatically output standardized VESA rate graphics
where appropriate when a computer resolution is detected, and standardized
CEA rate video when a video device, such as an HDTV is detected. Not all VESA
rates are synchronous to SMPTE standard video input rates. However, the HDP3
can be configured manually by selecting an output frame rate that matches the
incoming frame rate. By doing so, enhanced timing signals will be generated that
will be locked to the incoming video.
NOTE: Some monitors may not be able to handle some of these enhanced timing
modes. For best results, refer to the list of recommended monitors that have been
tested to lock at one or more of the user-selectable frame rates.
Motion Adaptive De-interlacing
Video displayed on DVI progressive display devices requires de-interlacing
technology to properly display the video from its native interlace format. HDP3
uses advanced motion adaptive de-interlacing to predict motion in the video
stream and output a quality picture using spatial and temporal comparisons on
individual pixels.
10-Bit and Deep Color Support
HDP3 supports the HDMI v1.3a specification for Deep Color bit depths. In
operation, HDP3 can support Deep Color bit depths up to 30 bits/pixel (1.073
billion colors).
Video Scaling
The HDP3 will scale the input video to the best fit for a given monitor and video
input. In cases where the input video and the monitor are already the same or
similar, the HDP3 automatically turns off scaling. For example, a 1920 x1080 video
and a 1920 x1200 monitor will not be scaled.
