Two New High Performance Scalers
KD-VP6, KD-VP8
At CES 2007, Key Digital Systems introduced two new high
performance scalers, the KD-VP6 and the KD-VP8, part of Key
Digital’s High Performance, High Definition Spider Series offering
the best in digital video performance.
Both KD-VP6 and KD-VP8 accept Standard Definition (SDTV)
480i and PAL 576i Composite, Component and S-Video, as well
as Extended Definition (EDTV) 480p and 576p component analog
sources and output component video format with optional user-
controlled de-interlacing capability. This ability allows traditional
video sources, such as VCRs, camcorders, game consoles and
video components that only have a Composite or S-Video output,
the potential quality of 480p component video performance.
The KD-VP8 also has the additional benefit of providing digital
outputs through HDMI and HDMI over CAT5 interfaces. The
digital output format is always the same as that presented at the
selected analog input.
Both the KD-VP6 and KD-VP8 have multiple paths for choosing
an input to be sent to the display device. Key Digitals’ Intelligent
Auto Sense (IAS™) will automatically locate and switch an active
video input to the display. Additionally, input selection is also
possible via a front panel pushbutton, a supplied infrared remote
control, wired remote interface or, for automated control systems,
an RS-232 interface.
