UltraVista Pro Manual
2
■
Four Windows per Screen: UltraVista Pro supports a maximum of four windows in a single screen,
allowing users to view more video signals with a smaller number of screens. The layout of the windows can
be configured separately.
■
Picture in Picture: A window can be overlaid upon another window, forming a “picture in picture”. The
overlaid window is not restricted to the boundaries of the window beneath, allowing flexibility in display
layout.
■
Input Signal Preview: All input signals can be previewed in the UI of software before being displayed on
the screens. This enables the operator to detect the input status and display signals correctly.
■
Crosspoint Switch: UltraVista Pro employs crosspoint switch technology which offers high speed switching
and transmission. Compared to the “bus” switching architecture, where all the signals need to share the
bandwidth of the bus for transmission, crosspoint switching assigns each signal a unique channel to avoid
collision, delay, and instability.
■
Four Windows per Screen: The main modules, including input cards, output cards, switch control card,
cooling fan, and power supply, are all designed to plug directly into the main-board, which makes it very
flexible and convenient to configure the product for each application. It is unnecessary to disassemble the
device when replacing modules. Input and output cards also support ‘hot-plugging’ which means that users
can plug and unplug input or output cards when the UltraVista Pro is operating. No restarting or refreshing
is required, and other signals will not be affected.
■
FPGA architecture: UltraVista Pro employs a hardware FPGA-based architecture to provide excellent
image processing performance. There is no embedded operating system to cause crashes, collisions, and
blue screens. The result is a highly stable product which provides uninterrupted around the clock operation.
■
Resolution Real-Time Total Adaptation (RRTA): UltraVista Pro employs Resolution Real-time Total
Adaptation technology to support customized resolutions for different groups of screens. In other words,
the resolution of each group of screens can be configured separately in the software, which offers flexibility
and convenience.
■
Graphic Cropping and Signal Upscaling: The all input video signals can be cropped and any section of a
video image can be zoomed in or out after cropping. Upscaling ensures the zoomed sections will be
displayed without loss of signal quality.
■
Character Superimposition: UltraVista Pro supports superimposition of characters in video signals for easy
identification of signal sources. Character font, size, position, and color can be customized for each source.
■
Ultra-high Resolution background Image: UltraVista Pro’s built-in storage allows multiple ultra-high
resolution background images to be uploaded, for display behind video screens.
■
Scenes Saving, Loading, and Displaying in Loop: Any configured arrangement of video signals displayed
can be saved as “scenes”. UltraVista Pro supports up to 32 scenes to be saved locally. The saved scenes
can also be set to be loaded and displayed in loops.
■
HDCP-Compliant: UltraVista Pro’s HDMI and DVI input cards support HDCP, which allows the display of
HDCP encrypted content.
■
Controlling and Management: UltraVista Pro software allows users to manage and control the processor
from an external computer. The software is compatible with Windows2000/XP/Vista/7/8. The computer can
be connected to UltraVista Pro by CATx cable (TCP/IP) or RS232 cable. The software can also control up
to 4 traditional matrix switches when they are cascaded (RS232) to the processor. The UltraVista Pro can
also be configured and controlled through serial commands issued by an external controller.
■
Redundant Power Supply: UltraVista Pro can be provided with dual power supplies on request. The
redundant supplies provide load balancing, with either supply capable of powering the device in the event a
supply fails during operation.
