System Description

Incorporating Folsom's Athena proprietary high performance image processing technology, New video scaler. This unit features SDI, DVI, Composite and RGBHV inputs and is capable of handling both standard and high definition formats. Also accommodates 4x3 format as well as 16x9. This unit is used to change/scale one video resolution to another video resolution. While this unit can be used to switch between inputs it is not ideal for video. The purpose of this unit is to scale a video to appropriate resolution so that it can be sent to a true switcher. (Think of it as a DI box for video. It changes to signal to a format which the ‘audio board’, in this case the video switcher, can accommodate.)

Features
Thanks to Barco's high performance image processing technology, the ImagePRO-3G is a high-performance video scaler, scan converter, switcher and transcoder all rolled into one. ImagePRO is the ideal solution for converting RGB, HDTV, component, s-video, composite (NTSC, PAL and SECAM) and HD/SDI video into a user-selectable video format. The ImagePRO includes four video outputs and three universal inputs, as well as a dedicated genlock BNC connector.
