The Extron USP 405 Universal Signal Processor is the one box solution for all video signal conversion needs. It is an all-in-one, high performance scaler, scan converter, transconverter, format converter, switcher, and transcoder. The USP 405 accepts a wide range of video signal formats, processes them, and outputs them all in one format directly to a digital display, projector, or editing device. The applications for the USP 405 are virtually infinite and include rental and staging environments, boardrooms, conference rooms, classrooms, auditoriums, and much more.

The USP 405 is especially useful for converting a number of video and computer signals either up or down. It can convert HDTV, component, S-video, composite (NTSC and PAL), RGB, and optional SDI (Serial Digital Interface) video formats into a single video format—all while maintaining maximum image quality. RGB signals that are input into the USP 405 undergo one of two signal conversion processes: they can be scaled to one of 35 output resolutions, or they can be scan converted to component, S-video, composite (NTSC and PAL), and SDI video signal formats. Video signals that are input as component, S-video, composite, and SDI can be transcoded by the USP 405 and output on all video connectors in each format simultaneously. These video signals can also be scaled to one of 35 resolutions and output on 15-pin HD connectors and BNCs.

There are five video inputs on the USP 405, (including optional SDI input), accessible through the rear panel: one female 15-pin HD connector for RGB/computer video (includes a buffered local monitor output); five female BNCs for RGBHV, component video (Y, R-Y, B-Y), S-video, or composite video; one 4-pin mini DIN for S-video (includes a buffered loop-through); one female BNC for composite video (includes a buffered loop-through); and one female BNC for the optional SDI video.

The USP 405 has six video outputs (including optional SDI output), also on the rear panel: one female 15-pin HD connector for RGB/computer video; five female BNCs for RGBHV/HDTV video (Y, R-Y, B-Y); three female BNCs for component video; one 4-pin mini DIN for S-video; one female BNC for composite video; and one female BNC for the optional SDI video.

To maximize the quality of the output image, the USP 405 features several Extron proprietary video processing technologies: Dynamic Motion Interpolation (DMI™), 3:2 (NTSC) and 2:2 (PAL) pulldown detection, and the patented Accu-RATE Frame Lock (AFL™).

The USP 405 is available in four configurations: the standard USP 405 (without SDI), the USP 405 DI (with SDI In), the USP 405 DO (with SDI Out), and the USP 405 DI/O (with SDI In & Out). This universal signal processor comes with an easy-to-read LCD menu and back-lit, tactile buttons to simplify operation and control. It can also be controlled by IR remote with the optional Extron IR 801.

Features

Aspect ratio conversion - Ability to horizontally and vertically size any video input to meet a specific aspect ratio.
Output rates - The USP 405 offers 35 scaled output rates, including these computer-video and plasma rates: 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 832 x 624, 848 x 480, 852 x 480, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 768, 1280 x 1024, 1360 x 765, and 1365 x 1024. HDTV rates of 720p, 1080p, and 1080i are also available.
Input and loop-through connectors - Input one has a buffered local monitor output on a female 15-pin HD connector, and inputs three and four include buffered loop-through connectors on a female BNC and a 4-pin mini DIN connector, respectively.
Dynamic Motion Interpolation (DMI)- DMI technology is an advanced motion detection and compensation method used to deliver the best aspects of still and motion algorithms, resulting in a superior image.
3:2 (NTSC) and 2:2 (PAL) pulldown detection – Advanced film mode processing techniques which help maximize image detail and sharpness for NTSC or PAL sources that originated from film (Patent Pending).
Accu-RATE Frame Lock (AFL) - A patented technology exclusive to Extron that solves frame rate conversion issues experienced by video scalers. When video input and output refresh rates differ, there are certain points in time when the two rates cross over each other. The result is a glitch or image freeze on the display. AFL solves this problem by locking the output frame rate to the input frame rate.
Quad standard video decoding compatibility – The USP 405 uses a digital, four-line adaptive comb filter to decode NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and SECAM for integration in systems all over the world.
Genlock - All video outputs (NTSC & PAL) can be synchronized to an outside reference signal, enabling transitions between sources that are clean and precise.
Test patterns - Ten test patterns are available, including a crop pattern, crosshatch, 16 bar gray scale, color bars, alternating pixels, ramp, 4 x 4 crosshatch for use with video walls, and three film aspect ratio patterns (1.78, 1.85, and 2.35) for setting up letterbox DVDs. It also features a blue-only mode for proper setup of the video scaler.
Freeze button - Each input of the USP 405 can be frozen using the freeze button on the front panel. When the freeze button is pressed, it will light red and the input that is selected will flash. Once an input has been frozen, the input to the unit can be removed and the frozen output image will not be lost until another source has been selected.
Picture controls - Brightness, contrast, centering, color, tint, detail, size, zoom, and panning can all be adjusted through the front panel. The USP 405 can zoom the image up to 200%.
Memory presets - Inputs one and two support 32 auto recall memories each, based on incoming frequency. Information on sizing, centering, detail, contrast, and brightness is saved.
RS-232 control - A rear panel, RS-232 control port provides connection of the USP 405 to a third-party control system.
Vertical blanking - Variable top and bottom blanking eliminates edge noise caused by tapehead switching and captioning.
Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) - Extron’s SIS is a set of basic ASCII code commands that provide simple control through a third-party control system. Instead of programming in long, obscure strings of code, SIS makes it easy to operate an Extron product using RS-232 control.
Front panel security lockout - This feature locks out all front panel functions except basic switching; however, all functions are available through RS-232 control.
Rack-mountable - The USP 405 is housed in a 1U, full rack width metal enclosure. Mounting brackets are included.
Internal international power supply - The 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, autoswitchable internal power supply provides worldwide power compatibility.
