Hall Research scaler accepts various video formats
Hall Research Technologies
Multiple-format video scaler
Hall Research has released the model SC-1080H, a multiple-format video scaler with five distinct types of AV input: HDMI/DVI, PC/VGA, YPbPr, S-Video and Composite Video.
The company said the device provides a scaled digital video output that can be selected to display any of the inputs.
The SC-1080H can accept various video formats and resolutions and its output can be scaled to any desired resolution for display on HDMI or DVI compliant display.
Audio inputs include both analogue and digital types, while the audio output is digital (S/PDIF) on a separate connector as well as embedded in the HDMI video stream.
Intuitive front-panel controls, infrared remote, and RS-232 control interface are said to allow its use in many professional applications and installations.
Hall Research said advanced video scaling with smooth and jitter-free output is capable of producing any PC resolution up to 1,920 x 1,280 or HDTV resolution up to 1,080p.
The SC-1080H provides extensive on-screen display capabilities, and supports EDID on all applicable ports.
Analogue video inputs support both NTSC and PAL video and feature an adaptive 3D comb filter.
The unit is 1RU high and half-rack wide, so that two can fit side-by-side in a 1RU space.
