Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview
The HDP3 is a miniature 3G/HD/SD-SDI to DVI-D converter for digital display devices
(graphics and video), such as LED, LCD, DLP and Plasma monitors (and projectors) with
support for 1080p60. Using a very high quality scaling engine, the HDP3 will
automatically size 4:3 or 16:9 inputs to many DVI-D monitors. For appropriate monitor
configurations, scaling is automatically 1 to 1—for example, displaying 1920x1080 video
on a WUXGA (1920x1200) monitor. Where appropriate, the HDP3 can automatically
adapt the input frame rate for monitor compatibility. In addition, the HDP3 provides 8
channel embedded audio over HDMI, 2 channel analog audio monitoring, and a looping
output of the SDI input.
The HDP3 is designed for general monitoring, perfect for use in applications such as:
General post-production reference monitoring, Client monitoring, Presentation,
Projection, Corporate displays, Kiosk applications, and more.
Deep color is supported in RGB and YCbCr. USB connectivity allows for easy PC/Mac
setup and field upgrades.
